Joe's Auto Center

Gave Joe's Auto Center my first try recently and found a friendly, attentive and knowledgeable team there. Like all reputable mechanics, Joe's AC charges a diagnostic fee that is applied toward any repairs to be done. My situation was one where any mechanic could have taken advantage of me and charged for unnecessary work, but Joe's AC didn't; they saved me A LOT of money. I trusted them enough to return the following week to request a full brake job (which I knew was needed).They did excellent, thorough work, and went the extra mile to make sure I was pleased and confident in choosing them. I highly recommend Joe's Auto Center.

Car had been sitting in Long Beach for 6 months while working on the islands. We arrived back to a car that wouldn’t start. Tow company said it was not the battery and most likely a bigger issue. We got it towed the next morning to Joe’s. They got us in right away and ended up diagnosing the car. Turns out it was the battery that went bad and they got us up and running within a few hours. I appreciated their honesty and professionalism. I would recommend them to anyone!

Bad Mechanics or scammers On 10/14/24 I took my van to Joe's Auto because my HVAC blower was stuck on high. I could not shut is off. he told me it would be a $150 diagnostic charge. I told him i already knew what the problem was, It's the blower motor resistor but he told me he had to do a diagnostic. so i said ok and he kept the vehicle.The next day he called telling me the blower motor had a short and have to be replaced along with the other components. and it would be $784. I paid him the $150 diagnostic charge and took my vehicle. I went to another shop who charged me $83 for the blower resistor, $26 to replaced my extremely dirty air filter which probably caused the issue and $50 for installation. if you do the math that's $162. I waited this long to post a review because I wanted to make everything was ok and there wasn't a short like he said, after almost a month i can say everything is fine, no more issues. For the free $150 I gave to Joe's auto i could have fix my vehicle. Always get a second opinion even if they lock you in with a diagnostic fee.
