Welcome to John's Automotive Care! As the go-to auto repair shop for San Diego drivers, we service and repair both foreign and domestic vehicles. Our auto mechanics will thoroughly inspect your car for any issues that could jeopardize you or your passengers' safety. Our genuine concern for you won't waver throughout your entire visit.

John's Automotive Care is unlike any other auto service center in San Diego, but what specifically makes us special and unique? We go beyond basic auto repair. We go that extra mile to ensure your car will, too. Here are just a few reasons why John's Automotive Care is the trusted source among drivers from San Diego, Mission Valley, Mission Valley East, Grantville, Rolando, Rolando Village, Oak Park, Tierrasanta, Allied Gardens, San Carlos, Serra Mesa, Kearny Mesa, and Hillcrest:

  1. We perform a full inspection on every car that comes into our San Diego auto repair shop. Our auto mechanics will inspect your car from bumper to bumper. When we service your vehicle, we like to have a comprehensive picture, and these inspections are the best way to accomplish this task. During the inspection process, we make sure to take detailed pictures to share with you. Together, we will decide on a course of action best suited to your car's safety and longevity, along with your budget.
  2. Our auto mechanics are certified, experienced, and educated in servicing virtually every vehicle make and model. Plus, our work is backed by the Napa Auto Care Peace-of-Mind-Warranty of 24-month/24,000-miles.
  3. We are friendly, personable, and eager to help any way we can. We listen to you and we try our best to eliminate any headaches. We offer a free shuttle service, as well as rental cars at discounted rates. After your car is serviced, we will follow up with you to make sure all is going well with the auto repairs performed.
  4. Above all, we strive to go above and beyond for you, your family and your vehicle. We have a “treasure chest” full of fun surprises for your little ones, treats for your doggie companions, and chocolate for you. Our waiting room is comfortable and boasts a kid's play area. At John's Automotive Care, we want your experience with us to be terrific.

When your vehicle needs auto repair, John's Automotive Care is here to help. While our auto mechanics service your vehicle, you can sit back, relax and feel confident your car is in capable hands. We go above and beyond for you, whether that means offering your pup a biscuit, providing you with a thorough, detailed vehicle inspection, or walking you to your car after its serviced. To schedule an appointment at John's Automotive Care, call us. We are located at 6267 Riverdale St, San Diego, CA 92120.
