The was my 1st experience with John’s. They have great customer service and they include a thorough inspection. The repair was done in a timely manner and the labor charge was reasonable. My only objection is they only offered the genuine manufacturer part which cost $300 compared to other highly rated 3rd party parts that cost $50. I would’ve liked the less expensive options to bring the total cost of the repair down. As a result, I’ll likely look at other auto repair shops in the future.

Had some trouble with car randomly not starting, brought car in and battery was covered under warranty so no cost. Techs couldn't find any other problems so hopefully problem is resolved.

Thank you for the great review, Randy! We're glad we could help with your battery. If anything else comes up, we're here for you!

Let’s set the scene: my steering wheel looked like it had just gotten back from a party and couldn’t walk a straight line. I knew it was time for an alignment—and while I was at it, I figured a transmission flush wouldn’t hurt either (because apparently I’m that person now: the one who thinks about transmission health in the shower). So I did what any responsible adult would do—consulted the holy trinity of trust: AAA, reviews, and a sprinkle of gut instinct. That’s how I found John’s Automotive Care, and let me tell you: I found the mechanic unicorn. From the very first phone call, I was treated like a long-lost cousin who actually returned the Tupperware. Polite, professional, and dare I say…refreshing? The staff walked me through the process, answered my questions without a hint of condescension (rare in the car care world), and kept me updated every step of the way. And the price? I braced myself for the budget bruising…and instead walked out with my wallet still smiling. An honest mechanic and fair pricing? I almost needed to sit down. Bonus kudos: they spotted a tire worn down to the cords—basically holding on for dear life—and kindly flagged it before it decided to retire on the freeway. Thanks to their heads-up, I rolled straight to Costco the next day and got all four replaced. Crisis averted. The shop itself? Clean enough to eat off the floor (but, like, don’t). Hours? Made for real humans with 9-to-5 lives and a fondness for sleeping in on Saturdays. In conclusion: John’s Automotive Care didn’t just fix my car—they restored my faith in auto shops. 10/10 recommend for anyone who prefers their mechanics competent, their prices fair, and their steering wheels facing forward.

Thank you so much, Julie, for taking the time to share your experience at John's Automotive Care with us! Reading your review brought a huge smile to our faces and validated our mission of providing top-notch car care with honesty and fair pricing. We're thrilled to have restored your faith in auto shops and are beyond grateful for your trust in us.

They are easily the best mechanics I have personally worked with. As a woman it's hard to find a mechanic who I don't feel like is taking advantage of me and actually explains everything to me and what's wrong with my car. They did a absolutely fantastic job explaining the problem to me. I truly felt taken care of by them. I moved to the LA area and I will still be going back to them for my car repairs.

Thank you so much for trusting John's Automotive Care, Anna! We are delighted to know that you had a great experience with us and appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We would be more than happy to continue being your go-to mechanics, even after your move to LA. We value your trust and look forward to seeing you in the future. Take care!

Aaron was amazing. Honest. I really appreciated his openness. I felt comfortable leaving my car there. I was in a lot of traffic today and it ran like a dream! Such a relief. One of the best things they did that no one else has done was they fixed my clock before I picked it up. It hadn’t been on the right time since the last mechanic worked on it. My radio was even adjusted. Thanks guys. That was impressive. ( it’s the little things.. like saying hi to my dog.) I’ll definitely be back.

Thank you for trusting John's Automotive Care, Judie! Honesty and quality service are our mission during every appointment and we are happy that you felt comfortable leaving your car in our care. It's always a pleasure to help make our customers' lives a little easier, like fixing your clock and adjusting your radio. And of course, we always love saying hi to our furry customers! See you next time!
