If you're looking for an ethical car repair shop that provides and lives up to it's repair warranty you won't find a better shop than John's Automotive. Al and his employees stand behind their repairs and will make it right if an issue arises during their 3-year, 36,000 mile warranty period. That's great peace of mind.

As always I received prompt and friendly service at John's Auto. I rolled in at my appointment time and they got me right in and right back out again with no problem. I would highly recommend these guys for any repairs you may need.

I've found cheaper places around town, but no shop that can beat the quality of work I've experienced time after time over the last several years when John's works on my trucks. If price is the only factor you care about, you're going to miss the VALUE these guys offer. I'll be a customer again.

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!
