I desperately needed two rear tires and someone recommended John's. I was greeted with a smile and incredible service. Immediately, I could tell that John was going to do everything in his power to help me. You can tell that he is someone who genuinely enjoys people and his line of work. Would recommend to anyone who has car issues. If you want someone who is going to treat you with respect and compassion and fix your car issue in a timely manner, John's is the perfect spot.

Reliable and willing to go out of their way to solve problems and do the job right. Only shop around that took the initiative to remove aftermarket wheels with special lug nuts from truck so new tires could be installed.

John is awesome! I can't say enough good things about how positive my experience was at John's Auto. He is honest, reasonably priced, does solid work, and does it all in a timely manner. I was in a bind with my son's car who was in town from NYC and John went out of his way to help me out and get my son on his way back home. Highly recommend this shop!

JJ is both honest and experienced as it's been family owned for over 30 years. Think of it as your "local" place to bring your car but with the same expertise and pricing as any big shop but with the added benefit that he's going to do the right thing by you Service: Tires

John has been a long time family friend. where do I begin. Thisan is one of the most hard working professionals I have ever met bar none. if you are in Jam he can ALWAYS help. John had gone completely out of his way to fix my car, for a road test the next day. he stayed late and woke up before hours just so that I could make in time. Even if he MIGHT not be able to help that day, he will get you in as quick as he can. I have nothing but wonderful service over the years. I HIGHLY recommend him.

It's worth staying local. Super friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. John did what he said he was going to do and did it on time. The day before a long holiday weekend he was slammed but still managed to get the job done and done right. Needing new brakes and rotors he called me to give me options. A few hours later he was calling to tell me the job was done.

Impressive because I don't typically expect this level of service anymore. I have called him 2 days prior to my appointment. Overall cost was comparable to taking it out of the way to the dealership. Highly recommended.

Best experience with a mechanic I've had. Old school loyalty. Fixed a flat tire I had on short notice, gave me multiple options, even read my check-engine light to let me know how serious the repair would be before getting new tires. Would go back to again next time something is wrong with vehicle. Service: Tires

Great work and quick service by some solid guys. I talked to John a few times about my 1978 Ford F250 before actually taking it into him to work on it. He was always willing to talk with me about the potential work that would need to be done to my old truck. I asked him to do some engine work and he said he would have a technician look at it. After looking at it though he told me it was going to be too much of a job for him and his shop.

He was honest and realistic about the job and the work that needed to be done and I appreciated that. He said that he could do the new tires and some other maintenance though. While working on my truck he talked me through each step, explained each piece/job, and gave me choices along the way. He even had me come down to make sure I knew the exact tires that I was going to get and to make sure that I was happy with them before he ordered the set. Fair pricing, no up-selling nonsense, and honest people. I recommend getting your car serviced here.

What a great place for tire and auto service! After going over what I needed for service, John did the work quickly and thoroughly. He asked if I wanted a much needed oil change while my car was still up on the lift. I said yes and he identified a few other things that needed maintenance. There was no pressure at all. The price of the work was reasonable and fair. John also made written recommendations for my car and where to get an alignment. He is now my go-to car and tire guy!

John and his team have been incredibly accommodating and helpful since I started servicing my car over a year ago at John's Auto! I commute a great distance to work, so oil changes and other checkups happen more frequently. Fridays are the only day that ever works for me, yet they have never failed to accommodate me (and relatively last minute) in sneaking me in for Friday appointments.

Last fall, I had to replace all four tires and my breaks; John helped me pick out reasonably-priced, quality all-weather tires. My tires and breaks were installed in a timely fashion and most definitely at a reasonable price. I have nothing but great things to say about my new tires. they have definitely saved me during the arduous winter season so far! I also get free tire rotations moving forward. Thanks so much John and your team! Look forward to seeing you soon!

I first found John's Auto when I had a flat tire last fall. I called John and he fit me into his morning scheduled. He is so friendly and provided fast and efficient service. I went back recently for four new tires, as I was overdue, and John took the time to explain the various options I had. He gave me an appointment right away and also fit in an oil change for me - again super service, and I am very happy with my tires.

I'll be going back for my oil changes and free tire rotation. I prefer using a local business, especially one that takes the time to explain options and be so nice. I highly recommend John.

I went to John's Auto in need of new tires for my Jeep. First and foremost, I immediately noticed that, even though I was a woman, he was talking to me without a gender bias. This may sound ridiculous but I had just come from a few other mechanics that had spoken to me in a "you're a woman and have no idea what you're talking about mechanically" kind of tone.

Back to the point. He proposed a few different brands and types of tire for my car. He gave me the pros and cons of each, answered all the questions I had, and did not at all pressure me to make a decision on the spot. After thinking about it for a night and doing a little research, I contacted him and requested the tires which his own wife has on her car.

I mean that's a piece of mind right there. He was quick to reply and scheduled me for an appointment before an impending snow storm. The work was done quickly and the price was incredibly reasonable. When I picked up my car he requested I follow up with him on how the tires do in the snow. I did follow up with him as the tires were just as he described - reliable.

He also includes a free tire rotation with every oil change so I now know where I'm going for all my mechanical needs. I can't say enough about John's workmanship and customer service.

What a nice surprise! My car needed an oil change (overdue, I just couldn't seem to get to the dealer so I tried local) John was very friendly, professional and took me right away. The shop is located downtown so a nice walk around, a stop for soup and boom, done!

They do everything from motor replacement to rebuilding a transmission. Awesome service really it's incredible how fast they can rebuild a motor, they do it while you wait, just like getting an oil change. Extremely cheap pricing too

What can I say? John rocks. He came to our rescue on the coldest day of the year and did a great job, faster than we could have hoped for and for an affordable price. This is the way to run a great business! Thanks John and stay warm :-

John has saved my car on more than one occasion. The first time I met him it was a cold, rainy March morning and I was on my way to work when I blew a tire. John's Citgo was just up the street, so I pulled over and ran in soaking wet and asked if he could help, and he was so incredibly nice. Long story short, he was able to order me new tires and have my car ready to go by the time I got out of my shift at work, and his prices were totally reasonable. I've been back to him a few times for various issues, and he has always been very efficient and hasn't overcharged me. I've never had a problem recur after he has fixed it. Yes, the gas there might be a bit more expensive than a self serve place (John's Citgo is full serve), but it's worth the few extra pennies to support this great local gas station & repair shop, and if you ever have any problems with your car, John's the guy to see.
