    AAA+++ Nowadays who knows where to go, time and money are never abundant, the wrong choice can diminish both. Pleased to share with anyone my recent and first experience at Johns Automotive. My 2015 Chevy Traverse would not cool and engine warning Overheat with temperature guage at the top end, i was fairly certain it was a failed water pump, we ha discussed over the phone the remedy and the tentative cost. I had AAA tow it and leave at the shop, next morning John contacted and informed me it was actually an intermediary component of the cooling system and not the water pump. The final cost result was nearly $200 less than i was already prepared to spend. His waiting area for customers has a great air conditioner nice and cool. As a maner of practice I only deal with/work with the best, and John and his skilled team of mechanic/technicians are just that. in the event that i need another major or minor service, i wouldn't hesitate to travel even 50 miles or more for the peace of mind. i could go on and on but ill just tell you this business is exemplary of a well run trustworthy automotive repair shop.

    Engine bay after the unknown fire damage

    CAR OWNERS BEWARE STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHOP My car was destroyed by the mechanics at John's Automotive. No real explanation was given to me or my wife by the owner John or any of the mechanics of how or what caused the fire. This happened on 11/12/23. I took our 2011 Cadillac SRX after the check engine light came on for a StabiliTrac warning. Per John the owner, the issue was the fuel injectors. The owner John called me about a week later after having my car in his shop, to apologize because my car caught on fire. Again no real explanation on how it started or what caused the fire, but my vehicle is a total loss. I had to deal with my own insurance and file a claim, while also having to worry about finding a means of transportation for my wife and 2 children. The mechanics insurance company has not done much, because they are waiting on my insurance to basically payout the vehicle. Since then I have not heard back from John asking how we are or how the claim is going, but then again I shouldn't expect A+ service from a 1/2 star location. I will never take any of my vehicles to this location ever again, even if I was stranded outside in front of his shop. I recommend you stay away from this shop, unless you want to pay for incompetent service and possibly lose your vehicle? After I shared my experience with friends and neighbors, I heard that they had a terrible experience with the same shop. I honestly only went to this shop because it's close to my home. All I can say now is what a costly and terrible mistake I made. Incompetent mechanics ruined my wife's car and have caused us nothing but headaches.

    My car is back in tip top shape

    Not enough kind words in the English language to describe the service level that John provides. He explained everything he was going to do, advised me on future service items to keep an eye on. Opened the hood and explained everything to me. I really appreciated how respectful he was while he educated me on my Hyundai Santa Fe. Reasonable fees and timely service. When your car needs some love, trust John to bring it back to life better than ever!

    This guy is a scam artist a $200 job he charge my wife $700 plus $95 diagnostics when we knew the problem we told him he told us

    John's is a place I would ALWAYS take my vehicle. I will admit his hourly rate is a bit high for me but the quality of his work is worth it.

He took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all of my questions so I could feel fully confident moving forward. I was in and out very quickly, the work was done perfectly, and the pricing was fair. What really stood out was his honesty. After replacing my tires, he checked to see if I needed an alignment. He told me I did not need one and that he did not want to waste my money, even though he easily could have charged me for it. That level of integrity is rare. This is exactly why I am writing this review. Sammy truly deserves the credit. I will always come back here for tires and any mechanical work.

In addition to a 3 hour delay when I've shown up instead of professional greeting I was met with aggression and quoted 30% higher than the quote that was given in the morning and 2 times prior over the phone, when I said this information should've been shared over the phone an hour ago, I was told that they wouldn't work on my car at all because they didn't like how I spoke to them, I was respectful and kept a professional tone the entire time. Wasted 3 hours of my life and treated with disrespect and deceit. This is my experience, I'd give 0 stars if I could. I'll happily take my business elsewhere.

I went in for transmission fluid change earlier in February in my Toyota Camry 2018. I bought OEM Toyota transmission fluid and asked Joe to help do drain and fill.The drain and fill was completed. After that there was a rough driving issues started. I went back to show my car to joe and he drove the car he told me he don't see any issues. I wanted him to check transmission fluid port on if there is low transmission fluid he didn't agree and told me I might be overthinking. I went to different mechanic in April and he checked. I paid $100 to reopen the port for transmission fluid and what we saw was no fluid came out from the primary port. He added 0.5 quarters left. The issues I have had for rough idle and need to have higher RPM on slope went away completely.According to him you have to keep the car running when you drain the fluid and you need to have it at the right temperature he said the drain and fill wasn't done correctly that's why there was still room for fluid. The viscosity of the fluid makes a difference in how much you can fill and drain. He double checked for leakage and there were no leaks either. When I went to joe and asked about don't you have to keep car warm to see if temperature is right? He said you only do it when there is a leak. I don't think Joe knew enough about mechanics of New car. I wasn't overthinking when I went to ask Joe for help and asked to recheck the transmission fluid. I paid $260 for labor only( $160 to Joe and $100 to another mechanic) for same job. It's really absurd. Overall this could have damaged my transmission. I think for future the customer advise should be taken seriously. I know my car well so I know when it's not acting good. I have been driving it from 10 years.
