“The reason I keep coming back to John? He’s phenomenal—dedicated to researching persistent, intermittent problems. The dealer and several foreign car specialists worked on my car repeatedly (and charged for it every time). John figured it out the first time and charged a very fair price. 

"His persistence and perseverance are what set him apart. I’m not an easy guy to satisfy, and it takes a long time for me to establish trust and rapport with someone. With him, it was easy.”  --   Bob Stroh

"He knows his customers as well as their cars. He knows what will bug me and what won’t; what I’ll want fixed and what I won’t. My wife and I both feel safe going to him.

"I’ve recommended him to several people. For some friends of ours, he’s kept an incredibly high-mileage car running for a long time.”  --  Dino Germano

"John is trustworthy and honest. He tells me exactly what's wrong, exactly what he will need to do, and he doesn't overcharge me. 

"When I bought a new car, I called him from several different dealers and he gave me his opinion on the cars I was considering. I’ve recommended him to a ton of friends and family.”   --   Kathryn Haines

"I kept returning to John after my first visit because I learned I could trust him and that I wouldn’t get any B.S.! With other mechanics, I’d get my car back and there would be clips broken, stuff left under the hood, and everything left dirty and sloppy. With John, my car comes back the way it’s supposed to.

"I’d tell any potential new client that John’s shop is THE place to go. Tell him what’s wrong and he’ll tell you what you need. He knows what he's talking about.”   --   Jim Long

The fact that John is a master mechanic is obvious right away, and it inspires confidence. He’s the best auto technician I’ve ever had!”   --   Mary Varley

"John looked at my ’85 Honda and said, ‘This car is a baby. Take care of it and it will last a long, long time.’ And he has been a major factor in making that happen.

"I especially like his straightforwardness. I’ve recommended him to 10 or 12 other people, including an older neighbor who was very pleased with his service. I like him and trust him.”   --   Harold Fox

“The first things I noticed in John's shop were all his diplomas and certifications. I was excited to find a well-trained mechanic. He’ll be as technical as you want him to be, or he can explain things in layman’s terms. He knows the car inside and out; he doesn’t just read the manual.

I have a Nissan with 300,000 miles on it. He tuned up the block and welded some cracks and enabled the car to not only keep running, but even get better gas mileage! If someone asked me about going to John for auto service, I’d say ‘Go! Don’t waste your money anywhere else.’”    --   Carol King

“I’ve been extremely pleased with John’s work. You can sense his seriousness about your car—he takes it personally. 

"I have two vehicles and each has more than 200,000 miles on it. It’s hard to find a good technician who won’t B.S. you or try to take you. When it comes to John, I’d put myself on the line to recommend him because of his workmanship and trustworthiness.”   --  Pete Suneson

"One of the things that drew me to John was that he wasn’t afraid to take care of an old car. Eventually, though, he convinced me to get rid of my 22-year-old Oldsmobile. He told me that it was time to stop putting money into it, and he reviewed my new car to make sure it was okay. 

"I’d tell anyone looking for a new automotive technician that going to John would be the smart thing to do. He’ll give you an honest answer, and he wrote the book on cars.”   --   Dottie Furtado

"I got burned by other repair shops—they didn’t do the work right and they overcharged. I finally brought my car to John’s shop and now I feel like he’s the greatest thing since peanut butter and jelly!

"I used to fret about car repair but now I just bring it to John and know it will be fixed. My husband and I owned a small company so we understand how critical customer service is—and that’s why we bring our business to John. He takes care of us, he’s a professional, and he is one of a kind.” --   Claudia Jackson

"Other repair shops are dirty. John’s is clean and organized, and everything is more economical as well. I’ve never had to go back and get something ‘re-fixed.’ 

"I bought my car with 18,000 miles on it. Now it’s at 160,000 and runs like brand new. I’d tell anyone considering going to John's shop to definitely go; he fixes the cars right, he’s thorough, he’s honest, and he doesn’t overcharge.”  --   Harriet Brady



“John has a conscience and he's genuine and straight up. He’ll look you in the eye and tell you the truth. 

"I own a service business and he works on my fleet. He’s stayed late, come in early, and worked on weekends so I don’t have any down time. And…I can send my wife and sons in there and know that they won’t get taken.”   --   Jack Whitely 

“I bring my vehicles to John because of the quality and integrity of his service. I like having him as my automotive consultant because I know I’ll get an honest answer and good quality work. 

"When my family and I went on a trip recently, I had a lot less stress than I would have otherwise because John checked out our van ahead of time and gave it a clean bill of health.”  --   George Olesinski

“I was having problems with the dealer—they’d charge for a consultation, couldn’t get me in until a week later, and I saw a lot of slipshod work going on. A family friend recommended I go see John.

 My husband and brothers were mechanics and I like knowing the name of the person working on my car. John is true blue and not phony. It’s encouraging to have someone around who knows what the heck he is doing. I just wish he’d open a body shop next door!”   --   Yvonne Horton
