I love bringing my car to John's Automotive Care! They have taken care of my car for the last 4 years, and are thorough, honest and my car is happy! What more could you want!
The busted passenger mirror unit was replaced in half a day after it was ordered. As a caregiver for my mother, I appreciate the efficiency. It works perfectly with all the electrical connections .
My sister loves the news brakes! Kayla was super informative and gleeful. From learning she was the master-mind behind the teams fantastic social media to her extensive knowledge on mechanics to customer service. Everything she found in her bumper to bumper diagnosis was written out in plain-english and truly…
First time customer and very pleased with the service. Will be returning for future work.
So much better than going to a dealership
John’s is the greatest. Trustworthy and the offer complimentary transportation
I highly recommend John’s Automotive for everyone. I was delighted that they could service my new hybrid!!!!! Every employee is totally focused on your vehicle, your understanding of needed service and on your personal experience! After the first checkup at a dealership, which was supposed to be free, I drove by…
John’s Automotive is a first class operation. They’ve done work on my Lexus and my Scion and I am extremely happy with the results, including their pricing. I’m retired from 45 years of owning my own trucking business and maintaining my trucks. That qualifies me to give Johns Automotive a Five out of five stars.…
Great service, welcoming staff.
Rick was great, no pressure on services that were suggested, was thorough and friendly. Highly recommend, they don't try to up sale you like other places.
The best service I ever had Rick and the team are super professional and more important than anything. Super honest people do not hesitate schedule an appointment right now they’re amazing.
Always polite and informative. John’s Automotive is fair and good work. I took my van in for an oil change, and they gave me a full report on things that needed attention. From severe to passive. I now plan preventative care instead of emergency care. I know what needs attention and how much to budget.
Honest, good people. I appreciate their work on my GMC Acadia to keep her going, especially after working with a rotten dealership who just seemed to want me to buy a new car. Happily recommend John’s to anyone!
Just had another great experience @ John’s Automotive! Thanks for your care & expertise, as always!
They do good work and seem honest. They offered to fix an oil leak under warranty.
My neighbor Thom has been going to John”s Automotive for 25 years. So when I had an issue with my mechanic having me pay 2500- for a repair that left me on the side of the freeway and then was saying it was going to need a Turbo at 4k more I towed it to Johns Automotive with Thoms referral. For 300- they put it back…
This shop is my first choice for everything automotive. They are professional yet personal, the work is always completed at or below competitor prices and on time. After 4 years bringing both my business and personal vehicles here I drive with confidence knowing that if they have signed off on it...its good to go.…
