Our Story
J & C Central is a local, community-focused auto repair shop conveniently located in Downtown Wheaton. Founded in 1978 by John Dimas, we've been serving the greater Wheaton area for over 45 years from the same location at 420 S. Main Street.
Over the years the business grew to include three locations — J&C West at County Farm and Roosevelt, J&C East in Downtown Glen Ellyn, and a Hot Rod Shop in Addison — before returning to our roots right here on Main Street.
We offer a complete line of car repair services — from engine and transmission repair to used car inspections and custom performance engine tuning. Our free and competitive estimates ensure you know exactly what is being fixed, with no additional unknown expenses.
And if you ever find yourself stranded or unable to get the car started, we offer 24/7 towing for any situation. Seeing that we're local, you won't have to wait hours for a tow.
