I needed a smog test and used it as an excuse to check out a new repair garage for my vehicles. I picked John's Garage largely because their shop vehicle is a Honda Element, and the vehicle that I drive in our home is also a Honda Element. Pros: Great customer service, friendly customer service reps in the front and from what I could tell, a group of efficient and knowledgeable mechanics in the back. Cons: Pretty bad parking. Being very close to a hospital definitely has its drawbacks. Eventually, I pulled to their lot, and one spot miraculously opened up. I'll be returning again shortly for some repairs, a smog check isn't enough to know how good they are, but their shop vehicle gives me hope that they will be my new garage.

Electrical issues are always fun. They traced out the problem and replaced a bad connector. Also fixed a backup light that I didn’t know that was not working. Thank you .

Consistently great service

This is the Best auto repair shop in San Diego! Free shuttle too. What's not to love.

John's Automotive Care precedes them with their honesty and going beyond expectations to insure customer satisfaction. Highly recommend this company!

Great service. Dawn makes sure I know what is needed and explains the costs. Jeff is a friendly and safe shuttle driver.

One of the best! I’ll definitely be coming back.

We have our own personal rep at Johns for our business needs. Dawn always takes great care of us and our vehicles. You get what you pay for and if you need high quality professional work every time, Johns Automotive is the place to go, and we love Dawn!

I have a 04 F350 with a freshly rebuilt engine. Drove from Phoenix to San Diego on my way to Ensenada. Stopped at Costco and would not start. The good John's was able to get me in same day. I thought it might be the alternator. They found a bad battery cable and dead battery. Replaced cable and recharged the battery and on the road again. The Bad same issue 2 days later. I checked all battery cables and found a number of loose ground cables. In fairness not the cables John's replaced. I would recommend them for any of your needs

John's Automotive is a great place to take my vehicles for repairs. Their prices are good, they always perform a thorough check of my vehicles, let me know about preventative measures, scheduling repairs is easy. Mathew was very helpful and I appreciate the time he took to explain my problem.
