My first time here and what an amazing experience! I had an emergency this morning with my starter and was referred to him by AAA and he was able to fit me right in. Continued to keep me hydrated on this hot day. Did not oversell and was very honest and transparent about my car needs. I also learned that he has been a staple in Anaheim for years and has continued to be a trusted mechanic.

So happy to find this location, especially on a Friday when everyone else is busy. John offered coffee and water and invited me to the work area to see what needed to be worked on and replaced. That's something no one else has done before. I ran into one of his regular clients in the waiting area who told me she's been with him for over 20 years. Thanks John's Auto Repair, you gained a new customer!

This is a very good and honest mechanic. He literally saved my car. It was making noise especially going uphill, and when I explained the problem he took it inside and checked the engine oil. There was not a drop of oil in the engine. He put 4 quarts in, checked the coolant level and we took it for a test drive. The problem was gone. He only charged me for oil. No other charge. He is good and honest. I recommend him.

This was the second mechanic I brought my car into and although he was unable to figure out the problem, because of course my car ran fine there and the diagnostic came back fine, he was very friendly and helpful. Showed me everything. Didn't charge for a diagnostic. Checked my oil while I was there. Very honest mechanic.

What a blessing to have an angel like Muhammed. He is hardworking and honest, he will tell you what is wrong with your car and won't make up things to fix unnecessary things. Believe me, I know. He is humble and welcoming and always has coffee and water ready for his customers. I drive 30 min just to take my car to him. When you walk into his shop you can see lots and lots of awards that he has gotten. Go in, you won't regret it.
