What People Say About Us

After having our fuel line cut, I was really in a pickle one Saturday, until I was referred onto Johnny. He immediately agreed to sort out a tow truck to take the car to his workshop and was so great to deal with. So much so, that when the fuel line was cut AGAIN, despite living in Wellington City and him being based in Porirua, we went back to him and again was over the moon by the level of care we received. Best experience ever of a mechanic, cannot recommend him enough. Two massive thumbs up.

Johnny, you are an amazing human being and are absolutely smashing at what you do. A genuine man who takes care of his customers. You not only provided good service but also a good experience in a set amount of time with superb communication. Keep up the good work. Ashton D'Silva Ray White.

I’ve used a few mechanics in Wellington but will be taking my car to JB Auto from now on. Johnny did a service and a few other things which were all explained upfront, and there were no hidden surprises. The workshop is a 2 minute walk from the train station so it’s easy to drop the car off in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon if you work in Wellington. Awesome service and high quality workmanship- no hesitation recommending. Cheers

We would highly recommend Johnny, he provided fantastic service, he was very helpful and his communication was excellent. Johnny carried out the repairs to my daughters car very professionally and was very reasonable.

A very capable, Honest and reliable guy. Takes good time to explain the problem and solution. Even drew diagrams on the board to explain. :-). After a first visit I am now a regular for both my cars. Thanks Johnny.

I recently took my car to Johnny to fix a couple of minor issues as well as a bigger problem with the steering column. Johnny was honest and up front about what needed to be done. He was very efficient and finished the job earlier than expected. His service was excellent and I would gladly recommend Johnny's services to anyone.
