Very helpful. I have some mechanical work experience so may have a general idea of when and where to look and repair. John's has repaired and inspected items that other shops had wrongly done or estimated. Go there first for fair treatment!

We had issues with alternator and battery, thought it was fixed. Took it back and they stood by their work without question and took the the time to figure out what was really wrong. Very pleasant to work with!!

Amazing service from my first phone call to when I picked up my car after it being fixed. The prices are great and you know you are getting top notch service. They were able to tell me what needed to be fixed right away and showed me the damage. They really work with you to make sure your experience is GREAT!

Have used John's Automotive Service for years, even before Al took over and have always experienced excellent service! Friendly atmosphere, and willing to answer any questions I may have. Reasonable prices along with quality service. If you are looking for a new mechanic, give Al a call.
