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!
Knowledgeable and friendly staff that provides honest feedback without any high-pressure sales tactics.
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 .
Quick and fair brake replacement, service advisors were nice and honest, will definitely come back
First time customer and very pleased with the service. Will be returning for future work.

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.
Very professional and fair pricing. They do a great job. Very honest and go above and beyond with customer service!!! I recommend them to anyone who is having car trouble.
We were in town from out of state. Our car was giving us trouble. They were quick to diagnose & remedy the situation. Bryan, Neil, & Rick were very nice, professional, very friendly and happy to help us out. We would recommend this place every time for your car service needs!
I went in for an oil change. My first time since losing a very good mechanic to cancer. I was pleasantly surprised by their friendliness, attention to detail and competent work. Bonus was a complete report on my car and what may need work in the future, but no pressure to do it now. Extra bonus points was the ride…
Very thorough in checking my vehicle to ensure preventive maintenance of a vehicle that is 12 years old. Excellent customer service!!
Everyone was incredibly accomodating, responsive and thorough in the the diagnostics and repair of my CX 5 and C230. I couldn't be happier with the end result. Shout out to Dave, Robert and all the technicians that worked on both vehicles...Very professional.
Had oil change & tire rotation done on 2 vehicles. The staff at John’s Automotive are kind and professional.
