My visit at John's auto was a great , Had my A.C. completely checked and recharged , Work i had done there went well , They took great care with my car , Very satisfied , Cost of repairs was more than reasonable , I was very welcomed there , All who work there treated me great , I recommend them highly , Good auto shops are hard to find , But with John's Auto i don't think you'll be disappointed ,

I know nothing about car repair. I know where the gas goes and I can check the oil and add a quart, if needed. That is the extent of my knowledge of car maintenance and repair. Because I believe most auto repair place take advantage of women like me, I end up going to a Toyota dealership... yes, they will be more expensive, but I won't feel like they took me to the cleaners replacing my truck's "phalanges" (Friends joke). A coworker recommended John's Automotive Center about 10 years ago, back before they renamed the company, after my catalytic converter was stolen and the replacement converter still wasn't passing the smog check. I assumed that I would be spending $1,000s to check the truck fixed... but JAC was able to add a piece of metal (or something; the explanation went straight over my head) to the replaced converter and they ended up charging me less than $100. Seriously. And the truck passed the smog check, no problem. Another miracle JAC performed for me was when I brought them my truck for emitting a weird odor. The smell wasn't electrical- or petroleum-based. Even my car-smart dad couldn't figure it out. JAC figured it out in less than an hour... the engine area had sucked up a plastic bag on the freeway and the bag had melted on something. They charged me something like 30 minutes of labor because one of their technicians took a steel brush and scraped as much of the melted/burnt plastic off as possible. The smell was gone after a couple more times driving the car (like JAC predicted). If I still lived in San Diego, I would continue to go to JAC for my auto repair needs. Comment from John E. of John's Automotive Care Business Owner 10/4/2019Melissa, thank you so much for this wonderful review!! (We love the F.r.i.e.n.d.s reference) and are happy that you stopped in not once, but twice for us to take care of your truck! If you still lived in San Diego we would love to work with you again, so if you're ever back in the area and need anything please let us know!! Read more

They did The job in time I was told and were super pleasant and professional and I was in a bad mood due to getting stopped by a policeman the night before due to no '19 tag. I would definitely reccommend them to all my friends. Thank you to Justin whom I dealt with.

Everyone was extremely helpful from start to finish! Dawn was immensely helpful and kept me up to date on everything. My car was even done earlier than their original estimate. I’m so glad I was referred to them because they managed to make a pretty terrible situation as quick and painless as possible. Thank you all for everything!

John's Automotive Care was certainly worthy of their 5-star rating. From the moment Dawn answered my call, to the experience of having my car towed into their shop, and the phone conversations prior to picking my car up, fully fixed, on time and at the estimated amount -- Dawn and the rest of John's team were world-class! My time is currently split between Phoenix and San Diego, and I plan to make John's my #1 choice for all future maintenance on my vehicles. Thanks Dawn and John's Automotive!

Excellent, as always!!!

My oil change service was performed promptly and well, as expected. I was attended as soon as I entered the office and was able to have my vehicle serviced immediately.

AS always I was impressed by the complete report regarding the condition of my car...thanks again

They were able to address my vehicle issues quickly. Provided and accurate estimate and completed the work on time. This is why I return to John's for servicing my vehicles.

Great work to the whole crew!
