Very honest treatment. Did what was requested and didn't try to upsell me with something else.

John is genuinely the nicest person in the world. He did not know me at all when I walked in without an appointment on a super busy Friday. He was taking care of a ton of people at once and still looked my car, found and fixed a leaking tube and then did not charge me a dime. Does this type of person, let alone car mechanic, still exist these days? Only John. read more

Call with odd issue.I had just discovered and they were able to find a way to take me in and resolve it in less than an hour. It was clear they knew what they were doing and showed me both the new and the old parts. CraiG was very helpful! read more

First of all the manager Craig was a smart real nice guy. Made me feel so welcome and a really nice guy. Works so hard this place is a very busy and he is just wonderful calm cool and collected! Definitely knows his stuff! Saw the owner pop in for a second and just had to tell him what a nice guy Craig is. They now will be my new place to go for my car. read more

As an 80 year old I have delt with many auto repair shops and dealer service departments. I have never delt with a more honest and capable repair shop in all my years. These guys are great. No B.S. I won't take my truck anywhere else. Only advice is make an appointment because they are always busy and now you know why. read more

I don't know what took me so long, but needed lights on my 2009 Honda Pilot to work. Looked up John's, had heard good things, read the reviews and let me just say, the reviews are correct. This is the place to bring your car for repairs. Hometown guys, taking care of their customers. It's obvious when you walk in and see the notes that people have written, thanking them for their service. They were quick and efficient. I know I saved a ton of money and time versus going to Honda dealership. Craig is who I initially spoke with on the phone and in person. I saw his name in other reviews. read more

Use John's auto repair many times for many vehicles and never had an issue. Very reliable and trust worthy.

The best in town! Honest men and great work!! Never disappoint!! Highly recommend them! Craig is so accommodating and really explains everything thoroughly. They don't take advantage of you and are soooo kind! Love them! Craig and Mr. Nicola are absolutely amazing every single time! read more

This business has been a community treasure for over 20 years. Excellent mechanics and scrupulous honesty. Go once, and you will be back.

I give this man a 5 star because he's really a nice man and honest which is a hard trait to find this days. My mom brought the car here because she was hearing and feeling something in the car by the way she explain my husband thought it maybe the transmission. Long story short mom asked if there was someone that could drive her to my house and he said, no but I will give you the money that the taxi will charge you. I picked up the car today and he said, I can't find anything wrong, drive it put the machine that will tell me what is wrong but no such code exist which I can't fix what's not broken. I know if I brought my car somewhere else which I have they always find something wrong. I will definitely come back again. Totally recommend read more

John's Auto Repair got a new forever customer today! I called Craig because my car had stalled over the weekend. I didn't have an appointment but he had me come right in. He explained in detail what the problem could be, made a few repairs that could have been contributing to the problem and explained each one, making sure I understood. He even showed me the pieces that needed repair and what had happened. I was still going to my former mechanic in South Plainfield but I am so happy that John's was recommended to me. As I said, they got a new forever customer. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND and DEFINITLEY will be back! read more

I'm going to let the shop's own words speak for themselves here. "I can't help you and I'm not going to recommend any of my competition." It's a 100 degree day in summer. I'm a woman traveling alone with a child through a NJ town I've never been before. My AC randomly stops working. I go to an auto repair store asking for local recs and they specifically recommend John's Auto Repair, saying to tell the shop we were sent there. So I do! I go to the auto repair shop, and while they are clearly busy, I wait my turn and put a smile on my now gross icky and sweaty face and tell them what's happened. Dude behind the counter just says he's too busy today -- which is fine, business and all -- but then when I ask him what he suggests I do, he shrugs and tells me: "I can't help you and I'm not going to recommend any of my competition. Take it to the dealer I guess." I mean ... really? That's what you say? I see they have lots of good reviews here, so they may be talented repairmen -- I don't really know, never got that far. But as far as human beings go, they leave a lot to be desired. (BTW, brought my car to a nearby shop where the guy behind the counter not only was willing to help but also, unbidden, brought my hot and sweaty kid a bottle of ice water bc she looked so poorly -- so yeah. There's that. My experience in this town at least has that positive note with a helpful mechanic not to busy to be humane -- albeit NOT at Johns auto repair.) read more

I moved to New Jersey about 23 years ago. We moved here not knowing anyone , much less a reliable auto mechanic. i tried a few places in the area and none gave me any confidence. John's Auto was recommended to me by someone I met had met in this the. I needed some work done, so I gave them a shot. Well, it's been 22 years now and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I go there knowing I will get professional services, a precise diagnosis, and a fair price. Great team, great management. read more

Always a pleasure to go to John's auto repair Honest and reliable work. They don't tell you anything you don't need read more

They always go above and beyond to ensure my wife's car and mine are always in tip top shape. The most honest mechanic I have ever had the experience to work with. I will never go to another mechanic or the dealer again. read more

My check engine light came on and I took it to Craig for repair. He was very accommodating and nice and they looked at my car immediately. Felt like diagnosis and prices were fair and honest. Definitely found my go to guy in the area read more

My go to car problem place. They fixed my old car and My new car tires had nail in it and keeps leaking air, they fixed it for me twice free of charge as my Christmas gift . highly recommended. Very nice guys read more

Excellent and fast service. I called in the morning for a flat tire repair and I drove there around lunchtime thinking I will use uber to come home since they would need more time. To my surprise, all tires were thoroughly checked and the flat tire repaired within 40 minutes. Price charged below what I was anticipating. read more

I moved to NJ 3 years ago and was looking for a new mechanic. I heard good things about this place so when it was time to get my brakes and rotors replaced I stopped by John's Auto repair and spoke with Craig regarding the work. Once they took off the tires (mind you, I was leaving the shop to go to the store) and looked at my brakes Craig runs out of the store to catch me, he asked me who said I needed new brakes, as my brakes was still good and at least 70% before I needed to change them. So he put the tires back on FREE of charge!!!! I was pleasantly surprised as another shop might have replaced them anyway without my knowledge. I really appreciate their honesty and will be back when it's time to get any repairs done! I would recommend anybody who is looking for a mechanic shop to give them a try! I gave them 5 stars because of their professionalism and honesty. Signed a future Customer Persina read more

This is by far the best mechanic shop in the East Windsor, NJ area. John, the owner, is the nicest gentleman and not only explains every problem but is the most honest when it comes to prices. They honor appt times and do the work in a quick fashion. I'm still in disbelief that they fixed 3 minor problems free of charge for me. Thank you to John and his outstanding crew! read more

We brought in our 2006 Honda Civic. We believed it was an exhaust leak; but the muffler was the problem. They were professional and courteous; they also were able to finish the job within 5 hours. The costs were very reasonable too. I would highly recommend; we felt cared for and like the prices of the service and parts were very fair. They have new regular customers now. read more

John's Auto Repair - Johns Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - East Windsor, New Jersey

I want to start off by saying that I have never trusted mechanics until I started taking my car to this shop. The mechanics are extremely knowledgeable and they won't rip you off. I brought my Honda Civic here recently after getting screwed over multiple times by wannabe mechanics and they have really restored my faith in the auto industry. In addition to my Honda repairs, my boyfriend has a BMW that he was recently in an accident with. The insurance company sent him to a mechanic that was giving him the run around instead of a solid answer. I told my boyfriend to bring the car to him and he looked at it immediately and told him exactly what needed to be done. We really appreciate the honest and quick repairs of John's Auto. read more

I have many stories I can tell about this shop. The honesty is unlike any other shops I have ever been to. John and Craig and forthcoming with the situation of the cars and they truly care about their clients. Before social media they received letters that today hang on their waiting room area. One satisfied customer after another. read more

I can't begin to tell you how blown over I was with the time effort and care that the people at John's did for me when I was at their shop last Thursday. They spent almost 3 hours working on my car including phone calls to part suppliers in order to see if my car could be fixed without having to replace my engine. After we determined it would cost more than the car was worth I concluded that I would need to junk my car. When I went to pay my bill for the 3 hours that they worked on my car Craig told me that there was no charge because they were working on the car in order to get me an estimate. Who does that in this day and time? They have earned my business and my next vehicle will only be serviced by John's Auto Repair. read more

I have been bringing my car to John's Auto Repair for more than 20 years. The quality of work is excellent! Every time I bring my car in, Craig or John will take care of whatever maintenance is needed...whether it is replacing a light bulb for the tail light or a complete brake job. The work is completed at a fair price and with a smile. If I inquire about replacing a part, Craig will tell me at what mileage to replace it. Regular maintenance is the key. If the repair is not needed, John or Craig will let me know. read more

I'm not usually this enthusiastic in my reviews, but these guys are just about the best mechanics I've ever had... I just moved an hour away from John's Auto and I'll still make the trip down to see them for anything major. John and Craig are both really personable, really concerned with your welfare and your budget, and never BS you, and that's rare in a shop. They do get backed up, and it can take them a while to do a brake job or an oil change, but for anything significant, to me it's worth the wait. read more

Really great repair shop. I have been coming here for several years now. I never feel taken advantage of and I never feel that anything is being pushed on me. They are thorough and accommodating. Both as mechanics and as a business, I trust them. Plus Craig the manager is fantastic. read more

This is most valuable local auto shop. Feel they are family. They care about you, try to save your money, while maintaining high quality work. read more

These guys are the best! we take our vehicle there no matter if it's for. something small like tail lights, or something large like axle and flex pipe/exhaust. Very reliable, very trustworthy, and very affordable. We love these guys. read more

Great service. Above and beyond. Got my brakes fixed. Great price! John is very nice and helpful. read more

Craig took my car in and even though all their bays were filled, they got to my car in a timely fashion. I was in the lobby for a little and got to hear them interact with a bunch of customers. They were very professional and courteous, and did everything they could to keep everyone's prices as low as possible. I hope I don't need anymore car work done anytime soon, but I will gladly come back. Customer for life! read more

During the last two weeks I had two significant problems which John's crew repaired professionally and at a fair price. These experiences only emphasized and supported the high regard in which I hold Craig and the crew. I will always be glad that I found this shop and I recommend them highly. They are not parts swappers - they diagnose the problem and find the real cause before proceeding. Give them a try! You will not be disappointed. read more

Highly recommended! John and his staff are professional and fair. I brought BOTH of my cars in yesterday because they both died on the same day. I have no car knowledge but had no hesitancy to tow my car 15 miles to his establishment because of his previous history of fast and accurate repairs with warranties on the shops' work. John went way out of his way yesterday to obtain an obscure piece of my PT Cruiser's steering column to repair it rather than replacing it- a much more expensive job. This is an amazing way to maintain customer loyalty. My other car seems like it will be tricky and he is open to working with a warranty purchased when we bought the used car. You will be happy you put your trust in Johns Sunoco on Route 130 in Hightstown, NJ. read more

John's auto is the first in my mind whenever things happened to my car. Their service is superb: fast, reasonable price and always so friendly. They never overcharge like your dealers. You can trust them in them fixing your old car or your luxury car. They are able to help you to the maximum yet only charge you surprisingly minimum read more

this is one of the most horrible workshops I've ever seen in my life. I draw van with trailer , and my trailer's tire start loose air. I stop by at John's shop , and ask to help me. I ask to install the plug( I found little hole in the tire). But the man at reception reject my request . I asked him: "Why????" It's 2 min job." He said : "we can not do it on the trailers." I answered: "what kind different between cars and trailers???? I just need a PLUG!!! Or install patch for my tire. He said: NO! I think it's stupid and ridiculous. read more

Excellent service, friendly, knowledgeable staff. I don't feel looked down on because i'm a woman either. I've met John in person, he's so kind and helpful, i feel he respects his customers and his staff. I won't take my car anywhere else for tire service or oil changes. read more
