The guys at John Ellis & Son always keep my cars running smooth & the work is done in a timely manner


Feb 04, 2025

Great experience


Feb 01, 2025

The folks at John Ellis & Son did a great job of servicing my Toyota Prius for its 120,000 mile checkup! I especially appreciated how they text you photos of their inspection so you can approve or decline services. Feels like you have a lot of say in what’s going on and can literally see what needs to be done. I will be coming back! :)

I was extremely happy with the service and ease of getting my car fixed here. Making an appointment was a breeze and then I got a text with images and options when they found the issues. John Ellis is now my family's mechanic.


Jan 31, 2025

John Ellis & Son did a great job serving and repairing my car. They were very thorough and even made sure to provide me with a better, less expensive option regarding the repair/replacement of my radio.


Jan 31, 2025

Runs like new though it's 24 years old. Smooth running. Thank you.


Jan 24, 2025

Brought in my vehicle for a smog and a repair and after diagnosing the problem they said it was still under warranty and the fixed it st no cost to me. Always a good experience using them!


Jan 24, 2025

Communication is great and exceeded my expectations. They make it easy to view your suggested repairs by sending a convenient text link with details about what they’ve seen and assessed. They’re happy to discuss further and clarify things with you as well. I will definitely go back.


Jan 17, 2025

These guys really pulled through for me when I had an emergency (on Christmas Eve day to boot!). I’ve since had maintenance work done with them as well. They are kind, timely, honest, and fair pricing. Couldn’t recommend more!!


Jan 07, 2025

Always have given great service on all vehicles I’ve had. Really kind folks, they recently did a small repair for free after a full service


Jan 07, 2025

Always reliable and trustworthy.


Jan 07, 2025

Easy delivery, easy pick up. Always dependable.


Jan 07, 2025

Excellent work like always. I don’t take my truck anywhere else. Highly recommend.


Jan 07, 2025

Friendly and fair


Jan 07, 2025

Great communication, patient with explanations. I love the texts with photos, recommendations, and price quote breaking everything down. 10/10 best auto mechanic in town, would highly recommend.


Jan 07, 2025

I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door, and they promptly looked at my car and provided both a time and cost estimate. The work was finished even earlier than expected. The whole process was so easy and everyone was very nice, will definitely return for future needed work.


Jan 07, 2025

Matthew at John Ellis &Son was very helpful and communicated with me in a timely manner. Although my outcome was not ideal, I will consider going back to them in the future and will recommend them to others. Thank you guys.


Jan 07, 2025

Took my car in for smog check, the repairs were handled quickly and efficiently No complaints. d


Dec 07, 2024

As always, John Ellis the mechanics checked & expertly prepared my RAV 4 for a long 2 weekroad trip all across California!!! Upon return, they arranged for a specialized locksmith to create a new electronic key for the one I had lost!!! First rate service & attention to detail!!! 💪👍🙏🏻😂


Dec 07, 2024

First time I used John Ellis &Son for service on my F150. Transmission and Transfer case fluid change. Great service at a good price. Definitely recommend them to anyone.


Dec 07, 2024

Great team of guys willing to go the extra mile. Would recommend.


Dec 07, 2024

Great, honest service. Online platform for scheduling and quotes is absolutely incredible and efficient. I won’t go back to a chain service location for as long as I live in Sacramento. You want a painless service solution - these folks are your ticket to a smooth process.


Dec 07, 2024

I brought my car in because I had a flat tire and I don’t have a spare so I just wanted them to fix the tire. They did just that! They were very courteous and it took no time at all. I would recommend their garage to my friends and family.


Dec 07, 2024

I came in with a tire pressure issue in the morning. Everyone was super helpful and accommodated me right away even though I didn’t have an appointment. I was able to have my car returned before end of day which was a HUGE lifesaver. The entire process was seamless and they communicated with me the entire way. Would definitely recommend!


Dec 07, 2024

My experience at John Ellis & Son‘s has always been positive. They take extreme care of your vehicle. They are honest and do not charge for something that turns out simple as my recent problem was,. They solved it quickly and I will continue to bring my car to them for all of its maintenance and other issues.


Dec 07, 2024

Really easy to get an appointment with short notice. Friendly service too.


Nov 07, 2024

Fast and on time repairs. Friendly knowledgeable staff.


Nov 07, 2024

Great service!


Nov 07, 2024

Just had my vehicle serviced at John Ellis & Sons. They are so great! Knowledgeable, friendly, and very efficient! They are also great at communicating with updates! Would highly recommend!


Nov 07, 2024

Once again John Ellis and son comes through. My rear brake light was not working and and then my trunk wouldn't open. I brought it in for a diagnostic and they gave me a quote. They called shortly thereafter saying that they had completed the work. They found the issue in the wiring and completed the work sooner than expected and charged me almost half of the original quote. They are my go-to mechanics and I trust them more than I've ever trusted anyone with my car.


Nov 07, 2024

The service and the experience there at John Ellis shop was a good one. I only wish that Matthew would have remembered to remind me of my 10% seniors discount but then I guess I should’ve remembered myself I’m the senior,always a great experience at John Ellis shop


Nov 07, 2024

The shop was able to get me in quickly. Everyone I talked with was friendly and reassuring. They kept me up to date on what was going on and the time frame. Easy Peasy!
