& Service

Quality workmanship and accurate repairs go well beyond any certification or award on a wall. Our Service Technicians are dedicated and motivated to stay in tune with the latest technologies that vehicle manufacturers introduce each year. They invest in training as well as the equipment and tools necessary to perform any job accurately for maximum reliability. 

We know how important your vehicle is to your daily life — it’s not just a means of transportation, but a trusted companion that gets you where you need to go. For over 30 years, we have been treating every car we work on like it’s our own, and every customer like family.

Whether its getting you to work and home, an important family gathering, or just a relaxing weekend getaway, we understand the peace of mind you want when your car is running smoothly. Our goal isn’t just to fix your vehicle — it’s to build a lasting relationship with you and your vehicle so you can feel confident every time you hit the road.

BAR logo
Roughly 50% of all major automotive service repairs can be avoided with routine maintenance. In fact, the California Department of Consumer Affairs’ Bureau of Automotive Repair suggests “finding a BAR certified repair shop before you need one.” 
We at Joy Automotive Service & Repair do not take this lightly… and the logos you see here are proudly earned by our staff through experience, dedication, and continuing knowledge building to earn your vehicle’s trust.
