This is to alert potential customers about this shop owner's business practice- Beware! 1st, my car was kept in the shop almost 21/2 weeks with minimal contact- and this you need to know- Jon Uses Your car- to go around picking up Parts for other customers, and trips to his house, under the ruse if "test driving" your vehicle! Mind you using your car and your gas for his business and personal errands! I have a luxury car that I just had a body shop rehab- complete paint job, etc., and he then put my car into Jon's Pit Stop, (recommended by auto body shop- for repairs) I while incurring weeks of additional rental fees while at Jon's, with no consideration from him , discovered that my car was being used to haul around parts for other customers,( i showed up unannounced and saw parts in my car-pictures available) and Jon readily admitted that this is good use of his time- he goes home he said while driving my car and goes around picking up parts! He says that he has always done this and sees nothing wrong with it! He said this to me and to the body shop owner, who referred him! I called The Bureau of Automotive Repairs(BAR) and told them and I was told that a shop gets permission to test drive your vehicle, and that is "All" they can do.! Nothing else- no going home or anywhere else! No using your car for pick up or delivery! I was told that this is against the law-", it's called; Theft by Bailee, and that I can report it. I am very careful about anything that goes into my car- trunk etc- I keep it clean, and the idea of him charging me way more than he initially said, and car rental time, and not recording the mileage until he had possession of my car for over a week,( now I know why), and after spending all that money on rehab, he is using my Lexus as a work pick up truck, hauling parts! I trusted my auto body shop's owner, i had no prior knowledge of Jon's Pit Stop- I later discovered that he was unaware of Jon's use of customer vehicles, since he refers business to him), he suggested to Jon that this practice was wrong and that he also should compensate me for some of the rental time- Jon refused and his response is that he's always used the customer's vehicles this way and that it is a more efficient use of his time!! So just know that if you go here, or have gone here your vehicle was or will be used as a parts pick up truck! I talked to a man I know who owns the same make and model car that I drive and he said that he also would have been so angry , had this been his car, and with Jon's attitude that it is perfectly ok, that he suggested I talk with an attorney! No star- just had to hit one! read more

I wouldn't trust anyone else with my car. Honest and relatable. Very knowledgeable and they love what they do.

I have a mobile locksmith business for over 45 years. I know mechanics pretty well. I was referred to jon by a friend. He has accommodated me every single time I've needed a repair, with minimal down time. Best of all I TRUST HIM! His prices are reasonable and fair. read more

Jon is the ABSOLUTE BEST. He fit me into his already busy schedule, was able to take a look at my car and knew exactly what was wrong. The problem with other places is they say what they think is wrong with your car, but they don't really know what's going on and you end up spending so much money while they try to figure it out; they tell you the problems, but throw all kinds of things at you to "fix it." With Jon, he knows exactly what's going on and how to fix it. Don't waste your time or money going to someone else. Jon's the best guy around, as a mechanic and as a human being. THANK YOU JON! read more

Jon is great! My friend and her family have been taking their cars to him for years, one even driving two counties! He's friendly, a great mechanic, and, most importanly, honest. It's hard to find someone you trust will always be fair and does a great job. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Jon. read more

Having car issues? Stop what you are doing and take your car here!! Jon is the most trustworthy mechanic around! My dad has been taking his cars to Jon for five years now and kept telling me to give him a try. My car was covered by Lexus for the first few years but as soon as it wasnt it was crazy expensive to take my car to the dealer.. I was quoted 1800 for some repairs and knew something didn't sound right. I took my car to Jon, telling him what I was told the issue was. After he took a look at my car, he found that I had a different issue that was much much less to fix! Jon is so honest! He fixed the problem in a few hours and my car was good to go! I now take my car to Jon for regular oil changes and repairs. read more

My sister recommended Jon to me a couple years back when I had a different car. At the time I went where it was convenient for me near my job. Needless to say I don't have that car anymore because I trusted the wrong mechanic. Now I have a new used car and Jon is great with my car. I bring it in for everything with no hassles and straight up truth. My car is in great hands now! read more

on's Pit Stop is The Best! Before going to Jon's, I was always intimidated by mechanics since I know very little about cars. Not so with Jon; he takes the time to patiently explain whatever it is I need done and actually shows me what it is he will be doing. Jon's prices are fair and reasonable; his shop is clean and orderly and my car comes out perfect! Thanks, Jon! read more

My car died going down the 101. It was around 5pm and I had to wait a while for the tow truck to show up. At the time I didn't have Jon's card on me and couldn't remember the exact name of his business? But I had been there before and knew how to drive there. I directed the tow truck driver to Jon's but if course it was after hours when we arrived. I recognized the shop as soon as we pulled up and was now able to call him. I was really hoping he would answer because I didn't have any nearby options to tow the car to. Thank god! Jon picked up! He was working late and was in the office. He came out and helped park the car. He let me know he'd check it out and call me the next day with my options. Turns out, I needed a new engine. He gave some options and guidance on that. He installed it and even tho he ran into some unexpected items and difficulty with some stubborn old parts that wanted to stay together forever instead of being replaced he was careful not to break difficult parts and was careful and thoughtfull with his work. He stayed with his original bid even tho he put extra time in. His skill, experience and patience saved me money and the quality of his work will serve me through a whole lotta miles! He has my complete trust and I will be bringing him my vehicles for as long as hes in business. read more

I have been going to Jon's for several years. My daughter, who is a certified mechanic, introduced me to Jon. She said that I shouldn't trust anyone but Jon with my cars. I had a 2001 Acura MDX, and thanks to Jon, it lasted a lot longer than I thought it would. If you're looking for excellence and honesty in a mechanic, call Jon read more

I've taken several of my cars and significant other's cars to Jon's over the years. He has fixed problems that even the dealership couldn't figure out. Once he did that, I've never looked back. He is the hardest working, most honest mechanic I've ever met. He's clear and concise and really breaks down everything with you. He even did the impossible and impressed my girlfriend's father, a man who knows his cars, when he worked on her car. Long story short, you'll never need or meet a better mechanic. read more

Jon is the most honest, most hard-working mechanic in the San Fernando Valley. You will be hard pressed to find anyone more capable of idenfying your car's problem(s) and solving them in a creative, cost-effective, long-lasting manner. I cannot recommend Jon enough for anything under the hood. Great guy, great business! read more

Jon is one of those rare mechanics who gives you an honest opinion and doesn't try to sell you on nonsense. My family and friends trust him with all of our cars because we know we'll get the job done right with a visit to JPS. read more

Took my 09 A4 here after going to two other shops that diagnosed my car incorrectly. Jon was able to fix the problem for a fraction of the cost. He is a very honest and hard working mechanic. He does not nickle and dime you. He will be honest with you from the start. Highly recommend to everyone. read more

Well, I was working in Malibu and I heard a large bang and a grinding from my back left tire. I stopped got out and looked and the ARM holding my wheel completely broke.
