Joe and his staff run an honest, high-quality, and fairly-priced business. Hell give you options to work with based on how much you want to invest or how much you can afford, which was incredibly valuable to me during the financial hardship of the pandemic. Hes honest about what they can and cant do, will never try to upsell or use manipulative sales techniques to skimp on work and maximize profits. He does the job right at a reasonable price, and will always work with you to provide whatever he can within your budget.We had a major engine issue in a car that was (rarely used, so a slow oil leak went unnoticed until it was too late) and ended up having to get the whole engine block replaced, and he quoted me a $1000 less than any of his competitors, which I quoted with 10 different shops prior to getting the recommendation to go to him. He did the work as quickly as possible and even threw in a towing job for free because he knew it was a major expense and any money I could save was a huge help at the time. It was finished within just a few days, and has been working fantastic ever since. A few months later I had to go back to get some other minor work, and then again recently for some issues from a hit-and-run while I was parked on the street, and he helped both times, with the same excellent experience, reasonable rates, and high quality service Id come to expect.Great people running an excellent shop that gives small town service and quality in the middle of the city. I would recommend his shop to anyone doing any kind of standard repair work, and I wont go anywhere else.
I needed my Valve Cover Gaskets replaced. The service was excellent, and the price was fair. I received my car back the following day.. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in need of Automotive repair. they will be doing my Ac unit next.
Nice Pa and Sons auto shop. I needed my alternator swapped out on my 2010 Honda Accord. I started to do it myself, but was getting frustrated because I didnt have the right tools. Im glad I took my car to Joes shop. Had my alternator replaced, and my car was ready to go in a couple hours. He gave me a great price and didnt try to sell me on other unneeded repairs. Ill take my vehicles back to his shop whenever I have problems.
Wont take my car anywhere else. Joe and his family are honest, hardworking people.
Never going anywhere else again, unless Im outside Long Beach or if theyre closed. Joe, Vera and their staff give great and genuine service🧿Thank you⚡thank you!
Been taking cars to Joes off and on since he used to be on Atlantic. Great guy, lovely local family!
Like this place, the owner and I think its his wife are so nice. They dont charge you for services not needed. Will go back.
Omg...Best place to go and get your car repaired. The family is genuine, loving and honest. I have been a happy client for nearly 4 years.
Got a nail in my tire, Pep Boys (where I bought the tires) told me it wasnt covered under the warranty and Id have to drop the car off for something like 7 hours. For a tire plug. Called Joes Auto Center because theyre near my house; they had me in and out in about 15 minutes, no charge. Clean-looking shop, everyone I talked to was super nice.
Joe is the most honest mechanic in town. Excellent turn around time too!!! If youre looking for an all in one mechanic shop Joes is where to go!!
Very honest, family owned business. They are very transparent of the work that needs to be done (no unessecary recommendations) and are initially accommodated to your needs.
They have always taken great care for my cars
Been coming here for years intially based on reviews by others and now Im a long time customer, three different vehicles and they will be honest about what necessary to get your vehicle back on the road.
Great shop will keep your car or truck running well with honest work. Turnaround times are quick and cost are very well priced. Its good to call ahead but they can sometimes accommodate you just dropping off a car too.
Great place to have your car worked on. Family owned and Ive been going there for years
An honest and trustworthy mechanic. Always talking me out of unecessary repairs and giving great car advice.There is nothing like a good mechanic that you know you can rely on and trust. I bring my car to him and dont need to be worried about being cheated and mislead.Joe is one in a million. I am am greatful and relieved that G-d blessed me with such a sincere mechanic.
For 3 years my 2009 Ford Escape has made a rattling noise in the engine. I’ve been to 6 different auto shops and have been told it’s the belt and they could change it for $1500, it’s the radiator ($1,000), nothings wrong with it, etc. etc. Nothing against my car but I wasn’t going to put $1,200 into a 12 year old car..I took it to Joe, without an appointment to have my oil changed and mentioned it in passing as I was leaving. I was called 40 minutes later telling me it was the timing belt and he could replace it for $315 and change all my fluids. It was also done by 9 am the next day.I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with the service we received. My husband and I have not heard my car this quiet in years, we joked that we took the wrong car home. So thankful to have found Joe’s auto shop. We will be loyal customers as long as we live in southern ca.
Great family shop. Only performs the work you need.
Take car to get work done. He is best.
Very professional good and fast service, the one thing that was nice that they did for me was they covered a loss that was my fault on a part they order for me, was very nice about it, that would have cost me more money so I was very please.
I researched a Honda mechanic in Long Beach and found Joes Auto Center. His business had good reviews so I sent my Mother there to repair her car. She had a damaged oil pan that needed repair. She called me at home (Mexico) and told me that they did an excellent job at a great price. She said that they were VERY POLITE,, didnt pressure her,, were very honest,, and since she lived close by, they picked her up. Shes very excited to have a new regular mechanic for her car (2002 Honda Civic). They service all types of vehicles. Thanks Joe (and Family/employees) for taking GOOD care of my Mom!!! Very much appreciated!!!
They have a reasonable price for what they have to do to fix your car
Cool mom and pop shop. Very courteous and helpful
Good place auto repair.
The BEST auto center you will find in all of SoCal. Joes Auto Center is a labor of love by Vera and Joes family. They are honest, kind, and genuine people. My husband and I have been taking our cars there for 10 years now and we wont stop even though we now live a few hours away.
My car’s check engine light turned on, I called Joe’s and they were able to get my car in that same day. They checked it out and called within a couple of hours to let me know what was going on, and told me that they’d have it fixed that day (meaning they’d even stay a little past closing to get it all finished). They were very nice and seemed very reasonably priced. I would definitely go back and highly recommend to anyone!
Been going here for years. Trustworthy and affordable. Family run. Nice people.I dont know enough about cars to rate a mechanic based on skill or price. I judge mechanics on whether they do what they say they will, whether the deliver service promptly, and how upfront they are with me. Joe and his family score five stars across the board.Over the years, Joe has offered to bill me a month later to help with a big $$$ repair. He has loaned me a car computer thingy for a weekend to help pass a smog test. And most importantly he listens when I tell him I dont want to fix every little thing... But to just keep my old car running.I plan to keep returning to Joes.
Great experience, they are very friendly. Isaiah was my mechanic and he was clean and fast. I highly recommend Joes auto. Very reasonable prices. Keep up the good work guys.
Super awesome guys! I got a nail in my tire and needed a plug quick but it was already 6 and they were closing up. I pulled in just to ask and lucky for me they were willing to help me plug my tire! Thank you!!
Trustworthy mechanic. When you drop off your car and get it back, you know the job is done. Awesome and nice people. Its the cleanest shop that you will ever see. I mentioned that to Joe and he said that he prides himself on that. Clean and efficient.
Great people, excellent service!!!
This is the best auto repair shop Ive experienced in Long Beach. I trust everything they tell me and their prices are reasonable. I brought a Toyota Matrix to the dealer for a recall, and got an 8 page listing of all the problems i should fix asap for about $2500. Laughed, brought my car to Joes, rhey looked at the report, chucked it, and did the work i actually needed (in reality a lot less) for $850.Go their a few times and they know you, very friendly
I, and many others, have been going to Joes Auto for years. I read about Joes so long ago and I know why it gets so many stars. You are treated right, priced fairly and he and his staff always do what they say they will do. That is a precious attribute these days!
Joe and his family are always present and honest people. We are so fortunate to. know them. Thank you Joe!!!! And our cars keeps running and running.
Joe Fixed my jeep fast . Hes an honest mechanic and I definitely recommend this shop! The only place I will be taking all my cars to from now on.
Great shop, fair pricing, and excellent turn around time. My car was ready later the same day. Joe even replaced my headlight free of charge!
We were in a jam and Joe took awesome care of us and has fair pricing and was a pleasure to deal with and talk too.I would recommend this shop to anyone. I have never written a review until now, I was that pleased.. Thanks Joe!!
I recommend them if you need your car fixed thats the place to go
I have been taking my cars to Joes Auto Center for many years! The quality, work ethic, and expertise that Joe and all his mechanics employ is outstanding. Joe is NEVER satisfied unless the work meets his high expectations. This is an OUTSTANDING business. I would highly recommend Joes Auto Center!
These guys are very honest and do good work. They worked overtime to get my car back to me the same day. Thanks Joe’s Auto
I was a mechanic years ago, I know what to look for, and this shop is AWESOME. They genuinely care for taking care of people. I am really impressed by their professionalism and genuine care for their clients and work they do. Highly Recommended!!!!!
Good. Place excellent place
Very honset shop if he cant fix it no one can
The Best Auto mechanic in Long Beach very honest and has great service.
I was very comfortable with the service and the attention I received thanks. They are very honest and the prices are fair!
When is comes to mechanic shops its like getting a hair cut . you go in knowing what you what and how you want it done and then come out looking like crap because they do what THEY want. Joes auto center is the total opposite! this place is really great . the owner is awesome and very honest. Firestone wanted to charge me double for the price of the parts. when I went to Joes and he told me the real price, I was so upset at firestone and their dishonesty. you can tell Joe cares about his customers and their needs. hes a very hard working man that knows how to get things done and the right way. I 100% recommend this shop. thanks Joe :)
Finally a mechanic I can trust! Theyre a very honest and straight to the point family business. They tell you exactly whats wrong with your car and they even gave me a discount!!
Wouldnt even help me
He cut the hose to my motor for the power steering fluid and came back with excuses that my power steering hose was leaking, took it to auto zones and everyone automatically knew they had cut the hose with a knife .
These guys have amazing customer service, excellent price and very organized management.
I went to Joes and i didnt regret it. The Tecnic is very profesional and confident to say in all of the LBC. He always doing his best.
There is no reason to get car Services anywhere else here in Long Beach, unless the owner says it himself..
Joes auto is reliable, quick, thorough, but most important, reasonably priced. Weve been taking our cars here for a few years now, and there is no place better.
Super friendly staff and they have a great discount for new customers!
The worst service ever....dont go here Joe is not a good mechanic...... He is dishonest.
Joe and Vera, YOU and YOUR FAMILY ARE IN OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS.
We have been using their services since 2007. Joe is trustworthy and reliable.
Very freindly staff, honest and professional.
My condolences with you and your family at this time.😢
