I can't speak about other locations, only La Mesa where Ive been going, and I can't say enough good things about them! They have the funniest guys and always give it to you straight. They always let me know what needs immediate attention as well as what's in "yellow" and needs to be looked at soon. I love the text/email updates as they go along in the process of working on my vehicle. No other place has that kind of system for their customers to see for themselves, with shop pics uploaded of my car, through the detailed system. My car burns more oil than it used to because of age and they always let me swing on it to get it topped off if needed. Their prices are not that much more than others, definitely cheaper than the dealership, and Ive personally called around before to find out and I always come back to John's in La Mesa because I know they will do it right the first time and I won't have to worry. I won't take my cars to anyone else. They also steer me in the right direction if they notice something they don't deal with but needs done for my vehicles, such as electrical & body damage. They also provide shuttle service which most car mechanics I've seen don't do. Thank you Brian and Jay for being so awesome, hilarious, honest, and helpful!
