Johnson City Auto Repair

Ponder's is a great place to get your auto repaired especially if you work at the VA in Johnson City or at ETSU. So reliable and convenient. Take your car in before work and pick it up on the way home. Always professional, high quality work!

I always leave Ponder with a positive feeling. The staff takes the time to listen to your issue and they try their best to resolve any problems you have. My air conditioner in my van went out and instead of charging me for services that I did not need Brian told me what exactly was wrong and I should take the van to the dealer to fix since the air conditioner, which was still under warrantee. This was 8 years ago and every since Ponder's has been my go to repair shop.

Brian Ponder at Ponder Auto Repair has taken care of my personal vehicles as well as our company fleet trucks and vehicles for over 25 years now. They have repaired and serviced both domestic and import vehicles and we have always received quality courteous service. I’ve even had problems with new vehicles (still under warranty) and taken them to Ponder when the dealership can’t figure what’s wrong with them. Brian’s been able to diagnose the problem and send me back to the dealership to let them know how to fix it and not charged me a dime. If you want an honest reliable mechanic take your car or truck to Ponder Auto Repair.

My experience with Ponder Auto Repair was wonderful! We broke down 7 hours from home, and were referred here by a friend of a friend. We had to leave the car and travel back home, while they replaced the timing belt and all of the valves. They gave quick and honest estimates. Their was an additional problem they encountered and worked with us on cost, since the job we were having done was extensive! Their prices were beyond reasonable! When we were ready to drive back out to get the car, they were even willing to come in on a Saturday so that we could pick it up! They went above and beyond what i would expect a shop to do. The car ran better than it ever has on our trip home, and that was a 7 hour test drive! Once home i realized that they even fully reattached the front fender of our car, which had been partially detached since we have owned it! They really did go the extra mile. I certainly hope we don't break down again, but if we do I hope it's in towing distance of Ponder Auto Repair!

Brian is great. These are the most up to date techs in Johnson City. They have the latest tools and technology to fix anything. I would recommend this shop anytime.

Fast service, good communication, gave me a ride to work so I wouldn't be late!

Great service! I had a feeling my rear brakes needed to be replaced and called Walmart Automotive and they recommended Ponder! I called and they told me to drop it off the next morning and gave me a $170 estimate of how much it would cost to repair. I brought my car in to drop off and I had misunderstood the timing of the repair so I was stranded. They offered to take me back home on their way to a pick-up. I went back later to pick my car up and it was exactly $170 like they had estimated (no hidden charges there). I would highly recommend Ponder's and will return if I ever need another repair!
