Brought a car in for a pre-purchase inspection. They had it for 4.5+ hours and haven't finished it. Owner is texting continuously for status. They have jeopardized the purchase of this car for us, and now we're left with choosing to buy a used car without an inspection. Go elsewhere!

Hi Sonja, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for any stress this situation caused. We always quote a 4-6 hour window for our pre-purchase inspections to ensure that we have adequate time to properly inspect the vehicle and provide a thorough assessment. The report that we email you comes with pictures and details of what we find including items that are unsafe or raise further questions, that need attention soon, or that are in good shape. We feel that with this information you can make a well-educated decision on the purchase of the vehicle. We apologize for not doing a better job of communicating this to you at the time the vehicle was dropped off. We can understand how the wait and uncertainty surrounding the inspection may have been stressful, especially since the owner of the vehicle did not understand what was involved in our process. We know the importance of the pre-purchase inspection so we will not take any shortcuts in our inspection or reporting process. If there is anything we can do to assist you further or help with any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for trusting us with your vehicle and we hope to have the chance to serve you again in the future.

They did a fantastic diagnostic job, for my Honda Civic, even though the repair was not worth it (motor and transmission) because my car is old enough to buy another one instead. But they did a profesional problem report, and at the end they didn’t even charge us anything! So I really recommend working with them.

Hi Janette, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're glad we could provide a thorough diagnostic for your Honda Civic, even if the repair wasn't the best option. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we're always happy to help however we can. It's great to hear that our professionalism stood out to you. Thank you for trusting in John's Automotive Care, and we’re grateful for your recommendation. If you ever need assistance again in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Everybody on the team was really informative and friendly. I didnt feel pressured to pay for any unnecessary services. I dont know a lot about cars, so I am usually pretty uncomfortable in these spaces - but they communicated everything clearly and never made me feel stupid or uncomfortable. I definitely recommend coming here.

Hi Renee, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re really glad to hear that you felt comfortable and well-informed throughout your visit. It’s important to us that every customer feels respected, especially when they’re not as familiar with car repairs. We’re happy that we could make that happen for you! We truly appreciate your recommendation, and we’re here whenever you need us again!

Dropped car off at 10 for an oil change and to check on a noise. Said they needed the car overnight. Surprised but ok. Called me at 3:30 to tell me they could not find the wheel lock. They had no driven the car, they had just put it up to change the oil. ALL DAY they had the car and just now said that they would not be driving it to find the noise since they couldn’t find the wheel lock. Suffice it to say, an overnight stay for an oil change is not anything I’m ever doing again.

Hi Gloria, We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We understand your frustration with the delay and miscommunication regarding the wheel lock. Our goal is always to provide prompt and reliable service, and it seems we fell short this time. We’ll take your feedback seriously and work on improving our processes to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future. We appreciate your patience and would welcome the opportunity to make things right. If you have any further concerns, please feel free to contact us directly. Thank you for your feedback.

David Carr was off the charts! Very helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. Not only all of that, but he did the work faster and (significantly) less expensive than the first estimate we got. Highly recommend him and John’s Automotive
