New lug nut versus one that has been stripped
Kait T.

Honestly, I came here for a long time, but I feel like the quality and service has gone down. Maybe I've caught them on bad days, but the newer (in comparison to a few years ago) staff are not very friendly. I brought my car in for an oil change/tire rotation. Within a few days, I was driving home from a late night concert and unfortunately got a flat tire. I went to go change it and learned that my lug nut was completely stripped/re-threaded. I needed additional tools outside of what I had to remove my flat tire, at 1 AM. I've changed my tire multiple times. I've given myself a tire rotation. This should not have happened. I called and they asked me to bring my car in so they could physically understand what I was talking about. This appointment didn't go through, on my end. I'm not sure how they would've handled it. Since then, I have gotten a new car, and I have not considered coming back to John's for my maintenance. As well, when I brought my car in, it was about 120,000 miles, they told me that I needed to replace my serpentine belt. But I have an invoice showing that I literally just replaced it with them within the year. And after inspecting my own car, my belt was in great condition.

First visit to John's Auto Care and will undoubtedly return. I was looking for auto maintenance that was trustworthy, better priced than the dealer and more respectful of my time. I found all three so far. I received a mail coupon for $45 for a full synthetic oil change for my hybrid, which included a tire rotation for no additional charge. A good deal! I made an appointment for a little over a week in advance, I was greeted and logged in promptly and my car was in the bay 5 minutes later. I was promised an hour and it was done in 58 minutes. I waited in the small (2 chairs) but comfortable and clean office area. Staff was friendly (and to everyone that called on the phone while I was there). I hope my car doesn't need anything more than routine maintenance but I know where I will go for that as well as more major repairs.

These guys responded quickly and with the price that was standard for the industry. Even told me timeslots that were available that day. It was fast easy to understand so I booked it with them as they had great reviews on Yelp. The thing that struck me the most in the reviews was the manager's responses to customer, concerns or issues, there was compassion and an effort to make it correct. This I have not seen in a lot of the other Smog place that I usually go to so I switched. -Second, was the courteous way in which I was treated by Cameron, front office manager. This is very rare, but you can tell he cares about his job and their company reputation. I even today received a follow up text to make sure everything was OK with my car. -Third, I was very impressed with their waiting room. Typical car places don't spend a lot of time or money in their waiting area. I took some pictures so you can see small but very well laid out and decorated nicely. Also didn't take pictures of this, but the bathrooms which are out in the shop are clean and decorated nicely. Hats off to the decorating person ! Highly recommend this shop and I will be coming back here in the future!

The pricing offered by Knutz Auto & Truck is consistently competitive, significantly lower than the estimates provided by my local Ford dealership for the same repairs. The customer service provided by Mike and Sam from the front office is consistently exceptional. Sam, in particular, demonstrated remarkable attention to detail by taking multiple calls from me regarding a recent issue and assisting me in diagnosing the problem. This allowed for a swift and cost-effective repair. Despite relocating to Reno, Nevada, I continue to bring my Ford F-150 to Knutz Auto & Truck for service and repairs, confident that the repairs will be performed to the highest standards at a fair and reasonable price.

TIP! General inspection is free and so is tire rotations. But the two aren't "intergal" to each other. So be sure to ask for both general inspection AND tire rotations. Mike at the front desk and their team of technicians were absolutely fantastic - excepetional customer service, in and out the door, straight forward with precisely what was needed, competitive prices and affordable, and no funny business. Acura MDX needed an oil change, general inspection, and likely replacement of the brakes. I do simple tasks on my own, like air filter and cabin filter replacements, so I knew they weren't needed. Walked in to drop off my Acura MDX around 8:45 AM (no reservations or appts needed, just walk in.. Yes!! Just like the good'ol days). Mike called to let me know precisely what I already knew - brakes needed replacing, otherwise car is in good condition. Gave him the green light and car was good to go by 1 PM! Knutz just gained a loyal customer. We'll be coming here for all of our Auto needs moving forward. Highly recommended! Great prices, no games, straight forward, excellent service, and good people.

When I went to this location, they told me not to go to Watt because they were bad to customers. They called me back and said that the reason why the car was shaking was the control arms and a few other things. I found out that they were asking for more than double than a few other shops and that I couldn't afford the over $3000 price they asked. By that time they had got me a Lyft to my job but when I needed a ride back, they said they wouldn't give me a ride back and that they wouldn't let go of my car unless I towed it out. I decided to trust them and get the control arms on the front of my car fixed because they said that would fix the problem. When I got the car back and got it on the freeway it started shaking again. I called and told them that the car was still shaking and they said that they fixed the risk but not the problem and that they were clear about saying that. So now I am out almost $1700 and my car is still broken. They had me apply for some kind of line of credit and the first thing they did was try to max it out. Don't go to this place or any Midas for that matter, according to them. I'm going to see if there's any legal action I could take but I doubt it. I have a feeling these guys have been getting away with this kind of stuff for a long time so they could pay for their garbage commercials. I attached a picture of the persons contact I was talking to their. They went by a different name on the phone. The employee I dealt with in person was a young dude wearing a "training day" movie T-shirt. How appropriate. A corrupt cop stealing from people.

I found them to be very honest and fair pricing (not the cheapest, but quality work). What has prompted me to write this review today is the experience I had with Justin on the phone a couple of days ago. My husband and I recently purchased a 2022 Hyundai Sonata. While looking through the owner's manual we noticed that this car specifically recommends spark plug replacement at 40,000 miles. We just hit that and and not wanting to void our warranty we called to arrange a spark plug replacement. To note, I could have done this myself, but again I don't want to give Hyundai any reason to say the engine failed due to improper maintenance. When I called to inquire about pricing, Justin immediately told me I don't need to change them this early. He then proceeded to tell me that Hyundai just recommends this to get people to spend more money. He told me he used to work for them and it isn't the spark plugs that is the problem with their engines but rather a rod. Look, I appreciate someone trying to save me money, but I also believe that when a car is still under warranty manufacturer recommendations should be followed. I probably would not have written this review except I saw Mary K's review and have to agree that Justin seems to have some kind of bias against Hyundai. I know their GDI engines were not great, but this is a newer model and it has a turbo engine and I was just trying to do what was right for the car. I ended up making the appointment with another trusted mechanic.
