Dean Auto Repair

Always a nice and honest mechanic. I was told that I needed new struts and more for a total of $ 900. Jonathan told me my car was fine and he did the needed work for $ 250. This was 5 years ago and my car is still running thanks to this guy.

I have been taking my car to Jonathon for the last 5 years and am very pleased with the quality of work and extremely reasonable prices. I never feel like he will up-​sale (sell you unnecessary repairs) or price gouge (hike up the price). Here’s an example, when 1 of my engine coils failed, I asked him if I should change the other 3 too? Non-​honest mechanics will tell you, «Yes! It’s going to cost you another $ 300 dollars», and only change the 1 that failed but tell you they changed it all. How would you know? Jonathon told me, «No! It’s not necessary, change the others when they fail.»
I’m worried 1 day I’ll buy a car that Jonathon and his brother, Hip, doesn’t know how to fix and I will have to find a new mechanic shop, but right now, I’m very happy to take my car here.
Things to note, appointments do not work here as they run on «Asian Time». I also believe they don’t like to deal with extended warranty mumbo jumbo. You pay by cash or credit card.
List of repairs I have done with Jonathon (Dean Auto Repair):
* Rotors and brakes replacement
* Engine coil replacement
* Alternator replacement
* Turning (cutting) old rotors
* Power window motor/​actuator replacement
* Many oil changes and tire rotations

Every time I come — exceptional service. Jonathan is the best! That’s why I won’t take my car anywhere else. The dealership said getting my brakes fixed would be almost $ 800… Jonathan did it for way less than half that! He’s such an honest mechanic and a great soul! He loves what he does and is so genuine and wonderful to his customers. I won’t take my car anywhere else.

Awesome awesome awesome Jonathan and Hip (their brothers) are awesome souls and honest people. Got so many quotes from many different car repair shops and I almost gave in until I looked at the reviews and read them. All I seen was the word HONEST used so many times in the reviews I had to try them out. I only paid $ 250 for brand new out of the box rotors and brake pads. All the other places I called said it would cost me 4 – 500. One place said 250 each Praise the Lord for honest folks like these guys. Great job at an awesome price. I am glad for all of you who helped me find such honest mechanics. I highly recommend them to all my friends and family.

My family have been coming here for years, Jonathan and his brother are always nice and they do good honest work, Jonathan will never talk you into getting unnecessary repair.

I’ve been going to Deans for service since 2013, he’s honest, affordable and reliable. I highly recommend his service.

Jonathan is an amazing mechanic. He is very honest and respectful of your wallet. I was told by 2 other mechanics that I would need to replace my entire transmission and Jonathan said that was not the case at all and I simply had a very small leak that was not going to affect my car. That was 20,000 miles ago and I haven’t had a problem since I went back to Jonathan. They do get busy so you may have to wait, but it is worth the wait.

Best mechanic I’ve ever been to hands down. Some others in the area wanted to charge me ridiculous amounts for obscure problems with my car. Jonathon took a look at my car and fixed only what was necessary, with my final cost being a third of what I was quoted elsewhere. Thanks for being a great mechanic and trustworthy person!

After thinking I had a dead battery, a AAA mechanic confirmed that it wasn’t a dead battery, but a bum starter.
After calling 3 different auto shops near by, I decided to go to Dean’s because he had the best quote.
Being a female, I always anticipate the long list of repairs I need from mechanics. When I arrived, Dean remembered me calling and promised to have me out of there by a certain time. He was very friendly.
Upon completion he called me. I liked his location because it was near a lot of shops and restaurants. So the wait time didn’t seem as long. When I arrived for pick up and payment, I wasn’t presented with a long list of other repairs. Perhaps, there were none, but 99% of the time I will have an air filter replacement. Even after replacing it with a brand new one (true story at a different auto shop).
Needless to say, I will be back. He’s got a great location. He is super nice, quick, and reasonable. My starter also came with a 1 year warranty.
Thanks Dean!

What a disappointment! I read all of the wonderful reviews, called, made an appointment (after asking the best time to bring it in), got a friend to follow me for the ride home… and no one showed up. I waited 20 minutes then asked the guy next to him who said «sometimes he’s late». Not acceptable. The only reason I gave a star at all was that I was forced to find someone else and found Ruffner Transmissions who did a fantastic job and treated me and my time with respect.

How in the world do you get out of the shop with a new starter for under 200 bucks?
You come HERE. Jonathan is the best. He also fixed my windshield washer for FREE. Jonathan is an honest, real, respectful, friendly person. He is great at what he does; he has 100% of my trust, and as I said in my previous review, I will never go any place else.

Just came from this shop and let me tell you, jonathan is by far the most honest genuine real mechanic, he knows cars. Went to a whole bunch of shops before coming here they all gave me different answers, jonathan at deans helped me right away and fixed the issue asap, i will be a returning customer

1^st– You will not find a more honest, credible and genuine person then Jonathan, its quite unique that he just happens to work in automotive repair. its actually a bit of an oxymoron!
2^nd– I have worked in the Auto industry for over 10 years and he is the most reliable and competent mechanic I have done business with. His uncanny ability to troubleshoot and fix all problems on all makes and models import or domestic.
3^rd– The best aspect of Deans Auto Repair is his reasonable pricing on labor rates and by industry standards it’s the best bargain in town!
4^th– I referrer all friends and family to Jonathan. You want the ones you care for the most to be taken care of the best.
5^th– He’s a great guy and everyone that works with him has a friendly and professional demeanor.

Under new ownership! Dean is long gone…
I recently bought an old Dodge Caravan with a $ 750 engine/​drivetrain service plan. I took it by Dean Auto Repair to see if they would inspect the car and help me figure out how best to spend the $ 750 (it’s an old car, so spending the money should be the easy part).
I’m not sure who met me when I drove up (he never introduced himself), but he immediately made it clear that he didn’t want my business. He asked how many miles the car had, I told him and he told me, «That’s too much». I have no clue what that means since I’ve owned vehicles with nearly 500K miles on them. He asked me to pop the hood, peeked around for a few seconds and asked me if I wanted my spark plug wires replaced. I think the language barrier meant that he didn’t really understand what the warranty was all about.
Thanks, but no thanks.

Dean’s Auto Repair is the best auto repair shop I have ever been. I know saying an auto mechanic was honest is like calling a politician honest! But Jonathan is very honest. He called me and told me exactly what the problem was and the pricing. He fixed the problem and didn’t try to get more money out of me like most dealerships do. I will recommend this mechanic to all my friends.

These are the nicest guys ever! Jonathan is one of those very hard to come by honest mechanic. My car axle broke on my car while making a u-​turn on saturday, I called the shop right before they closed but jonathan never refused me and told me he would wait for me to get my car towed to the shop.

These guys are honest. They do the work your car needs and let you know of work it will need in the future so you are aware of it.
Good mechanic, takes care of his customers.
Thank you!

Wow I’m so happy to see all these glowing reviews for Jonathan and his repair shop. He really is a wonderful and honest mechanic. I’ve been going to him for a few years now as well and he has ALWAYS been nothing but honest and upfront. A few times I even found parts cheaper than he could get them online and he gladly used them and just charged me for his time. I would NEVER go to anyone else! In these tough times you need to keep what you have running longer and I will without doubt with Jonathan’s help.
I just hope he doesn’t get TOO popular cuz I love that he can always get me in at a moment’s notice. Actually, I take that back. He’s too wonderful not to have as much work as he can handle. How many people can say they love their mechanic? All the folks on this page can. :)

I’ve been bringing my cars for repair to Dean Auto Service for more than 10 years. The customer service that Jonatan and his mechanic provide is outstanding. They are the most honest mechanics I’ve met. They will fix just the problem the car has and will never, ever try to take advantage of you! ILast week I was at Dean’s they replaced the front brakes of my car for a very reasonable rate and in a timely manner.
As always, I was extremely satisfied and felt that I have to share my experience at Dean Auto Repair so not only me but many others that need a car repair to come to this car repair shop, fix their cars and leve the place as a happy customers.
I strongly recommend Dean Auto Service to everyone !

Jonathan is great! I’ve been going to him for years. He’s an honest man and we’ve always been pleased with his work. I trust him, no questions asked. He’s saved us a lot of money, and always been straight forward.
A personal story: One time I did go to the Chevy dealership because I didn’t know if Jonathan fixed transmissions. The dealership had recommended $ 5,000 in repairs on top of my transmission. I found out Jonathan did work on transmissions, so I took the list the dealership gave me and handed it to him. He looked over everything. The fan belt that the dealership said that was going to break any day, had at least 6 months left on it according to Jonathan. The dealership was pushy and tried to play off of my fears being that I’m a woman. I don’t scare easily, and Jonathan confirmed everything was fine. Great guy!
