We won`t take our cars to any other place for service. Work done is always done in a timely manner and we appreciate the reminders when service is required. He is 10 stars in our book!

I have been taking my older Tacoma to Craig Johnson Automotive for more than seven years now. Prior to using Craigs, I had several other auto repair facilities work on my truck, without having a real sense of satisfaction and always wondering if the job was done absolutely the best possible way.I have always kept it well maintained both mechanically and cosmetically. I trust Craigs to tell me the truth regarding any repairs they feel are necessary in order to keep my Tacoma in the best mechanical condition possible. Craig Johnson will also go out of their way to help make the repair visit as convenient as possible for the customer.Bruce

Craig and his team have taken care of several of our cars for the last 15 years. He is honest, his work is extremely reliable and we can always trust that he does what is necessary and never will try to sell you something you don’t need. We put our implicit trust in Craig and his team and know that we get excellent service at a great value. We highly recommend Craig’s Automotive to anyone who needs a mechanic.

I was desperate to look for a TRUSTED MECHANIC. My 2019 Escalade was diagnose with a lifter problem, which is one of the major problem on this 4th generation Escalade. Craig gave me options and I dont have the budget for a new engine. Thats why he tried to repair it first. Craig, knows what he was doing and hoping that this will last, giving me time to save, to have a budget for an engine replacement. He even said that I might not need an engine, when he was done with the repair. You really get what you pay for. This will be the company that will take care all of my vehicles. Thank you Craig and the staff.From:LAX Black Cars

One of the best services Ive experienced anywhere. Craig was very transparent, patient and accommodating. He fixed my trucks problem that few mechanics would work on because its very time consuming. I highly recommend doing business with Craig Johnson Automotive.

Spoke to Craig over the phone and he was clear, concise, and took the time to speak to me about my issue with my hybrid vehicle. He told me he wanted what was best for me and recommended I call directly the company he would otherwise be contacting in order to get a new hybrid battery. The reviews I read on his honesty hold true and I have marked his auto shop as my future shop to go to. Thanks Craig!

Miracle workers and a place you can trust. Took my 2007 car in. Was given a detail report of what needed to be done. Picked up my car today and it runs so smooth just like as if it was new. Everyone is wonderful. Best customer service I’ve ever had. I normally don’t give reviews but Craig Johnson Automotive deserves many kudos! 😊

Craig did a great job with my car. Hes very honest and realistic. Even though my car was in the end too much to fix completely, he not only put it together enough to run and helped me by directing me where I can find some specialty salvagers to make the most profit on my old car. Thanks for everything Craig. Also, his receptionist is very sweet.

Craig Johnson Automotive has been servicing my vehicle for 13 years. I like that when checking my vehicle Craig tells me what should be done now and what will probably be needed in the future. He provides me with a loaner vehicle. He test drives my vehicle before I pick it up. The one problem I had is he installed new parts in my coolant system. I took my vehicle back due to a leak. The problem was a new part was defective. He replaced that part and a couple more at no charge. The problem was not due to the repair. Craig stands behind his repairs, is competent and trustworthy. I am very satisfied with the service he provides.

Craig has a wide array of knowledge after 40 years working in the auto mechanical field. The shop has great diagnostic skills to figure out what wrong as quickly as possible. You with receive a complete Computor print with the best and least expensive solutions. All our auto service was completed in a timely manner as well as when promised. My wife and I drive from Carlsbad to Craig’s automotive knowing we can put our trust in the best auto MD in California. You will never be disappointed

Craig and his crew keep my 20 year old Toyota on the road, running in top notch conditionfor many years now. Routine maintenance or needed repairs (which I just had done) are always a professional, friendly, and positive experience.

We were in CA at Disneyland. left to drive back to Utah and make it 30 mins before the 2019 expedition overheated. Got in google to find a mechanic and Craig had great reviews. we called him and he told us what to do to get it over to him. He went to work right away. He even gave the kids snacks and drinks while we waited. Found out that the radiator hose clamp had broken. He started searching for replacements right away. He tried his hardest to get us back on the road ASAP but unfortunately parts took longer to get to him than anticipate. he had us back on the road by 1 the next day! He even looked up any potential issues with our car and gave us all the paperwork to have it fixed should it arise. He even coed in with us to make sure everything was going good on the way hone! I sure wish he was closer to Salt Lake!! Thanks Craig

Craig has kept my cars running in great condition for more than half a decade. These guys are knowledgeable, they work fast, they work around my schedule and when they give me a price I feel like Im getting my moneys worth. My mom is getting up there in age and CJ Automotive is the only place I trust not to take advantage of her. Craig was able to easily figure out a problem with my old car that lesser mechanics couldnt after I spent thousands and my new car has been running in top shape as well thanks to him. This is someone who really cares about his reputation and that is reflected in the employees as well. Cant recommend this place enough, if you need a mechanic these guys will give you much better service than anyone else in the area and the owner takes personal responsibility for making sure everything is handled properly.-Owner of the Toyota Corolla kept in good condition for the last few years.

I have been a customer of Craig Johnson Automotive since 2002, and as far as local mechanics/garages go, there is no better shop in the San Gabriel Valley, and Southern California, in my opinion. His approach to customer service, particularly as it relates to customer needs and flexibility is phenomenal and beyond reproach. I would highly recommend him for automotive repair to anyone!

Craig Johnson is the real deal honest mechanic. His work is solid, fair and done right. Craig has been working on my personal cars and our company trucks for over 10 years. I drive 30 minutes to get our vehicles serviced by him. His record keeping is top notch and reporting system is state of the art. Im a customer for life.

As always Craig Johnson and his team were efficient and honest. They provide quality service. He is very upfront about costs and is happy to explain what exactly is going on with your vehicle. It is hard to find companies you can trust these days but I am thankful that I can bring my car here without any worry.

We have taken several cars to Craig over the last approximately 10 years and have found him very fair and reliable in all aspects.He will always call to discuss an issue and you never leave his shop feeling you were talked into something that you may not have needed. We highly recommend his auto services!

Craig is very respectful toward me. He keeps a detailed spreadsheet for all repairs and emails it to me. This helps me know what repairs are needed right away. He is thorough and I have never had to return a car for additional repairs after he works on it. His indoor garage area is clean and has a ton of plants and outdoor seating area. His staff are professional and helpful. Craig Johnson Automotive is everything I want in a garage.

As always, I had a great experience at Craig Johnson Automotive. I tend to keep my cars a long time. I had a Ford Escort with over 200,000 miles on it. I also have a Mustang that is 30 years old. Craig has always kept my cars in tip top shape. Craig has been my one and only mechanic for almost forty years. He stands behind his work, and is very good at communicating what needs to be done, could be done, and can be deferred as far as repairs go.

Many in my family have been coming to Craig Johnson for years and know that we can trust him. He will give you his diagnosis, pros and cons and timelines of needed repairs, and then you can decide what you will have done and when. It gives you a bigger picture of what is going on with your automobile, especially as your car ages. I would definitely recommend Craig to others!

I have been coming to Craig Johnson for a number of years and wouldnt go anywhere else. Craig always explains clearly what my car needs and does a terrific job of keeping it running in top notch condition. Friends I have referred are very happy with his service which is always done with an upbeat attitude. His staff are very pleasant and he gets the work done as promised. Thanks for keeping my car, and my husbands, running just great!

On my 2018 Nissan Rogue, Craig did a 20 thousand mile recommended service, safety inspection, filter change (cabin and engine), engine oil & filter change and tire rotation. All this was accomplished professionally and in good time. I’ll continue to bring my vehicles to Craig for honest, professional service!

Craig Johnson has serviced our Dodge Ram truck, Toyota Scion, Smart Car, and classic Mustang for the last 13 years. The mechanics are excellent, all are friendly, and special parts have been installed. Prices are fair and if some part does not need repair, we were told not to order. I highly recommend Craig Johnson for his thorough diagnosis, expert repairs, and personal service. Great guy that I have trusted all these years.

Craig Johnson Automotive has been my auto repair shop for over 20 years for all of my familys vehicles - too many to count!! I just dropped one off last night for repair and decided to write a review; one of many I should have done a long time ago. Since I rarely write reviews, I decided to first read the many reviews on this site and could not believe that anyone would give him less than a 5 star rating! Craig has always gone out of his way to help my family and me and has always been the most honest auto repair person I know. Examples: One morning, many years ago, while taking my small children to school, my car would not start. I was frantic and called Craig, asking what to do and how to get my car to his shop. Without hesitation, Craig personally came to my house, picked up the kids and me, took them to school and took me to his shop, all the while making arrangements to have my car towed to his shop for repair. Another time, my car just died on a freeway off ramp. I called Craig and there he was again, picking me up and taking care of all the arrangements to get my car to the shop. These were different cars, at different times. Both problems were related to the computer in the car system and Craig helped me get the dealer to honor the defect to fix the problem. Craig did not make a dime off of me for any repairs yet has continued to provide great service when needed. He has advised us of vehicle recalls, how to save money, and how to make sure our cars are always in good running order. He has never recommended something we did not need, overcharged for parts or labor, or made me feel like I dont know anything about my vehicles. Coming in for an early drop off, staying for a late pickup, taking customers home...what more could you ask for in a great service provider?!! For the very few reviews that complained...If you find it cheaper elsewhere, then go there instead. But, the quality of the work that comes out of Craig Johnson Automotive is the best and cheap quality comes with a cheap price! Im not blind and have done my due diligence comparing costs and Craig is not overpriced for anything he has done for us or anyone I have referred. The 2 complaints posted sounded to me like people that wanted something for nothing. Craig must have been doing something right for one of them to have gone to him for so long. He is an asset to the automotive repair business and to our community. Thank you Craig, Amanda, Tony and Eric - signed - Customer For Life!!

My family has received 10+ years of great service from Craig Johnson. He has been a great help in all our car phases! He checked out new/used cars and gave us excellent insights, he has done many major repairs, and even guided us in getting rid of a clunker profitably! Life is better when you have a car mechanic you can fully trust!

We thoroughly trust Craig Johnson Auto and have been taking all of our vehicles there for over 20 years. Our Ford F150 (with pop up camper on it) broke down in Bishop. We used our AAA 200 mile towing and a 100 mile towing to get it down to Craig. The rear end went out. Craig found a used axle and we had our truck back in a little over a week. It was pricey but half as much as a new axle. We are very happy with his service and mechanics.

Craig Johnson and his staff have been our neighborhood mechanic for many years. I can bring any of our 3 cars in for routine and non-routine service and our family is confident that our vehicle will be service quickly with the correct parts and labor. I am always kept informed on car status and expected cost and repair time. If you are looking for a dependable auto repair show for domestic or foreign vehicles ( I have both ), you should go to Craigs-- you will be glad you did.

I took a chance on Craig Johnson Automotive because I saw so many positive reviews online. My expectations were exceeded! Craig, the owner, took great care to explain to me what needed to be done, as well as what other maintenance might be necessary soon and in what time frame. It was clear to me he was capable and honest. Ill definitely be back for all my automotive maintenance needs.

Im so glad that my b/f 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 hes 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!

The car was inspected for anything which may make its driving unsafe. The tire tread level were measured and rotated. The brakes were checked and pad thickness was measured. I am happy with their work and recommended them to my friends.

Craig Johnsons automotive repair us 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.

What a wonderful experience!!Craig Johnson Automotive is the greatest mechanic shop in Southern California!!Are you looking for who may be the last Good & Honest mechanic?Look no further than Rowland Heights, California! Craig Johnson knows his stuff!! AND... he guarantees his work! What a concept!I thought my truck was beyond help because I made the mistake of taking it somewhere else (long story). To make it short, I was told I think your trans is going out and the head is cracked by this other shop... I think...? Your guessing??I brought my beloved truck to Craig Johnson who knows his business and he fixed it!! (btw: it was neither the trans or the heads) I should have just gone to Craig to begin with and would have save myself hundreds of dollars and months of stress!Craig even gave me a couple of services I needed but couldnt afford for free!When does that ever happen?I am a customer for LIFE !!! I want to tell the world, especially anyone in the area...GO TO CRAIG JOHNSON AUTOMOTIVE - HELL TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF YOU!! Trust me you wont regret it!!Thank you Craig and crew... YOURE THE BEST!!!If you are reading this review and take my word for it and go to Craig, tell him Ms. Ellie sent you!

We have been going to Craig for 15 years and would not take our cars and trucks any place else. Craig and his guys to very complete inspection each time we bring one of our vehicles in. Some mechanics address only obvious problems, but Craig and his guys always make sure every issue with a vehicle is noted and addressed with the customer.

I am not one to really do reviews. However I was referred to Craig by my boy friend. Glad I listened and came here for my oil change on my Prius. Very knowledgeable and honest about what my car needed and sent me photos. Which was a plus especially since I didn’t ask for them. It’s a rare thing to find someone in this profession who is fair with price, honest and good quality. Will be coming to him from now on. *Update* I have now been taking my Prius to Craig for probably over two years now. I went in this last time for a simple oil change and filters for the cabin and engine. With the fires happening I was pretty sure I was due. Well turns out I had a lot more going on with my car than thought. I got word from Tracy his new receptionist who is very nice by the way. She informed me my battery was basically bad and my filter for the Prius battery was dirty and needed to be cleaned. Well I know Craig never steers me wrong with what he recommends for my car and had him do what needed to be done. All I can say is that she turns on and off way better and drives a heck of a lot better. I have now owned my Prius for 7 years and with all the miles I have put on her I am lucky I just started having these maintenance needs. I will keep taking my car to Craig until he decides to throw in the towel. Thank you again for looking out for me and my Car.

I had the most horrific experience with Craig Johnson Automotive. I took my car in to get the Air Conditioning fixed. He misrepresented himself from the very beginning. First he told me he would install nothing but NEW Factory Ford Parts. I found out that he bought my compressor from 1-800 radiator, not Ford as he represented he would do. He could not even tell me where he bought the condenser, but when I call Ford they told me they do not make the condenser for that car any more. Craig Johnson told me ALL the parts were coming from Ford and he would not do it any other way.Since I was out of town when he got the repair done my daughter went into his shop to pick-up the car. She called when she got home to tell me that the Air Conditioning was not cool at all. I returned home a few days later and the AC ran cold for about 10 minutes before it went completely warm. Not too happy after paying almost $1,200.00 to get a NEW system. I took it back into his shop and he told me the oil had come out of the system. He showed me the oil all over the inside of my car. Later on he told my wife that the compressor was running all the time. Remember, this is with the oil all over the inside of my car. He had apparently left some debris inside the system before putting it together. I went to get something out of my car the next day and found out my car was not even at his shop! He could not figure it out so he took it to a shop down the road to get them to figure it out.Dishonest, untrustworthy, expensive, and incompetent. Dont go to Craig Johnson Automotive unless you want to get ripped off by crappy workmanship and poor customer service.

They have been very helpful in restoring my 1978 Chevy Nova. Doing all kinds of interior fixing for me when I bought the parts. They have saved my Saturn’s neglected engine since I bought it used. They are great mechanics and I won’t take my cars any place else.

I have been a customer of Craig Johnson Automotive for over 15 years and continue to utilize his team for all my automotive needs. I relocated 40 miles away from Craig Johnson Automotive 5 years ago and have continued to utilize Craig Johnson Automotive only for all of my automotive needs. My 2000 Tacoma amassed 444,000 miles of reliable service while under the watchful eyes of the team at Craig Johnson Automotive. I have purchased a 2016 Tundra which has solely been serviced by Craig Johnson Automotive. 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.I am overjoyed to know Craig Johnson and his team. Instead of new and inexperienced dealership service department technicians Craig Johnson Automotive has seasoned veteran mechanics so even if Im just getting an oil change their eagle eyes and vast experience spot potential issues before they become serious. I have not had a breakdown since utilizing Craig Johnson Automotive ! Craig Johnson Automotive provides a multi-point inspection and takes the time to explain the status of my vehicle so that I can make the best decisions for my situations.I recently went to see the pros 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 Tonys eagle eye spotted something and said: hey, whats 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 !!!

Craig is awesome I couldnt ask for a more honest and trustworthy mechanic. His team is just as awesome. I called him early Monday morning and he completed my car repairs the same day.

Today my Fiancee and I had a horrible experience with their inflated invoice price. My Fiancee and I checked with Repair Pal and it showed this mechanic shop charges $ 295.00 over the standard average. We have learned this shop has a history of over charging and if you dare to question your bill the mechanic Craig Johnson becomes upsets and lashes out. We brought in the proof of the overcharged amount from Repair pal and Craig Johnson the owner of the shop became upset and stated it was an insult. In addition, out of spite he did not replace the old timing belt with the new belt. It comes in a full kit.Why? Why do this? He has placed her life in danger whereby the old belt is about to fail. Who dosuch a thing? Its uncalled for and unnecessary he should be ashamed of his actions. It despicable to say the least. My Fiancee is hurt by his dangerous actions. My Fiancee paid for a complete repair of the water pump. It left my Fiancee and I in disbelief. She has been a long time customer for over 20 years. Craig Johnson the owner/ mechanic wanted an apology for even mentioning the high prices. This shop needs to recognize it is everyones right to question a high bill. I hope the shop will extend an apology for their negative uncalled for behavior. They certainly need to learn appropriate customer service. I hope they will apologize to my Fiancee and I. As an update the shop did not complete the whole work of the water pump replacement. Out of spite and its written in their invoice they left the old belt on. We will never go to this shop ever again.

I have been taking my cars to Craig Johnson Automotive for the past 20 years, they are professional at their work and do a great job. I have tried other places but never got the honest, trustful and friendly treatment that I receive there...

I have to say that the quality of work those guys give me is better than the best. They not only took me home after dropping off my car but they delivered my car for I couldnt leave the house to come get it. That is above and beyond superior service. They also give my vehicle the best quality service and products. I like that.Linda Ashmore

I went in to replace my rotors and brake pads on my Audi A4. I saved money since I was told that there was almost no wear on the rotors, and the brakes work perfectly without a single squeak.

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. (How rare is that?!)

I HAVE HAD MY CARS REPAIRED BY CRAIG SINCE HE OPENED HIS BUSINESS. HE KNOWS IN A MINUTE WHAT IS WRONG AND REPAIRS IT FAST AT A FAIR PRICE. HE WILL NEVER TRY TO SELL YOU MORE THAN YOU NEED. IT IS A PLACE WHERE A GIRL CAN TAKE HER CAR AND NOT WORRY ABOUT BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE. HE WILL GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO HELP YOU. I HAVE REFERRED MANY PEOPLE TO HIM AND THEY ARE ALL HAPPY WITH HIS SERVICE AND NOW ARE PERMANENT CUSTOMERS OF CRAIGS.
