I've been coming to John's auto for years with all my cars over the years. He's always fair and fixed the cars quick. They're great!

My old mechanic in Stanton retired. Which was bad news to me. See, each one of my cars has its own specific car doc. My second eldest, has 220,000 miles on it. If you think that is a lot, another car has 560,000 miles and 3 motor changes on it. She has her own doc that specializes in Nissans. Anyways my Mazda and had a case of the hiccups. Which is to be expected. It is a 2003 with a ton of miles on it. The oil light began flickering after the car warmed up and I dropped below 30 MPH. I was hoping it was just the oil sensor light. My good buddy and Yelper John K recommend I bring it here. All I know is, I needed to take care of it ASAP. Not that far out of North Orange County. Right off Paramount and the 91 freeway. I can deal with driving it that far if I like the place. The entire shop has a gate around it. Perfect if your car needs to spend the night. Your car will be safe. Service was amazing. Dropped my car off on a Saturday at 9:00am and picked her up at 3:00pm. Jason and his crew are super friendly. There was a small issue finding the right size sensor for my car but Jason came through. Prices were very reasonable. Much better than other places I have been to. Thumbs up guys!!! Another one of my cars, (yes we are a car family) is in need of a new motor. I am hoping to have the engine rebuilt here. I am a fan!!! read more

John's auto repair is an honest place with reasonable prices. Although nowadays, John's retired and his son Jason's taken over. I've been impressed every time I've been here, because the people here are upfront, and tell you what you do and don't need fixed, and will even let you know if a repair's more of a luxury rather than a necessity, and not needed if all you care about is safety. One thing that I've seen Jason do that I haven't seen a lot of other mechanics do is actually show you the old part that got replaced (if you got a part replaced) and where it was worn down and broken so that you can see firsthand why it needed to be replaced. He'll also tell you if other parts are slowly wearing down and might also need replacement or repair in the near future, and tell you how you'll be able to know (it'll make a grinding sound, it'll squeak, etc.) read more

I finally found a reliable place I can come to! Jason was very nice, they took in my car right away to get my brakes fixed. They have very reasonable prices. I went to another mechanic prior up charging me, Jason assured me I didn't need it done and took care of my car. I'll come back here again. read more

Great and honest service! We own a business and take all of our cars there for service! Jason and the crew is always helpful and their prices are reasonable and affordable. I recommend this place to all my friends and family! read more

I brought my car in for a brake job and once it was done they told me everything was fine and i was good to go. Once I got on the freeway I noticed my steering wheel and brake pedal vibrated when I applied the brake. I then took it back and they said my rotors were warped. I had no problems with them before, and they had said everything was fine but now they're warped? So now i have to pay more and had the rotors changed. I drove off and 4 lugnuts came off on the front passenger side wheel... FOUR! I went and bought the lugnuts and asked to get reimbursed but they refused to take responsibility and said they were stolen from where I park and they were not responsible. No, I park in an enclosed driveway with 2 Malinois dogs outside, no one will come in to steal 4 lugnuts. Horrible customer service, I'm just happy I didn't have a car accident because of their negligence. read more

John's Auto Repair - 4 lugnuts came off on my way home after I brought my car here. - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

Kind, prompt, and thorough service. I came in as an unscheduled walk-in (sorry!), but Jason and his father were more than welcoming and provided a very clear explanation on what repairs were needed - and, most importantly, what repairs were not! As other reviewers have said, very fair prices and the extra kind and friendly service make for more than enough reason to choose them over the neighborhood Pep Boys! Thank you Jason and John! read more

My dad recommended this shop to me a while back for car repairs/oil changes and I've been very satisfied with their work, prices, and customer service. Not only did he fix my car but also passed along useful information. Thank you guys! read more

Amazing place! They were able to get my car sniffed while I was on my lunch break. I was in, and out, in like 10 minutes. Thanks guys!!

I commute from Norwalk to this place for all my car needs. Family owned and pro military shop, they will give great service to your vehicle and the prices are great as welll. Come early because this place does get busy and if you happen to arrive late I suggest you wait it out because it will be worth it trust me. read more

This shop has been at this location for many many years. I remember my father taking in his cars for all the maintenances like oil changes, transmission change, brake job, tuneups, and etc and he would always recommend me to go there. I had some issues w/ my car, getting high vibrations when i brake at high speeds. so i took it to the dealer. they said that i need a new master cylinder and a brake job.. which would have costed $1600 or more. Hell no i am paying for that much.. I mean, the car is a 2005.. i don't need a new master cylinder. So remembering this shop that my father goes to, i went and boy, am i glad i did. John told me that the high vibrations are from the rotors not being even and i would need the rotors smoothed out but upon inspection, they weren't that bad and i didn't need them smoothed out. He did notice that my tires were on the bald side and suggested that i get them replaced. I was going to do this because they were indeed fairly bald. just didn't have time to get them replaced. John also said that the bald tires can also attribute to the vibrations. since i was going to change my tires anyways, i decided to get them there. He ordered some tires and they arrived via delivery truck in no time at all. I got new tires that i was already gonna get..and guess what, no more vibrations. and no new master cylinder~! take that dealership ripoffs~!! now i know why the shop has been around for a long time. friendly owner (he also works on the cars) who is very knowledgeable, and honest assessments. (i was waiting and talkin to a lady who's been bringing her cars for 15 years!) and loyal customers. read more

John's is now my go to mechanic. I call him ahead of time to see if it is okay to come in. He always accommodates me and takes care of me right away when I'm there. He is clear about what he is going to do and I like that he lets me know the price to fix something before doing it. He communicates with me and has the car ready on time or even before the time he said it would be. I will be coming back. read more

Excellent service. Good energy people. A couple places to eat are around to go chill while you wait. Brake n light inspection Vin verification Smog check read more

I was hit by someone about a year and a half ago, and while the company contracted with the insurance did a yeoman's job in fixing the car, there were still a lot of loose ends. McPherson Struts were out, alignment was totally off, etc. I also needed my oil, air, and battery all changed/replaced/fine tuned. Long story short, I needed a mechanic, asap! Lo and behold, John's Auto Repair to the rescue! I was recommended by a friend and got to meet John himself. I was impressed by his honesty and his command of his subject matter. I was even more impressed by his very competitive price and how fast they turned around the car. My car now runs way more smoothly without any vibrations and I am very pleased. The car is a lot quieter and more efficient as well. I will be recommending my friends and I now have an auto mechanic I can trust! 5 STARS for an excellent mechanic! read more

Mr John and his son Jason along with their entire crew have been taking care of our cars for a few years now and they have always been a pleasure to do business with. They are very knowledgeable and have reasonable rates. We have recommended multiple friends and family members and all have had positive feedback. read more

0.5 star Half star just for the fast service... No customers at all.. That's why!!!!! Ripped of price. Came here for a smog check, unfortunately it failed. So the Korean owner said It's gonna be total of 60 for this time and a re- test next time when I fixed my car already. A week later I came back here , the same guy told me to pay $20 more!!!! What the!!!!! I ended up paid $70 instead of $60 as he promised. Liar, ripped off, not honest, that's why no customer here anymore. Plz tell pple that u know, don't ever come here for any service. I saw the sign for oil change $24.95 + tax just for 4 quart. I paid $20 for 5 quart plus new filter and top off fluid somewhere else. read more

Friend recommended this place to me. I recently had my brake pads replaced and rotors resurfaced at a different shop and charged me an arm and a leg.. Had to return multiple times for them to fix a clicking in my brakes after they were done. After getting fed up with them and wasting so much time I decided to go somewhere else.. So I landed at johns auto. They showed me my rotors and showed me that the other guys did a crappy job and warped my rotors from all the resurfacing. For the price I paid to have my pads replaced and resurfaced I walked out of there with new pads and new rotors. For $100 bucks less. Honest guys they got the job done and fixed the issue! They do great work and are fairly priced! And quick! I'm picky with my car and these guys took care of it! Customer 4 life now! Thanks guys! read more

John's Auto Repair - Replaced these rotors another shop destroyed.. Glad I found johns! - Auto Repair Near Me - Long Beach, California

Went to John's because he was close to home for some repairs I needed done a a smog check. Well I couldn't be any happier with John's service. Courteous, professional, reasonable prices, and great service. He was fast with the amount of work I needed. I think I have found my mechanic! John's repair shop is amazing. I will be coming back for all my repair needs! Thanks John and your team! read more

Came in for a check engine diagnostic and repair. The problem was identified and the vehicle was serviced right after. Spark plugs and valve cover were looked at and repaired. Fair price and great customer service. Would recommend. read more

I needed a new starter in my car and my Grandma is a customer of here and gave them a high recommendation. I called first thing in the morning and asked for a quote and they said they would call me back with the information. While waiting, I contacted a couple of other places, got some pricing and received a call back within 10-15 minutes. The price I got from Johns was $100 cheaper! I immediately set it up to get my car towed there and when me and my ride pulled up they were already getting started. The whole thing took about an hour and I was still able to make it to work with time to spare. Added bonus: they are SUPER friendly here and you don't feel like you're getting suckered :) read more

I been coming here for two years now always have great customer service. Noticed you as you pull in not like other shops. I would really recommend this place read more

Had John change out/clean my High Idle Valve on my 97 Accord. He did an excellent job, quick service and reasonable price.

2 front rotors turned, new original parts (brake pads) from dealer $220. All done within 2 hours. Awesome. Honest and with a quick turnaround, I'll be coming here more often! read more

My mom brought me here yesterday to get my air filter replaced and an estimate on 2 tires ($100 each here). The filter was $20 but I love how honest John was! He told us to go ahead and get my tires done at 7 Dias because they would do it cheaper. Talk about looking out for the customer's best interest! read more

Came in for a smog check. Really nice owner. $50 for a '01 Civic. Will definitely come back.

John is awesome! The place was recommended to me by a friend. Glad I listened to my friend. Now my parents and I bring our cars there. He is reasonable and does good work. read more

John is the best mechanic out there I go to no one else. He'll give you the message straight up. He's upfront about when to change tires, brakes, fluids. His pricing is unbelievably honest and competitive. I don't understand what this one star reviewer is talking about John has been around for a long as time he's as honest and as good as you get in terms of a mechanic. read more

I was the first one there in the morning and they completed my smog check in about 15 minutes. Friendly service and quick, can't ask for more. read more

Just got my brakes Good price and fast service the owner is Korean guy he is straightforward

I have had mostly minor service done to my cars by Johns Auto ...It is run by John and son Jason .. The place is nothing to look at ( pretty messy ) but in my experience they do good work and have very good lifts and are honest and fair ..They do smog checks as well ... I would recommend Johns Auto repair . read more

Normally take my 2004 Acura TSX for service. Their prices are reasonable and they always leave it in great running condition. They are very reliable. read more

We first took a car here about 6 months ago because we needed a smog check and had them throw in an oil change. Great service, and we've been coming back for other minor jobs we've needed done. One thing we really appreciate is that if they're replacing a part, they tend to show you the part that they removed that had needed repairing. Really appreciate that they are so transparent about what they do! read more

I went to John's Auto Repair on a reference for brake installations. I wanted to get the job taken care of early on a Saturday morning and luckily they were open! Before going, I called a few other places around the Lakewood area to get some quotes and John's quoted me a good $40-$50 less. The staff is very nice and friendly but the waiting room is a little small and uncomfortable (go figure). After inspecting my brakes, they found that one of the pipes for my power steering was about to bust and was leaking fluid. I knew it was gonna cost me a fortune and was in fear they weren't going to have the parts. Luckily they were able to get them from the dealer. Anyways, it seems like the owner and technicians there really know what they're doing and are knowledgeable about cars. They took care of my rear brakes, the hose and a synthetic oil change for me. It took a few hours for them to complete the job though, but thank goodness I had another ride. I feel like they were very honest and when I returned to pick up my car, they had all of the old parts laid out for me and reviewed all of the repairs which I appreciated. It still costed me an arm and a leg but my car feels brand new again and I have no complaints with the service. read more

My family runs John's auto for any car issues. Even if my vehicle's stranded 60 miles out, I'll pay to get it towed to John's for the amazing prices, reliability, and genuine honesty that seems to be impossible to come by elsewhere. From the Hu family, firm handshakes to John's Auto for the years of maintenance and repairs for our cars. read more

John hands-down is the best mechanic and very very honest. I referred all my family members friends and employees to this guy. His price is great and he does a very good job. I come all the way from Covina to fix my car here. he is definitely one of the few honest mechanic out there. He does church missionaries in different countries. Stand up guy. I hope everyone see this review and give them a try. He's been there over for over 30 years. read more
