Awesome service and best prices. I was able to drop early and was ready in an hour. John showed me the new rear shocks and the old ones....he also pointed out that the old ones had fluids leaking. Highly recommend. read more

My car had some weird noises and was shaking when I would come to a stop. John reached out to me when I needed a mechanic ASAP. He's reliable and communication is A1, also would give you a breakdown of whatever you need done. Car is running great now and my issues have been resolved. Would definitely come back if I have any other issues. read more

John was a life saver! My car was dead and so it was super clutch that he was able to come and provide the service. He walked me through the issues my alternator and coolant were having and the solutions that he would implement. His quotes were super fair and the service was also expedient. He was recommended to me by a family member and I will definitely be forwarding the recommendation. Thanks so much John. read more

My car was broken but always on time with getting the problems done and spent time explaining what was going on and going the extra mile to make sure there wasn't any other problems read more

John and his buddy are honest, friendly, reliable, and fairly priced. My son had a bad alternator and was a bit nervous driving it over to the shop. John offered to pick him up if the car didn't make it. I then asked John to change the front struts. Unfortunately the new part was defective and was making noise. John took it under warranty and changed the whole thing twice (we tried the same brand and it was still squeaking or he changed it to another brand that finally resolved it) to make sure the struts didn't make any noise. It was a lot of rework for John but he never complained or made me feel like I was burdening him. I greatly appreciate his professionalism to make sure the job is done right. John has also helped my friend change his catalytic converter and installed my dashcam (front and back facing) by hiding the wires nearly in doors. I highly recommend John for all your auto work. read more

John was great to diagnose and fixed the issue. Had a failing alternator and needed it fix. Both the price and service was top notch. Product was OEM as well. read more

My husband's truck wouldn't start and had a feeling it would be the fuel pump or spark plug. John totally saved us time by coming to our house and looking at our car and confirmed it was the fuel pump. He came over on 1/13 and we agreed with the cost and he fixed our car today 1/14 (less than 24 hours it was fixed). His prices are very reasonable (our friend who lives up in LA who fixes cars confirmed his prices are fair and reasonable). Totally acknowledgeable. Definitely will be using his services when needed. read more

I have seen John for multiple car issues and he is always able to fit me into his schedule in a timely manner! Amazing service!!!! And his prices are very reasonable and he doesn't try to upsell you!! I've had my shock absorbers replaced, oil changed, wipers changed and even the wires replaced because of mice chewing on them. Whenever, I'm in doubt, I always give him a call! read more

I'm VERY HAPPY with my experience here and I highly recommend this shop for all of your auto mechanic needs. Great value, great service, and I was very impressed from start to finish. I needed a lot of work done and the quote was a little complicated, but John's communication was quick and professional from start to finish. The price was very competitive and there were no hidden charges or late changes trying to inflate the price like some other mechanics have tired in the past. The work was high quality, performed quickly, and my car is now running great! A+++ read more

My car broke down in the freeway. Call him. He came to my place in 20". Turn out i need to replace my water pump. Thumb up for him. Quick service with affordable price. That's all i need for my trusted mechanic. read more

If I could give a higher rating, I would! John is responsive, professional, and trustworthy. His rates are fair, and he uses only the most durable replacement parts. John replaced my front brake pads and rotors, as well as a synthetic oil change. He will tell you to go elsewhere for tire rotations, as he lacks the right balancing equipment. I am so happy to have found an honest, and skillled mechanic. I would not hesitate going back to John's. read more

I brought in my 2003 bmw Z4 as one day it was rattling heavily in the back side after a day of casual driving. I heard from a friend that this is a fast and affordable place so I tried it out. John took a quick look and realized that it was an improper installation of a rear strut mount. He got the right parts to fix future issues on the other mount and fixed my car within hours. He knew what he was doing and got me in and out. Friendly, fast and genuine guy. Definitely will come back to him if there are any issues in the future. read more

John did a fantastic job with my BMW. He diagnosed the issues very quickly and gave me a clear breakdown of everything that had to be done, as well as things he recommended be done, so that I could make the ultimate decisions. He took photos of the parts he replaced and explained very clearly what he was doing, which is far more than I could ever have expected from a mechanic. I could not speak more highly of him. Very Professional. read more

John was super friendly, responsive, and knowledgeable when helping me with my car. I had my brakes changed on my Honda fit, and he let me know what the pricing would be up front with different choices on the parts. He did not push any unnecessary repairs, and texted me pictures as he was doing the work to let me see the condition of the old parts. I will definitely be coming back again in the future for any of my cars! read more

Great service, affordable price, quick response and only suggest what my car really needs. Highly recommended!

John's eighty 5-star reviews, including mine today, speaks of how great of a mechanic he is. A knowledgeable and honest mechanic is a necessity. He is all that.

His pricing is also one of the best. read more

I initially asked for a quote through Yelp to get a diagnosis for my A/c and I received a prompt response with all the info I needed. He was able to get a better understanding of why my A/c wasn't working for my Prius and fixed it the same day. Very transparent pricing and affordable. Support this local business. Definitely recommend! read more

John is very friendly and reliable. The service was quick and the price was reasonable. Definitely my go-to spot in the future.

I needed an urgent fix on my coolant because i had somewhere important to be the next day and hau nam fixed my car in a really fast and professional manner. Definately coming back. Thanks bro!! read more

Professional, prompt correspondence with excellent communication. Responded quickly and thoroughly to any questions I asked him

I had ordered multiple aftermarket bushings and suspension parts and I needed to find someone to install them. When I approached John about the parts, he asked me to come up to his shop so that he could see exactly which parts belonged where prior to taking on the job. Later that night, he gave me a quote that blew all the other quotes that I had out of the water. There was an incident where he explained to me that my bushings were REALLY stuck in both lower control arms and his press was not strong enough to push it out. He told me that he would go to one of the other shops and ask to use their press, which was bigger than his, and that ended up doing the job. The fact that he was willing to go the extra mile to satisfy me, as a customer, made me really appreciate him for his work. I also told him about my bucket seat, he offered to install that for me as well, and thank goodness he did because he had to make modifications to it to make it fit. If I would have done it by myself, I would not have known what to do. When I had went in to get my alignment done elsewhere, they said that there was an issue with my camber arms, so when I brought it up to John, he gave me a time to show up that day and he redid the job quickly and I was able to get my alignment in later that same day as well. John is very communicative through text as he is working on your car by sending photos of what exactly it is he would be working on the that time. read more

Great work. Reliable and great communication. Will definitely bring my cars to him in the future.

John was quick to respond with the best estimate to upgrade my front suspension. He sends you pictures of the progress which is really cool. He was very helpful and now the car drives great! read more

Last time I went to get my oil changed, they said that my oil drain plug needed to get fixed and then the next day my AC broke! Imagine driving through San Diego from 8 to 5 pm and having no AC! I contacted John on Wednesday and he fit me in three days later! Thirty minutes before my appointment, I texted him to let him know I was coming. I arrived and he came out to greet me, asked me again what I wanted out of the appointment, and then we left. He calls to update me about the process of my car and to give me a price before he conducts any work. **I love that he checked my whole car and respected what I wanted and only worked on things I wanted. The price was reasonable and in the mean time, John gave me lots of tips about my car and I learned a lot about how to better take care of it! So nice to have AC again and I will go back another day to get my oil drain plug replaced (I didn't have time). 15/10 recommend! read more

Connected with John through Yelp, he responded within 10 minutes. Just got my 2010 Honda Accord serviced (120K schedule) and was very pleased with the work. OEM parts he preordered for me were high quality parts that come with extra warranty. Pricing was very consistent with upfront quote, no hidden fees or any hassle of trying to charge for more work that weren't necessary. Alerted me to potential areas of oil leaks that were not urgent to replace but something to be attentive to for future repairs. This was my first time working with John and am guaranteed to be a return customer. Highly recommend this place! read more

My car been to the shop multiple times and they could not find out why my car would not start. John is great he came to my house took a look and found out the problem in a few minutes. The very next day he ordered the part and fixed my car and now it is running great. He is very honest and the price is very reasonable and save me so much money compared to the price quote the shop was giving me and they didn't know what was wrong supposedly. He told me what I may need in the future and what is important. I will only have John fix my car in the future read more

I needed someone to refer my boyfriend to in order to fix the car's ac. Everyone that responded couldn't take me in until John responded saying an ac inspection would be $60 and would be credited back to me once fixed. He kept his word from Saturday morning and I can gladly say that we've been able to resolve the issue not having cool air blow into our ac today. Not only did John fix our ac but he also looked at other issues with the car. My boyfriend came back to tell me that he was a good person and that he would be going back to him. We had multiple walk-ins but we felt that we can trust John because he was communicative, honest and overall a good person. Thanks John for taking care of our red jetta. read more

John was great! My catalytic converter was stolen. I went through my insurance and he submitted everything required without any issues. He communicated with me with pictures and txt.

John is a very nice and responsive man. I suspect my car has coolant leak problem. He helps me to check it thoroughly. I recommend his service definitely. read more

Had to get new struts on my Prius. John got me in within a couple days, and I paid less than what the dealer wanted. I am particular about the parts that go on my car and wanted to make sure that they were approved Toyota products. He talked to me about the parts and when I got there he showed all the new parts to be installed. Found a small leak on the sway link cables and took care of replacing those while my car was there for the day. He answers his phone, takes photos of the parts, and explains everything in detail. He's a super nice and professional mechanic. My car was completed when promised and have had no issues with any of the repairs. read more

John is very experienced and knowledgeable in his craft. The services was great and he is on time. The price is the best
