Get To Know JP MOTORS

About Us

Leading European vehicle specialist in Woodbridge, CT.

JP Motors LLC was started in a small two bay garage by Joe Portelinha in 1993.

Through hard work and attention to detail Joe quickly outgrew that little shop and made the decision to build a new facility from the ground up in order to meet the demands of his customers.

Our present location is 7000 square feet and contains nine working bays.

We officially opened the doors to the new building in 1999. Ever since we have grown year after year by providing the same level of expertise and value to our customers as in the beginning, we value our customers like family. This is the foundation of our success!

Let’s Talk Equipment and How It Affects YOU

At our core we believe in this business, you need to keep up with the times and technology. This all comes down to bringing value to YOU, our customer.

Here’s a little about the shop and what we can do!

Our building has a lower level for rebuilding engines and transmissions. On top of these features,  JP Motors LLC is taking the proactive and responsible steps to go green to reduce our carbon footprint.

Going Green!

We’ve installed a 10,000 watt solar panel array on our roof to conserve energy. Plus our shop is heated with strictly waste oil fueled equipment. Hot water is provided by an energy efficient on-demand system, yet another step to reduce our use of energy.

We have a five star rating with the Better Business Bureau, Angie’s list and Customer link.
