Our knight in shining armor! The tech who helped us at 8:00pm, Anthony was awesome!! We would have been stranded without him and the garage had the tire we needed! Angels sometimes might have dirty hands, but they're angels just the same.

I threw the tread on one of the tires on my RV. And my spare was garbage. They luckily had a tire to get me back on the road. And ordered 6 more for me to have installed on the return. Anthony really came through for me in a time of crisis. The kind of people you want to know!

With a car filled with bags, me, my husband, our toddler, and my mother in law were on the way to the beach for vacation when our brakes went out. We saw a sign for automotive repair and pulled in. The mechanic came out right away, found the problem, and said he could fix it tomorrow. We called for a rental car but there were none. As we were sitting there trying to figure out what to do, the owner came out and said we could go inside and he would fix it immediately because of our circumstances. He didn t want us to have to find a hotel to stay in. Grateful is an understatement. I am so thankful we happened to find Johnny s because of the good people who work there. I would absolutely recommend this place!

If I could give this conman negative stars I would! Do not under any circumstances take your vehicle to this shady theif. Took him a car with new parts to be out on the vehicle. He had the audacity to not only not put the new parts on the car (charged full price even though he didn't) but, he tried to keep them too! He only returned the new parts when confronted and was extremely disrespectful and unprofessional when he was called out on it. I ultimately got all my new parts back. Avoid this place at all costs! You'd be better off trying to repair it yourself then dealing with this joke of a mechanic!

I have been doing business with Johnny's for years and it upsets me very much to hear others cast Johnny's business in a bad light. The real truth is that of all of the auto mechanics in the Martin County area there is not a more honest and knowledgeable automotive technician to entrust your motor vehicle to. He certainly is honest and takes great pride in the quality of his work. Perhaps the true nature of the problem that the negative customers have exhibited is a communication problem that they are experiencing. Very often Johnny doesn't quote an exact price because he has to wait to discover the extent of the work involved. I have never known him to be dishonest to any degree. In fact, if he makes an error in his work or in the billing, he will go out of his way to make things right. It is true, that he is very busy; and as a result to that reality, there is often a delay in the time that it takes to complete the work. Johnny is an expert on all motor vehicles and is famous on the race care circuit. Don't expect super fast service; but one thing that you can count on is the highest quality of work performed. I have witnessed Johnny fire a number of employees for failure to measure up to his high standards of work. He has fired people for not showing proper respect to his customers. If you want to pay a lot of extra money that you don't need to, then, take your car or truck to Dixie Motor. If you want to take your vehicle to an equally honest business, then go to Roberson Brothers. They are very honest, but they just don't have the expertise that is evident at Johnny's Automotive. I have invested thousands of dollars at Johnny's on my family's motor vehicles and have never needed to regret my investment. I wouldn't entrust my vehicles to any other business in a fifty mile radius. My name is Joseph Whitaker.

Honestly I wouldn't even give them a star if there was the option. They told me to bring my car in for a simple fuse replacement and to look at my radio around 9:00 am and they would start on it right away because I needed my car in order to be picked up from work and its is now 3:30 and haven't touched my vehicle. They wouldn't give me a price on anything or tell me a time frame other then "We're getting to it". I told my Husband to go and get my car and we will take it else where, as he was leaving the "Audio" guy tells him that he thought the car was there for a detail and never new it needed the radio and fuses looked at. Then offered to come to our house "after hours" to fix it where the company wouldn't be liable if It was damaged any further for half the price. These people a shysters and very sketchy individuals. I would highly recommend going elsewhere and not even consider these people as an option.

After taking talking to Johnny's wife about working on my vehicle, she approved me take it there. Johnny kept my vehicle there for over two months, and kept telling me tomorrow. When I finally passed by and saw the truck moved to the back where his junk yard is, I went and pick it up.

If I could give this Junk yard a -5 rating I would. Do not attempt to purchase a car from this place. Drove over 2 hrs to get a car once we arrived it was not what it was supposed to be

If I could give no stars I would. My car quite on me and went and saw him he said he'd work with me spent a week trying to get up with them just to get the run around for him to go back on his word. I could have been looking other places. Goes to show you can't take people's word these days.

Awful service. If you want to honestly pay to have absolutely nothing done to your car and to have it worse then when you took it. By all means go to Johnny's.
