As an owner of a Volvo that is now 15 years old, I feel fortunate to have found this company. Friendly, professional, fair and honest, my car is running like the day I bought it. Theyre the best!

After having my Toyota SUV at another shop and having the issue not solved, this shop was a relief. They are very detailed in their work. They inspected my vehicle and sent me photos of what needed attention. They left it up to me to fix what I wanted. They have the equipment needed to troubleshoot failing parts and program the new ones that require it.They are very professional and Im glad I found them.

Ive gotten my oil changed here a couple times and both times were easy to schedule and get my car in and out. I will continue to use them because of their professional manner that they helped me with my car. Plus they are very knowledgeable about my Volvo so its like taking it to the dealer without paying the dealer price$$$

Got a pre-purchase inspection. Very detailed in the report and service, gave advice on how to present the information to the dealer. Also, since they knew we were from out of town, they offered to squeeze us in if we needed another car looked at that day last minute.

I was recommended by a friend to come to Ewing Auto b/c of the quality of service and workmanship. Im not a mechanic by any means, so its always a little nerve-racking to seek out help in the automobile repair department. Anyway, it was a very wonderful experience the entire time. They took the time to explain what had happened to my vehicle: engine light, cracked radiator, gas cap, etc. I highly, highly recommend Ewing Auto for anyone seeking car services. Thank you for such a great experience.

The best automotive repair place Ive ever been to. I brought my car in for a specific problem, plus a general inspection. The did their inspection and sent me a link which provided any issues broken out by urgent attention, future attention, good, tires. Plus they send a link where you can approve or disapprove any/all the repair options. Super easy to use, and they are very helpful if you just want to call and let them know what to do, you dont have to use the web option. Overall, Im very pleased and probably going to them for all my future needs.

The Ewing team did a great job on a necessary whole-engine replacement of my vehicle. They were courteous, thorough, and thoughtful in evaluating options for me to make an informed decision. I will continue taking my other vehicles to them in the future when needed and I highly recommend Ewing Automotive.

If you have a Subaru look no further than Ewing! I trust no one else, not even the dealership when it comes to the maintenance of my car. I can always expect honest answers and great work, they really know what they’re doing! I also appreciate the non-pressured conversations when it comes to my car. They never try to trick me into getting repairs done that don’t need be and on many occasions taken the time to educate me regarding the problems with my car. GIVE THEM A TRY! You won’t regret it!

I contacted Ewing Automotive for my 2010 Volvo XC60 after having a very bad experience with Principle Volvo. Hands down from the moment I called in I was greeted and spoken to very professionally. Michael was the representative who took my service order and asked me to bring the car in right away. As promised the diagnosis was done promptly, and a follow up call letting me know the underlining issue was an ignition coil. Michael thoroughly went over the quote with me, he explained the initial cost and how soon the car would be ready. Overall, experience was top notch. I will definitely continue business with Ewing Automotive.

Mike walked me through the process and made sure I was clear on the work that needed to be done, what needed to be done right away and what could wait. The inspection was thorough and included pictures of the places that needed repairs. The work was done in good time and the price was less than at other places. The first of my repairs were done about 3 months ago and I have no complaints. Company even brought my car back washed each time. Much appreciated.

We heard about Ewing Automotive from our best friends, and we’re so happy about the recommendation. We have a Chevy Tahoe and a Toyota Tacoma, and we have been so frustrated in the past when we took our vehicles to dealerships for service and repairs. Our experience at Ewing Automotive was a breath of fresh air! The employees and technicians have been professional, thorough, prompt, friendly, and more! They also identified existing problems the dealership never outlined on their frequent “multi-point inspections”. Although no one looks forward to car repairs, we’re so happy to be new and returning customers at Ewing Automotive. Look no further for your car repair needs!

My window would not go up-and-down it was broken and I had a 97 car so they had to look around and try to find apart to make it match they did find one and it works really well and they were very fast and efficient weapons so I would definitely recommend them

It’s easy breezy using Ewing. They pay attention to the details and make the decision process easy for repairs. I also trust that they are being straightforward with what they recommend needs to get fixed rather than trying to up-sell. Highly recommend!

Review №32

Ewing automotive is by far the best auto shop I have ever been to. They go above and beyond to help! Michael even went ahead and cleaned up my old inspection sticker that NJ did a horrible job at removing. After that, he saw my sunroof seal was messed up so I explained that it is expensive to fix which is why I have not done it. Michael and another man from the shop worked to temporarily fix the seal (until I can get it fixed) to prevent it from getting worse, without me even asking and with no charge. They are honest, quick and even gave my car a wash before I picked it up. I am really sad to be moving away from such a great shop since great mechanics are hard to find. This should be your go to shop!! They are professional, extremely nice and honest!!

Review №33

My car began to shake, so I hastily pulled off the road into a nearby parking lot. I checked out my drivers side front tire, and observed that one of the lug nuts had clean melted right off. I scanned the nearby mechanic garages, and settled on Ewing Automotive because of the great reviews, and how close it was to where I had to pull off.Im grateful, and impressed with the process of getting my ole jalopy rocking again. They dropped me off at work, once I brought my car in. They were clear communicators. They got it done, and I look forward to bringing my car back again, when the time comes.The people are genuine, and knowledgeable. They are not just trying to pull a blindfold over your eyes, as they provide a clear inspection of what your car needs, and respect what youd like to get done.Thank yall for your great work. I look forward to seeing you again!Humbly,Austin J.

Ewing Automotive has an outstanding group of macanics. I find there work to be outstanding. There are no surprises when you pick up your vehicle. And most of I all trust Mr Ewing and his staff. I find them to be very honest and straight forward. I take all my vehicles there for all types of services large or small. I highly recommend this shop for all your vehicle repairs and maintenance. I have know Jason for years and his honesty is beyond reproach. I highly recommend Ewing Automotive.

I recently moved to San Antonio from Wisconsin, and I had no idea where to go when my car was on the side of the road not going anymore. I started to look for automotive places near me, and I called Ewing to see if they accepted my warranty. They answered and were very professional and nice and once they told me my warranty was accepted I got towed there. They worked calling my warranty and made sure everything was settled. I wasn’t sure how long it would take but I got my car fixed in only 3 days, and that’s including waiting for parts to arrive! They even stayed after hours just to work on my car when the parts arrived to make sure I would get it as soon as possible and not have to go another day with not having a car. I am beyond happy I came across there place!

Review №41

Took my car in with thinking that my a/c compressor was going out and was prepared to spend a lot of money. They determined that it was the radiator/condenser fans causing the vibration which saved me over $800. This is definitely my go to shop and will recommend it to anyone. Thanks again guys.

Dropped off a Subaru Forester for a pre-purchase inspection short notice. A complete online write-up with pictures was provided thats incredibly convenient for both giving to the dealer and for your own reference going forward. Theyre very helpful and knowledgeable people - I will definitely be taking my vehicles to them in the future!

Review №49

I blew a brake line on a cross-country road trip. I limped it to these guys and they fit me in that day. The employees and owner were very professional and easy to talk to. The price was a pretty steep compared to back home, but I had an emergency fix and a short timeline in which I needed it done. My motor blew before I made it home from my trip, so I guess the expensive brake line fix is the least of my worries haha

Review №57

I brought my 2014 Subaru Outback to this shop for the first time this week. The customer service is incredible; the owner, Jason Ewing, and his second-hand man, Michael Poehler, are incredibly kind and run an honest business. Michael went out of his way to shuttle me to a nearby coffeeshop to get work done. Their system for reviewing inspection recommendations is top-of-the-line; they take pictures of everything, and its accessible online with all itemized prices listed. Very transparent. I had a fantastic first experience with these guys. Found them on reddit where other customers were raving. I spent an hour or so in their waiting room, and the relationship they have with their customers were authentic and committed--the proof is in the pudding there. Cant recommend enough!

Jason and his team are extremely accomodating and professional. As a woman who knows little about her car, they are very patient when explaining what my car needs repaired to be safe, what is a priority to fix, and whst can wait for a bit before being addressed. They have very up to date technology for assessing mechanical functioning in volvos and this helped me to understand what was wrong with my car. I never felt taken advantage of. I definitely am a repeat customer and will refer all of my fellow volvo owner friends to their shop! Oh, and w/all of the COVID going on, they left my car spotless inside and out after they serviced my car. Stellar service!

I have been going to Jason for all my auto repair needs since he opened at the beginning of the year. With 4 cars and 5 drivers, I use Jasons skills a lot. Every time he has done an outstanding job and been great to work with. I love having a person I can go to that I trust and I know is doing the right thing for me. And He is VERY REASONABLY PRICED! I am looking forward to him moving to the bigger, better shop soon.Update: Jason is even better with the bigger shop and a great staff. I’ve been with him now for 3 years. I don’t take my cars anywhere else. I tried taking a car to a closer garage once, and learned a hard lesson. Very few mechanics are as honest and thorough as Jason.

Ive been taking my Volvo to Johnnys for over a decade, and have never been less than pleased with their service. These are good people and experienced mechanics; they are part of an informal network of Volvo specialists that trade expertise to stay on top of their game. Now that they service Lexus & Toyota as well, I feel that I can shop those brands knowing that whichever type I buy, they will be taken care of properly.

Review №74

I visited with Jason about some car trouble and I could tell he was honest and not just trying to make a buck. Other mechanics had just quoted these outrageous amounts without even physically looking at the car. Jason briefly looked at it because I just stopped by but said hed like to drive it around a little bit to be sure what the problem was so he could make an accurate quote. I really appreciated his approach and his integrity. Will use in the future.

A couple years ago Jason replaced head gaskets on my 2003 Subaru forester, 40,000 miles later still going strong. I had my brakes worked on and he replaced a abs pump that was bad and I stop on a dime now. I had replaced my power steering pump and rack and they did a alignment on the newest up to date alignment machine in the area. the wheel balance is done properly I have them rebalance tires when I get a new set because they balance them correctly. it doesnt feel like somebody is bouncing a basketball in the car. They fit me in and got me going out promptly and texted me when the car was done. great team.

First-rate repair! Took my daughters 98 S70 to get it ready for going off to college. Explained to Shaun that I mainly wanted to make sure it was dependable. He went over the car and made a comprehensive list of things that needed repaired and things that were broken but could wait a bit. Very professional, and he even punted out that many of the things i could do myself.

Review №83

Johnnys is still great!Used to be owned by an older couple about 2-3 yrs. ago That old couple ran this auto shop for decades Ive heard. Those people were kind, honest and did good work. The new owners (Jason, I think?) are also good at what they do, dont overcharge & you dont feel taken advantage of as many other auto places in town will do. All these google reviews are true! Theyve always done good work on my XC60 and they are even certified to do Toyota & Lexus (and Subaru, I think?) in addition to their specialty of Volvos! The cost is significantly less than the dealerships, which helps anyones pocketbook :)People feel safe, not swindled. Would definitely recommend if you have any of these named vehicles and looking for a good, honest shop - take your business to Johnnys!

Im new to Texas and was terrified to look for a new mechanic. After trying a few different shops and mechanics I found Jason Ewing at Ewing Automotive. Jason is fantastic! Ive now brought multiple vehicles to him and he has taken the time to make sure they were taken care of properly without ripping me off. As long as Im in Texas I wont go anywhere else. If you want it done right by a mechanic you can trust Jason is your guy.

I used to have a family mechanic, but after trying out Ewing Automotive, I cant say Ill be going to my previous mechanic anymore! Jason Ewing not only knows what hes doing, but explains in detail whats wrong, and why he is doing what he does. He is very knowledgeable, and is a dead honest man. I highly recommend Ewing Automotive, because its affordable, things are done right, and you will never have to worry about rip off pricing.
