Great turn around, lower cost than expected, and they communicated everything the entire way through getting the repairs I needed. Couldn't say enough good things about them and I will be back if I need any further repairs.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review, Alex! Quality repairs at a fair cost is what we're all about, while keeping our customers informed every step of the way. We appreciate your support and hope you have a fantastic day!

The reviews are right and spot on. I have never experienced such amazing auto service. My car was overheating and we had already had the engine check light issue checked by two other shops with no success. Looked online and found John’s based on the great reviews. They did not disappoint and they quickly found the issue and fixed it. Engine light warning gone, car is no longer overheating and AC is back working. John’s Automotive is very knowledgeable and you immediately have confidence that you are not going to be given the run around. They are extremely thorough and will do a complete inspection of your car and send you a report with photos so you can see the issues. No BS here. Their customer service is top notch. Whether you are calling in or going into the shop - they treat you like a long time friend and customer. You will feel right at home here. They quote you prices and you do not feel swindled at all. If anything changes, they will notify you and tell you what happened. Don’t walk - run to John’s Automotive. I assure you, you will never visit a different shop after the visit.

Thank you so much for your fantastic review, E M! It is always our pleasure to serve our customers with a wonderful experience through our knowledgeable and thorough approach to automotive services. We treat all of our customers like long-time friends and are dedicated to honest and transparent pricing. We are incredibly appreciative of your support and are proud to have earned your trust!

My car literally lost it brakes as I was leaving from my doctors appointment. My teenage daughter was driving and I didn’t think she honestly knew what she was talking about, but I was wrong and the brake did go out. We ended up directly in front of John’s Automotive. Quite the coincidence and right away the staff were welcoming and sincere. They were honest about the possibilities of cost, kept me in the loop, car came back more responsive, & I even got complimentary sodas, lol! In all seriousness, Dave, Rodney, along with all the other staff, mechanics included were really genuine. Thank you & I will definitely coming back for all other issues no matter how minor.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review, Rod! We are so glad that you and your daughter were safe and that we were able to help with your brake issue. Our team is all about honest and efficient service, no matter if our customers are new or old. We appreciate your trust in us and look forward to helping you with any future car needs. Cheers!

Long time customer. John's is a first rate shop . Cheapest no. But you get what you pay for . If you want it done right this is your spot . They stand behind thier work and if it goes wrong know they will make it right . Also like the Napa auto repair warranty. Piece of mind for when you are on the road .

It's hard to find an auto care or mechanic shop that's honest, trustworthy, and offers fair prices. This place checks all three boxes and then some. I highly recommend! I decided to have work done on my car after reading so many positive reviews and I was not disappointed. They offer quotes and can schedule service over the phone, they are friendly and knowledgeable, and they take pictures and send you an online report after inspecting your car. Also, be sure to ask about their referral program because you and the person you refer receive gift certificates for future services. I've had oil changes done on 3 cars, a brake repair, and the brake fluid changed on 2 cars. I have had a great experience every time. What will make me continue to go back is that on my last service, I was accidently charged for 2 filters when only 1 was installed. I would have never caught this myself, but I received a call from John's Automotive the very same day with an explanation of the mistake and an apology. 2 days later I received a check in the mail for the $9 refund of the overcharge. After being ignored, dismissed, lied to, and taken advantage of by countless other businesses, this is something that truly stands out as honest and exceptional customer service. John's has earned my loyalty.

Thank you for your kind review, Peter! It's truly a pleasure to hear that you had a positive experience at our shop. We strive to provide honest, trustworthy, and fair services to our customers, and we are happy that we checked all the boxes for you. We are also glad that our referral program and online reports were helpful for you. We apologize for the overcharge and are grateful that we were able to rectify the mistake and earn your loyalty. Thank you for choosing John's Automotive Care for all your car maintenance and repair needs. We look forward to serving you again in the future!
