Hadn't had service on my 2000 Honda Civic for many months due to the continuing Covid-19 pandemic. Awesome technicians at Craig Johnson Automotive performed a multi-point inspection and detailed all the areas of immediate need, items to be looked at in the short term, and areas to be monitored. Current actions were a valve adjustment and engine tuneup, plus correction of timing belt issues. Now the car runs so much better than before. I had made a rudimentary list of my concerns and the servicemen went over every item on the list, letting me know what was needed and what checked out okay. I had requested an oil change service, a tire pressure check, replacement windshield wipers, and inspection of the spare tire/donut, which turned out to be flat! All these were performed. A broken wheel lug and stud were replaced, also. I had noted prior important service history on my list, so Craig entered this into his database and gave me a "next service due" listing. Now I know when to schedule appointments for service, making sure that I follow up on recommendations.

I feel so fortunate to have Craig taking care of my car! As a "senior citizen" (with a 20-year-old car!!) it's good to feel so confident that I don't have to worry about "surprises" and the service is definitely "5 STAR." Thank you, Craig!
I had a great experience. I took my car in because my dashboard looked a Christmas tree. Mr. Johnson called me within a couple of hour of dropping it off and told me exactly what was wrong with it with the cost. I was able to pick up my car the same day. Reasonable and he explained everything in detailed. I will definitely be coming back in the future for any car repairs. - Elizabeth G. (5 star review on Yelp)

Honest! Reliable! Thorough! Fair! Best mechanic to have, which is very rare nowadays! Craig and his team are by far the best! -  Amber S. (recommended on Facebook)

I have now been going to Craig for my oil change on my Prius C for two years now. I was referred to him by my boyfriend. He had always been up front with me on what I need and where my brakes, tires are at. He has sent me pictures of proof on what my brakes looked like and calls before he does anything extra that was not discussed when I drop off my car. I really appreciate him being detailed. I have referred him to my mom as well and she now goes to Craig now. Great service and honest, does not try to up sell me. Thank you Craig and your team for treating me and my car well. - Tiffany S.

Craig has been my mechanic for a few years now and was referred by two friends of mine and I refer him to all my friends, too.  You can depend on them for an honest and complete diagnosis and repair of your car.  I have had oil consumption problems with my car and Craig has helped me with the process of getting American Honda to correct the problem.  They are always courteous and on time.  I would go to no other mechanic, they keep my car running great.  Thank you, Craig, and all your mechanics. - Gerrie R.

I brought in my Kia Optima SXL Turbo to replace some bad breaks. Job was done quickly and at a great price. Thank you, Craig!!! I highly recommend this place - Michelle T. (5 star review on Yelp)

As a long time customer of Craig Johnson Automotive. I have always received honest and excellent service from Craig and his staff. - Susan E. (5 star review on Yelp)

I recently brought my 2009 Chrysler for new shocks. My car had been making a screeching noise over speed bumps. I was very happy with the services. He even changed out my brake light for free (I didn't even know it was out). Craig was really nice and I never felt he was trying to add on services that I didn't need. This is so important when it comes to choosing an automotive shop. I trusted his opinion. My car is running smooth as ever. I even met his daughter, who works there too. It's great to see a trusting family business! I will definitely be back. This will be my regular place for all my car needs. I have referred my sister there too. - Nicole S. (5 star review on Yelp)

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. (5 star review on Yelp)

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)
