Johnny’s Car Care

I was recommended by a co-​worker to come here. Went here for the first time this morning to get my oil changed and change my right head light. It was extremely fast service. Maybe not even 15 minutes. Will be returning!

Quick, friendly, cost-​effective service. Got my tires replaced in two hours flat. What else can you ask for?

I recently moved to Maryland and after going through PepBoys with a bad experience to diagnose my check engine light I searched through online reviews for a place to take my Dodge Caliber for a state inspection.
Johnny’s get good reviews and it is for a reason, he is a no nonsense person who tells people exactly what needs to be done.
I dropped my car off on Saturday morning, he called me at 905 to come and look at it (I was expecting the brakes needing work). When I got there he showed the brake issues, that one front axle boot had been ripped & throwing grease around, AND that the engine subframe/​cradle was rusting and rotting. He quoted me right then & there on the brakes and front axle work but needed to wait until Monday for the engine cradle, plus I wanted to check for a possible recall or extended warranty on it. I found the Caliber’s are noted for that and was really surprised the Dodge dealer I went to in South Burlington, VT missed it during the last state inspection in May.
Johnny’s is doing the repairs for me this week and again he is no nonsense about it, he gave me the call with the price after finding the cost & what the time for the repair is. He told me that he’ll order the parts and that they’ll get the repairs done.

Mr. John and his crew are fantastic! I’ve taken my car there three times this year and he’s always honest, fast, and does great work. I usually get my car back the very next day and my pockets aren’t broke.

An excellent shop! John was extremely knowledgable and professional. I highly recommend this establishment.

Called for to ask about an estimate on used tires for my Nissan Sentra, Johnny told me to come in and he will do it quick. Went in and unbelievably finished within 5 minutes, there was no hidden cost, very straight forward and honest salesman. Will recommend to anyone who has tire issues and wants fast service.

After having a bad experience at a local Shell repair station I scoured Unilocal and decided to try this place out due to the high reviews and I’m happy I did. I first called on a Saturday and Johnny himself answered. I explained the problem I was having with my brakes and he was completely honest letting me know that due to the make and model of my car I could bring it in but he would likely not have it finished that day because he did not have the right part directly on hand. He gave me a guarantee that if I brought it in on Monday he would have it ready for me by the end of the day. We ended up bringing it in on Monday and sure enough, he had it finished by the end of the day and at an excellent price! (About $ 400 less than a quote we got from the above mentioned Shell service station.) I was very pleased with how quick and easy the transaction was and I thought his no bull demeanor was really refreshing.

I don’t write reviews often but this one is long overdue. Johnny’s Car Care is the best place to get good, honest and fast mechanic work.
My husband and I started coming here through word of mouth and won’t go anywhere else.
Johnny, the owner (who answers the phone) has a _​heart_​_​of_​_​gold_​and won’t take advantage of anyone.
His prices are very reasonable, too, and has saved our hides on more than one occasion by having parts ready and available for our cars so they can be fixed the very same day we call, usually while we wait.
He even showed us after the work was done why our rear breaks had seized up and needed to be replaced. If you’re worried at all about getting ripped off, you’ll get peace of mind here.
We’ve also been to Johnny’s for tire replacements, oil changes, battery replacements… and when I told Johnny today that AAA was trying to sell me a battery before I could get to his shop, he shared with me that AAA likely buys up batteries at a discount that are over 6 months old from stores that have to pull them from their shelves, then slaps a AAA sticker on the battery. I’m pretty sure AAA would have also charged me more for an (old?) battery than the $ 100 total Johnny’s charged me today for a brand new battery including the labor for my 2006 Hyundai Accent.

I was quoted at Toyota in Glen Burnie at over $ 800.00 for a water pump replacement. I was quoted at Pep Boys for $ 400.00. Johnny’s replaced my water pump for just under $ 300.00.
And yes Johnny (or whoever answers the phone) is a bit rough around the edges but his business is one of integrity. A rare find!
I also have to buy 2 new tires. Service and tires ended up being about $ 220.
Reasonable prices, good service, and quick. Go there!

Really reliable place. My car was shaking so I got my wheel alignment fixed here. Great to know that there are trustworthy mechanics out there. They made sure that my shaking was just caused by my alignment and not another problem. So happy I just had to get wheel alignment. The owner is straight to the point. Which I like, no BS in the middle.

Took my son’s truck to get inspected. Owner was great. I have gone here before for tire fixes. Nice small business. Very friendly. Would highly recommend. Very reasonable in price as I had compared to other place around town.

Just had my friend’s car repaired there. To be honest, John was a little aggressive on the phone, but don’t let that scare you away. He is an honest guy who knows what he is doing and has the best prices in town. As a hands-​on owner, I am sure he is a busy guy and does not have a whole lot of time to chit chat. I have no hesitations recommending him to my friends, but I would warn them that he is very «to the point». Haha. His daughter (who works the phone and front desk) is very friendly, but still learning the ropes I think, so cut her some slack and be patient. :) Awesome experience overall. Thanks John.

I second what the last reviewer stated. This is a great place. In fact, I’m all for supporting small businesses and they make you feel like you’ve been a customer for years, even if you just walked in. I just came back from there and had an oil change done in 20 minutes! They even inspected my brakes and determined they were still very good. The owner’s daughter runs the desk and she is great too. All in all an AWESOME place and you all have a new customer! THANK YOU!!!

As far as auto service goes, this is a fantastic, trustworthy place to take your vehicle. I took my old car here about a year ago for a state inspection. My mechanic had told me I had to have my tires replaced immediately and that the car was aging and needed all sorts of repairs. Johnny’s told me the tires were fine and the car was in phenomenal shape for it’s age and I could expect a long life out of it. So, I decided to take my new car here today to get it inspected so I could register it in Maryland. Once again — great, fast service. I think they’re a family business, which must be why they are so polite and friendly. I felt so comfortable and welcome there I pulled out my laptop and did work in their lobby while I waited (a short time, by the way) for my car to be inspected. To top it off — they thanked me for stopping in! I love this place.
