Check Engine Light

Your check engine light comes on, but before you start to panic, you immediately call the team at John's Automotive Care in La Mesa. You schedule an appointment for auto repair and, upon arrival, our auto mechanics carefully and thoroughly examine your vehicle. Utilizing a combination of education, experience, and innovative equipment, our team will pinpoint exactly what is causing that check engine light to flare.

When your check engine light is shining on your dashboard, you can't help but think the worst. However, this light could indicate a major or minor issue. Our team, at John's Automotive Care, will thoroughly inspect your car.

Sometimes auto repair can sound like a foreign language; we will take photographs of what we uncover so we can clearly show you what is going on. We look out for your best interest. After we figure out what is causing your check engine light to appear, we will work together to decide on a course of action suitable for your budget, safety, and driving habits.

We have earned the reputation as the go-to auto repair shop in La Mesa. We are proud to say that our clients appreciate our efforts to always be upfront and honest, but don't just take our word for it. Here is a recent 5-star review about a satisfied customer's experience at John's Automotive Care:

"Top notch. I would tell them that the customer service is superlative (Thank you Justin!). This business really appreciates its customers. Everyone was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Receiving emailed photos of what needed attention on my car, and the printed history put together from my file folder of odds and ends of receipts were impressive, and welcome bonuses. Justin really went all out to ensure that I would be a happy, and repeat, customer. And, what a clean facility!" -- Angeline L.
