Montclair Auto Repair

After calling around to get a smog check (and being quoted $60-$70), I finally found Joel, who quoted me an extremely fair price of $45. The customer service was excellent and I got a next-day appointment with Joel taking care of my car within ten minutes. It's rare to have a local auto repair shop where the owner is so involved and I would definitely return for repairs.

I love joel

I am dubious and suspicious of most mechanics but I have to say these guys will shoot you straight and charge a fair price for the work that's being done and even advise you on how to take care of small things yourself.

Our 1999 Toyota Camry would not pass the smog test, and we did not know what was causing the problem. The person who ran the smog test referred my husband to Joel's in Upland so we drove down to have them do the repairs and smog certify it. It took only 2 days to get it back and all the smog work is done! Now my son and daughter are going to take their cars to Joel's Automotive for all their automotive repairs.

I went to 5 other automotive shops because my Jeep had a really bad vibration at 40-50mph. Thinking it might be the bearings, I went to America's tires, they said it could be suspension. I went to Phil's Undercar, they said it could be drive train or tranny. I went to AL and Lee's, they said there was NOTHING WRONG! Aamco couldn't give me the time of day then I went to Joel's, within 2 minutes he told me it was the U-joints and he said I was lucky to have even made it to him, they literally almost broke! Joel seems like a great guy that runs an honest, affordable shop. That's something that's all too rare these days. I'm recommending everyone to Joel's from now on!

Joel, the owner, is a true professional. Took time out of his busy schedule to personally go on a ride-along with me to diagnose the issue with my vehicle. Very personable and knowledgeable, obviously cares a great deal about his trade. Will definitely be using Joel whenever I'm anywhere close to the Greater Los Angeles area.

My sincere thank's to Joel's Automotive Repair-Upland. The service I received was outstanding. After receiving the disappointing news from the dealer that my Prius engine was in need of replacement I started making calls to find someone who specialized in hybrid motors and would provide me with a trusted second opinion. I luckily found Joel's Automotive online and made an immediate call. In conversation with Joel I had great confidence, as he was clear and precise and had an immediate plan of action and provided an estimate over the phone. I delivered the car to Joel's and his team who were professional, friendly and extremely helpful. After only a few days and with much appreciated text updates they made the repair without the costly replacement of a motor and had me back in my vehicle in no time and at the same estimated cost I initially received. I also received a follow up message a few days after delivery to make sure all was good. Joel definitely raises the service bar with stellar service. I am very impressed and very thankful. Thank you again and much appreciated. John N.

Best mechanic I have ever met. Honest, conscientious, and at a fair price. I wholeheartedly recommend Joel's Automotive Repairs.

Ever since I met Joel and going to Joel's Automotive I have been extremely satisfied with both the business and Joel.

Great service, great prices, great coffee, great place.
