I needed new brakes on my 2013 Kia Forte, so I checked Yelp and found Craig Johnson Automotive.  He had 10 reviews and 9 of them were five star, the other one was a 4 star rating.  That's really good so I took my car there.

This place of business deserves this very high rating!  Craig met me himself and explained every step of the process carefully.  He has the right equipment and did a superior job.  He provided me with a detailed estimate and then did the work as agreed.  His daughter keeps his books and this family run auto repair shop, gets my support.  I will bring my car in here from now on - for everything I need to have done.

They are truly professional, friendly and trustworthy people and I recommend them highly,  You won't find better.  Oh and by the way, if you use Google the only negative comment comes from the auto repair shop across the street from Craig's place (his competition)  Google should do a better job checking their ratings for accuracy! - Art L.

What a great find. I was helping my father find a new local mechanic (his old one in Covina called it quits). I found CJ Auto and read all good reviews and decided to have my dad go there. He was super happy with the staff, the work and pricing. A few months later I decided to purchase a cold air intake for my 2013 Challenger. Called Craig, we discussed it, he did a quick overview of the part and gave me an estimate. Brought my car in at 7:30am, got a call at 9:15am that it was all done... Holy Crap, that was way too fast. Drove back looked over the system, payed and took my Challenger out for a little testing of the improved performance. I am so happy I took it to Craig's Shop. I love the fact that his range of knowledge form older to brand new cars is so great. Take your car here if you want a long term relationship with your mechanic..

Thanks again Craig, you and your staff are the best! - Justin C.

I have been a customer of Craig Johnson Automotive for nearly six years. I have had the same vehicle throughout this time span, and every time I have had an issue with my vehicle, Craig has fixed it in a timely manner at an extremely fair price. His team finds any potential problems and fixes them. I feel safe driving a vehicle that has been inspected and fixed by Craig Johnson's team of mechanics. I highly recommend this mechanic shop to ANYONE. The entire staff is wonderful and they treat everyone with respect. - Taylor C.

Honest, fast, courteous, knowledgeable, reasonable, clean and more... what else can I say!? I will have more work done here with my other cars. - Aundrea S.

I have been a customer for over 5 years... great shop who has th best quality in a mechanic- honesty! Came highly recommended through Yelp, and I have not been disappointed with the service yet! Helped my husband figure out a warranty for service right before contract was up... saved us $$$ because it would have cost over $1500 to fix without warranty. Great customer service, thank you Craig and staff for refuting bad reputation of mechanics. - Kay C.

Honest and professional! The only things that separates these guys from a dealership mechanic is the price. If you're looking for a knowledgeable staff and a detailed explanation of their completed work, all at a reasonable price, and the satisfaction when you drive away knowing that you weren't ripped of, then make Craig Johnson your mechanic. In the past I've settled for the lowest priced mechanic, but I'd rarely receive a detailed walk-through (with a detailed printout) of the work done, and some suggestions on how to save $$ in the future. The shop stands by all their work, and are very accommodating to reasonably dissatisfied customers. He will also cut 10% off the price of your first visit if you mention the ad on his site. - Carlos V.

Craig is such an honest and nice guy! He helped me fixed my under engine cover, they were fast but so efficient. I have had no problems since and will go back to him if I have any more problems. Definitely recommend! - Rachel K.

The team at Craig Johnson Automotive is skilled in every aspect of my new vehicle thus I have the utmost confidence in the continuous reliability of my vehicle. The comfort and expertise Craig Johnson Automotive gives me is indisputable. - J.R.

We've been going to Craig for at least 10 years. He's always given us great service and honest recommendations. He has saved us money and continues to keep our cars running well over 150k miles. Thanks! - Sunny D.

You can't take your vehicle to anyone who knows more than Craig Johnson about automobile repair. Besides being knowledgeable, he is very ethical and trustworthy. A great guy and a great place. - Matt L.

OMG, an honest mechanic, it's like finding a unicorn in the wild. Honesty deserves to be recognized so he gets 5 stars. Good shop, we've been going here for a few years and were referred from a neighbor. I like this guy, he's straight up honest. Good quality work, will give you a ride back to your house if needed. Plus he has a cool cat that hangs out at his shop. It can be a bit hard to locate his shop so make sure you have your directions. Also I am not sure he works weekends. - Brad M.

If you're looking for a trustworthy and honest auto repair you've found the place. You deal with Craig Johnson himself. He is a down to earth guy who will tell you what is wrong with your vehicle.  If there are number of problems which should be taken care of right away. I've taken our two vehicles and my daughter's car.  I know that when I get the car back everything will be taken care of. I've dealt with Craig and manager Larry who is also does a great job taking care of what is ailing your car.  If you're looking for  a mechanic you can trust Craig Johnson Automotive.  This is an unsolicited review and have been going to Craig for  over 7 years. - Frank F.

If you're looking for a automotive repair facility, Craig Johnson is the place to have your vehicle repaired. Craig has maintained my vehicles for over 25 years. He informs you of repairs needed to maintain your vehicle and you make the decision without any pressure from Craig. If something is under warrenty he will inform you. If necessary he will assist through the warrenty process with the dealer. I always recommended Craig Johnson Automotive. Big thanks to Craig and his staff for keeping my vehicles maintained. - Customer Review

I have over the past years have gone to other places never feeling confident in what their saying what’s wrong with my car.  Since meeting and taking my car to Craig I feel he honest, knowledgeable and makes sure you understand what’s needed and why. If something isn't needed he also lets you know not taking or doing unneeded repairs. When asked where I take my car and ask for suggestion I always recommended Craig Johnson Automotive. - Customer Review

I have been taking my wife's car to Craig for years. Craig has always been honest and fair. He has never tried to sell me repairs or services that were not needed. I do my own repairs on my car so I know about cars and what it takes to keep them running. So why do I send my wife's car to Craig? Easy answer. Craig is a Professional and I trust him with my wife's car. I know that her car will be reliable and that my wife and my children are not going to have any car related problems.

Big thanks to Craig and his team for helping to keep my family safe on the road. - Customer Review

Craig Johnson runs a wonderful business. He is honest, has great prices and is a super mechanic. I love the friendliness in the shop. Everyone has a nice smile and hello for you.

I highly recommend Craig and his staff to anyone out there needing a super mechanic. - Customer Review

Craig Johnson Automotive is great place. Honest and reliable auto repairs. - Alan G.

Craig is the man. I'm calling him right now! I will not let anybody else touch my rides. Period.  - Level O.

This is a great place for women looking for a trustworthy mechanic - honest, reasonable prices and great follow-up. If you are female, it is the best because they dont talk to female customers like they are idiots. - Clancy M.

I'm so glad that my boyfriend found Craig Johnson. As a female, I feel very comfortable about taking my car in for service/repair on my own. Craig is honest, trustworthy and very knowledgeable. He takes the time to explain what is wrong and what needs to be done and how and what kind/make/brand of parts he's going to use. His estimates are true estimates. Craig and his team take pride in what they do and it certainly shows in their work. I have over 200,000 miles on my car and with Craig and his team doing all my car service and repairs on it, I will probably get another 200,000+ miles on my car! - Lior L.
