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

Joe's is the best mechanic I have ever had. I trust them entirely and price is more than fair. Joe is super helpful and I am so happy that I found this place. I never want to go anywhere else for my car read more

This is a Family owned business and they go out of their way to get things done right. We have always been happy taking our vehicles here for maintenance and repairs. True value pricing and truthful about cost estimates. read more

I thought I had an issue with my car. I'd been driving with the check engine light on for weeks when my car died at a traffic light. I got the car towed to Joe's expecting an expensive repair only to find out I ran out of gas. No charge for the inspection, no charge for the gas. Whew. Now if I can pay better attention to the gas gauge. I had another mechanical issue with my car which turned out to be my fuel pump. I had my car towed in to Joe's late in the day. Joe called me the next morning with the news and the quote which was reasonable. I said it was OK and he had the repair completed by the end of the day. It's good to have a mechanic who is honest and fair and who won't jack you around with unnecessary repairs. Joe goes out of his way to do a repair right and if he can't solve an issue with my car he tells me straight up. I'm sticking with Joe. read more

Please accept my deepest condolences for your tragic loss. You are kind, honest, hard-working, provide good customer service, and do good work. Thank you. read more

I took my car to the Mercedes dealer and was provided with a long list of things that it "needed". I then brought it to Joe, he inspected my car, told me some things on that list weren't necessary and pointed out the work that did need to be done. The dealer quoted me over the value of my car to fix it & Joe fixed it for a fraction of the cost originally quoted by the dealer. My car now rides very smooth (huge difference from how it felt before I took it to him) and feels reliable again. I am extremely satisfied and will definitely recommend Joe and his shop. In addition they're all very pleasant to work with; Adam provided quick updates and they worked fast on my car. Thank you! read more

Been taking our cars to Joe's Auto Center since 2002 when their shop was still on Long Beach Blvd. They are reliable, friendly, and gets the job done whether it's a break job or change oil. Our family is a repeat customer. read more

Joe is the only place I trust for my car. A lot of places will overcharge and make up things that your car "needs". You won't find that here. He's honest, reliable and will not try to make up things telling you your car needs this and that. He will tell you what your car actually needs and that's it. I've been going here for many years and will remain a reliable customer! read more

First-time customer of Joe's today. Overall, a very positive experience. I brought in my daughter's old Prius for a repair on its hybrid battery system (inverter pump needed to be replaced). Joe got the job done the same day, with great customer service. He was friendly and helpful, without any high-pressure nonsense. Of course, the proof will be in how things hold up now that the work is done, but based on what I've seen so far, I won't hesitate to bring my other vehicles to Joe when they need work. read more

I was quoted at $275 for a simple oil change on a car that is one year old with 3,000 miles on it. I know I look young and I'm a girl, but this is my 7th car and even the dealerships don't charge that much. How do you even justify that? Are you putting gold in my car? Originally I left a tip because I never received a response when I asked for a quote. Today, 25 DAYS LATER, I finally got a response, so thanks I guess? I did say that I needed it done in 2 weeks but they didn't seem to acknowledge how ridiculously late the response is. Needless to say, I already got it done elsewhere for 1/4 of that price. I see the words "affordable" being thrown around and "customer service" described in the affirmative, but that could not be farther away from the truth. After reading other negative reviews, I realized how closely my experience aligns with those. There's a special place for people who rip others off and I'll just leave this at that. read more

Joe was great. My daughter is a new driver and had some work that needed done. I was trying to teach her how to engage with a shop. Everyone here was on board. Excellent communication and all the customers that were their picking up were happy. This is now where all three of my daughters are going to go. Kind honest and I don't have to worry. Thank you! read more

I have a 1995 F150. I took it to Joes's. It was there for 2 days. When I picked it up he did not fix anything that was wrong. He did try, but could not do it. Did not charge me for what he tried to do & would not give a invoice of the things he tried to fix. NOT COOL. Yes he did not charge me, but he did work on my truck. read more

I went to Joe's based on the reviews he already had. I have a 2005 Ford Ranger and it was making noises. I brought the truck in at 8am and they said they would call me in a couple of hours. It took a little longer because they wanted to be thorough. Turns out it was the suspension and Joe said that he could have it repaired by the end of the day, which he did at a very reasonable cost. I could not be happier with the service I received. I will be going back to Joe's for all my vehicle maintenance. read more

Always great service. Always on time and priced right. Clean work. Had numerous vehicles repaired there over the years. The owner was a great guy and his family was a blessing. God rest their souls. read more

Great family run business. I had two separate issues on my high mileage Honda and Joe's Auto Center fixed them both. They replaced my ignition switch and drive belt and I feel confident driving my car again. Thank you! I'm a very satisfied customer. :) read more

Joe is honest and upfront about your car's repairs! He is efficient and gets the job done quickly!

I am so lucky to have Joe's Auto Center. I went there early today June 10, 2023 for oil change and check engine light to prepare it for smog. He took me home and when the car was ready he picked me up. Not only did he changed oil and the check engine light and other things but he went ahead to have it smog. His shop is not smog station but he went to a place to have it smog. And the prize I paid... very very reasonable. I love you Joe. I recommend him 1000%. read more

No one likes to visit the mechanic, but boy was I lucky to find Joe's Auto Center. Last night my car wouldn't start and I was in a panic thinking about how I was going to find a mechanic on a Saturday. I did some research and saw how many people recommend Joe's, so I decided to call first thing in the morning and test my luck. I called bright and early before they even opened and Vera took my call, assuring me that they'd be able to take a look at it and to come on by. Well just a few hours later, the car was repaired and I was on my merry way, full of gratitude! The process could not have been any more seamless than it was. From the initial phone call, to the drop off, to the speedy repair, everything was a breeze. Did I mention how kind everyone was? They even offered me a shuttle service home & back once my car was ready... unreal service! This is the true meaning of community: an honest family business that genuinely cares about their neighbors. I will absolutely be back! Thank you Joe and Vera- and the whole family. You all are wonderful people read more

Great service and nice people. Highly recommend! They serviced my Prius, gave me a ride home, and stayed open a little after they were suppose to close, so I could pick up my car. read more

I'd like to take a moment and review Joe's Auto Center. Yousef (Joe) provided great service. I had my Nissan Altima brought in and check the muffler/exhaust system to have it check. My first impression is as good as it gets as he did not charge me for the diagnostics since my car didn't get repaired. However, he offered multiple options where/how I can get my exhaust manifold fixed. He was extremely helpful and even showed me on my car what needed to be repaired. Thanks again Joe for the help. Definitely would come back here for other auto service/maintenance needs. read more

Let me start by saying I don't know enough about cars to know whether I'm being treated fairly or not. So I judge a mechanic based on how upfront they are and how honest they seem, and how warm they make me feel. I've been coming to Joe's Auto for many years. I love the service I get. Joe and his sons run a very honest and upfront auto shop. In the few years that I've been going, Joe has offered to bill me a month later when my car needed a lot of work done. Joe has lent me a computer device thingy over a weekend to help me pass my smog test. he has made recommendations but also listens and understands what my goals are with my car. (Just fix what I need to keep it running even while not fixing every last thing.) I recommend Joe and his family's auto shop to anybody who asks. I will continue going here for years to come. read more

Joe's Auto Center is Honest ! Took Car for service . Air conditioning in car was bad. Joe's Team took care of me. They told me they would take care of it, Very reliable People that's why We're coming back. read more

We've been going to Joe's Auto Center for many years. A friend recommended him to us, and I've been grateful ever since. It's like having a family member as a mechanic--I know that I'm NEVER being ripped off or taken advantage of. In fact, there have been multiple jobs that turned out to be so small that I wasn't even charged. What other mechanic does that? This YELP review is long overdue: I tell everyone I know to seek this place out because they do quality work that is fairly priced. read more

We needed a local place for a pre-inspection purchase of a used truck. We found this place online and hoped for the best. When we got there, everyone was super nice and told us that it would take about 2 hours to work the inspection in (no appts taken for pre-inspections, first come first serve basis.) We walked across the street and had a bite to eat and came back to it nearly finished (about an hour twenty) and had some questions. Joe was not only sincere and sweet, he also fixed the loose back tailgate (which he said was only missing a washer,) for free. We bought the truck. Honestly, in a world where you have to question everyone's intentions, I would not hesitate to refer my family and friends to Joe's establishment. read more

Omg omg omg I went on the next door app and ask for recommendations to get my car brakes done Audi a5 dealer wanted close to 800 just for the front. Well I took the advice from two people from next door and went to Joe's Auto shop and all I can say is. I WILL NOT BE GOING ANY WHERE ELSE......... 1. Clean shop 2. Joe stole my heart the nicest most professional man 3. His employees were outstanding ( they took me home and pick me up) 4. The price and the warranty TOP NOTCH 5. Chloe is happy (that's my car name) and her owner is very very HAPPY Check them out you want be disappointed . read more

Great local shop. They're always professional, honest, and guarantee their work. They offer Triple A discounts, and options when working with them. read more

I have used Joe many times in the past year. Just got my new Catalatyc Converter with him. He is a gem of a mechanic. If you ever need a mechanic that you can sincerley trust and not worry about foul play, Joe is your man. He always undersells me on what work I need to get done. They also offer shuttle service. I am posting this review because I know that there is nothing like finding an honest and trustworthy mechanic and hope this can help others. read more

Joe's Auto Center - Here is his business card. - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. When your car breaks down unexpectedly it is the most stressful thing, BUT, Joes Auto Center took care of me above and beyond. I had it towed to their shop at 1 in the morning and the same day he had diagnosed the problem, called me to let me know about it, fixed it and even had it washed for me! They have a customer for as long as I live in Long Beach. Thank you SO much, Joe! I will recommend you to everyone that needs car service!!!! ^^^ I still feel this way 2 years later! I've come to Joe for oil changes and anytime something makes a clink or clunk. Today my alternator died and I had to have my car towed. When the driver asked me which shop I wanted to go to even he was excited about Joe! "Joe, I love Joe, rest assured your car will be in good hands". So even though having car trouble is super stressful, having a car guy I can trust 100% eases that quite a bit. read more

Integrity, first-class service, trustful, undivided attention, personable, clean, well organized, fair pricing, Joe's Auto Center ranks tops in my beliefs on how an independent auto service company should serve its customers. read more

I sent my Jeep here based mostly on the reviews. There is no lie to these reviews. I will be returning for any repairs that both of my vehicles need in the future. I was shown the old parts and the damage with some education. I really appreciated that as my part was not supposed to fail this early in my vehicles life span. Honest service with honest prices. You won't have to second guess your repair here. read more

Joe's Auto CENTER is the best there is I always love referring different friends and family members they're like a family the best in Long Beach read more

Very professional and reasonably priced. Would recommend to all. He's been in Long Beach for many years. read more

Great service, fast turnaround. My car was making a troubling sound, brought it in for a diagnosis, and later that day it was fixed and ready for pickup. I expected a huge bill in the end but was pleasantly surprised. This shop is straightforward and honest. read more

Took my truck in to get fixed my first time here He does greet work reasonable price I recommend anyone to come here.

Since I moved to Long Beach Joe has serviced my car.... he's honest, reliable and reasonable. Usually women are taken advantage of because we know little or nothing about cars. Joe does a great job and does not invent other issues to charge u more or do more than what is needed. I recommend Joe's Auto Center to everyone. You won't be disappointed!! Just last week I drove in to his shop because my car was not starting in the mornings, I suspected the battery .... he immediately diagnosed it as a battery issue, tested it and determined I needed a new one since the one on my car was the original. He ordered a new battery and next day he installed it, he only charged me for the battery no LABOR charge.... that's unheard of.... I will continue to have Joe service my car. read more

My first time here at JOE'S AUTO CENTER and my experience was truly a 5 star experience. I went in to get a diagnostic test because my "check engine" light came on and I could not pass the dreaded "smog test". Thanks to the Honesty and Integrity of JOE'S AUTO CENTER all that was required was replacing a few fuses. ( the "check engine" light vanished) Joe DIDN'T CHARGE me for the diagnostic test, the fuses, time or labor... WOW, what an upstanding and ethical guy and business. From this point on, when I or any family member(or friend) have auto issues, I will not hesitate to recommend/or take my vehicle to JOE'S AUTO CENTER, a place that is Friendly, Ethical ,and Professional. Thank you again... Wish there were more JOE'S in the world!!! Gail....(a lifetime customer). read more

I would give this place 10 stars if I could! I drove down from LA and heard a sudden flapping sound. I found these guys on yelp and gave them a call. Spoke with Yousuf and he told me to come right in and he would take care of me and he sure did! Took me right in, offered me water and my car was ready to go in no time! Luckily it was an easy fix but would highly recommend this place for all car needs! read more

We have been going to this business for years. They are honest and do a wonderful job. I have never felt taken advantage of and believe they take pride in running a business you can trust. They call after evaluating what needs to be done. I have quite the commute from long beach to Irvine so my car needs to be dependable. I even bought windshield wipers from amazon and they installed them and didn't charge us. We will never use another auto repair business. read more

Excellent customer service and very trustworthy. They are never pushy and never tell you you need something that you dont! Been here twice already for small things, but most definitely will be back for any of my automotive needs. read more
