The best auto shop in the San Diego area! The staff was not only extremely friendly, but very knowledgeable and helpful. They were very explicit in the fact that they don't make commission so any suggestion for repairs is just that...a suggestion. Went in for a standard oil change and tire rotation, but through their free inspection I was emailed a thorough report (which included pictures of the compromised part on my vehicle) and highly suggested that I have it replaced. Their quote was very fair and the work was quick. If you're going to spend your hard earned money at an auto shop, take it to John's...you won't be disappointed!

We've taken our autos to John's for years. They are honest, efficient, and stand behind their work. I would highly recommend John's.

This is hands down the best automotive shop I’ve ever encountered. I only wish I had found them sooner. Everyone is super friendly, helpful and efficient. I have recommended Johns Automotive to all my friends!

Justin was an Awesome Mechanic, and Representative, he was a Honest, diligent, knowledgeable, and Consumer/Customer Friendly!!!! John’s Automotive “Where Customer Care” really matters!!!

excellent service

John's Automotive has been our go-to place for auto care for years. They are very professional and thorough. We receive emails detailing the tests performed, work being planned, and current status. In addition our service representative, Justin, calls with updates and to discuss options. Every employee we've come in contact with has provided equally professional service. John's is also involved in our community, something that helps us all.

At risk of giving away my secret gem of an automotive shop, we LOVE this place. It is everything we ever looked for in a mechanic. They are extremely trustworthy, never pushy, always so nice and friendly. I recently called them about a certain problem I was hearing about on the CRVs because I was nervous mine might have it too. He explained everything and more to me about it and said the Honda is rolling out a recall. He then gave me things to look out for that would signify that I had the issue on my 2018 crv. Any other shop I've been to would one, been short, not spending that time discussing with me over the phone and two would have had me come in so they could "look at it" and charge me for it. Not Johns, they treat you like a family member here, never wanting you to spend more than absolutely necessary. They even let my son pick out a toy from a huge toy box! Snacks, drinks and coffee are available in the waiting area as well. Your walked to your car after its ready and thanked for your business with candy and your receipt :) My husband and I will always come here and fully trust them with our cars. Thank you to everyone at Johns automotive care! We've meet almost everyone in the office and they are all fantastic. You truly take the stress out of car maintenance. Comment from John E. of John's Automotive Care Business Owner 4/8/2019Brittany, thank you so much for sharing this wonderful feedback with us!!

My car battery died suddenly and required a jumpstart every time I had to turn the ignition off. I’ve made several calls at different locations but the replacement battery for my car are always out of stock in other auto shops. I found John’s Auto Repair on Yelp, called to check they have the parts, and walked-in. The repair was done very quickly (never happens to me)! The staff are very friendly and helpful, too. Justin advised me to get other inspection done so I can make a better informed decision. Jason found and fixed another issue I didn’t know my car had. There was none of the icky feeling that women often get when you get your car serviced and everyone just tries to upsell you because you don’t know any better. Definitely coming back and will refer a lot of friends here.

We have been coming to John's for over 23 years. These are honestly the best group of individuals you will ever meet. From the first time we took in our car, to the appointment today for a simple smog test, you are made to feel like part of a family. A family of excellence and pride in what they do. Thank you all for taking great care of us
