    Brought my Scion XB to John's Automotive today because it was running rough. The shop was really busy but John Sr. got it in checked it out & I'll eventually have to have my fuel injectors replaced. Thank you John for taking the time to help me out with my car today & giving me a good price on the estimate to replace my fuel injectors. Marsha Roberts

    This place sucks, I took my car there for 3 things in which the older gentleman at the front counter wrote down when I dropped off my car. #1)O2 sensor, #2) window not working #3) check for a bad ground (which they corrected) but the reason why my check engine light was on was a bad O2 sensor which is what i also wanted them to fix.....come to find out when I left the shop and the CE light came back on and O2 sensor not replaced....listen im not angry but they were so rude about it when I bought it back and asked if the 02 was replaced to the point where I had to tell the man "god bless you" in hopes calm his nerves....truth is they only charged me $119 to fix the bad ground which is chump change for me but little did they know I had another $1,000.00 to spend on maintaining the vehicle that day that could of been in there pocket since the vehicle is my travel car everyday from Jax to Orlando...but since they were so rude and defensive ill take my $$ and other 4 cars else where...but no I can't recommend this place.And I hope they learn if the customer is coming in to spend more $, make the customer happy and let them spend more $ just take accountability.....and look back at your camera and see that the older gentlemen that I dropped the car off to at 930 am wrote down each thing I requested to be repaired. God bless you guys at John's and I wish you the best of luck

    Stop your search!!!! This isn’t you have found it!! If you want an HONEST CREDIBLE ETHICAL PROFESSIONAL…… this is it. Its first come first serve so with my schedule it was a no brainer I dropped off my truck to have the A/C fixed and it was right after lunch they called me and said it was ready for pick up… next day took my mini van window regulator just gave up driving down the road they had it fixed by end of day. Cost were fair standard I have such high respect for individuals who can fix things intricate things these guys will always be my go to place and my hero’s. When you find a decent mechanic. Don’t ever leave them take them candy take them soda befriend them…. Note to self grab a six pack of Coke😃 thank you guy amazing job service with a smile and the owner …. Just a down home all around good guy!!! You can trust them and that’s saying something!!!
