I went to Joe's for a brake repair. Markel was so nice, helpful and honest. I highly recommend them!

This is where I take my vehicles & highly recommend them. They've been in the community forever and you couldn't find a better person that runs that business read more

Let me tell you--my Dodge Charger R/T was more "meh" than "muscle" before Joe's Engine Repair got their hands greasy. The engine was on life support, coughing like a 90-year-old smoker. I was ready to say a few words and bury it behind the garage. But then--BOOM--enter Joe's Engine Repair like pit crew superheroes. These guys didn't just replace my engine; they resurrected it like Frankenstein with a V8. I swear the Charger growled at me when I turned the key. It's not just running--it's sprinting like it's late to a street race. Now every time I start up the Charger small children point, old men nod in respect, and bald eagles circle overhead. If your engine is making sad noises, do yourself a favor: take it to Joe's Engine Repair. read more

The service here is always great. Prices are reasonable and they aren't high pressure either. Markell, the owner is very smart and helpful. He's the only service writer that explains things in layman's terms about the repairs on my cars. read more

Amazing fast service with great knowledge. Merkel and Alan went above and beyond. Thank you

After 5 years of having a rattle in my suspension that would wake the dead, and after being to 4 other shops (SF bay area) and being told it's everything from breaks to bearings, the steering colum and the subframe mounts (i know they were full of it), I was about to just sell my car but figured I'd let one more shop have a good at it. I'm glad I did! They changed my struts and then found the problem... my swaybar end links needed to be greased. Hats off to joes for putting that rattle to bed! timley Repair AND a final price that made my wallet happy. I'll definitely come back for regular maintenance.... read more

Joe's Engine Repair is an honest business that you can trust. They won't upsell, won't undersell, they'll only let you know exactly what's needed to ensure reliability based on their decades worth of experience. The truck wasn't drivable - misfiring, overheating while idle, coolant leaking, milkshake oil, etc. It was confirmed that it needed a swap as practically every single engine-related error code showed up during inspection. We shopped around and got working on swapping the old 2018 for a new 2023 motor. They finished within a couple of days, and she's been driving beautifully ever since then. I highly recommend doing business with this company, but do recognize that they're a very small shop and are likely backed up year-round. Just know that the service is well worth the wait. read more

Great service. The guys here are awesome and happy to help which makes me feel good about seeking help for all my car needs. I had a starter installed about 9 months ago and it all of a sudden went out. These guys advocates for me and got it replaced. I've been coming here since they opened with the original owner being Joe. New owners are just as great. Two thumbs up. 5/28/19 update On 5/1/19 my ac stopped working on my Honda CRV on my way back from Vegas :( I wanted to fix this especially with summer coming along. After exploring my options as to what to do and where to fix the ac, I came to Joe's engine one again where I received the best price and customer service. After calling Honda in Temecula they even recommended that I take it to Joes engine. The confirmed that they had the best price and reaffirmed what Josh had already stated that I needed a whole new unit. These guys really come through. I wish them lots of success and I'm sure they will get it if they continue to provide exceptional customer service..:) Thank you guys read more

Excellent shop. I've used them many times and they do excellent work. Fair prices and superior work.

This place is great! Wonderful down to earth service. I have taken 2 cars in now, one of them mulitple times and have been very happy with all the work done so far. Very fair prices. The only issue I have is that they are not open weekends so you must get the work done during the week. Save yourself some money and avoid the dealerships. The small mom and pop shops are so much more personal and worth the consideration in my opinion. read more

Josh and Shane...... Mechanic dream team. New owners of this shop in the last at least 6 months. First off, they are able to fix the problem other shops cannot figure out. That is the biggest reason they are #1. Secondly, they were the only shop I have been to that helps get you a rental when your car has to be worked on, or wait for parts. Yes it can get hot in the front office from the sun shining thru the windows, but while waiting leave and they will call you when it ready. I have not enough words to describe the hardships I have been going thru to get my brakes fixed. But, Shane and Josh figured it out. Their prices a little high on the 1 hour shop fee of $100, but at least they figure out the issues no other shop can get done. They have my blessings as the new Angels Mechanics of Menifee. Update: After my brakes have now been fixed and paid for so far they are working still, but the normal new brakes smell. Good luck to the owners here. read more

Called Joe's engine repair to make an appointment for my 2017 Subaru Outback. Brought my vehicle in and upon explaining what was happening, they knew exactly what the problem might be and sure enough, they were spot on. I couldn't have asked for a better experience from a mechanic: courteous, honest and professional, quick appointment times available, work completed on time as promised and the cost was as expected. I will definitely be coming back when my vehicle is in need of its next repair. read more

There this morning dropped off for front brake. They work with you. Price they gave other the phone is same you pop in the shop. Due to mark of the vehicle is newer. Part is harder to get, yet they had tried and work on what they have to. Phone up before everything going on, not over changed. Willing to work and help. Happy to take my car for other service later if needed. Very easy to work with. And done fast, consider they have to get the part for vehicle. Thanks read more

This is my second visit to Joe's engine repair. The consistency at the shop is incredible. Not only are they extremely helpful, they take the time to listen to the customer. Thank you for making both of my visits easy. I also appreciate the reasonable prices and the gentleman that work there who are friendly and professional. Today Eric assisted me and he was able to fix the problem that I have been a nervous wreck about for quite some time. Eric has great customer service skills and is highly knowledgeable! You've definitely gained my business! read more

Thanks for the updated info. For some reason the other shop didn't identify other needed repairs and the vehicle has been running great (without leaks) for 8 months. I appreciate you offering an explanation for the much higher price though read more

We have been taking all of our cars to Joe's Engine for years I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. Their service is fast and friendly. They give helpful and honest advice and their work is excellent. Very reliable, which can be hard to find with mechanisms sometimes!! Family owned business right here in Menifee that I trust! read more

A recent road trip back from San Diego to Vegas (home) the Honda hit a cement brick on the 215 and rendered it un-drive able. Quickly on the Geico APP a tow was requested and with some cross referencing here, on Yelp! Joe's Engine Repair shop was selected for the repair. After coordinating alternative transportation home to Vegas, I relied on the consistent and thorough communication from Josh to assist in the repair. He was fantastic, sent pictures, helped assist with Geico and the claim, answered my many initial questions, he continued to maintain open communication as navigated the details of my retrieval upon completion, from out of state. Despite the stress ensued by a waiting game for the repair to be done, the quality of service made for a truly great experience. Josh even followed up after pick up to make sure I got home ok- it's the little things that always mean the most. read more

Brought my car for an oil change, tire rotation, front, front and rear brake job. found this spot from Yelp. I Was scared to start bringing in my car to a mom and pop shop. But brought it here and made me realize that the dealers sucks and will rape for your money. Best service and great staff read more

A mouse chewed through the engine wire cable harness of my wife's car. The dealership was not willing to repair it, only to replace it by keeping the car for 4 to 6 weeks in order to drop the engine to replace all of the engine wiring at a minimum quote of $7,500.00. I declined and instead took it to Joe's Engine Shop where I've had great work done previously. They very easily fully repaired the engine wire cable harness in one day, reset the engine diagnostics and tested it. Everything was back to normal in one day at a cost of under $500!!! Service Rep Marquel provided a sound technique for preventing mice from entering the engine compartment in the future. As always, thanks you guys for the great work! read more

This place is amazing. Honest and reliable work. I am so grateful and appreciative to these guys. Thank you so very much.

These guys stand behind their work; I recently had an emergency repair done and when the car started giving me problems they took the time to check the car again. Shout out to Markell and Frank! read more

Amazing service & quick repairs. Honest shop is hard to find , they didn't disappoint. Would recommend to anyone.

Best service and great prices. My All-Time GoTo mechanic! Markel and the team will get it done for you.

Had my wife's 2014 Kia Optima engine replaced by Joes Engine Repair and the car is running great! No I'm taking my airport commuter car to them to repair a P420 code issue thats caused it to fail smog. Highly recommend. read more

These fine, young men are so earnest, respectful and sheer genius when it comes to itemizing repair costs (Shane - easy to work with) and Josh - well, he's the Einstein of car repair. Let's not forget 'Soda-Pop' and the other young mechanic in the shop (who's name I didn't get). Super experience - AND they fixed my beloved, ratty, 2004 Ford Focus - resuscitated the rear wheel bearings, walking me through the valley of repair costs the entire time. PLUS, i got to work out at World Gym next door while they worked. These pros eliminated the fear on two counts - 1 - that the repair would escalate (it didn't); 2 - the costs. Let me just say that the repair was worth every budgeted penny - no surprises, no hemming and hawing, just straightforward, supreme professionalism. Thanks, Guys. Lyn read more

Josh and his crew have always treated me well. I've got a 2001 F150 old truck that is still running strong thanks to them. I'm always able to drop it off and they provide an uber/lyft home for me. Very convenient, very fast and very friendly. read more

This is probably the most honest car repair business I have been to. From beginning to end of my car engine issue they were top notch. Josh and Shane kept me informed every step of the way. Shane was knowledge and took the time to explain the process. He was polite and professional. I have been telling everyone about their service. If you are in need of your car being taken care of with love, honor and respect, their your guys! You won't regret it! Great job..Joes Engine Repair! You Rock!!! read more

One of the most friendliest fastest most efficient shop I've ever taken my vehicles to. The staff are all friendly and very informative.

Took my car in to get the oil pan gasket replaced, upon inspection they recommended replacing all timing seals, timing belt, timing sprocket and crank position sensor and I agreed and got my car back. After driving it a couple days I have to pull over because I notice my engine is on the verge to of overheating. Under the hood there's a tiny pinhole leak in one of the coolant hoses, and I know this was not there before :(. I called them and let them know, they fixed it for me and offered to pay for the hose which was about $18, and I still had to pay $60 for labor after spending $1200 (which is fine) on the other repairs. I really do appreciate all their work and they have great service but just confused on why I was charged for the labor :/ read more

I'm sure you've heard the saying that having a mechanic's license is like having a license to steal. BUT, for people who have a serious trust issue with mechanics, Joe's Engine Repair will be a unique exception! Recently, my girlfriend purchased a convertible Lexus at a used car lot in Los Angeles. On her way home, the car overheated. The L.A. mechanic, who repaired her water pump gave her a laundry list of additional items that needed repairs... Her sticker shock was an estimate of over $2,500! Luckily, she decided to drive home to seek a second opinion. The next day, a friend recommended that she call Joe's Engine Repair. She needed an Asian engine repair specialist and was pleased when they quoted her nearly half the cost! They gave her a 100k service, tune-up, new spark plugs, tension belts, timing belts and struts, and incredibly, they didn't skimp on car parts. They only installed Lexus certified parts. Now, her Lexus drives like a Champ! Normally, I like to go with female family members to mechanic shops. From experience, I have found that many mechanics like to take advantage of women. They assume that they know nothing about cars. But, I can happily say that in this case, Joe's mechanics were honest. They were also very patient with her explaining what needed to be repaired. If you're looking for reliable customer service and a fast turnaround, give these guys a try! On top of it, who doesn't want to work with a family-owned, female-friendly business? read more

WOW! This place is Awesome! I was referred by the tow truck driver who towed my van when the alternator went out. I took my chances and I'm so glad I did. Shane was wonderful and excellent customer service! He spent a lot of time with me on the phone about my vehicle, and in the end I found out it was covered under honda warranty. So I never actually had any work done but I am definitely coming back here in the future! Thanks Shane for your honesty and integrity! read more

I needed a part changed, and although it was a simple unscrew one, screw in the new one, it was under the car and I couldn't reach it. So I came here after they were recommended on social media. They gave me a reasonably fair price and it was done in about 10 minutes. Since that went well I came back when I needed more extensive work done. I trusted him (Paul?) when he gave me the estimate and said it was the lowest I was going to find. So I let them do the work, and while waiting, he kept saying what a great deal I was getting. When I decided to post a review, I checked with some other well recommended places to see how great of a deal I got so I could post it. As it turned out, this great deal was $100 higher than everywhere else I checked. And some of those places were known to be on the high end. I'm on an extremely tight budget, and $100 is a huge deal for me. I had to stop going to physical therapy to afford to fix my car. That $100 dollars would have made a difference, and I would have been able to go to a few more sessions. I'm very disappointed that he could continue to tell me how lucky I was to get such a great deal, while knowing it wasn't true. Shame on them for taking advantage or an older person. I gave them two stars for getting the work done, even though I had to come back to have them adjust what they had just fixed. My advice is to check around on the price no matter how great of a deal they tell you it is. read more

We came across Joe's Small Engine Repair after reading countless positive reviews on several sites. Being new to the area, we didn't have the luxury of knowing folks personally to get a recommendation for a small engine repair shop. The reviews that brought us to Joe did not fail us. Joe quickly took our call and set us up with a time for drop off of our lawn mower and pressure washer. He was honest and did not charge us for our equipment when it only needed to be cleaned up from the oil spilling out of both machines during our move to the area. Joe is personable and honest and I'm grateful to have come across a small local business owner that is dependable, honest, and lives in my own community. I look forward to recommending him to those who may need his services and will continue to use him for maintenance on our equipment and for any repairs we may need in the future. read more
