  Had to get a new rim and tire put on my car. Called when he opened in the morning and he was able to work it in before lunch. Quick, easy, and loads cheaper than taking it to the dealer. Support local!

  I brought a Subaru Forester into this place late last fall. My car would stall after being driven for about ten miles. They charged me $400 and told me it was fixed. I went back three more times with the same issue. The last time Matt told everything was good to go the problem was fixed, but I needed back wheel bearings. Four trips and $400 later he told me it was definitely fixed just a little wire came unplugged. Good to go for sure. Because they couldn’t fix my original problem, I took my car to dealership for my new issue. The dealer told me I did not need bearings,”whoever told you this was trying to rip you off”. My car stalled today with same problem that has been ongoing since October. I called and told them it was still not fixed and they were dishonest and not good at their job. His response was come here and say it to my face Classless and dishonest. Buyer beware!!!!

  In July 2023, on my way to work, I heard my front brakes, metal to metal noise, coming from passenger front of my truck. I knew the company i worked for did business with John's auto clinic, and i dropped my truck off that morning and called the shop later in the morning when they were open, dropped off my keys, and told John that I thought the front brake line maybe the issue if the front rotor, passenger side was dug into. Evidently he got his wires crossed, i decided that the back brakes needed to be done, and that I didn't know what I was talking about because the front brakes were good. Saturday 2/162024, took the truck to Jones Ford for transmission service and oil change. They decided to rotate the tires to, that John's Auto Clinic installed, saying i had to many plugss in my tires for him to repair them and so he replaced them for me to.. That's twice since that my tires were off the truck since John's Auto Clinic did the front brakes i thought. Evidently John thought the back brakes were the only concern, and failed to mention that the work i thought needed to be done, requested to be done, wasn't worth doing. Jones Ford showed me the pads on the front brakes looked as if they may have been replaced, but the rotors were not, the passenger side rotor is eaten up.r really bad, meaning the passenger side brake line did need to be replaced, along with the rotors. I was charged nearly $500.00 for John to change the wrong brakes or i must of paid him nearly $500.00 to change my brake pads. Today I approached him 2/18/2024 before going to a doctor's appointment about this issue, and all i got was the back brakes to him wer the only thing and rotors needed to be changed. Previously before that, the tires were put in new just a few months earlier and there were no problems with the back brakes, rotors, or padss, and the person told me my back brakes still 50% of their life left, but he didn't think my front brakes were going to make it too much longer. 6 months later went to John's auto clinic and i know i told him what work needed to be done, that is the work i thought I was paying for, and seeing him today, he tells me the back brakes were done and they were the only brakes that needed to be done on my truck. THANK YOU JONES FORD FOR HELPING ME FIND THIS PROBLEM AND BEING HONEST ABOUT IT.

  I had minor issues with my truck as well as needing regular scheduled maintenance and tire rotation . While the dealerships and some other places had a 1 week wait time just to make an appointment , John’s Auto Clinic did the job same day with no appointment. Great quality work , the mechanic took the time to answer all my questions at pick up . Very reasonable prices . Highly recommend.

  This place caused me so many issues yesterday.I was selling a vehicle and the buyer asked if he could have it. Inspected at this shop. I am very mechanically inclined so The car has been well taken care of and kept up with. Also the shop that changes my oil thoroughly inspects it every oil change for any issues it might have, for the last five or six oil changes they have not found any type of issue with this car,so I felt there was no issue with allowing this particular shop to inspect it over for a buyer.I was asking $2700. The bluebook is anywhere from 2800 to 3500.I had it listed it below bluebook.The car has less than 160000 miles on it . The engine and transmission runs great. The suspension is in good shape. clean interior, nice exterior no dents,No alignment issues , No fluid leaks.Strong AC and heat .everything on the car works. Also The car has no major issues that would require any attention anytime soon.not to mention the car also has new brakes, new rotors, new wheel bearing ,has been extremely reliable never broken down on the road. Everything has been well-maintained as well.only thing the car was gonna be need in the near future was a couple new tires within the next six months or so.only other issue worth noting was a couple lights on the dash that we’re staying on after already having the problems corrected.so with all of this information about the car, I know this vehicle is at very sound especially when it’s priced under bluebook value. However,whatever this mechanic told my potential buyer, had my buyer thinking this car was about to explode when he turned the key.I was astonished to hear that it did not pass his inspection .. considering most of the time when you buy a car under $3000 you are bound to find a barrage of major issues which this car did not have. now I would not be upset with the Mechanic for doing a presale inspection or if he had just told the kid not to buy my car, or if he had told the buyer his opinion on the condition but what pisses me off is he told the buyer to offer me a lowball insulting price to me that was extremely unprofessional and to be , which is the reason I’m typing this review.to be honest i would’ve rather had the kid tell me he wasn’t interested over him telling me that his mechanic said to offer this ridiculously low price. even if he didn’t feel this car was perfect in his opinion. to tell the kid to lowball me was absurd.I at least know that the car is mechanically sound.considering the mechanic I take my car to that inspects my car andtells me this car does not have any issues that need to be dealt with recently, then i make the mistake of going to this reeree which says whatever he said to degrade my car without being at the very least rational about the pros and cons….it kind of tells me that this guy either exaggerates a lot or he doesn’t know what he’s doing at all.before going here I had no idea this place even existed and at first. I was thinking. Hey this might be a good place to bring my car if i have an issue that i can’t quite handle on my own since I live on the island and it’s close by. but I learned a very valuable lesson to just keep assuming this place doesn’t exist at all!! I don’t know what this guy said to my buyer nor do I even care to know all I know is whatever he said to him was far exaggerated and made the kid miss out on a really good deal on a reliable car, so how could I ever trust somebody like this to work on my vehicle without trying to bs me….no telling honestly I don’t think anybody should trust this guy either…. it was upsetting when I found out this guy told my buyer to lowball me simply rather than just saying whether he should buy it or not.caused me a bunch of issues that wasted my time.but on the bright side. I had another buyer that already came look at it with his mechanic and his mechanic said everything is solid for the price…go figure.so I don’t know what planet this dunce is on perhaps it was a power trip or something .either way I do not plan on ever going here again and you shouldn’t neither.big mistake!!!!

  I went in bc I found a nail in my tire and they were kind enough to advise me on getting the best rate for a new tire to order directly. Once it arrived, they were able to get me in and out in 20mins. Both guys were kind, courteous and professional. I would definitely recommend this business!

  Had my car towed there almost 3 weeks ago and it was never looked at. My car sat outside for almost 3 weeks with no phone calls from this shop. I called atleast twice a week to see if they had a chance to look at it so I would know what is wrong with my car and kept getting told that they are extremely busy and they would get to it in a couple days. I was told the same thing each time i called. The last time I called I was told that my car was being looked at right then and I would get a phone call when they were done looking at it. I waited two days and called them…I was told by another person that my car had not been looked at and it was still sitting outside. The owner of the shop lied to me and told me that it was being looked at and it wasn’t. My husband drove down there and confronted him about this and he said that he was busy and hadn’t had the chance to look at the car. 3 WEEKS and nothing was done. Ridiculous! No phone calls at all to let me know what was going on. I spent $100 to have it towed to them and not once did they say it will be sitting for a long time before we can tell you what’s wrong with it, never said anything to me about being too busy to look at it…and to top it off said that if it needs an engine he won’t put it in…so why is my car here then? Bottom line this guy doesn’t want to do anything more than an oil change or simple brake job. I do NOT recommend this place. STAY AWAY from this sorry excuse for a mechanic. No customer service and has one excuse after another. I had my car towed again to a place that will fix it! Terrible experience. I have NEVER had this happen before. HORRIBLE, NO EXCUSE for the way we were treated. Honesty is the best policy. IF you don’t want to do it then say you don’t want to do it. Don’t have me tow my car to you just so it can collect dust and make people mad. The only thing I can say its a good thing my husband didn’t need the car for work.

  My wife’s Honda CRV had the check engine light come on. I brought the car to John’s Auto Clinic yesterday as a first time customer. The car was ready to pick up today, less than 24 hours later. John said the problem was an easy fix and refused to charge me. He just gained a customer for life. If you’re tired of getting overcharged by dealerships for repairs, come here. This is the first fair mechanic I’ve ever met after exclusively repairing my cars at dealerships for the past 15 years.

  The people here are friendly and amazing, they also care about the customers. They do great work and get it in as quick as possible. Affordable prices on things that can be higher or take longer elsewhere. This is the only mechanic shop I will use.Services: Auto engine diagnostic
