Johnny’s Automotive

Been coming here for a few years now. Awesome place. All mechanics are friendly, respectful, honest, and treat you like family. Communication is great… prices are fair and very reasonable.

After relocating to SG valley, I spent years driving back to L.A., as my auto-​mechanic I had used for 20 years was the only one I trusted.
I had enough of that drive, so I asked around and Johnny’s was recommended. His lot is always, always full as I had been driving past this place for a few years now. Unilocal reviews were great as well so I gave it a shot. I was not disappointed! The customer service I received was Nordstrom standard! From my first phone conversation, I automatically felt the genuine human kindness in him. Instead of just hearing «yeah, just bring your car in», he explained a few things to me about my car and what the tentative plan of action would be. He was very thorough so I understood. I took my car in and later learned the part had to be ordered & would be delivered at 2. I was on a very tight schedule as I had to be at work at 3:30, my car was done by 2:45! It was pouring rain, Johnny picked me up at home and I was at work by 3:20! My car runs great and I can’t say enough good things about Johnny’s expertise, professionalism and genuine kindness! There was something else I had had a concern with, and Johnny put my mind at rest with that… no danger, no safety concerns, it could wait. No price gouging here either. Yes, go to Johnny’s!

Our family has been bringing all our repair needs/​services to Johnnys for countless years and have never been let down. The most honest shop I know and stands behind their work. They can do it all. If it has an engine or wheels old or new, Chances are they can fix or repair whatever it is. They are always busy and there’s a good reason for that… integrity and honestly!!! I refer anyone who needs something done to Johnny’s

Johnny’s Automotive has been our family mechanic since the 90’s. He is always honest with you in regard to what needs to be done and approximately how much it will cost. Should they find additional stuff once they start working on your car they let you know up front and then you decide if you want the stuff fixed. I have been living in Los Angeles for over a decade and still prefer to take my car to Johnny’s.

Johnny runs an honest and reputable business. I’ve been coming here for about ten years over two cars, foreign and domestic. His prices are fair and usually backed by warranties on parts and labor. Avoid the nonsense associated with the jokes at Jiffy Lube and Goodyear; get the job done right the first time.

I have been bringing my car here exclusively for about 10 yrs. It’s the most amazing thing to find a mechanic who doesn’t talk to you like your an idiot or try to con you because you’re a woman. Service is great, super professional

I took my car to the dealer first (terrible idea) and everything they wanted to do to my car totaled $ 1,200.00. I did not get to meet Johnny personally, but my mom took my car to him since she knows a friend who trusts his work & she works in that area (I live in Orange County). Johnny checked out my car and only performed work that needed to be done. I got new shocks done for half the price the dealer quoted me. He even fixed the center console issue I was having (wouldn’t close) for ¹⁄₂₀^th the price the dealer quoted! I will never return to Hardin Honda, my business is STRICTLY with Johnny! Thanks a bunch :)

Johnny was referred to me and I will do the same favor to you. He is honest and does good work. On the rare occasion I had to return for a previous repair gone awry he has remedied the issue at no additional cost to me. He is usually there all the time and always takes time to explain the issues, you get the feeling he is truly looking out for you. It is no fun having to get your car fixed, in my case an older Land Rover, but you are in no better hands than Johnny.

Yes, Johnny’s Automotive is the best it gets. They have serviced all my families cars for a very long time and I trust them 100%. Once again, they are the best place to take your cars.

Johnny’s Automotive is SUPER HONEST, reliable and only does work that is NECESSARY — nothing fluffy that isn’t needed. I’ve had 6 cars (husband’s, children’s and my own) serviced by Johnny over almost 20 years and I wouldn’t go ANYWHERE else! He is absolutely the BEST mechanic around. Super friendly, informative and always explains everything in a way I can understand. He always gets authorization before performing work. I cannot say anything negative about Johnny, he is the VERY BEST! You won’t be disappointed.

Been going to Johnny’s for about 5 years. And can honestly say that I don’t ever want to find another shop!!! The most honest and trustworthy automotive shop I’ve ever have had the privilege to business with. Johnny, Leo and the rest of the guys are just down right… top notch! Would refer them to anyone who may ask if I know of a good automotive shop. They’re not just good, they’re awesome!

Fantastic shop! Called to try and make an appointment for an oil change, but was just told to come in early in the morning. Once I got there, they took care of my car right away, and I was there max 30 minutes. The guys are quick to greet and help you — big plus for an auto shop. I waited at the front desk where I met Johnny, who is one of the nicest mechanics you’ll ever meet. He had no problem with me bringing in my own oil and filter. However, I brought in the wrong filter (air, instead of oil), but they didn’t try to dupe me, and replace the air one. They just said my air filter was still good, and that they would just change the oil filter. Super honest!
Would give 5 stars, but they really don’t have a waiting area for you to wait at, which is important for me since I use a walker. Just 2 stools.
Great service, friendly, efficient, and honest staff… I am definitely coming back! 4 ½ stars!

very kind and helped me right away — he explains in detail what he thinks you really need not what u don’t need to make a quick buck! honest man!

Wow! Such an Amazing place. I have been going to Johnny’s for 5 years. Got a «new to me» car and no problem. Told me to bring it in and he let me know what needed to be done and what could wait. Stands behind work. Have referred 5+ people and they love it there too. Mechanic you can trust! So lucky. I drive from Rancho Cucamonga instead of using anybody else. Great Service!

Johnny’s is awesome. I screwed up my Ram 1500 about 2 years ago and they totally took care of my truck and haven’t had any problems with it since. Today the battery shorted out on our GMC Acadia and Johnny’s took me right in and replaced right away. They are always busy which is actually a good sign so I was surprised they did it so fast but I’m a really happy customer. Won’t take our vehicles anywhere else.

I have been going to Johnny’s Automotive for over 15 years. These guy are fantastic. Many of my friends use Johnny’s and I have never heard a single complaint. These guys are the best.

I’ve been going to John for a very long time. He’s a graduate of Don Bosco Tech in automotive and if you know anything about Bosco Tech, you know people who graduate from there know their stuff. He’s taken great care of my truck for a number of years. While I can’t speak for the two people who had bad experiences, but in my experience, he’s been an honest and skilled mechanic.

Sorry, if your gonna install a part and not call me back when I have the same problem happening again? Sorry y’all but I gotta put this place on blast!!! If your brakes are grinding, and they tell you that it’s another part, but you look at your last 2 receipts and see that it’s a part they already replaced? Then they replace it and it still does it? Wtf? Idk how much money you have taken from me and my family but after this and another incident I’m going to RPM motors!!!

BEWARE! They talk well and seem to know what they are doing… However the work they bill you for is NEVER done. I have three respected independent auto mechanics that state my work was NEVER done. When I meet with the owner Johnny who agreed that the belt was original until I showed him a receipt from his company that the work had already been done his story changed. «If you have a receipt saying it was done then we did it». Well I am here to tell you ALL the services for $ 1240.85 were NEVER done. I am tired of getting ripped off! BEWARE…

Fast, fair, and clean! I have always found it hard to trust mechanics after being burned so many times. I have used Johnny for the past 15+ years and I am always happy with the outcome. I have referred many people to Johnny and they have also been satisfied.
