We fix only what your car actually needs, nothing more.
Our story
Johnny's Auto Repair Shop has been part of the neighborhood for a long time. Customers who came in under the shop's original namesake, Johnnie, still bring their cars in today under Eric, who now runs the shop with the same care.
Eric only fixes what actually needs fixing. Sometimes that means telling a customer their car is fine as is. When something is wrong, he explains it plainly, works to keep the price fair, and often has the car back on the road the same day.
From routine maintenance to a stubborn, years-long problem on an older Toyota, the goal is the same: honest diagnosis, solid work, and a shop you can call again the next time something comes up.
What customers say
“Eric and everyone at the shop are the most caring mechanics I have ever been too. Every time anything goes wrong with my car, I give him a call and he can usually fix it within the day and gives me the most fair price. He fixes only the things that need to be fixed and he's always trying to find ways to make the end price as affordable as possible.”
“I've been going to Johnnie's back when Johnnie owned it, lol! So a long time. We continue to go under the ownership and management of Eric and would never go anywhere else. Sometimes he recommends something we didn't know needed to be done, sometimes he says 'you don't need that,' and always he does excellent work and is quick, personable, and reasonable.”
“The moment I was able to get my car back, I brought it straight to him and he had it fully repaired in under 24 hours. Not only was the work fast and impeccable, but the pricing was incredibly fair. He charged exactly what was needed and not a cent more.”
