I paid John's $415. to diagnose my recently purchased '09 VW Beetle Convertible because of their AAA affiliation. Their analysis was worthless, a total waste of money. They advised me, (offering no reason}, to replace the aluminum engine. They also advised I replace my "rusted" aluminum radiator, it's fine. They correctly advised I get a new H2O pump, replace a few hoses & fix a few other minor problems. I'm a 60 yr. AAA member; for $415. I expected a professional diagnosis.

I can’t say enough good things about John’s Automotive Care in La Mesa! I stopped in today because my brake light was out, and Cameron had it fixed in under 15 minutes. The service here is truly incredible — quick, professional, and always friendly. Whenever I need a repair, big or small, I know I can trust John’s to take care of it. It’s rare to find a shop that consistently delivers honest, high-quality service, but this place does it every time. Highly recommend!

Jay and Brian at John’s are so kind and easy to talk to! We take both our cars to John’s and always leave with a good understanding of what’s happening to our car and how they are going to fix it. I love the way they send the diagnostic information for your car with photos attached, and I feel like their pricing is fair especially for the service you receive! The shuttle driver Juan is sweet, easy to talk to and kind! I won’t take my cars anywhere else!!

Ameera, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Jay, Brian, and Juan helped make your experience such a positive one. Clear communication, transparency, and friendly service are exactly what we aim for—and it means the world that you’ve trusted us with both your vehicles. We look forward to continuing to take great care of you and your cars! 🚗💙

Got a new set of brakes and a transmission drain and fill and my car legit feels new now lol I would 100000% recommend John’s Automotive Care to anyone needing quality repairs done by competent professionals at a fair price

Just wish that when I called it was made clear that there is a fee of $300 to evaluate my car and to check why the wrench light was coming on, on top of what it costs to fix it. I would have shopped around. Seems like a great automotive place for people with money.

Just wish that when I called it was made clear that there is a fee of $300 to evaluate my car and to check why the wrench light was coming on, on top of what it costs to fix it. They did a whole car evaluation when I was just asking about the wrench light. I took my car somewhere else to look at the exact same thing, they charged me 1/2 hour to evaluate it and then $153 to fix it, total $248. John's quoted me almost $300 to fix it and $300 to evaluate it. Seems like a great automotive place for people with money.
