I called CJ auto Friday to inquire about an issue I was having with my RV. I have to say that I have never received the exceptional customer service help I received that day anywhere else. Craig helped me over the phone and pinpointed the issue right away. His courtesy and superior customer service skills far exceeded any other company that deals with RV problems within a 100 mile radius. He called me back to further inquire on my issue and offered "free of charge" recommendations that would solve my current situantion. I highly recommend this company. Thank you for your help. The boiling battery issue was resolved thanks to you.

A great mechanic that you can trust period. Honesty, integrity and Craig is ALWAYS available if you need him. I bring all of my cars to Craig and wouldn't think of taking them anywhere else. Great employees all around as well, friendly and always offering advice. - Edward T. (5 star review on Yelp)

Craig Johnson's Automotive is the best repair shop I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with.   Craig and his team of technicians are certified in all aspects of automotive repair and make absolutely sure your cars maintenance is up to date. They never make unnecessary repairs and use the best car parts.   This is one of the few car repair and maintenance places you will ever find.   They are so good that I drive from Riverside to their place in Rowland Heights to have my car serviced. - Roxanne S. (5 star review on Yelp)

Our whole family has taken our cars to Craig Johnson's over the years and we have always been given excellent, professional service. We have never had a problem with the work done on vehicles ranging from sedans, E150 van, and pick-up trucks. CJA is a family run business with integrity! - Dianne T. (5 star review on Yelp)

Craig Johnson has been taking care of my cars for quite some time. Excellent work and making sure everything is to the customer's satisfaction!!! - Jesse R. (5 star review on Facebook)

Last week I had my vehicle serviced for a right front-end sound. Craig & Larry are great at keeping you informed of your cars issues. Craig pinpointed the cause of the problem, how long it would take to fix and of course, the cost.  Whether it is any of our three cars cars, I know that when Craig & his team will be returned with issues repaired. I have been coming to Craig Johnson's Automotive for many years and he is my go-to neighborhood mechanic.  Thanks Craig, Larry and Amanda for the great and friendly service! - Frank F.

Been a customer of Craig Johnson automotive for years. They are professional, honest, and reliable. - Anna R. (5 star review on Facebook)

First and foremost, Craig Johnson is a great mechanic to work with. He is extremely communicative, texting and calling back promptly when he says he will. On top of that, he explains the issues with your car concisely and in a language anybody can understand. I brought my PT Cruiser in here after it broke down and refused to stay on, and two days afterwards Craig was able to explain plenty of issues my car was spouting out. Instead of saying that everything needs to be replaced though, he explained that one part of my car was shorting out and that it would cause cascading errors to appear on the system. Due to money issues, I wasn't able to get it repaired at this time, but Craig gave me a detailed list of what he inspected, what he thought needed to be repaired first, and the prices that went along with the repairs he recommended. I was worried that the mechanic would be upset that I couldn't get the car fixed, and that I needed to bring it back to my house. He was understanding, polite, and downright friendly over the entire transaction. You never hear people say this, but I look forward to bringing my car to this garage again! - Casey P.

When I was having a long-time engine problem, a mechanic friend of mine recommended Craig Johnson Automotive. I'm so glad he did, and here's why. My lucky break came -- my friend's recommendation to go to Craig Johnson Automotive. Guess what? Craig fixed the problem in a day! And lo and behold: No cracked distributor, just a faulty circuit board somewhere and voila, problem totally solved! No $500, PLUS LABOR at who knows how much extra on top of that. Total price: $425.00. Now you might say that my savings weren't that great. A couple of hundred, maybe, right? But just think: Had I trusted the dealership, I would've forked out all that money to install a new distributor and still I wouldn't have fixed the problem. I would've right back to square one with a new distributor but still a crappy running car. Not to mention the fact that I'd already paid them the $250, which I might have avoided paying had I known about Craig Johnson Automotive beforehand. But once Craig was done, my car was running like new again! So I finally got my car back after who knows how many years of aggravation and frustration, and for me that's absolutely priceless. Thanks, Craig! - Kent S. (5 star review on Yelp)

CJ Auto is one of the best in the business! Highly recommend them! - Craig W. (5 star review on Facebook)

I have recently had trouble with my vehicle. The dealer wants to charge way to much. The first mobile mechanic flaked out, the second made the repair but incorrectly. A friend took me to Craig Johnson Automotive ( clouds parting, beams of sunlight and do I hear an angel chorus?) he took his time,correctly identified the issues corrected the previous mechanic’s repairs and helped me with the dealer to have repairs covered by an extended warranty. Craig is knowledgeable, He has a large wall in his office covered with credentials and certifications. He is patient, professional and explains in detail what’s going on with your car, why it’s happening and how to fix it. He even helped me to get to get the car smogged. I highly recommend Craig Johnson he is trustworthy. - Kathy B. (5 star review on Facebook)

As someone in an industry that is often maligned, not trusted and the butt of many jokes Craig Johnson and his shop stand out. I can't say enough about their integrity that allows us to trust them and be able to make informed decisions when in an automotive crises. This makes coming to them for all the minor problems and regular maintenance an easy decision. Craig goes above and beyond the everyday to see to it that the work is done right and that you are totally satisfied with their work and performance. - Patrick P. (5 star review on Yelp)

Craig runs one of the best automotive shops in the business.  They are thorough, professional and most importantly honest. I have been going to him for repair needs for about five years. I highly recommend this business. - Thanh S. (5 star review on Yelp)

My father has been a patron of Craig Johnson Automotive for years, as the go to auto shop. Recently, my 2010 Camaro had engine failure. Chevrolet want my first born child as collateral to replace the engine. Craig quote me a better price towed the car away from the dealership the next day. Craig Johnson Automotive ordered 2016 version of the engine, dropped it in, and returned my car in LESS THEN TWO WEEKS! This company is deserving of every dollar spent. I brought the car back for a checkup. Craig discovered my right front brake was on backwards. He fixed it. Worth every dollar spent. - Elliot C.

My husband and I are new to the area. A few months ago he needed some work done on his car and he found Craig Johnson Automotive. He was impressed with their work. A few weeks ago, my car was having some trouble. My car needed to be towed to the shop and they took my car in on short notice. They offered to take me home after dropping my car off, but I had planned to walk home since I live close by. They called me to make sure I had gotten home safely. I was kept informed every step of the way with phone calls. Craig sent me a PDF file with the needed repairs in order of priority with each repair separately listed with price. At no time was I pressured to have any of the work done. When I picked up my car after repairs were completed, Craig again went over everything with me. I truly felt like I was an appreciated customer. - Jaclyn V.

Craig Johnson Auto is honest, fair, and they look out for their customers. I've been servicing my cars here for years now and never had any issues. Thanks Craig Johnson Automotive! - Chris S.

Always pleased with Craig and his team. Honest, fair and very knowledgeable. I've trusted my cars to Craig for many years. I won't go anywhere else. - Rhonda T.

I recently went to see the pro's at CJ Automotive for my 30K oil change and service to my 2016 Tundra. A day or so later I had smelled a foul odor that I assumed was from the antibacterial spray used on my newly installed cabin filter. I called the shop and I was assured that the smell would go away in a day or so and still the smell lingered. I grew puzzled as nothing like this had ever occurred. I return to have this remedied only to discover I was the one at fault. The entire team converged on my vehicle and began the search. Tony was the one to discover the culprit. He could smell the strong pungent odor behind the driver's seat. As I lifted up the rear rubber floor mat Tony's eagle eye spotted something and said "Hey, what's that?" I looked where Tony pointed and say a decomposing red potato. It had fallen out of my grocery bag days before and began to dehydrate. This experience is yet another positive one as a longtime customer with Craig Johnson Automotive! - J.R.

I came across Craig Johnson on Yelp and it looked good based on reviews. I used the Yelp feature to get a quote and Craig himself got back to me very quickly. I needed my brakes replaced on my Nissan. He gave me a quote based on my information. I dropped off my car while on my lunch hour and Larry calls me 2 and half hours later and says they're done and the amount was exactly what I was quoted. Great, quick service and family owned business. Will be back if I need work on my car. - Matt P.

Very courteous staff. On time service and they performed a thorough job.  5 Star Review by Pat
