Mazda Auto Repair & Service
Mazda service and repair at Johnny's Automotive. A shop that started as a race car garage, keeping MX-5s, Mazda3s, and CX-5s feeling the way you bought them.
My Mazda's fun to drive. How do I keep it that way?
Mazda owners tend to be a little different. Plenty of people buy a car to get to work. A lot of Mazda owners picked theirs because they liked how it drove, and they notice when something feels off long before a warning light shows up.
That lands well here. Johnny's started in 2006 as a race car garage, run by Brian and his wife Niki on one rule: put the customer over the money. Race work teaches you that a car only feels right when the boring things are right. Clean oil at the correct viscosity, on schedule. Brakes that aren't pulsing. Tires wearing evenly across the tread. Steering and suspension components that are actually tight instead of close enough.
That's most of what keeps a Mazda enjoyable, whether it's an MX-5, a Mazda3, or a CX-5 doing school runs. We follow the factory maintenance schedule Mazda wrote for your model and year, check fluid condition rather than assuming, and tell you plainly when something can wait until next time.
Our ASE certified technicians send you a digital inspection with photos during the visit, so when we point out a worn tire edge or a weeping seal, you can see it on your phone and decide for yourself. Repairs come with a 36 month, 36,000 mile nationwide warranty, and we're family owned, which is a long way of saying we'd rather keep you than win one repair order.
