Joe’s Auto Parks

I’ve just been harassed by the homeless man sitting right in front of the kiosk where one pays for parking but by JOES parking attendant named JAIME. Jaime is yelling at me and harassing me for not paying at the kiosk. I told him that I was paying with my phone. JAIME then starts to harass me and starts to take my phone to see if it’s true that I am paying with the phone app. I couldn’t believe this was happening.

Management shut off electricity. Elevator breaks down every six weeks. Raised rate twice last year. On site staff is great. Management is horrible. Don’t bother.
Overpriced!!!

Just turrible!
I pay for a monthly pass, but the pass itself is nearly impossible to obtain. You can only get a pass at the office b/​t 7am-​430pm, which is pretty inconvenient to begin with if you have a job, but every time I show up at the office they’re either out of passes, have some kid in there who isn’t authorized to give passes, or some other stupid reason for not being able to give me the pass I paid for. Without the pass, you have to pay for a ticket, even though you already paid $ 100+ for the monthly pass.
Also, they will tow your car to different lots without notice. Who does that!!! I walked to my car one morning and the lot is empty. So I walked from parking lot to parking lot trying to find an attendant and there’s my car, in a lot a few blocks from where I parked the night before. So unless you want to play hide n seek with your car in the morning on your way to work, I don’t recommend parking here.
Sadly, this 1-​star review and all the others mean nothing because Joe’s has a monopoly on parking in DTLA and could care less how bad they are because there’s no where else to park. I do feel a little better now that I’ve vented, but unfortunately I’m stuck with this crappy parking company.

I would never recommend Joes to anyone I liked. Just paid for monthly pass 2 days ago and when I went to get my car today… the lot was full of vehicles from a film crew. My car was no where in sight. I went to the «office» at 220 Spring St only to be told to call the other office. I spent more than 30 minutes on the phone trying to get an explanation & more importantly to find my car. Apparently, at 2am the night supervisor authorized the tow company to tow & move all cars from lot 246 so that film crew could use it; no one who has already paid to park there was notified. In addition — no one could tell me where my car was for over 30 minutes. Terrible customer service & real shady business tactics. I wish I could give them ZERO stars.

This place is a joke. You can expect to pay $ 125 per month for parking, but you’ll only be able to park there about half the time.
You can expect to be «relocated» any number of blocks so they can make some extra cash to accommodate film crews for days at a time. No, they won’t reimburse you. No, they won’t give you any notice. If your car is in the lot by the time the film crew starts to arrive… oh well! They’ll tow it wherever it’s convenient and you’ll likely have to pay to get it back.
Even if there’s no film crew taking up your entire lot, if there’s an event downtown and they can charge $ 20 per car for parking, your lot will be full of cars and if you’re a monthly parker… oh well!
The management is equally as ridiculous. They could care less where your car is or what problems you have and it doesn’t matter how far up the chain you go.
Pay the extra couple bucks a month and park in a reputable lot. With all the extra cash you end up handing over as a Joe’s parker, you’ll still end up saving money.

DO NOT PAY FOR MONTHLY PARKING HERE!!!
JOE’S STOLE MY CAR.
i wish i were kidding… but I’m not.
Today, myself and 19 other MONTHLY parkers had their cars taken out of the lot and were charged $ 225 by the tow company to get our cars back, cash or CC only. At first I thought my car was stolen, and it was by a tow company, that Joe’s knowingly has a deal with to take cars at 4am that they claim doesn’t have the sticker displayed (which was «on my seat») when I called Joe’s and spoke to the manager he said «we don’t care». It was a nightmare — if you care about getting to work in the morning on time or happen to always have $ 225 on hand to bail your car out then i guess it doesn’t matter.

Elevator is broken. Don’t park here unless you are ready to walk down and back up 5 flights of stairs that smell like pee and have homeless people sleeping in them. Kind of a safety issue, but hey, what do I know, I’m an idiot who pays $ 175 a month to park here.

DO NOT PARK HERE!
Parking was $ 10 max. I used a $ 20 dollar bill on their ticket stand and got a dollar back.
WTF.
I tried to call for assistance but no one responded.
With a $ 19 charge, and no help, you’re better off trying to find a spot at the meters or spending $ 10 on valet at the San Pedro parking area.

Agree with other Unilocalers. The people here jack you. Left sat night before 1:30 but guy at exit station would not let us out unless we paid double the rate. He claimed it was because we stayed past midnight. Maybe he had a starving child to feed.

Like playing games with your car?
This review is for the Joe’s Auto Park at 433 S. Main St.
Within the first 2 weeks of parking here I already regret it.
$ 110 per month (not bad) ²⁴⁄₇ access no guard or gate.
Go to this lot to get my car and… Film crews have taken over the ENTIRE lot.
Luckily my car was not towed, but I was told 2 others were and that they had called to have mine towed but the film crews were working around it while the tow truck was en route. WTF?! I paid for MONTHLY parking. Luckily I got there first.
I call the corporate office and they tell me that Joe’s doesn’t tow cars with monthly passes. (but the film crews will still have you towed, Joe’s wont) A near miss on a $ 400 tow.
2 days later, my car is still in another lot blocks from where I paid for monthly parking (due to filming) they ask me to leave my keys, because I am blocking a car.
The next day I return for my car… the car is there but the keys…“They are now at a different lot“
The attendant gives me the WRONG address on the WRONG street and tells me I can pick up my keys a few blocks away. After much searching, I realize he told me my keys at the wrong address and I m left wandering DTLA asking any attendant I can find at the many Joes parking lots if they have my key. Finally, 1 street west and 3 blocks north, I find my keys.
THIS PLACE SUCKS DO NOT PARK HERE!

I have been parking here since I moved to Historic Core. Monthly parking is ²⁴⁄₇ for $ 140. The parking structure is covered until you get to the top level, 5. I have had no issues parking here. Staff has been friendly. The elevator has been iffy and sometimes it will be out of order. I got stuck in it once. However, when the elevator does go out of order, they are very prompt to get it repaired.
I would not recommend anyone to park overnight here. Their parking «day» starts at 4am. So, for example, if you were to come in at 10pm on Friday for $ 9 a day, and leave on Saturday morning at 9am when the price is $ 10 a day, you will get dinged for both days and you will have to pay $ 19. However, for daily parking, it’s $ 7 and it gets more expensive on Friday and Saturday nights as well as Art Walk days – up to $ 10.

six bucks to park all day which is cheaper than some places up here in Norcal.
