I love this place! They are kind, honest, they will let you know what repairs need to be done right away, and what repairs you will need to do soon. I had a question about a weird sound my car was making after some repairs, and they told me to bring it back so they could hear it. Diagnosed it as finally sounding the way it was supposed to (LOL) and didn’t charge me for the visit.

Took my car in to get a diagnosis as it was making a loud grinding noise when I would turn. Although I did not follow through with my getting my car fixed because I could not afford the cost, the interactions I had with the technician, Roger and the receptionist Eve were amazing. They were so kind and helpful throughout the entire process! I will definitely be coming back here when I can.

I have been taking my vehicles to Japanese Auto for 5 years and they have always done a great job and gone the extra mile, not to mention the cost of repairs are less than one-half of what the dealer charges or used to charge me. The owner, Dan leads from the top down and is in the shop most days, as well as working on the vehicles when needed. The service writers - Roger, Eve, Mike & Kevin are always very helpful. The drivers (Craig & Mario) are very courteous. I would not consider taking my vehicles anywhere else.

Glad I found this place. I needed a wheel alignment and tires balanced. Arrived around 9:30am on a walk in. Though all the bays were humming with activity they were able to get my car done in about an hour. Â Prices are reasonable and service was excellent. The facility is very clean including the restroom. I'll definitely take my vehicles back for other services.

This is my new mechanic for all of the regular maintenance and repairs that my current car and all my future cars will ever need. They have my trust 100%.
To make a long story short, after getting a quote for $5700 worth of repairs from a local dealership (mind you, this is after already paying $2800 for work that I thought would solve the issue), I took my 2014 Subaru Forester to Roger and he not only accurately diagnosed the issue, but he got my car repaired in just a couple of days. The amount that he charged me? $800. Now my car is driving as good as new.
Thank you Roger! I will be referring

Longtime returning customers, Japanese Auto is always very accommodating. We recognized that the VW engine lost power so we took it in right away. They fixed it in two days. Their prices are very reasonable and the quality of the work is outstanding. Thank you!

I brought my in-laws 2013 Toyota Avalon here for a brake service and oil change. I provided the brake parts and Japanese Auto was happy to perform the installation and charged me a fair and competitive price for their labor. Early one morning, after previously calling and requesting a reservation, I dropped the vehicle off for the work to be completed. Roger was professional and detailed orientated with the check in process as he walked with me to inspect our vehicle and answer any possible questions. They are a busy shop and I was pleased that he took the time to verify the necessary details of

Japanese Auto Center was fast, reasonable, and efficient! I took my car in because there was a noise that I keep on hearing, and it got louder as time passed by. I called, got an appointment a week later, and they were able to diagnose the problem, and got it all fix up in one day! The price was reasonable too! Thank you! Will be returning for sure!

This is the perfect place to bring your car too and especially if you find it hard to trust other mechanic shops out there.. for the ones that aren't mechanically minded this is the perfect place to go to. They explained everything that needed to be repaired on my car in layman's terms and they're super trustworthy. The environment is very clean and including the restrooms. I brought my car to them at 7:00 a.m. in the morning but I like to be early so I was there around 6:45 a.m. and before I even walked up to the door the owner greeted me and he knew exactly who I was and took my car right in

I have been a customer of Japanese auto for approximately 20 years. The Techs. .are awesome, you will never have take your vehicle back for the same repairs. They do everything right the first time. Dan is an outstanding owner and the best mechanic in America. The business is a one stop shop. I reside in the High Desert, and Japanese auto is well worth the Drive. Keep up the Outstanding work Japanese! You Guys are the BEST.......

Being a customer of Japanese Auto Center (JAC), I felt respected by their volunteers and staff T.E.A.M. I appreciated JAC's vehicle safety check, provided by the Automobile Club of Southern California (AAA).
And I value Japanese Auto Center's thorough invoice of the necessary repairs for my mother's vintage Nissan-Axxess.
The staff at Japanese Auto Center was even so kind enough to recommend another business, for additional car repairs.

I purchase my tires at America's Tires and had been referred to Japanese Auto Repair for tire alignment.
I had two tires replaced recently and thought I needed an alignment. Made an appt arrived and went to the waiting room.
A few minutes later Kevin returned with my keys and said all was good l. Another alignment was not necessary.
Honesty!! I was so impressed. Service could have been performed and I wouldn't have been the wiser.
Since my first visit I've been receiving emails with service due on my car. I've continued to take it to the dealer even though it's out

The first time I went here, the owner was there and he was very friendly and helpful. I went in because my car was stuttering at freeway speeds. After I picked up the car from them, I drove it onto the freeway again and the problem happened immediately. When I went back, they replaced something else (for free, which was nice of them to do!) and the car ran fine for a few months.
Then a few months later, I started having problems again. I took it in again and one of the guys behind the counter wasn't the friendliest nor the most helpful person. I left it there for over a day and they said

Let me start with how easy it was to schedule an appointment. I did it through yelp and i got a quote too. When i got to the shop, Eve was the person who helped me. She was awesome! They are honest about the job they will do and the costs. She told me they would check first if I really need to change the cabin filter and if not they would not charge me. They also have a discount for AAA members. Price was reasonable. Will never go back to the dealership.
Highly recommend this place!
