I needed him to check to make sure the plugs were plugged into the right spots bc I had messed with them. The car was turning over but wouldnt crank. He charged $160 for the battery he said it needed and 2 hours of labor totalling about 450$ + tax. The glove box was taken off when I took it there. It was easier access to the plugs. The TWO hours of labor DIDNT INCLUDE PUTTING THE GLOVE BOX BACK ON! It maybe took 30 minutes to examine the plugs and put a new battery in. THEY GAVE FALSE # OF LABOR HOURS AND DIDNT DO ANYTHING BUT CHANGE THE BATTERY! WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE GLOVE BOX BEING NOT PUT BACK ON HE SAID DIDNT KNOW WE WERE SUPPOSE TO. AND THE CAR SHAKES NOW SINCE I GOT IT BACK!Do not trust!Comment to reply from business: The plugs were all in place already just needed to to make sure they were in the right spots. By torn apart means the two pieces of dash and a side panel were simply removed to access plugs, which otherwise is impossible as plugs are behind the panels. They simply snap into place. Bottom line this company falsified labor hours causing me to spend hundreds more! And knowing they would have had to remove the panels to access to plugs THEY COULD HAVE PUT THEM BACK ON AND THE GLOVE BOX.Also they never called to tell me my car was ready! I glad to call them after 5 days.

So all mechanics claim that they do auto electrical work but that usually only means replacing batteries, starter motors and alternators. If you have a real electrical problem with your car then you need a real auto electrician and Johnnys is the place. My mechanic could not fix my problem, the dealer could not fix my problem, Johnnys did. These are the guys you need when no one else can help.

Brought our 2011 Malibu there for a diagnosis, was running rough. After an hour they called to tell us it was no good, not worth fixing, and to scrap the car. Trailered it to a friends dad for second opinion, after a few hours of casual diagnostics determined it needed new spark plugs, and we were able to drive it home. Very disappointed in Johnnys Auto, had we listened to them would have scrapped a perfectly good car for $20 worth of spark plugs.*Unsure how to respond to owners reply so editing this comment*Car runs great. Did also replace the cats and now all check engine lights are off and husband drives it the hour commute to work everyday. Runs great, has great power, and as great of MPG as that car can get. We are very happy with our decision to get a second opinion, and keep the car.

No nonsense service people. They did the wiring repair quickly on my car and within my budgeted amount. But no one was wearing masks, so be careful when you visit.

What a wonderful group of technicians. Patrick is so skilled and thorough. He is bringing my 27 year old vehicle back to its original state. I could not get this kind of service anywhere else. I am very lucky that I came upon their service, certainly not the dealership.

Are there 6 or 10 start ratings??, these guys are awesome, rebuilt my old 1987 Force 85hp outboard starter in less than 24hrs... cant be more happy and thankful to them, special thanks to Tom. Great service, they know about customer service.

I highly recommend this place customer service was off the chain. They do a good job in electrical work, Cheaper than a dealership.

When I had a leak and subsequent electrical issues in my car, the guys at this shop mislead me about the services theyd provide. After a day and a half and $169 bill for an estimate, they told me they would only service the electrical and not actually explore the source of the leak despite having told me otherwise when I dropped the car off. I dont often write reviews, but if you - like me - are a young woman or are otherwise unfamiliar with auto repair, youll have to be really careful and explicit here to get the services you need.

Honest and knowledgeable. They are in high demand so dont be in a rush.

This place is a rip off. Got work done here on a rare classic car. Guy did everything he could to try to keep my car. Had to take them to court. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the headache. Dont go here

These people are the most down to earth and kind individuals I have had the pleasure of working with. I spoke several times with Chris and Tom and they were both very helpful, amenable, and honest. If you have anything awry with your electrics, this is the place for you.

INCREDIBLE service here. Honestly I couldnt be more happy or relieved. After another shop jipped me hard, and told me the completely incorrect diagnosis for what was wrong with my car, I came here for a second opinion, having estimated almost 1000$ in repairs from the previous shop. All said and done I paid $303 for an amazing repair job that got my car back up to code and able to register and get new plates. These guys were friendly, understanding, empathetic, and accommodating, and above all they were honest. I highly recommend utilizing their service for your auto repair needs at any point and you can count on good quality, honest, impeccable work to be done at a fair price.

Just had some electrical work done on my boat; overall Im satisfied with the work and would recommend this service. They replaced a DC switch panel, rewired a bilge pump, installed a voltmeter, connected a GPS/chartplotter and replaced lead wires to the battery. Overall, the fit/finish of the installation was terrific -- its evident its a professionally done job. All fittings were properly wrapped and heat-shrunk with appropriate fuse/surge protection integrated into the circuits. I valued the opportunity to speak twice with the actual technician who did the work; he took time to explain the work, things he found and how he solved them. The service manager was professional and accurately set expectations in completion.

The most expensive place..they are just charge left and right 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

I had an electrical problem with my 2004 Lincoln Town Car that no one could seem to figure out. I took it to Johnnys Auto & Marine Electric. They were very patient while I babbled on about what was going on with my car and they found the problem and were able to offer me an affordable solution. I am so grateful to these guys and I absolutely recommend them for their automotive skills, professionalism and friendly service. They are the best! Thank you Tom and Hector!

He lied to me about fixing my jeep. I wanted them to find out why it wasnt starting. He said they found out why after looking at it for 2 hours. Which was $140 an hour. Then said the total was $375 plus an extra$400 if I wanted it to tun smooth. It ran great just wouldnt start. He said it ran like garbage. I said just fix it for $375 and I will look at it. I picked it up after hours because I worked late. It ran like garbage all the way home. I looked under the hood and one of my spark plug wires was off. Put it on and it ran great again. He was going to try and get another$400 out of my wallet for that. Then he also charged me for $140 an hour for 2 hours to find the problem. In that 2 hours he didnt see the spark plug wire was off. This guy Tom at the shop is a crook and I will never recommend them to anyone. Stay away.

Excellent customer service . They are very good in what they do . I highly recommend them for any trouble solving with your car etc.

Nice very professional and they went out of there way to help me with other issues without charging me .

These guys totally went above and beyond for me. I dropped the car of on Thursday morning. Its highly modified and had an electrical short...somewhere...that was draining the battery as it sat. They went through it top to bottom, found and fixed the problem in 3 hours. Amazing. Im pretty handy with cars and I could have spent weeks trying to find this issue. I was very impressed.

It only took them 1 hour to fix my car. I had two fuses go out on me and after that my car had power again. They were dependable and I knew I could rely on them. I talked to Patrick while I was there and he went above and beyond to make sure that everything I asked for was fixed.

I had my 99 grand Cherokee go out on me after work. Got it towed up to them through big dog towing recommendation. I got it towed there at about 9am and turns out my starter was the problem. They got it diagnosed and fixed all in one day. Very efficient, and hard workers! Cost me $460. I will definitely be going here in future if I need it.

Great Folks.Ive known Dwight the owner over 20 yrs.A rare decent professional.Outstanding Crew who know the auto electric business bumper to bumper.This shop is a Raleigh, NC Area Star City Gem.Trust them completely.Well managed Friendly Service.

Johnnys Auto Electric is an excellent electrical diagnostic and repair shop (and always will be). They installed my headlights with precision and it took them no time at all to get them wired up. Huge thanks to Patrick and Tom!

They are worth every penny they ask for my transmission wiring harness was burnt and it killed a lot of other stuff it took some time Tom kept me informed. They got me ready for the car show Aug 7 thanks again.

Good, Fast, Cheap: Pick twoJohnnys is my go-to for quality auto electrical work done quickly at a fair price. Tom and the staff were highly accommodating when I needed the windows in my Mazda 3 diagnosed and repaired, just as they were a decade ago when I needed to track down gremlins in my Jeep Cherokee. The Mazda had been to two other shops in the area for the same issue, and both times the repairs failed just weeks later. Not so with Johnnys. Im back to stock functionality, able to roll my windows down just in time to enjoy the half week of fall were bound to get here in NC.Please note, the term used for pricing was fair not cheap. For other reviews attempting to price-shame this shop, keep in mind that electrical systems are complex (increasingly so with further integration of computers into every corner of vehicle operation) and require a specialty focus to properly diagnose and correct. I wouldnt use the cheapest lawyer, or orthopedic surgeon, or contractor; why would I complain when another specialized service is pricing accordingly? My only complaint is a back-charge for labor completed in phase 1 (pre-hurricane Florence) that wasnt charged until completion of the work. Other than this hiccup (which is generally understandable when the whole state is staring down the barrel of a Category 4), the pricing structure and rate are in line with what Id expect from a specialty shop.

Johnnys fixed my 2007 Eclipse Spider convertible top after Leith Mitushibishi sent us packing with no solution. Johnnys was able to source a used motor, which saved us about 50% on the repair. They have excellent customer service and a tidy shop. Highly recommend.

I was referred by my Tow Driver after several Mechanics attempted to fix my electrical issues on my Toyota . Coming from the Customer Service Industries I have high expectations as a general rule. From Dwight to Tom I could not be more happier. They not only diagnosed the issue with 24 hours and had it repaired the very next day. It gets better they were closed by the time i got off work, I asked Dwight if he could leave my key in car not informing him that it was the only key I owned, arrived on a Saturday during none business hours and again Dwight saved the day showing up on his day off to fine out I only owned 1 key not only did he greet me with an amazing warm welcome he offers sum of his own freshly picked tomatoes and called a local Awesome locksmith to unlock my car.So when I tell you these guys are the most professional team that ive ever encountered I truly mean it!!! I just had to give him a big hug they made my day. Thank You again I will be a returning client and suggest anyone with electrical issues these are the guys you want to bring your vehicle to. Five Stars Customer Service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My experience was similar to that of Taylor James who previously left a review. Please ensure you leave zero room for interpretation of the work to be completed. My car was dropped off to be rewired utilizing a wiring kit I provided. My instructions were to rewire the car with the new kit and have everything connected and working like from the factory. Everything working from the factory meaning that everything that is rewired works like from the factory. Like Taylor James, there was tons of unrequested work completed on my car. I never would have thought that by leaving the car to be rewired that my motor would end up being retuned or that bucket seat hinges would be repaired. My car was set for dyno tuning after rewiring was complete so why would I request an automotive electrician to tune my car? Meanwhile, half the car remained unwired because the bill was getting out of hand. Dont get me wrong, the quality of work is fine but if it is mostly work that is unrequested, why do it and then stick it to the customer on the tail in? Being that the shop charges by the hour, it seems like a lot of things were done to add time to increase the bill. Now, Im sure a witty reply will be provided by the organization but Im just sharing my experience for the next customer.

They Are The Best I Normally Dont Do reviews But The Way They Conduct Business I Had No Choice I Would Recommend Them Any Day you will not be Disappointed 💯🙌🏾

Good work but there not cheap!

Hector is very knowledgeable and does amazing work!

Traveling from NY to Florida we discovered our alternator faild..found johnnys on the web and decided to take the car here. Glad we did..we just arrived safe in Sarasota the car ran perfect.thanks to Tom and the guys at Johnnys..I would highly recommend them.

When the dealer cant fix it, these guys will.A local Chrysler dealer (who Ill never visit again) replacedthe PCM (powertrain control module = engine computer) anda crankshaft sensor and then the problem returned becausethey missed the short in the wiring harness that was the truecause of the problem. Johnnys found and fixed the realproblem and it stayed fixed.

I had an electrical issue with an 09 Dodge Journey and a P0206 diagnostic code. I took the vehicle to another shop originally and the guy replaced the injector for the #6 cylinder; however, issue came back after a few weeks. Because of this the injector was replaced a second time (under warranty). The P0206 code came back after a few days and I was told to replace the PCM. PCM replacement cost $920 from Dodge Dealership. Day after replacing PCM - P0206 code came back.After talking to some guys at a parts store they recommended Johnnys as they are more geared towards electrical issues. Johnnys found that there was an opening in one of the wires that runs to the #6 cylinder and was able to repair. However, this was after they replaced the battery ($120) and ground terminations + 9.5 hrs of labor at $90 per hour for a grand total of $1084. Overall an okay place, just wish they would have found the issue earlier instead of later as the labor hours killed me.
