An oil change and a few fasteners later, John's Automotive has offered nothing but excellent, honest, and straight forward service for my 2017 Mazda 6.Matt expertly diagnosed a rattling problem and boldly proceeded to replaced stripped bolts that had caused the problem. All within an afternoon! Other shops failed to find the problem and/or said I needed thousands of dollars worth of repairs.I'll definitely be using John's Automotive while I am in California!

Luanne the owner and Zack provide Outstanding customer service. My car was ready on time and serviced by Matt who is a Outstanding mechanic. No extras added and everything was explained to me on the invoice by Zack. If you visit Evans tires they will double the price and find something else wrong.Do not go to Evans tires.Johns Automotive is the BEST and trustworthy. Just completed another visit to Johns Automotive for a synthetic oil change, brake fluid exchange,rear and front brake inspection, engine air filter and AC filter and all fluids inspection. No problems at all. If l had gone to the. Car dealership for my Chevy Camaro they would most likely found something wrong and jacked up the price for my bill. I watched the mechanics do all the work and I was out of the shop in 1 hour. Great service and service writer Zack is full of knowledge and answered all my questions. Matt and Ulysses are outstanding mechanics. Highly RECOMMEND Johns Automotive for any type of car service.

These guys are honestly great. It’s the first time I’ve gone to a shop and genuinely felt like the people working there, are working to help me. They’re genuinely honest, hard working, and fair priced. I’ve yet to have a bad experience, and honestly, I don’t think I’ll get one from them.Services: Transmission

The team at John's Automotive has been our family's trusted mechanics for several years. They do quality work and made sure the job was done well before handing me back my keys.

10 stars! I've been to several big name auto shops over the last 6 months. Nobody could figure out my truck issue until we came to John's. Everyone was helpful, professional & very knowledgeable. We've found our new mechanics! Thank you John's automotiveServices: Transmission

In response to the owner comment. Yes, they were willing to give the senior citizen discount and military. They also gave it on the initial inspection to for 10% off which I appreciated.Reply back from CalWest Auto that fixed our car:Freon was low causing AC compressor not to turn on. No obvious leaks and passed a 20 min vacuum test. Serviced with leak dye. We have a Freon sniffer and checked in the vents and found nothing so it has been filled up and works great and is warranted for a year. I always recommend returning in a month or so for an inspection on all seals since the new compressor oil has leak dye in it and you can get a very slow leak from the seals.———————-Super disappointed by this place. Went to get my dads A/C looked at and they said that they had to take the dash out, fix a leak in the coils, had to call to get the replacements. The total cost? $1,900.Then on the appointed time, (a week and a half later) their mechanic couldn’t make it due to family emergency. Something seemed off.We went to another place to get it looked at and it was NOT what they had said. I’m upset because I didn’t think places like this existed where they just try to scam you out of your money.I’m sure this place does great for other things but be weary. If you need the cost estimate they sent to us versus the new place (go to Cal West Auto in San Marcos btw) I’ll send the paperwork your way. Trust that you should not go here.

These guys are great. They were professional and easy to speak with. They didn’t have the typical douche bag attitude that most mechanics have. Did a walk in drop off to get get my rear brakes changed. Had the vehicle back in just a few hours. They said the fronts were still good and didn’t try to jam me to get all 4 sets replaced. They showed me how worn the rear pads got, so I felt good about taking the car in to get the replacement doneService: Brakes
