Honest Mechanic's Shop--This shop is completely honest. I bring both of my cars there and I drive from Glendora to Lake Elsinore because this is the only shop I can go to and expect honesty. I have gotten quotes elsewhere and then brought my cars to Luke and found out the quotes were lies. These people are decent, they are honest, and they are very professional. The work is good. They also tell me what is coming up for repairs down the road without trying to scare me or lie to me. They are so awesome! They even delivered my car and I am over 40 minutes away! I can't tell you how good they are. read more

Let me start with the customer service....impeccable. My husband spoke to Luke to have AC service done on my daughter's van who is a disabled Vet. They were booked and we called a few weeks later. They had availability and Luke was so informative, personable, cool and kind. We were given a date for service and to our surprised it was fixed in two day!!!!! The quality of work was worth the value. We will be returning for all of our car service needs. Give them a visit you will not be disappointed! read more

I drove here from Temecula to get my front and rear brakes done. I called ahead and made an appointment over the phone with Luke. His customer service on the phone was great, and my overall experience exceeded my expectations. This shop goes above and beyond and truly cares for the people walking through the door. It is very rare that people are passionate and care so much about their job, I will continue to bring my car back here and I 100% recommend this place to everybody! read more

refrained from mentioning that parts being used were from autozone. people shouldn't assume, this your whole business, TELL people what they are getting. $600 for new brakes and 4 more weeks of squeaking and grinding on those Autozone breaks Eric and his guys "set up" for me and found non replaced Rotors as well!! freaking nice guys!! Just had to pay $700 more to get real Hyundai brakes from Hyundai and get Eric's cheap $250 Autozone brakes off. Thanks for charging me for rotors but not changing them dude. Do not take your car here as Eric and his guys are not transparent.

Best business in town!! Such great people who work here- reliable, trustworthy, friendly I only take my car here to get fixed now! Check them out read more

I brought my Lexus LS460 here for a tune-up, oil change, and to see why my check engine light was on. They fixed a sensor, did all the work, and it cost way less than other shops in the area. I recommended them to the rest of my family and so far everyone's been happy with their work. They never tried to oversell us on extra work that was unnecessary, but were just honest about what the cars needed, how serious the issues were, what could wait, and what needed to be done right away. read more

Went in to have my struts replaced they finished so fast I couldn't believe it. Other mechanics I called were charging me like $700 to replace but Johnson Auto repair did for $300 and they did an amazing job and they were fast. Definitely coming back in the future for my car needs and recommending to my family and friends. They don't try to screw you over like other places. read more

Thank you for the quick turnaround on installing my water pump and thermostat! You guys are awesome!

They completed a lot of maintenance I was overdue for, they did great work. When I called them to make an appointment they asked if I could bring it the next day. Even though there was a lot of work done, they had it completed by the end of that same day. Also, pricing is very reasonable and no pressure for any type of repairs they may recommend. Wonderful with customer service. I consider them our family's first choice for ato care. Karen read more

Excellent service highly recommend them!! My daughter brought her car in they adhered to the scheduled time. If was quickly diagnosed and ready later in the day. The price was fair. read more

Looking for a good car mechanic? Look no more. Honest prices, excellent customer service. With so many shops in the IE it's hard to pick and find a good shop. I've taken my truck to this shop a couple times and will continue to as well. These guys know what their doing and will give you awesome service. Oh and the washing area is pretty cool too. Leather couches and a pool table Can't thank the guys here enough for all their hard and honest work read more

When was the last time you felt good about the service you received from and auto shop .... you will if you go here. Great personality, quick service, fair prices, honest automotive opinions. My son blew both of the belts on his car on the way to work. He happens to work in the same complex as this shop. So, he ended up taking his car here out of necessity ... amazing how things can work out for the best!! read more

All basically get all my work done here now. Eric and Matthew always set me up right and the labor usually doesn't take too long. Highly recommend these guys for honest work! read more

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE I took my truck to get the driver side window fixed. The window fell into the door. Eric said he could get it fixed. The door lock was also a problem. When I picked up the truck, Eric had done a temporary fix on the window and explained the glass had to be replaced so he did not charge me. I drove home and noticed the low fuel light, the engine light were on , the gas tank meter and my dome lights were also not working. I called him but the shop was closed on Sunday. I left a message. I called and took the truck in. When I called, he said he could not fix it. He suggested I take the truck to the dealer and get it fixed. Using the dealer as a way out, because the dealer is not going to care who done what to the truck, he said if it was something he did, he would pay the bill. Eric knew there were no issues before he laid hands on the truck. He also had done oil leaks fixes on my Jetta anthe car is now leaking. I am posting pictures and videos to show how his character changes once he decides to not respond for his bad work. It should be noted, I offered to pay him for the temporary fix on the truck's window but knowing he had broken my and caused problems to my truck's electrical, he declined perhaps thinking I would just let it go. I mention it because it speaks of my character, I would not invent and he drove the truck and did not see any other issues before he worked on it when he drove the truck into the shop from the parking lot to work on it (because there were no lights, engine or low fuel) and saw them after when he drove the truck out of the shop and to the parking area but did not tell me. I also found schematics he had printed and left in the truck. He played with the relays and tried to do things guessing but did not fix what he had broken. Now, in his shop, there are multiple engine lights on adds that state he fixes then but he is over his head in electrical. I would not have him or trust him or his shop to get any work done. Hopefully, this won't happen to you. Shop around, there are other shops. He is also rude once he cannot fix something although he is nice when things go right. He is under qualified and does not assume responsibility. Take my experience and Do not fall for his nice demeanor when he is first seeing you, you will regret it when you find out the hard way that he will treat you as he did me. Take no chances. This morning a new issue that proves this man is not honest. The high beams on the passenger side work but not on low beams. Which means he got lost tinkering with the relays. He left a relay diagram inside the truck. Once he could not fix it, he gave up. read more

Asked the owner "Eric" if they could do complete Engine Swap from a crate delivery. He Agreed, and add the extra's that the factory crate motor didn't have. His Mechanic did a great job. Even though the schedule took a little longer. It was important that it was done right. I would be back for future repairs. Thanks Again, Tim read more

Nothing but the run around with this guy. 7 days later multiple conversation and still, nothing but lies. To all, I would avoid this mechanic!! read more

Took my car to johnsons auto to get fixed because it was not going over 40mph. will said it was the catalytic converter. After replacing it for $2000 it still did not work. Called back to tell them and they said they would send a tow truck the truck never came. Then Eric called and said he would do a flush Eric called back to say he did The flush and that was not the problem when I showed up to the shop Eric was not there according to his team they never touched the car the car has been sitting there when i.called Eric to confront him he stated he could not all of a sudden find the Invoice or the codes he checked for and that he deleted it car is also worse now than what it was before I dropped it off now he is saying it is the transmission beware!! They only want your money, will damage your car and lie to you. Other customers I know have had similar issues with Eric and Will read more

I've been taking my car to Eric for almost 15 years. He is the only guy I trust to touch my cars. He is super reliable and honest. He also got the best prices around. read more

Came in on the other day was quoted 194$ for Friday to put my catalytic converter I just paid 1200$ for from Honda so here comes Friday 9 o clock I walk in cat in hand ready to get it put on for 200$ well he tells me the guy that did the quote was wrong proceeds too tell me it's 496$ I'm like nope I'll take my business elsewhere dude in freak panic tells me I'll do it for 250$ I'm like naw bro I walk out dude chases me out the door and is literally begging me I'm like no don't bother me this guy has the audacity to call me 15 mins later saying we will make it right I don't care I don't want your business I found a honest person who did the work in a hour and a half for half the price I left a soda in my cup holder it wasn't even flat before he got done that's how quick he did it swap my cat connected to my manifold but after my terrible experience If you care about your vehicle I would take it somewhere else along with your money I'm being a hundred percent honest do not recommend at all seriously don't waste your time or money lol read more

I literally can't say enough about the owner of Johnson's Mobile and Store-Front Auto Service station in Lake Elsinore. My a/c went out on my car slowly over the last three years and I have to take some sick pets to the vet more frequently now and it's much too hot in the summer for them and myself without the a/c. My car is 28 years old but I bought it brand new, so it's "my baby." They came out and I told them I had the a/c converted about 10 years ago, so they went and got the parts for the R134 (I think that's what it is now). Well, I mistook it for my Corvette I sold and I apologized and felt horrible! He had to go get another part and it was hot as heck out. He came back and there were other issues, and the bottom line is--I can't remember the last time I called a company and they went SO out of their way to help me and fixed my a/c!!! They spent hours fixing what I thought would have been a quick fix. I still feel horrible about it. He told me the compressor might only last another year, but my 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse hasn't given up on me and I'm going to hang in there as long as we can. So I hope they make compressors when it finally needs one. I have to tell you, the price was amazing! I even told him to charge me more because I screwed up and he wouldn't. Wow. Seriously honest mechanics and I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you for being such a great company and honorable/great man! God Bless you and your family :) read more

I had taken my car to a different shop for an oil change (first mistake) and they messed up my oil pan and plug. I brought it back to the other shop again (second mistake)and they couldn't fix what damage they had done and my car that never leaked oil was now leaking like a civ. Thankfully my boyfriend knew of this place and sent me there. Eric and the entire staff took excellent care of me, saved my oil pan and were able to repair it (thank you so much for that!!) And had me out of there on my way. I truly appreciate the honest and hard work. It's great to know these guys not only do a great job at their work and keeping their customers happy but it's also awesome that they are a loyal automotive shop. Aside from the great experience their waiting room is cool too, thanks again guys!! :) read more

Saw Eric today on 2 of our vehicles and he really did a great job at a reasonable price (under 100.00 for 2 oil changes, air-filter, check engine light and Mini "S" model inspection) also gave us an estimate of things that could be done at our discretion. (No pressure) Our son referred us here as well after having a great experience with his own car. We have a family worth of cars that we fully intend on using his shop for as we feel that he will work out great for our all our business. He is reasonable and absolutely went above and beyond today to help us. Thank you Eric! Btw ...I should also point out that he also spent the time to inform us about our type of vehicle and what could go wrong, how to prevent it, and how much it will be when it needs to be fixed. Easy to talk to and a big help at seeing the whole picture with our vehicles. Thank you! We will be back!! read more

By far the worst automotive repair experience I've ever had in my life. Eric Johnson will promise you the world and deliver a bag of dogshit. I personally dealt with him for over 6 months trying to get an engine put into my suburban and he failed to deliver the whole time. He put multiple engines in the vehicle and we had multiple problems every time most of the problems were install errors. I hate to say it I know the dealers are expensive but it's a lot cheaper than dealing with this shop. I wound up taking mine to a different shop and they got it right the first time without leaving the main ground on the firewall completely loose and trying to start my vehicle on fire. I really wish you would let me post this with 0 Stars read more

I've been in Lake Elsinore for the last 4 years, and have never taken my car to anyone else upon moving here. The shop is centrally located in the industrial are right off of the 15 freeway, and is easy to find. Eric (Owner) is an amazing mechanic and his staff knows what they're doing and fast as well. I don't know about you, but it's always difficult finding TRUSTWORTHY mechanics who are knowledgeable. I highly recommend coming here and getting your automotive needs met and taken care of. read more

Highly, highly recommend! The word is "miracle." I had an emergency issue, while pulling a trailer and Eric was amazing enough to personally fit me into their busy lineup. He not only diagnosed and fixed the issue promptly and professionally, but I'm beyond grateful and impressed with the caliber of people at this shop. Eric restored my faith in humanity with his honesty, patience, generosity and "can-do" happy service. read more

Big big thanks to these guys, they did absolutely everything they could to help me with my car. It's been a few weeks and my car is running great. I had trouble figuring out how I was going to manage getting home with a baby and no car but they went above and beyond to offer me assistance. This is my go to place now, hands down the best service I've received by a auto shop. read more
