July 2020, I am a new client for Jonney Lighting and contracted them to rebuild my 1990 Land Curser engine and Trans, lift kit and all new shocks and exhaust system. The team at Jonney Lighting did an increable job and went above and beyond what was required and did an assume job. I have never wrote a review on yelp in the past, but felt Jonney and his team certain desire a note. Job Well Done!! Thank you for your honestly and great work Mark read more

Horrible and untrustworthy ! Don't go here ! The engine in my truck was consuming oil. He recommended a new motor. He replaced it but took 2 extra months. Then he fried the main computer. Tried to blame it on the transmission. Im still waiting for him to call me back, its been 4 months. The new motor drinks oil also. He wont take responsibility for his mess up ! Shitty mechanic not on BBB read more

Jonny will always find the problem and fix it the first time . All the guys at Jonny's are friendly and knowledgeable

Took my VM buggy to Johnny Lightning based on his review and past service several times. Had them to do an electrical upgrade on ignition system (Did well but pricey) and also a carb replacement and tuneup. Had a carb replacements due to diesel in gas. Got buggy back and it ran like it wasn't jetted or correctly carbureted, as we as both carburetors leaking. Called Johnny back 3 times for help and advice. Each time they blew me off. (What an asshole after taking it there 3 times) Come to find out after I was forced to find another VW specialist, I found out carbs were not synced, floats and jets were not adjusted properly to altitude either, Spent a lot of money for a screwing JL. Now my Buggy runs better than it has ever run after going to B & R buggies in Temecula read more

Ford of Chino Hills messed up by Ford F250 diesel turbo badly. I took my truck to Jonny and he fixed it like a pro it run's great, even better then before. Ford Chino Hills also said that I needed 4 new tires, the funny part is, I had new tires, what a rip off!!! I will never go back to that dealer. I will take all my cars to Jonny and recommend the thousands of my clients to do the same. read more

Jonny took our 69 Chevy Impala that had been sitting for 5yrs and had many issues but they went through the engine and had it running in a couple of days. also needed a new Transmission and tires and electrical work. They were spot on fixing everything we needed for an absolutly excellent price. I would trust this company with ALL my needs.. Thank You Jonny Lightning. 10 stars out of 10 here read more

Spent over 9,000$ here for them to blow most the budget I gave them on AC stuff that didn't really effect the function of the truck and didn't fix the main things I asked the truck still doesn't have the basic things I paid them to fix fixed they "said" the eletrical, axle leak, brakes,air conditioning and wipers were fixed I get a few miles down the freeway brakes lock up and start smoking while approaching heavy traffic I have put hundreds of miles on my truck with no issues until this shop touched it so it gets towed back fixed on my dime for something they said they went through and "fixed" so I get the truck back few days later notices axle is still leaking am going through it and then I see never touched any of the eletrical they "said" they fixed I mentioned the fuse block before I picked up the truck to steve and was told "It's fixed" the radiator hoses start leaking they were just flushing when they did the AC money dump before fixing the main issues that make the truck function and then wipers stop working minutes after driving in the rain so it goes back again on a flatbed all on my dime again keep in mind i was told all this was fixed and i "paid" for it to be "fixed". they don't call or touch my truck for months I get the run around from Steve I ask to talk to Jonny multiple times 4months after 0 progress was made the 2rd time the truck was towed in for months never heard from jonny until its done suddenly a few days after I got pissed on the phone with Steve I pick it up and things are still messed up I paid to have fixed now the wiring on the fuse block are getting hot and smoking now after they "fixed" the fuse block issue I was told I will not bring any of my 7 truck back here to have bad quality work and to be lied to my face about things I specifically asked was fixed wasnt even touched to pay multiple times for one repair they absolutely don't stand by any of their work and lack basic communication skills. times i asked for quotes i was given no infomation until truck was finished very very bad communication. all the reviews are not very accurate to the experience I had, I recommend other shops who have better communication and respect for their customers time especially a 2x comeback on a flatbed. I am thinking of taking this to civil court after I get all the work checked by another shop as I paid so much for things that clearly werent fixed and they have had the truck 3x now almost for a year total it's sat at that shop litteraly nothing they have touched has been a solid fix short term gains to lose a good paying customer and long term work. Oh yeah and now for some reason my truck has two right side tie rods after they redid my entire axle to fix this leak.. was almost undrivable and now a fire hazard I guess that one got passed the "experts" over there. read more

I always have a lot of problems with my s2000 & Jonny is always the one to fix all my problems he is the best most honest mechanic I've ever had in my time dealing with my track car.

Robert H. I was referred to Jonny Lightning by Jerry's Brake & Alignment after finding out that Jerry's doesn't do Scope & Alignments, Jonny was right on target with a Diagnosis of my 28 yr old 91 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA which I've owned, restored and modified with High Performance Part up grades and My Bird has always ran perfectly up until Jonny found Bad Fuel Injectors and Fuel Pressure Regulator, so since the Intake Plenum and Runners were to be removed, I thought this would be a Good Idea & Time to also change out the EGR Valve under the Plenum, so after I supplied ALL the parts, including intake Plenum Gaskets except for the Fuel Pressure Regulator my Road Rocket Runs like NEW again Thanks to Jonny Lightning and his Great Technicians who know their Job and perform it Perfectly ! Thanks a Million I will absolutely be back for MORE Service ! read more

Called their shop to work on a wiring job. Man who answered phone asked the owner and I hear the owner simply reply "no" in the background. No reason why just "no". Terrible customer service to talk to people that way. read more

Honest hard working bunch of guys. Very friendly and I always feel good knowing they worked on my car. This is a great place they are fast and communicate along the way. Thanks to everybody down at the shop and merry Xmas read more

Great team and excellent service...these guys are great and I will continue to support them

John and the crew did an awesome job on my 67 f100. He earned a returning customer and will refer him to others.

Jonny and the staff here are great! I brought in my Tundra that had an exhaust leak and they handled it on the spot. I also had some suspension questions and without selling me something I didn't need he took time to explain what was causing the noise I was hearing. I would highly recommend. read more

Worst experience with mechanic's ever! We took our 63 truck here over and over, felt obligated to let them try to fix same problem repeatedly as they say it's under warranty but after taking the truck to another shop it finally runs reliable and no longer getting it towed home! Thank God we decided to take our truck elsewhere! Do yourself a favor and don't take your vehicles to "Jonny Lightning" complete waste of time and money! read more

I came here because my husband's car was throwing transmission codes and they were close to his office. They kept his car for three days, checked everything from top to bottom, down to looking for metal shavings in the pan. When it was clear that it was a computer issue that is a recall, instead of charging us a diagnostic fee and nickel and diming us for everything, they just charged us for the service I requested they perform. Then they wanted to make sure that both my husband and I were very clear that we would follow up with the dealership with the recall. You can trust them. They're good. They won't take advantage of you. Plus, the cars in the lot are pretty awesome to look at. I will be back!!! Be sure to call ahead...they fill up fast! read more

Jonny and his team over at the shop are great. I bring my 57 Belair all the way from La Mirada just to have them work on it. They know what they are doing and will give you a fair and reasonable price for the job. I will not take my classic car anywhere else. read more

I've been a customer of Jonny Lightning for going on 13 years he's one of the most honest and loyal people you can come across he knows his business he knows how to fix your car if you have any kind of electrical problem nightmare that you're dealing with this is the place to take it to. I. Highly recommendJohnny lightning Jack Dailey read more

We took out 64 Chevelle to Jonny Lightning on 1/13/20 because our car had a lot of leaks. They called and said our car needed to have the motor and transmission pulled to fix the leaks and that would cost $3000.00. I had a funny feeling and wanted a second opinion. We picked the car up for a fee and took it over to Ed Martin's garage in Riverside for a second opinion. They called us within a hour and said they could fix all the leaks, oil change and tune it up for $615.11. So the reason for this horrible rating of Jonny Lightning is because you just can't trust every machanic for what they tell you needs to be done. You do the math. Would you want to pay over 3 grand or $615.11 read more

One foggy morning the driver side window on my wife's 06 Tribute stopped working. I thought it was just off the track, took off the panel and quickly determined that the window was on the track but the regulator was broke. I called a couple of shops and they all wanted about $100 to diagnose the problem even though I had taken the panel off. I called Jonny and explained what the situation was. When I asked how much to diagnose he said "$45 if I have to take the panel off" I said I already had it off, he said than just bring it by. I drove down then and he looked it and said the regulator was busted and took 5 or so minutes to call on the part and gave me a price. He had about a million things going on and cars all over the place so I figured he would order the part and call me When it was in. Nope, he said he would have the car done by the end of the day and gave me a lift home. Great service and I did some Checking on the part price after the fact, he either made no money or very little money.. great service read more

We were referred by a long-time customer who said THIS is the place to go. We didn't end up getting my mothers car repaired here, but wanted to leave feedback because I am grateful for this company. The repairs needed were almost as much as the cars value, so we decided to go a different way with this vehicle. We received a good estimate, great communication, and great customer service. I live in San Diego, so I couldn't be there personally to deal with this issue. If did live there, Jon would get our family's business. This is an honest businessman. read more

My husband and I found our way to Johnny for our German cars when a local so-called German car expert made repair errors on BOTH of our cars. We'll never go anywhere else! His work is thorough and his prices are reasonable. The cherry on top? Johnny is the friendliest, smiliest guy in town! read more

This hurts me to say it, Johnny Steve and the guys are great people. Honors his warranties. However we put in a motor transmission driveshaft and rebuilt rear end. He has tore it all down three times STILL not right. 3 starters 2 driveshafts 2 transmissions. I have been back to his shop more times than I can count. Drive shaft seal has gone out twice I burned up two transmissions Hard Shift Points. Less than 12,000 miles on the mother. Despite everything being still under warranty I had to hang them up. I took it to another place today they looked under the hood and said you need a lockdown cable with better geometry all your trouble will be over for a couple hundred bucks! Could have saved 1,000's Sad Reality read more

If it's broken they fix it and.... If it isn't broken then they won't fix it and send you a bill. These guys are straight forward and pricing is reasonable. I have a small commercial fleet of about a dozen trucks, trailers, etc. Which they have been servicing now for almost 2 years. I cannot stress how good the service and work is. read more

They are great, fast and I trust them to tell me the truth without padding the bill. My family all go there to get our cars worked on and my husband was a mechanic for 10 years. read more

The guys at Johnny's place are great. Took my 2003 Red Dodge Ram to my wires fixed because my pup Lab chewed them up. The team at Johnny's took care of it (twice) without hitch. Truck runs great. Good job fellas. read more

I went because fuses were blowing out as soon as I insert them he figured out the problem in minutes and didn't change an anything extra. Will definitely return to this place and refer friends and family read more

I take every vehicle I own (which is surprisingly a lot) to Johnny. His team is always thorough and honest about the repairs. He is a genius regarding anything with a motor or without. He completely rewired my vintage camper and recommended a few things that now make our camper so much better! My parents now bring their car from 150 miles away because we know we can trust him. I highly recommend using him for any repair big or small and any kind of vehicle on road and off road. read more

Nasty check engine light came on and everyone wanted to charge $100. up just to check it out. Went to Jonnys and Steve said let me hook it up to the code reader. He had it off in a minute and informed me that the code was never cleared the last time. SIMPLE! Jonny is my shop from now on. Thanks Jonny and Steve! read more

FINALLY a mechanic you can trust wholeheartedly!!! This shop was recommended to me by word of mouth, and it is no surprise why. Let's first talk about the vibe: From the moment you step foot on the property, the whole crew is respectful and friendly. It's not the typical scruffy shop with scruffy dudes that make you dread having to repair your car - they don't take you less seriously or make you feel uncomfortable for being a woman in what is typically considered a man's world. VERY IMPORTANT for establishing trust!! Okay, now let's talk about the repair. I had taken my car elsewhere , and they couldn't figure out what was wrong and just made things worse, in addition to trying to insult my intelligence (I may not be a car expert but I'm not stupid!). John and Steve - the best duo ever - were so fast and accurate!! My old beater car runs beautifully and I fell in love with it all over again!! Seriously I hope to not need repairs soon, but when I do, I will no doubt come back to Johnny Lightning, and you should, too - they are simply wonderful!!! The shop that can :)!!! Thank you, John and Steve!!!! read more

These guys rock! They are knowledgeable, considerate, thorough, fair priced, and kind. And they shop around for parts in order to get the best price for their customers! I lived in their waiting room for the good part of a day so heard how they practice business! And I felt good about it. Not to mention that my car is finally running better after having problems for several months. So if you're looking for a mechanic, shop no further! read more

Great work at a reasonable price. I had some exhaust damage to my late model Durango R/T. They had it straighened in a couple of hours and it looked better than it did from the factory. This will be my first stop when I need fab work. read more
