I brought in my car, knowing it was barely running. I had resolved that if I had to spend over a certain amount on repairs, I would just junk it. They gave the car a very thorough inspection, pictures included to explain the issues they found. When I decided I'd rather junk the car, they worked with me and even helped get the car towed. Every step of the way, they were unfailingly polite and helpful. As long as I'm in San Diego, this is the only place I'll go.

Hello Phillip! Wow-what an honest and heartfelt review to find on our page. We were happy to give a complete diagnostic for your vehicle, and even though it didn't work out in the end, we were delighted to assist every step of the way. Again, thank you so much for taking the time to write out this review, and we at John's Automotive Care look forward to seeing you in the future.

I brought my 2004 Acura TSX in for an alignment as the vehicle was beginning to pull to the left. The mechanic started work at the scheduled appointment time, and was finished in about an hour and 15 minutes. On the way home, as soon as I began to drive on the freeway, I noticed a pull to right more pronounced than the one to the left I originally went in with. I turned around and went back. They got right on the problem, rechecking, then tweaking the adjustments, only to find it still pulled to the right. After some additional investigations of the suspension system, all that could be found was that the two front tires, both relatively new and purchased at the same time, had worn differently by a significant amount. It was suggested we switch the two tires ( they are not unidirectional) to see if there would be a change. There was, with the car now pulling to the left again, but about the same or a little less than originally. So, John’s Auto spent an additional amount of time (about an hour and three quarters) seeking to solve the problem, which they did. In essence my answer, if I can’t abide the minor pull, is to get a new set of tires. The entire staff of John’s Auto is very courteous, and their excellent COVID 19 protocols, still fully in place, are top notch. And they could not have been more forthcoming in addressing the problem.

Hey there Robert! WOW, what a unique and favorable review to find on our page. Robert, thank you so much for going in-depth about the tire issues on your vehicle. We were more than happy to try and solve these tire issues on your vehicle, and we thank you for coming to us with these issues. We also value you commenting on our COVID-19 protocols that we have instilled in our facility. We cannot thank you enough, Robert, for writing this detailed and positive review for us at John's Automotive Care. We look forward to seeing you in the future!

Efficient, courteous and professional. They diagnosed and fixed my car's weird problem within hours. The customer service at John's Automotive is top notch. And they don't charge you dealership service center prices.

I literally only take my car to this shop. I’m a mid 20s female who doesn’t know much about cars ... and always feel like I might get ripped off.. but John’s automotive doesn’t make me feel like that at all. They are so friendly, so informative, so knowledgeable, and I don’t ever feel like I’m overpaying or feel “ripped off.” They really care about their customers and remember them! I had to come in to do an alignment one month, another month I was concerned about a noise in the back, and this month- a smog test (I have a great car, I’m just a paranoid girl who doesn’t want to trade this in anytime soon) and they really care about my car and tell me upfront what they would do if they were in my shoes. I 10/10 recommend them- shoutout to Justin for giving my puppy treats every time we come in!

Hello Valerie! Wow-what an incredible review! Thank you for all the detail and personal praise given in your review! We highly value your honesty and opinions regarding our recommendations and transparency. Here at John's Automotive Care, it's our priority that you feel comfortable and highly satisfied with the services we are providing. It was a pleasure to service your Honda Pilot (your pup was an adorable bonus). Thank you again for this review, looking forward to seeing you soon!
