Very honest too I have recommended some of my senior friends to them because I know they will make sure their vehicle is in good running order snd maintenance is up to date.

“First and foremost, I would like to say thank you to the guys at Johns Automotive Care in El Cajon. I no longer live in San Diego, but my kids live in San Diego with their mother. My son called me up and said that he’s had a problem with his vehicle. I told him to call Johns Automotive Care, he did and Brian and the crew and El Cajon took care of him and gave him a great deal on getting his car fixed. If anybody out there is looking for a place to get a fair price in accurate repairs give them a call in El Cajon Johns Automotive Care. Once again, thank you, Brian and Johns Automotive Care of El Cajon.”

“I absolutely love the care and attention to detail this shop provides! Brittany was amazing—her phenomenal customer service skills truly stood out. Even though I was stressed and worried about my car troubles, she managed to cheer me up with her humor and kindness, making the experience much more comforting.
The continuous updates were fantastic! Being able to receive updates via text was a huge help, as it allowed me to go about my day without worrying about missing a call. Their website is also super user-friendly, giving me a clear breakdown of charges and showing detailed photos of the damages/issues with my car. It gave me full transparency and peace of mind.
On top of all this, they managed to get my car fixed the same day! Their efficiency and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this shop—10/10, they did not disappoint!”

The service was quick, and efficient, will be my go to shop from now on, thank you.”

“Just picked up my car and very satisfied with the service provided. Shane and Mike went above and beyond. I brought my car in needing breaks badly and when the parts took additional time they took care of a couple other misc items. I appreciate the honesty and knowing I was getting what I paid for. Won’t be taking my car anywhere else from now on.”

“The customer service was very friendly and welcoming. I didn't have much problem get my car looked at after a couple days wait since I was a walk-in. However after they looked at the issue they try to hit me with the highest price. I voiced my complaint and rather immediately I got a reply to try to resolve my issue. How is very satisfied with the phone call and they're willingness to help me. Thank you for making it right.”
“Most recently, I had a stage 2 clutch installed in a 02 pt cruiser. I'm very happy. I also brought my 2016 Honda Civic for an idle issue a year ago, and it has worked perfectly ever since.

David and Justin are very knowledgeable and will bend over backward to help get your vehicle back on the road and at a reasonable price”

It’s rare to find an auto shop that’s both honest and reasonably priced, but Motec delivers on both. I always feel confident bringing my car here knowing they’ll take great care of it without upselling or taking advantage.
A special shoutout to Adolpho—he’s the best! He consistently goes above and beyond to make sure everything is done quickly and efficiently. He takes the time to explain what needs to be done and why, which I really appreciate. It’s clear he cares about his customers and takes pride in his work.
If you’re looking for a shop you can trust, Motec Autocare is the place to go.”
