Applied for a job to this place on Indeed and I followed up with several e-mails and a direct phone call. Never called me back or got back in touch. If youre not interested at least have the common decency to say why and dont ignore people. Its not very professional to ignore potential employees.

We had a stripped lug that was going to be a real pain in time and price to get fixed. Instead of ordering parts John fixed the problem all by himself and we got the truck back the next day—AWESOME!Thanks guys!

John and Johnny are great. We have utilized them for several of our cars and always feel confident with the results.Needing to buy a new used car, we went to John’s Auto Service to do a complete inspection of the vehicle. They provided great feedback with a detailed summary and timing of future repairs that would be necessary.We always feel confident coming here and we know we will see great results.

Heard about John from my friend and I am very glad that he sent me his way. My 2013 Chevy Avalanche had multiple sensors going off and John addressed it and gave me other mechanical advice. Been looking for a good mechanic for 10 years now and his honesty and consideration of his customers will keep me coming back.

We have a small business and operate 9 company vehicles, For years we had struggles to find a company that we felt was honest not too expensive and willing to take care of our truck in a timely fashion. Johns Auto Service is the best company we have ever dealt with. Honesty is one of the most important traits when it comes to a service company and they certainly have that. We love dealing with Johns and would recommend them to anyone.Mike RyanPremier Ophthalmic Service

John & Johnnie are awesome!! My husbands Ecosport needed rear brakes pretty badly and they got us in right away and they stepped right up! We dropped it off at the end of one day and had it ready the next afternoon and they even threw in installing a headlight bulb that my husband had laying in the front seat. How awesome was that? !!Their customer service, quality and value are amazing. I couldnt imagine anyone else doing a better job. I always feel genuinely appreciated when I go there too - they never make me feel like just a dumb woman. Thanks again John & Johnnie - you guys are the best!!

Trusting all our vehicles to Johns is easy. The service is thorough, professional, fairly priced & timely. They always completely explain the work & stand behind it. Johns Automotive is a friendly family-owned business that cares about & for its customers, & its the reason weve used their services for years.

Review №19

I’m not here to slam this business, but rather to report on 2 separate family instances of gross overcharging. One on my father’s radiator repair and one on an estimate for my vehicle. My engine temp light went on and because they were nearby and I was panicked, I went there. The diagnostic, regardless if you accept their estimate for repair is $125.00. This wasn’t made clear as many don’t charge that fee, but in fairness, I didn’t ask. The issue with my vehicle was the thermostat. Because I didn’t know better, I called a family member because the estimate seemed super high. I also checked across Google and local area mechanics. They were double the price. I quickly picked up my car, paid the $125.00 diagnostic and took the vehicle nearby for a total charge of $412.00 with tax. They also did a free diagnostic just in case. My family member only realized after my experience that they were charged over double for the repair. I don’t care what they tried to mansplain at me...this is predatory and there simply no excuse. Buyer beware.

My husband & I as well as our family members have had the privilege of using John’s Auto Service for more than 30+ years. John was our mechanic when they were located in Homewood and now in Frankfort. The family owned business is truly a blessing. Their honesty, integrity, and ability to explain repairs are genuine and a business we can always count on. Satisfied customers is truly what they are all about. There is no one else we trust our car with. We were so excited when his son joined the business.Jodie & Jeff Virene

Great! I was scheduled for a free brake inspection. They were honest and informed me that the squeaking I had begun hearing while braking was not coming from bad pads or rotors. He gave me an explanation and saved me money. He also squeezed me in for an oil change that I did not have an appointment for.

Review №23

We had a bad experience with our insurance affiliated shop after my wifes car was involved in an accident. The shop reinstalled a damaged tire and the car pulled hard to the right. We then took the car to a Toyota dealership who replaced the tire but couldnt align the car. After two shops being unable to fix our car, the insurance company allowed us to bring the car to a shop of our choice. After reading several reviews on Johns shop I knew this was where I wanted to bring the car. That was confirmed when I pulled up and noticed they were working on a classic late 60s Chevelle. If someone trusted that car to this shop, I could trust my family sedan. Inside I met a couple who had bringing their cars to John over the past 20 years. John was personable and honest, exactly what I expect out of a family owned shop. Within a couple days we had our car back and running just as it was prior to the accident. Johns team diagnosed and replaced a lower control arm and ball joint then aligned the car to spec. Even through the frustration of having our car with multiple shops who couldnt diagnose and fix our car, were happy we found a trustworthy mechanic who well continue to use in the future.

The staff at Johns Auto Service are always friendly and honest about what needs to be fixed. They dont try to sell you on unnecessary repairs but do inform you of things you may need to fix down the road so you can try to plan for it. Will always take my vehicles here!

Ive been taking my cars to Johns for close to 20 years. Both John, the father, and John, the son, are friendly and always professional. They provide exceptional customer service, going above & beyond when it wasnt strictly necessary. They demonstrate honesty in their dealings with me, including telling me when questioned repairs were not needed. I place my car care wholly in their trust, which they have honored. And, I never had to sacrifice cost for service & integrity; they are extremely competitive. I recommend them wholeheartedly at any opportunity.

They correctly repaired and fixed the damage caused by another shops shoddy, improperly installed repair. It was quick and fairly priced. It seems very hard to find honest trustworthy people in any job these days, but I feel I have found one of the rare few here.

I was having issues with my muffler and had it repaired at another auto shop. I continued to have the same issues a few days after the repair. I took it to Johns Auto Service and they were able to identify the problem and fix the issue within a few short hours. They have great customer service and will be coming back!

There is a reason everyone gives Johns 5 stars: because they are the best. No really, they are the best. They are super nice, know what they are doing and are really accommodating.I have had minor work and major work done with Johns. They put the customers needs first, and make sure the job is well done. They problem solve, and find solutions that work. I will always bring my cars there, and recommend them to family and friends.Thank you Johns Auto!

Review №45

Best mechanic around. I’ve been going to Johns Auto for years. Since moving from Homewood I make the trip out to Frankfort because the service is so consistently great. Fair prices and quality. When i had my 2006 Jeep Wrangler I would take it in for “noises” every so often. John would assure me that it was just the nature of Wranglers. My point here is that they don’t do ANY unnecessary work. I recommend them to everyone I know needing a quality mechanic!

Review №47

Technically something minor went wrong with John’s repair, and I’m still sitting down to write a glowing five-star review, which should tell you most of what you need to know. Also, I hardly ever write reviews. These guys really take care of people and stand behind their work. For the whole story, read on!I live in the Chicago area but found a used car that I wanted down in Frankfort, IL where John’s is located. I first called him for a pre-purchase inspection (needed a place near the selling dealer and saw other good reviews of John’s). For a thorough inspection (& talking me through the results by phone since I couldn’t get down there during the work week) he charged me an extremely-reasonable $45. After buying the car, I took it to John to complete most of the repairs he had recommended, which included a flush, test, and refill of the cooling system (antifreeze). A few weeks later back in Chicago, I noticed a slow antifreeze leak. Not wanting to drive all the way back to John’s, I called him and he said his repairs are warrantied and I could take to any Napa Auto Care location. So, I picked one in Chicago, confirmed they’d do Napa warranty work, and took the car to them. It turned out that one of the hose clamps John had put back on the radiator had come loose again (which can happen, especially in a car as old as this one), but when the garage here in Chicago called me, they informed me that they had already done the work but that “Napa said it wasn’t a warranty issue because it wasn’t a faulty part.” So, they said I would have to pay them for the work and then go get my money back from John. Not thinking that was right, I called John and he agreed they shouldn’t be charging me. He then called the other garage directly on my behalf, and when they refused to not charge me, JOHN PAID THE OTHER GARAGE FOR THE WORK. If that’s not standing behind your work and taking care of your customers, I don’t know what is. I highly recommend these guys and even though I live an hour away, I’ll strongly consider making the drive if I ever need a serious repair.

Johns shop is the cleanest and most well kept I have ever seen. This factor goes hand in hand with the level of his service he and his staff provides. Brought my Audi in to repair several issues. This was done honestly and in a timely fashion with daily updates from John. Prices are reasonable and I couldnt have asked for better service/communication. I will be bringing my car in for any future items that may arise.

John is trustworthy, fair, and gives great advice! He will give you his honest opinion about whether repairs are essential to the safe operation of your car or merely optional. He doesnt try to talk you into unnecessary bells and whistles -- just what needs to be done. I highly recommend Johns Auto Service!

John and Johnny are very passionate about their work. They take the time necessary to inspect your vehicle for issues and fix them properly. Two great things about the shop are that they use state of the art equipment and they take pictures for you so you can see problems for yourself.They are great people to do business with

Ive gone to John for many years for the maintenance and repair of all my luxury cars. I recommend him often as someone whos very knowledgeable, fair and willing to explain what may or may not be needed. John and his staff are always pleasant, patient and willing to help, even if you get stranded. The new location is spacious and inviting. I look forward to many more years of excellent service from him and now his son, too.

Every experience at Johns is a positive one. The service is always dependable. They have my trust to the point that I simply defer to their judgement by default. Theyve gone above & beyond, jumping through hoops to make sure our cars are safe & reliable prior to cross-country road trips. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Johns Auto.

John has taken care of my cars for over 8 years. He is knowledgeable, always honest and professional. I have had different mechanics over the years, some good, some so-so. John and now his son, Johnny, who is learning the business with his dad are top notch 100% of the time. John has more than once solved a repair mystery that other mechanics mis-diagnosed and he corrected the situation. Youll never go wrong with Johns Auto.
