Love these guys. They're honest, have experienced mechanics that know what they're doing, and my car is always in top shape when they're done. I highly recommend them. read more

I've been a customer at Joe's Auto for over 10 years, but my recent visit was disappointing. Joe and his wife were not running the shop this time; it was someone new, and that change has removed what once kept me coming back. I was charged $150 for a routine oil change--nearly double what I've paid in the past--and a tire rotation was not done. I was also told my rear tires were bad and needed replacement, but they were later checked by a trustworthy person and confirmed to be in very good condition. The honesty and trustworthiness that defined this place are gone. Based on this experience, I won't be returning. read more

I was really happy with the service I got at Joe's! We were given updates daily, and though pricing was a little high, they did a great job at getting me back on the road. read more

Joe's Auto Center - My poor car - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

Joe's Auto Shop has been fair with cooperative care in that they have now referred me to two places in Long Beach where I've had excellent and timely service! Francis and Juseph have been particularly helpful for both tire pressure and 2 referrals as well! One was for body work, and the other for tires...Thank you for your very appreciated recommendations!!! read more

My wife and I have been going to Joe's since 2007 !!!! He has taken care of our cars - Hondas, Mazdas and Subarus - so well. Love seeing him back and always love seeing his wife, Vera. read more

The family who owns and runs the shop are amazing people. They will always take care of you and have your best interest! I've been taking my car here for years and will never change my auto shop :) Highly recommend! read more

Today I suffered the last of many issues of my dying vehicle. I knew it was coming; my Subaru SUV coughed its last breath this afternoon. Over the past two years, Joe's Auto Center went FAR above and beyond their contractual agreement, time and time again, to keep my aging vehicle running far beyond its expected lifespan. As many times before, Joe's AC had a chance to take advantage of me and charge me for any number of reasons that they would have been contractually grounded in charging me, but they took the high road...again, something that only a reputable business that values integrity over profit would do. What a gracious and admirable business that takes pride in its work and exemplary care of its customers, a rare find these days. read more

I've been coming to Joe's Auto Center for about 2yrs because it used to feel like an honest, fair, and welcoming place to get car work done. I recently paid $143.40 for an oil change on a 2016 chevy colorado, i was quoted $240 for a coolant flush and $633 for a transmission filter, gasket, and fluid change. There's a new person running things and it seems like prices have gone up, and the quotes and services don't feel as honest as they used to. I checked my tire pressure and the numbers were exactly as when I dropped off the vehicle which makes me think they are not properly doing the job. It doesn't feel honest anymore and prices seem too high for me to continue with their services. It's unfortunate because I genuinely like supporting mom-and-pop shops, and this used to feel like home. Now, it just doesn't. I hope Joe's Auto Center can return to the fair and trustworthy service it once had. read more

Great shop very trustworthy and the quality of the work is good. Highly recommend this shop

Finally honest mechanics. What a great place, they are thorugh, honest, reliable and pretty cool guys Extremely reasonable prices. I brought in my hybrid and unable to repair due to software equipment they didn't charge me a thing. Who does that? I did tip them cause there's no tax on tips now... Strongly recommend Thanks Joe. Great guys! read more

They changed the oil in my car quickly & gave a fair price. I will be returning to this place!

Cannot believe it's been 6 more years with Joe's Auto Center....it's now 14 years with Joe and his incredible family and mechanics. I constantly refer friends and neighbors.....they all come back to me so happy and grateful for honest mechanics. Each person that works there is special, honest and kind. I have NEVER in my life experienced this kind of service anywhere--even in TEXAS....for many years I would trust dealerships...then learned the hard way re mark-up of service/parts/tires. You walk in and you always get a smile and a polite person that is KIND. Kind is rare...honest is rare...how sad.....yet if you go to Joe's you will always get this type of care. I am forever grateful to everyone at Joe's Auto....you are the best. read more

Joe's is honest and stands by his warranty. I had an issue with my car and he fixed it but it came back. He fixed it again at no charge and even went the extra mile to ensure it didn't return. Quality shop and mechanic. Highly recommend read more

Joe's is great! I've come here a few times and have always experienced wonderful service! Everyone is very friendly and I love that it is a family owned business! I've gotten my oil changed, tires rotated, and belts replaced. I'd highly recommend :) read more

Excellent service, friendly people, great prices will continue to come back! Thank you to everyone at Joe's!

I have been going Joe's Auto for well over 10 years, and have always gotten good service on my vehicle, and he is fair.

Just want to commend Adam & Francis. These guys are very nice, courteous, & friendly, and their Technicians are very knowledgeable to what they're doing. read more

Was referred to Joe's Auto Center by a neighbor who owns the same Mercedes as I do. I've gone to Joe's for my brakes before and was very content with the value and excellent work. Came in a second time for my schedule B Service and saved me A LOT compared to the dealership. Thank you to all the friendly people who work at Joe's. Everyone I've met is knowledgeable and professional. I trust Joe's Auto Center for my 2015 GLK. I'm a loyal customer now. I highly recommend. Thank you Joe's Auto Center! read more

Straight forward, honest, timely, and affordable. What more do you want from a mechanic. Will keep coming back here over and over.

Horrible place. Do not come here! They pick and choose what cars their "qualified mechanics" can and wanna work on. Liars, scammers, and opportunists like most auto shops around. Thought you guys were different from the rest cause of the reviews but now I know. Someday, all the scandalous things you've done to honest hard working people will catch up to you guys. Till then .. suck it easy you scumbags. read more

I've taken my car to Joes for over 10 years. Joe and his wife have been so sweet and the absolute best! Always great service. I had yet to go to the new location since I moved out of state and then back. I called in Monday June 2nd and explained about the issue my car was having to the guy on the phone - he told me to bring it in the next day in the morning. I had also asked if Joe was going to be there since I'd love to say hello to him since being gone, and he said he just comes when he wants. Okay then. So I show up on Tuesday morning and the guy at the counter explains he has no openings until Friday morning at 8am. Very frustrating since I had already taken Tuesday off of work. So I said okay. I came back again Friday morning at 8am, explained again what was wrong with my car and he cuts me off and said he has no time to get me in that day. I explained I had now taken two days off of work to come to these appointments that they gave me. He said he had a mechanic call out and what was he supposed to do. There was no apology, no mention of trying to get me in, nothing about openings next week. Basically he would not help. I was completely shocked at the lack of care or concern. I feel like Joe would have never treated one of his customers this way. I'm not sure if it's been since the move to their new location or if it was this particular "gentleman", but I'm so sad that I can no longer feel confident in taking my car to Joes. read more

Quality and exceptional customer service. They provide consultative services to educate and inform customers on the issue and options available read more

I have been a dedicated customer of Joes auto on wardlow for over 4 years now. Joe has always been kind, helpful and honest. Now that FRANCIS is running the place i am so disgusted by how i was treated. Came in to get an inspection and he told me it would be 200. told him i would come back when they opened and when i did, he told me he could not help me!!! back story: i came in 4 months ago and paid 150 to see what was wrong with my driver side window and why it wouldn't roll down. after the inspection, FRANCIS told me i needed a new switch. they replaced it and it still did not work. they apply the inspection fee to the service and since i also got an oil change, i didn't owe anything. in fact, they owed me change but that was irrelevant to me. come back this morning to pay the new 200 inspection fee so he can continue to check my window, oil change and to find out why my car dies when i turn the air on. he REFUSED to serve me. he said my car is too old (2003) and he did not want to work on it. i was shocked! so then i said, just an oil change he said no i don't want you as a customer!! im standing there in disbelief. it seems like he was mad that i didn't bring my car back after the new switch didnt work. mind you they removed it and no further work was done. just an oil change. i am so disappointed with the way i was treated!!!! dont come here !!!! read more

We called in advance to let them know our car had been recovered after it was stolen and that we would like to send it over to be fixed. They asked us to clean it out before we get it towed there (even though AAA told us the auto shop should take care of that). After cleaning it out then dropping it off, the next day they called and said "We don't know what's wrong with the car and you should take it to the dealer" After pressing for more answers, he finally admitted, "we don't want to work on it." There was no explanation on what was wrong with the car, even though we called in advance to let them know of our situation and they were fine with it. Extremely unprofessional to lie to potential customers, glad we did not get our car fixed with them because who knows how honest they would have been with the price. read more

I paid $154 to have my car checked out at Joe's before a long road trip. When I got in the car to come home, my car wouldn't start and a warning came on saying "Maintenance Required". I had to have my battery jumped and managed to make it home. I took the car back to Joe's and explained what happened. They reset the computer so the warning disappeared but soon afterward the battery died and AAA had to replace it at an exorbitant sum. I have had no other problems since then, which leads me to believe the battery was on its way out when I started my road trip. I would think this should have been detected when I took my car in the first time. read more

Just wanted to thank Joes auto shop for saving my week this week. My check engine light came on and I was nervous to take my car into just any shop. My uncle had suggested I bring my car into joes and I'm glad I did. They found out it was something wrong with my coolant thermostat. Long story short they had my car fixed in like 4 hours and did not try to scam me which I'm thankful for in this time of inflation. read more

My first time to go to Joe's Auto Center, very pleased with their work very fair with their pricing no up, charging on anything honest, family business. Thank you. read more

my husband brought my car here for an oil leak. We were happy that they were able to fix it fast and even added oil change for an extra fee. When we got the car back, we noticed that the leak has not stopped. My husband brought the car back in but this time they said, something else was causing the leak and it will cost another $3100 plus. It makes me wonder, did they even try to fix the problem in the first place? I recommeded this place to my dad since they were fast but I'm going to have to warn him instead not to trust this place. What a waste of money, the 2 year warranty is a joke if they're just going to turn around and say the problem is something else when they didnt fix the problem to begin with. read more

Brought my Lexus here last week and they fit me in right away. This is a family owned location and they are very sweet and fast service. I love that they are right by my office. read more

This is a great family owned and operated service shop. Honest, reliable, good quality work. Highly recommend.

Joe and his son Adam could not have been more polite and professional. I brought my 2002 Jaguar in and they diagnosed the issue quickly and affordably. When it looked like they would need the car for an extra day, they called me at home and offered a loaner car free of charge. Absolutely the best and I will gladly bring my car back the next time I need repairs. read more

I highly recommend Joe's Auto Center they are very fair with there pricing structure and get the job done quickly!!

Joe and his wife was very kind and fast to help me. I came in for a new tire since I had a flat. Joe took a look at it and came back in 15 min and said I didn't have to buy a new tire and they could just patch it up. He didn't even charge me for the patch work. Great service and kind people. Will definitely come back read more

Mr Joe treats his customers well that's why we always go to him for our automotive problems.

Helped me diagnose issues in my car to prepare it for sale. Recommended against a bunch of them to save me money and time. Joe managed everything personally. read more

Amazing! I had to have my car towed by AAA after being in Long Beach for only two months and not knowing anyone to give me a recommendation. The AAA operator suggested Joe's shop and I could not have been happier! Joe fixed my car's problem along with a variety of other minor issues (without additional charge) at a more than fair price! I highly recommend this kind man for everyone. read more

Top notch customer service. Treated with grace, and I left very satisfied. Came in because my car was making weird noises and fortunately I was helped by very knowledgeable staff. Pointed out the problem and advised me to treat my car with such and such. Very useful information provided, thought that was very sweet of them to take the time to tell me how to prevent this particular problem from occurring again. Charged me with a cheap diagnostics check rate and thought I got the best out of it. Most definitely will come back here, as I trust these people with my car. Highly highly recommend. read more

I was heading to Gall's next door and remembered that there was an auto mechanic center (Joe's) next door. PERFECT! I had a small nail in my tire (no leak) for about a week now and I thought I'd walk in and check if they fixed tires and patched/plugged them up also. The person (possibly the manager) up front was very welcoming. He was very service oriented and had me pull my car to the back. He mentioned that he'd have a mechanic take a look without a charge (what...did I hear wrong?). After it was all said and done, the mechanic (also nice) said the nail didn't puncture all the way through (I had new tires with long threads). No charge by Joe's for pulling the nail out of the tire, no charge on 10 mins worth of labor and no charge for filling air into the tire and reinstalling it for me. I didn't know FREE service still existed anymore. Joe's you're a 5-star shop in my books, you've won me over as a new customer! Thanks! read more

This is the best and only repair shop that everyone should go to. Forget all the other shops they are not worth the time or trouble. Joe is the man not only is he a good mechanic but he's a stand up guy. Do yourself a favor and come here for all your automotive repairs and preventative maintenance you will be happy you did!! Thanks again for the awesome service. 5 stars!!!!! read more

Joe's Auto Center - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

I recently took my SUV in to have some work completed by Joe and his team. First: I LOVE Joe and his hospitality. He is always so welcoming and listens to your concerns about your car and what you think the issue is. This is the second vehicle I've brought to him and will continue to always come back! Second: I needed some very in depth work on my SUV, especially with it being 4x4 I worry about what needs to be done on it and the cost, Joe was able to look under the vehicle with me and show me what I needed done and what else we should check to make sure we get everything taken care of but if it didn't need to be done, we wouldn't do it but we should at least check it and I appreciate that! Overall: The very detailed work Joe's team does, their communication, hospitality and just great experience, I will def be back and refer others! read more
