This is by far the best auto shop I've found in the High Desert! The pricing is very fair, and they genuinely try to work with you instead of just trying to sell you unnecessary repairs. The staff is honest, professional, and takes the time to explain what's going on with your vehicle. They don't jump to conclusions and really make an effort to diagnose the problem correctly. You can tell they actually care about their customers and take pride in their work. I can't say enough good things about this shop. If you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic in the High Desert, I highly recommend giving them a try. They've definitely earned a lifelong customer! read more

I highly recommend this business for sure very fair and definitely thorough thank you we appreciate it this business owner gets it humble. His righteous and he is very respectful. And very honest thank u read more

Let me start by saying Johnny, thank you. I went in for a quote over a year ago with an ac issue and you told me to worry about something far much more important, a radiator leak. Today, I went in and got the radiator changed out and had asked about the AC again, just curious what could be wrong and within minutes you were able to help me know what the problem was. Ontop of letting me know the issue, within the hour you had it repaired at a reasonable price. I highly recommend going to Johnnys to get your car needs fixed! He's a nice guy and very honest about what the issue is! read more

Replaced my water pump, thermostat, and knock sensor a month ago on my old mazda. Now everything is running smoothly. They also picked me up and dropped me off at home for no charge while they did the work :) read more

The owner and his son are smooth talkers, but the mechanics damage parts of your vehicle's engines to force you to come back and pay more money for them to repair the damaged. That is unethical. I have used their services for years and, each time, my car would constantly get damaged and I would have to constantly take it back to them for repairs, which cost a lot of money. Not, suspecting that Johnny's mechanics were purposely damaging my car, I evened took my vehicle to another mechanic, and I have not had to fix anything else on the car. read more

Great service and very professional! I needed a complete overhaul on my Transmission and other car repairs, and they did high-quality work. They were super friendly, but the job took longer than they initially thought. However, they kept me updated (Johnny-Owner) and Johnny Jr. (Office Manager) throughout the whole process, so I wasn't left wondering. The final price matched the estimate, which I truly appreciated! Will come back for future maintenance. I was truly blessed to find Johnny's Radiator and Auto Repair shop! read more

AVOID THIS PLACE!!!!! I have gone to this place for two of my cars for a while now and Johnny Jr. always had no problem taking my money. In 2021 I had him install a brand new AC compressor which had been working fine ever since. On 8/14/2024 I had him install a new serpentine belt I brought him. On 9/3/2024 my AC compressor that has been working ever since he installed it blew out. I noticed on 9/7/2024 as I was doing my own oil change that the serpentine belt was damaged in a way that was only done by the mechanic and not by the compressor or any pulley's. The mechanic had issues installing the new belt and did not use the proper tools to install it as I was next to the car while he was working on it, he pried it on with a long tool that was not the correct tool to use like an idler pulley tension tool. I contacted Johnny trying to resolve the issue and on 9/8/2024 he tells me to come into his shop and he would refund me $100 not the total I was asking for $133.92 as I was asking him to cover the labor charged plus the cost of the belt I bought, he also told me after this not to come to his shop anymore and that he did not want to do business with me anymore. I went in to collect the $100 he said he would give me and he went back on his word saying he would not and that his shop is not responsible because it was my serpentine belt and not his. He asked me to explain to him why I was asking for a refund and I stated to him the following: I came in with a working AC compressor and just wanted you to install a new serpentine belt and two weeks later the compressor blows and there is damage to the serpentine belt from how the mechanic installed it. The compressor is not seized and did not damage the belt, nor are there any wobbly pulley's that could have done the damage to the belt. I am now out a working compressor and a serpentine belt because of all this. Before I knew the belt was bad, I bought a new AC compressor kit and was going to have him install it, he quoted me $180 for AC service and $195 to install the new compressor, he told me it would be $898 to install the drier filter and an additional labor cost for the expansion valve which he did not say the price for, he told me just to install the compressor since I have a lifetime warranty on it, if the compressor goes again then I can install the drier filter. So he wanted to charge me $1,273 without installing the expansion valve. He wanted me to take the chance and if the compressor blows, he would charge me again for another install and say I needed to install the drier filter and if that wasn't it then the expansion valve too. I called around and found a shop that would install the whole AC kit with compressor, drier filter and expansion valve for $450 not including Freon. They even will be installing a new serpentine belt for the same price of $450 since I had to buy another one after I noticed it was damaged by his mechanic. The point of this review is for his shop to understand that even though they are just charging for labor, if they damage anything, they are liable and that a customer should not be looked at as the culprit or guilty because they bring their own parts. His ultimate decision to not refund anything and only offer for me to bring in another serpentine belt and he would install it left me no choice but to leave a review here for others to see. legally his company is responsible to replace my compressor, I never asked him to do that and was going to have him install another one but after noticing the damaged serpentine belt and him going back on his word... This is the result and I am upset I even had to do this and waste my time. I will attach pictures later when I have more time. read more

Johnny's Radiator - Auto Repair Near Me - Victorville, California

Radiator Rod out on my old jeep. Fast service had it done right in one hour . Works great ! I'll be back .

I was in need of a new radiator and thermostat. After shopping around and getting as much information as possible (cost and time frame on getting the work done) from different places, I felt the Best about Johnny's. From the time that I pulled up, I was greeted right away from one of the employees, he was really kind and helpful. I mentioned that my radiator was leaking and I asked if he could take a look. After he was done carefully going over everything he explained that radiator would need to be replaced and also recommended to replace the thermostat as well. Specially being over 100,000 miles. I was very relieved that they were able to complete all the work in one day, for this being my main transportation vehicle for work. It has been a full 2 weeks since they have completed all of the work and I have not had any issues. The owner was really nice and explained everything before hand and was very helpful in making sure it went as smooth as possible. I would recommend Johnny's and if I need any work done in the future I would definitely come back. read more

The only good experience I've ever had at a mechanic. Found out the guy before was trying to 3x me on the price and this guy did it for a fraction of the cost. Johnny was nice, honest and transparent. Work was done super fast and 0 complaints. read more

We are a one car family so having repairs made quickly and cost effectively is our first priority. We had two major problems involving our thermostat and air conditioning unit. I called and Johnny listened to my issues and immediately told me to bring my car in for the needed repairs. I left my Buick LaCrosse at the shop and was even given a ride home. The next morning Johnny called me and professionally told me exactly what needed to be done. Amazingly by 3:30 the same day I received a second call telling me to come back in as my thermostat was replaced and a complete air conditioning service was done. Johnny told me to come back in three days so he could make sure my air conditioning unit was working properly. I would have given him ten stars if I could. read more

My Subaru A/C was blowing warm air and wanting to take care of it before the summer hit, I mistakenly took it to a dealership where they completely ripped me off. With a still messed up A/C, I took it to Johnny's. He was upfront on everything; the price, the possible problems and the directions he'll take if something else showed up. I felt taken care of and trusted the work. It's been about a month since I took my car to Johnny's and it's still blowing the coldest air I felt! I highly recommend Johnny's Radiator. read more

Very unhappy. Moved to Northern California so can't go back to Johnny's. Radiator already has massive leak .... I have not even drove 1000 miles yet. Really sucks! read more

Took my 2013 Kia Rio here because it was over heating while it was in idle. Johnny is super friendly and honest which means a lot in the auto industry. Fair reasonable prices and had my car fixed and ready by the next morning (I had brought it in around 3pm the previous day) about 2 weeks later a headlight went out in the same car, changed the bulbs at Walmart but still wasn't working. Brought it by and they had it fixed in less than ten minutes. I will bring all my cars here for any trouble. Don't let the name fool you. I think the only thing they don't do here is tires but they fix everything else! I wish I'd known about this place years ago! They are always packed with customers coming in and out but the workers bust their butts in 100+ plus weather even to get your car fixed and back on the road asap! read more
