Primarily Japanese Auto Service
I have always felt that the personnel really cared about me and the issues with my vehicle. Professional and consistent, they have always done a great on the repairs. They were highly recommended by three friends, I'm so glad I took their advice. Evelyn, thank you for your kind words and for trusting us with your Prius!

We are so happy you joined the Primarily Japanese family and we look forward to seeing you at your next service! The Primarily Guys always provide me with upcoming repairs to help.me get my budget ready. They are honest to the core; my struts began some leaking a year ago (est $1000) and I brought it in for an oil change and accepting the fact that I probably have to get the struts done.

Your engine cannot run without proper lubrication. At Primarily Japanese, we recommend that you change your oil every 3 month or 3000 miles. This will eliminate excessive engine wear and will improve your gas mileage. Regular oil change can keep your vehicle newer, longer.

Our oil change service includes: Up to 5 quarts of oil; New oil filter; Chassis lubrication; Examine and filling power steering fluid, transmission fluid, differential fluid and brake fluid; Inspecting belts, hoses, air filter and breather elements; and Inspect condition and level of coolant in the cooling systems.We also rotate the tires, reset the tire pressure and inspect the complete brake system.
My 2013 Toyota Avalon would shudder periodically when traveling, so I thought possibly the transmission needed service, ie. a transmission fluid change. Sure enough I took the Avalon in to Primarily Japanese for the fluid change. I have found them to be honest and extremely good on Toyotas. The Avalon doesn't shudder on the road anymore and even though it was more expensive than I thought it was well worth the money.
During this time, there are currently no WAITING appointments available and our appointments are booked out 1-2 weeks. Tucson Auto Repair is committed to ensuring effective communication and digital accessibility to all users. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and apply the relevant accessibility standards to achieve these goals.
Don't let the name, "Primarily Japanese", fool you. Yes, we specialize in Asian automobiles. However, the vehicles we service at our Tucson car repair shop also include Foreign & Domestic vehicles. Why? Because most Tucson households have a variety of auto makes and models parked in their driveway, and we are happy to service them all.

This is an incredible repair shop. Joe and his team care about every customer. I have been in many shops over the years and don't recall ever seeing one cleaner.
If you are looking for a shop that will care for your car like they would if it was theirs, this is the shop for you.

I am sure they are a fine mechanic group but for my 1999 Miata MX-5, they were asking for $175 JUST for inspection for a CEL which I needed downstream O2 sensors replaced. Absolutely ridiculous. I ended up finding a compatible sensor on Amazon for $35 and had another mechanic do it for $90.
I am certain they do inspections to find other things wrong with the car so they can charge more.

I asked them to check EVERYTHING and they did. In addition to everything above, they repaired a leak in the windshield washer bottle hose. Replaced a filter in the cabin A/C system - first ever replacement in 21 years and it needed it! Replaced worn-out windshield wiper blades. Timing belt which was shot was replaced. A couple of small oil leaks were found and seals replaced. A dye was injected into the new oil to help find other micro oil leaks. Various washers, seals were replaced. I couldn't be happier.

Joe - Thank you so much for taking care of my below concern carefully and with humble nature. You were so responsible during the call with me to answer my concerns and ready to fix it. Now I got why Primarily Japanese is got so much value among other customers. You were very kind enough to address the concern without making any disturbance to my other schedules. Much appreciated. And as always I would highly recommend Primarily Japanese to my friends as there is a guarantee of taking care of our concerns.

Don't book an appointment on their website. It is not reliable. You

As a recent transplant to Tucson from Dallas, finding a reputable automotive repair shop was high on my list. For years, I had this experience in Dallas. I asked for recommendations and spent a good deal of time reading reviews.
Primarily Japanese stood out, and they did not disappoint! I needed an oil change, and a tire rotation was added as a courtesy! I was also preparing to get my car inspected, so they gave me a full report on my 2011 Dodge Journey. No issues, a couple of things to monitor, and clear and concise notes came with my invoice.
Their auto shop is the cleanest I have ever seen

After many trips to the dealer I was frustrated by the costs of every type of repair. Found Primarily Japanese by a women who told me about their service in a Frys parking lot. From the 1st phone contact I could tell a good experience was in my future. Let me know what was needed with the service and the cost. Stayed in touch through out the entire process, advised on things but never pushed. Costs were much less than the Lexus dealer and I felt like they cared about my car and not my credit card. I only gave 5 stars because that's all I could give. This a 10 STAR SHOP. Do yourself a favor and

This is the very best shop in town, Hands down! The owner actually came to my home to pick up and drop off my vehicle. We've used primarily Japanese auto for years and are always treated so well. An honest and fantastic mechanic is just hard to find!

I have been taking my Nissan to Primarily Japanese for years. They always provide exemplary service, at reasonable and fair prices. I recently had an issue with carbon build-up that required a new intake manifold, and not only did they take care of it, but provided me with a rental car during the process. I would definitely recommend Primarily Japanese for all of your automotive needs.
