Car Repairs at Johnny's Auto Repair
Radiator Repair & Recore
The only dedicated radiator shop left on the High Desert. Repairs, recores and replacements without driving “down below”.
Fuel Tank Cleaning & Repair
Over 30 years cleaning, sealing and repairing gas tanks — including 2006–2009 Mercedes-Benz tanks with internal pumps.
Engine Rebuild
When a tired engine is worth saving, we tear it down, machine and replace the worn internals and put it back together to spec — often for less than a replacement. D Street shop only.
Transmission Rebuild
Slipping, harsh shifts or a transmission that won't engage doesn't always mean replacement. We rebuild the unit with new clutches, seals and hard parts when that's the smarter repair. D Street shop only.
A/C Repair
A High Desert drive gets miserable fast when the vents blow warm. Weak airflow, lukewarm air or no cooling at all — we track down why and get the cold back.
Brake Repair
Squeaking, grinding, shaking, a soft pedal or a longer stop are all worth a look. We inspect the whole system, pinpoint the fault and restore your stopping power.
Engine Repair
Knocking, overheating, rough idle, lost power or a lit Check Engine light are your engine asking for help. We find the cause on foreign and domestic vehicles before it grows.
Oil Change
Clean oil is the cheapest protection your engine gets, keeping moving parts slick and shielded from heat and friction. We change the oil and filter and keep you ahead of needless wear.
Battery Service
That slow crank when you turn the key is usually a warning. We test the battery, terminals, cables and charging system so you know their real condition before you get stranded.
Alternator & Starter Repair
Dead key turns, a battery that keeps draining or flickering lights often point at the starter or alternator. We diagnose it properly instead of swapping parts and hoping.
Cooling System Repair
A climbing temperature gauge turns a small bill into a big one in a hurry. We check the radiator, water pump, thermostat, hoses, coolant and leaks to find what's running hot.
Suspension Repair
Your vehicle shouldn't bounce, wander in corners or clunk over every bump. We check shocks, struts, bushings and related parts so the ride and handling feel right again.
Fluid Service
Several fluids lubricate, cool, clean and protect expensive components — and they're the easiest thing to forget. We check them and tell you what needs attention now and what can wait.
Tune-Up
If your car no longer starts quickly, idles smoothly or answers the throttle like it used to, a tune-up is due. We service the ignition and maintenance items that keep an engine sharp.
Vehicle Inspections
Far better to find a problem in the bay than on the shoulder. Our inspections catch leaks, wear, damage and developing faults early, while they're still small and cheap to fix.
Fuel System Repair
Hard starts, hesitation, rough running or weak acceleration can trace back to fuel delivery. Your engine needs the right fuel at the right moment — we find what's interrupting it.
Ignition System Repair
Misfires, shaking, hard starting or a sudden loss of power point toward ignition trouble. Plugs, coils and related parts work as a team; we find the one that quit instead of guessing.
Belt & Hose Service
A cracked belt or weeping hose looks harmless right up until it strands you. We check belts and hoses for cracking, fraying, swelling and leaks before they cause a breakdown.
Preventative Maintenance
The cheapest breakdown is the one that never happens. Scheduled maintenance catches worn parts, leaks and tired fluids early so repairs happen on your terms, not the road's.
Heating System Repair
Heater on and still shivering? We check the heater core, controls and the cooling-system parts tied to them to find out why warm air isn't reaching you when the temperature drops.
Drivetrain Repair
A new clunk, a vibration or a change in how power reaches the wheels shouldn't become your new normal. We inspect the drivetrain and keep power flowing smoothly and reliably.
Wheel Bearing & Hub Repair
A hum or growl that grows louder with speed isn't a radio-volume problem. We check the wheel assembly and catch a failing bearing or hub before it damages anything else.
Timing Belt Repair
The timing belt keeps your engine's internals moving in exact step, and a worn or snapped belt can wreck them. We inspect and replace it at the correct interval to avoid that bill.
Timing Chain Repair
The timing chain keeps critical engine parts synchronized. Rattling on start-up, sluggish performance or warning lights can signal wear — we diagnose and repair it before damage spreads.
Axle & CV Joint Repair
Clicking in turns, vibration under acceleration or grease slung near a wheel means the axle or CV joint needs attention. We inspect boots, joints and axles and fix it early.
Transmission Service
Automatic or manual, we handle transmission repair, rebuilds and control-module programming so shifts stay smooth and predictable.
Transmission Replacement
When a transmission is too far gone to rebuild cost-effectively, we replace it with a quality unit and get your shifts smooth and dependable again.
Check Engine Diagnostics
Advanced scan tools plus hands-on testing let us name the actual fault behind that light rather than selling you parts on a guess.
Engine Replacement
A failed engine doesn't have to mean a failed vehicle. We source and install a replacement engine that fits your car and your budget, then stand behind the work.
Brake Replacement
Worn pads, scored rotors, leaking lines or a soft pedal can all call for new brake components. We replace what needs replacing and make sure your stopping power is back.
Smog Checks & Exhaust
Smog testing along with exhaust and catalytic converter repair — street legal, quiet and passing again.
