My dad, Porfirio, has been struggling to figure out what was wrong with his car, he’s gone to 3 different mechanics and has struggled for months. Jonny immediately found the root of the problem and fixed it in a timely manner. Highly recommend.

I have been coming to this place for 2 years now! They are very fair on their prices. The maintenance is excellent. Johnny and Steve are great people and they're concerned about your issue with your automobiles!

Called for an estimate on what I could do to improve performance on my 2015 F250 6.2L. Was directed to Jonny, who surprised the *(&$ out of me by advising . . . there's really no need to do anything, as any improvements would be pretty minor, relative to the cost. Advice from a shop to not spend money, that's a straight up operation, deserving of my and your, business. Thank you Jonny!

I am extremely thankful that I found this shop. I was told by another shop, where my car sat for 5 days while they waited for me to try and locate a wiring harness, that the harness in question was a discontinued GM part and that I was virtually out of luck as far as my car was concerned. I called Jonny Lightning and spoke with Jon Kinny the owner, who assured me that they could make me a new harness. Not only did Jon and his crew come through with the harness but for a price substantially less than what a GM harness had originally sold for. I was sincerely thanked for my business, and informed that they are a Full Service shop. I was impressed, since it seems that as a consumer I do not often hear that type of sentiment very often. I have lived in Corona for 15 years and have tried more than my share of automotive repair facilities, and until now have never been fully satisfied with the service or repair costs. I would highly recommend Jonny Lightning to any of my friends and family and will be bringing all of my vehicles here for any and all future repairs!

We were referred by a long-time customer who said THIS is the place to go. We didn't end up getting my mothers car repaired here, but wanted to leave feedback because I am grateful for this company. The repairs needed were almost as much as the cars value, so we decided to go a different way with this vehicle. We received a good estimate, great communication, and great customer service. I live in San Diego, so I couldn't be there personally to deal with this issue. If did live there, Jon would get our family's business. This is an honest businessman.

Used to go to them all the time back in the day no problems. This last time was just bad customer service and sloppy work. Cost me more to rent a vehicle because they needed 2 extra days to fix same problem. Don't recommend unless you have a classic project car or and off road vehicle. Oh and Steve what a "character"...

FINALLY a mechanic you can trust wholeheartedly!!! This shop was recommended to me by word of mouth, and it is no surprise why. Let's first talk about the vibe: From the moment you step foot on the property, the whole crew is respectful and friendly. It's not the typical scruffy shop with scruffy dudes that make you dread having to repair your car - they don't take you less seriously or make you feel uncomfortable for being a woman in what is typically considered a man's world. VERY IMPORTANT for establishing trust!! Okay, now let's talk about the repair. I had taken my car elsewhere , and they couldn't figure out what was wrong and just made things worse, in addition to trying to insult my intelligence (I may not be a car expert but I'm not stupid!). John and Steve - the best duo ever - were so fast and accurate!! My old beater car runs beautifully and I fell in love with it all over again!! Seriously I hope to not need repairs soon, but when I do, I will no doubt come back to Johnny Lightning, and you should, too - they are simply wonderful!!! The shop that can :)!!! Thank you, John and Steve!!!!

Great shop, competent, helpful, honest and quick. I have used their service for over 9 years. I even followed them when they moved to the IE and I live in South OC. I have referred many friends and family and will continue to do so. They also have cool cars to look at whenever I am there to drop off one of my 3 cars for service.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Took my GMC truck to these guys after having it at 3 different shops. Nobody could figure out why it was stuck in 4 wheel drive. Off a recommendation, I found Johnny Lightning. Dropped it off and 2 hours later they called me and had already found the problem. I told them to go ahead with the repairs and gave them a LIST of other issues the truck had. They kept my truck for a couple weeks. They called me on every issue to let me know exactly how much prior to doing anything. Johnny Lightning has earned another life long customer. I never leave reviews, and they never asked or even mentioned a review, they were just great! Thanks guys!

This shop is great, solid group of guys and extremely accommodating. Some POS thieves tried to steal my catalytic and were unsuccessful. Despite being very busy, Johnny got my car up on the rack for inspection, and the damage was not that bad I would Highly recommend him automotive, including exhaust and fabrication.

Wow! What a breath of fresh air. After a bad experience with another auto repair shop in town that left my classic Cadillac with almost 0 driveability, I was referred to Jonny Lightning auto repair on Railroad St in Corona, CA. Jon and his service writer Steve are the real thing! They not only got my Caddy starting and running smoothly again at a very reasonable price but when I arrived to pick up my car it was washed and its spicy red finish and white soft top was gleaming in the sun. I came away with a good feeling that Jon really knows his stuff and that I will definitely return when the Caddy and the other cars in the family need service. Thanks Jon, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Cheers, Frank

Great experience, highly recommend! These guys are an awesome shop. Took my 1966 Stingray Corvette there to figure out an electrical, voltage issue and John resolved that easily along with redesigning the fan cooling system on the car to solve a major cooling issue with the car. They fixed an issue with the trans mount and linkage that was causing it to shift hard. Much more to list... Professional guys...they handled things quickly and at reasonably rates. 👍👍

Johnny lightning is a high performance Specialist. My radical street strip fuel injected 438windsor 68 Mustang was having major stalling and misfiring issues after another well known shop R&R'd my high compression 438 Windsor. Other shop had car 3 months and couldn't figure out the issue. Took to Johnny lightning and he checked everything and finally concluded the 30 year old 5.0 fox body transplanted PCM and harness must of went bad or possibly damaged by other shop. Johnny recommended the Holley Terminator X Engine management system, and my stalling problems disappeared. Car runs excellent now and zero issues so far. If you want a high performance auto professional then Johnny lightning is the place to go. He gets you in and out too, and doesn't leave your car sitting there while putting new customers in front of you like the previous well known shop did. Thanks again John and Steve. My 68 Mustang runs great and is a rocket from a dig...lol
