Steve W.

Business Owner

John’s service center started in a Mobil gas station in Torrance in 1972. My brother John and I were always interested in working on car so we teamed together. Later moved from Torrance to the Mobil gas station in Manhattan beach in 1979, the corner of Manhattan beach blvd. and Sepulveda. In 1983, Mobil oil lost their lease, requiring our relocation to our present location at 210. s. Sepulveda. 1990 with other interest at hand, John then sold our business to me of which have been the sole owner for the past 23 plus years.

We have had super luck taking our car to John’s. We had a quote from the local dealership that service our make of car!!! A huge bill would have been coming to us. We took it to John’s instead and he saved us $ 4.000!!! Won’t go any where else! They are the best.

Steve is a superstar. I didn’t think guys like him existed anymore. Totally professional, quick problem solver, doesn’t overcharge and fixes things above and beyond. A real pleasure. My RV broke a few blocks from their shop, he sent one of his guys over to get it to the shop without a tow truck, and got it back to us within hours. I couldn’t recommend this service center more. 5 stars!

This place was recommended by a friend and another shop. They were right on. Honest, courteous, and timely. They are a community feel shop and they deliver. My car needed breaks and they replaced them for me. I provided the parts but parts were defective. They replaced defective parts at no added charge. I’m not saying they’ll do that for you but they did it for me. So I highly recommend them.

John’s auto service is the best around. Steve cares for your car the same way he cares about his own cars. He is awesome and super nice. The workers are friendly and make you feel at home. They are hard working and results are great.

I’ve been coming here for about 2 – 3 years and I initially began bring my car in when I was consistently quoted anywhere from 10−30% under competitor’s estimates (and I had not informed them of the prior estimates). They’re always honest about the prices and the least expensive mode of repair and my car comes back washed and dried! I also work longer hours and occasionally need to pick up my car after hours, in which case they charge me over the phone and leave my keys and receipt in a location predetermined. Finally, great bedside manner. They’re always happy to give me a lift home when dropping my car off and I get funny jokes and conversation the whole ride. A +

We have been loyal customers of John’s for three years. Their customer service is impeccable, and their rates are fair and reasonable. My car wouldn’t start today (battery) and my husband was out of town. In a panic, I called Johns. Steve sent two men over to get my car for me and had it repaired by 5 pm. They had also taken my car through the car wash as a bonus. If you want fantastic small town service in this big city, I recommend John’s hands down!

John’s Service Center was great! I had to replace my headlight and they did it for less than all the other places I had called. They were also able to fit me in last minute and they had my headlight fixed within 15 – 20 minutes. Thank you!

Something has gone terribly wrong with this place. I have been a customer for several years. But it seems like John’s Service Center has become another one of those shyster ripoffs. First, the cost went sky high. They charged nearly $ 2000 for two strut replacements. Second, my car was worse after I picked it up. It leaked fluid and squeaked badly. Third, my squeegie went missing that was inside the car. They eventually fixed the leaky struts. But they quoted an estimate and later charged $ 200 more at check-​out. When I went back to the owner to complain, all he said was that he would look for the squeegie and never called me back. The other reviews here mentioned Casey. Well he’s gone I found out. I don’t know the circumstances but it does not bode well for this place. John’s Service Center has gone way down hill and it’s time to move on to look for another mechanic.

Best auto mechanic I’ve ever been to. The guys who work there are totally honest. I’ve been taking my cars there for over 20 years and will never go anywhere else. Steve and Casey are the best there is.

«A good mechanic is hard to find!» Everyone who talks about getting their vehicle serviced says the same ol’ crap! I’ve been going to John’s for a couple years now and I will never take any piece of my fleet anywhere else. The garage is clean and organized which I think is tough to do when working on vehicles. I’ve always dealt with Steve (owner) and he makes an extra effort to make me feel good about leaving the care of my truck in his hands. I’m not sure about price because I’ve never had the same problem twice, when he fixes it, it’s fixed! But I do know that when I get my total, I’m happy with it!
Will I again… Most Def, I just hope it’s not too often!
