I had a couple very good experiences with the shop. I have spent a lot of money with them. When I last picked up my car I asked if they had addressed the problem with the clutch and they said that it just needed to warm up and there was no problem. Didn’t sound right but I trusted them. Was able to drive the car twice before the clutch went out. I called and asked how they would compensate me because now the car would have to be towed in. They said they would not help me out. They continue to bombard me with service reminders while my car is stuck in my garage.
I had great experience. I had my tire error sign on for a while even with inflated tire. Gentleman who was was working was able to resolve the issue in minutes & did not charge me any thing. Highly recommended!
HIGHLY recommend. This shop is amazing. Great customer service and skilled technicians.If you have a Japanese car in need of repair do not hesitate to bring it here! Thank y’all again for getting my Mazda running again, it’s riding PERFECT
Davis was awesome, fully booked for the day but still was able to get an out-of-towner in and serviced!! You guys over there are awesome!! Truly professionals!!
They were great and got me right in and finished when they said they would! Very informative and knew what they were doing!
Can’t speak highly enough of these people. They worked fast and were diligent about documenting their work. I really appreciate their text message service and mobile invoices. Thanks again
David and his staff are dependable and reliable. I trust their advice and I am pleased with their service. I have received the best care from them for several years.
Amazing service and will work with you every step to inform you regarding what is needed for your car. the team is beyond professional at what they do.
The manager & mechanics were honest and respectful. There was a lot of work required. I was kept informed of their progress in a timely manner.There were additional issues that came up but they stuck very closely to original estimate - 10 thumbs up!!!!
Thorough, Courteous, Worked to accommodate my schedule. Always a job well done!
Been searching for someone local since the wonderful mechanic I’ve used for years & years is now retired. I’m looking for honesty, knowledge and affordability. Brakes starting making a horrible noise so I decided to give this place a try. David seems honest (Jury’s still out). So far, It seems that his tech did a very good job with the brakes (time will tell). Paid about $850 (not cheap but doesn’t seem too unreasonable). So far, so good!
I feel confident when taking my car intoJapanese Auto Repair because they do an excellent job.
My vehicle is always professionally serviced. Service is as described. They are prompt and provide exceptional communication. I have never had a bad experience. I trust Japanese Auto Repair Specialists with all my vehicles.
Given the pandemic is still a big deal, this shop has done a great job of staying open and keeping you safe. It may not be the most convenient experience at the moment, but I think its for the best for everyone. You drop off the key in a box, they do the work, and when ready you pay online and just go pick up your car. Never do you have to be in direct contact with any other person.
Most affordable and honest place I’ve been to. I’m not taking my car anywhere else.
David and his team are always great. Love that they give me a status update on the vehicle thats neat and easy to understand.
I explained what was happening to my 2010 Lexus & David said they would diagnose it & give me a call. It was my control arms! They did an excellent job!! I love the way it drives now!! I will be a lifelong customer of the Japanese Auto Repair Specialist!!
Ive brought my Honda Pilot here several times. They gave a straight and clear diagnosis. I was able to make determine what tasks I could do on my own, replace shocks, struts, lower control arms, sway bar links, and brake pads . Then I would bring it in for the other tasks. I have had them troubleshoot and repair an issue of bad spark plugs. Next visit was timing belt and water pump replacement, it was due. They work with a car rental agency that bring a car for you to pickup/drop off at the shop.If your trying to find a shop that is not high price with a list of required tasks (dealership shops). If your trying to find a shop that you will not have to bring it in again for repairs of the repairs done or afraid to drive in the area or wonder if you will ever see your car again (local non-certified shops).David repairs on my vehicle are done right and they are fast for the tasks that are required.Toni explains clearly what the issues are and provides the information for me to make a decision on what needs to be done first.I will keep bringing in my vehicles here.
Gentlemen was polite and honest in everything he did for me, Very good customer service...
Exceptional service. Timely, high quality. Courteous and honest. I’ve been going to Japanese Auto for 11 years and will continue to do so.
I got a tuneup from Japanese Auto Repair and my tire pressure indicator replaced. They did an excellent job. I’m very pleased with them. They also sent an Uber to pick me up which was great.I would recommend them to work on your car.I have had my car repaired there several times so far and have been very happy with their work.
Services were performed in a highly professional, cost-effective and efficient manner.
David Le and his staff has been servicing my family’s vehicles for 30 years. We always trust that the work will be done right and at a fair price. I highly recommend Japanese Auto Repair Service.
Great service & they were very in during the process
Professional, honest, reasonable, keeps great records on what routine maintenance is needed. Never does the up sale that those darn dealer garages would always do!
They did my inspection on my truck. The service was great and convenient
We have had regular service on our Toyota 4-Runner for the last year. Very good service, reasonable prices. They have developed safe procedures to handle business during virus.
Great shop! My car is running like new, took a while but quality work!
Needed major attention on a 2007 Prius, I researched and found Japanese Auto Repair Specialist. Their longevity and great reviews stood out so I called and spoke with David. My son dropped off the car, David diagnosed the vehicle and documented the findings with pictures and recommendations. David quoted a very fair price, work was completed in a timely manner and our whole interaction was very professional. I highly recommend Japanese Auto Repair Specialist, its not often you find an auto repair shop you feel good doing business with and that youve been treated fairly and honestly. But Ive found one! Thank you David.Ric
Very good repair station with confidence,kindness and good quality service.
Great shop! I brought in my 2001 lexus is300. They were professional and worked with my budget. They make sure you know whats wrong and the options you have. Mr.David was great and explained everything. Great shop. I will be using them for any future repairs that are out of my league
I brought my 1986 Toyota pickup Truck for a valve adjustment I paid them $350 they did not adjust my valves I took It to two different mechanics for a second opinion and they said they didnt. it sounds the same way I took it in. Very disappointed.
It’s hard finding “the package” - honest, good prices, and great work - with this place, you got it!
Replaced a bad wheel bearing. Accidentally replaced the wrong side but was very professional in handling the matter and replaced the correct side at no extra charge. I trust this shop because of professionalism and transparency like that and if the need arises, will return here for repairs.
I’ve used this repair shop for all of my vehicles (and my wife’s cars) ever since we moved to Farmers Branch. The work is dependable, great quality and above all - honest. They have kept our vehicles running in top shape for years. They’re a hidden gem !
We have had regular service on our Toyota 4-Runner for the last year. Very good service, reasonable prices. They have developed safe procedures to handle business during virus.
I have been a customer of Japanese Automotive for several years. They fix it right the first time. They are very honest, reliable, and polite. I highly recommend them to anyone.
David was on point with my car service. It was fairly major repairs. He met the projected completion time. My 97 Toyota 4Runner needed the attention that David was able to give. I will be a repeat customer in the future.
David kept me informed during the entire process. Detailed evaluation and reporting of the repairs to be made. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing work on their Honda.
Brought my 2011 Toyota Sienna here based on the reviews...its hard to find an auto repair shop with good reviews! All the oil had leaked out of my engine and with the car having almost 170,000 miles, I wanted to find a reputable place other than the dealership to take it to. Not that I have had any bad experiences with Toyota of Grapevine, I was just hoping to find an alternative to take my old workhorse to. In any case, Tony and Co. determined the issue (oil cooler hose) and I was up and running within a day. Great job guys!
Very reliable and trustworthy.
JARS is a decent shop. i come here for oil changes (although i am car centric and not happy about their oil filter choices). They do good work but pricey.. they quote the highest pricing on a job before they do the work and if you do not research and go over the work, youll pay the full premium rate. Do your research, call around and know what your getting into before you get the quote. (Quoted around $600 for a driver side cv axle replacement, actual cost and time - 45 mins and $125 - 3 bolts to remove, a seal replacement and of transmission fluid replacement).
David and his mechanics have taken care of my car for years.Highly recommend.
Had a bad timing belt. They replaced everything that needed to be replaced. My car runs better than before💯
We were completely satisfied with Japanese Auto. David kept us informed of work and charges. Great auto shop.
Completely unprofessional, manager did not explain that it was 200-300 dollars for a diagnostic when I talked to him on the phone, not to mention the fact that he gives an awful attitude whenever talking to him. Complete waste of time.
Inadvertently had left lights on wifes Toyota RAV4. Ran 4+ yr old battery down. drove for several hours but battery could not recover. Called David @ Japanese Auto mid afternoon. He was able to install & return vehicle prior to 5 PM. As always excellent service & my top notch confidence in Davids repairs. Along with his ASE 24 month/24,000 mile warranty on all of his shops work. Recommend Japanese Auto repair service without hesitation. Vic L.
Ive been a customer for over 20 years. Davids work is excellent and I can always count on him to tell me what I need to do.
Afternoon before I was headed to west Texas, my engine light came on. I showed up to Japanese Auto mid afternoon - asking for help. David was able to work me in and fix my problem, so I was still able to pull out of Dallas the next morning!
Awesome, integrity, honest and great use of up-too-date tech tools on the computer. David, Lisa and Toni are great to work with and theyre friendly too. Theyve taken care of my 2002 RX300 for years and they get my RAV4. Thank you very for taking care of my vehicles. I really appreciate!
Very professional, friendly and reasonably priced. I explained the issue I was experiencing with my vehicle to them, so they took it out on a test drive, explained to me the cause and corrected it. I was very pleased with the results and service I received. Thanks!
Oil change plus some other things that needed attention.
A terrific auto repair shop! Their work is guaranteed with Quality and care.
David was awesome! He was very responsive, answered all my questions and did an excellent job on my Toyota 4Runner. We will definitely be going back for any future services.
Ive been using this shop for a while now for our Sequoia, and recently bought a Lexus GS that ended up needing to be caught up on maintenance. These guys are honest and charge more than fair prices for the with they do. I really like the web system they use to share their report of your car. They send pictures and descriptions of every point they inspect so you better understand the services they may recommend.
David and his crew provide outstanding, reasonable, honest and professional services. He has been servicing my Lexus for the last four years .... I would never use anyone else .... highly recommend Japanese Auto Repair.
I wish I could give this company a ZERO!!!My first time here because I thought it has ok reviews but didn’t notice the reviews were not recent.I was quoted a diagnosis fee of $115.I called & David says they couldn’t find the problem & need another $115 fee to continue to diagnosis to find the problem.What in the world?He says he found the problem; it’s not running.I said, I knew it was not running, that’s why it was towed here to find out why.Is this even legal?I will definitely find out from a judge!!!
I take my 3 cars, (2) F-150s and (1) BMW, to David and Mike regularly for over 3 years now. They do great work, do the repairs/job in a timely fashion, email and text you when the car is ready, send full reports with before and after images of the work done on the car, warrant their work and do it all for a reasonable price with an easy to read car health report. They will be fair and honest and have a nice waiting room that is pet friendly (important to me). They arent the cheapest, but they are also not the most expensive. They come in somewhere in the middle, but you never have to worry about the work and the customer service is among the best. Ive taken my cars to many shops, but none compare to their quality and service. Highly recommend. I even forgot my wallet one time and they trusted me enough to let me go and call in the payment.. given Im a regular, but still.. you get the old school handshake trust from a shop where these days can be hard to find in Dallas.
Brought in my car for the inspection. Failed the first time. However, Tony and his crew advised of what mt options were and the time to complete it. I was back in the next day and passed with no problem. Great service and quality!
Tony was very helpful with my 1995 Tacoma. It is a sentimental vehicle to me and he took good care of it. The top to bottom inspection was awesome because it showed me everything that needs to be done in the future.
This is my first experience with Japanese Auto Repair. What a great find! These guys really know what they are doing. Had a check engine light on my 2016 Prius come on. Upon arrival at their shop, the first thing I noticed was that David, the owner, had all of his training certifications and credentials for Toyota up on the wall which gave me a high level of comfort. I also got a real feeling of trust when dealing with Tony who took care of me. These guys are honest and take the time to explain the issues. Their pricing was also very fair.I took it to them at 11am yesterday and they had me out by 5pm. I will be taking my Prius back to Japanese Auto Repair for any future work I may need.
Toni was very helpful and explained everything including the inspection fee (applies to repairs) and each step as he found our problem and before incurring further costs. Fixed our problem and costs were not beyond what we had expected and definitely within what they quoted us.Very professional and patient and made us feel like our car (and our money) was as special to him as it was to us.A little short-handed from the sound of it, but we still got next day turn-around.Well be back!
They do great work, and have never tried a hard sale on me. Am very please with the prices and work quality.
I get my oil changed here since the last place I went to regularly started to pressure me into repairs my car didnt need. Japanese auto repair has been friendly and helpful in making recommendation without any pressure, letting me leave without any extra services so I can research what I need done. When I do want extra services done I feel comfortable going back in to get them done.
As usual, I had good, reliable service for my car.
Quick and easy inspection. Its a busy shop and thats a good sign.
Great Service, fast, and honest. They leave no stone un-turned. They fixed my AC just in the nick of time before Summer the same day so I didnt have to deal with the hassle of not having a vehicle.They even found a nail in one of my tires and patched that up for me. They wont do any other work without consulting you first and will tell you if work is necessary or not. Very good experience and refreshing to find a mechanic shop that is actually honest.
Timely repair, clear estimates and explanations of repairs they suggest. Reasonable prices.
Im a GMC owner! David provides expert personal responsive service at a competitive price with a 6 month NO INTEREST payout plan.Turnaround today with a headlight problem was 2 hours.Thank you David Lee!
I have been bringing my cars there for over 5 years. They are very polite and inform me of everything. I highly recommend them!!! I am really glad they truly care about my cars!
Mr. Le runs a quite competent and reliable independent auto repair shop. Switched from dealership to Japanese Auto Repair, because I was more confident in Mr. Les quality and honesty.
Had a great experience highly recommend them .
Honest, very kind, and reasonable. You always get a full check on your car sent to you electronically. My nana took her car here for 10 years and I’ve been taking mine here for 5 years. Always great and reliable service.
Horrible customer service. The guy at the front desk was rude from the get go which made me want to leave but due to needing to get my inspection done same day I decided to leave it there with them. I asked to get a call if any repairs needed to be done to approve pricing and never got a call until everything had been done already. It was only a light bulb but I knew that going in and asked them about it because I didn’t want to pay labor fees for a simple bulb replacement on a brake light. Never once asked me what kind of oil I used just went ahead and used whatever they thought best which I’m sure was the more expensive choice. When I asked to see the charges that were incurred I was told I couldn’t get a itemized receipt of the work until I paid. Would not recommend!
Very thorough and honest.
Cant beat the customer service here! They did an inspection and recommended waiting before doing any work on my car. I greatly appreciate their honesty and integrity! Will definitely take my car back here when it finally needs service.
Fuel gauge was not working on my LX 470 Lexus and they fixed it in a half a day for 50% of the cost of Park Place Lexus. Saved me $500.Great place to take a car before buying for a through inspection with pictures and write up as well.
Quick, convenient and low cost service.
David and Michael (and their team) did a simply astounding job on my 2003 Infiniti G35.After the car was caught in a flash flood, they honestly told me the specific issue, which, in my case, thankfully led to an outcome MUCH less expensive than an engine replacement.Further, they performed a complete inspection, with photo documentation of anything else needing attention.Needless to say, Ill be back.
We have 3 cars and always seem to be having one of them serviced or inspected. This time, I had to reschedule an appointment (multiple times actually), and I was not pressured to get more work done than I wanted. The report was emailed to me so that I could review it on my time. They always remember me and inquire about my husband, who is usually the one to bring in the cars. I highly recommend Japanese Auto!
David’s analysis of my problem was accurate, and he explained it to me in detail.
David has taken care of all of my cars for more than 20 years. Hes a car care expert.
They do great work at an honest price. Significantly less expensive than a dealership and David doesnt try to push services on you that are not needed. He also stands by his work which is huge. Cant say enough good things about him and his staff.
Excellent work by dedicated mechanics
We wanted to have a used car inspected before we purchased and it was well worth the $150 to learn we have a little over $2500 in stuff that needed attention ... we passed on the car. Thanks guys
I agree with Sara B. I took my car to this place a few months ago (based on the good reviews I had read here) and I experienced the same lack of care from the owner. I got the feeling he was too busy to discuss the issue I thought my car had at the moment.So I took my car to All Star Japanese Engine & Auto Service where I received much better service. Customer service matters people...
I love this place! The Staff is friendly and they do great mechanic work!
I took my Nissan Quest 12 for the scheduled maintenance. This was my first time taking this car to service, as its a new to me car. Anyways, I got a coupon on my mail from Japanese Auto Repair, and made a call. The gentleman that picked up the phone was very polite. I scheduled my visit, went there and everything was ran very smoothly. Honestly not cheap, but I understand imported cars are usually a bit more expensive to maintain. I will definitely take my car for service again.
I came from Dallas to have my Acura serviced. Everyone was so nice and and honest about what I needed done now and what could wait. They usually have a shuttle service for local drop offs, but they called an uber for me since I was going back to Dallas. Ill definitely be back!
They stand behind their work. Everyone here is courteous and knowledgeable. Try this place first.
Honest people work here it seems. They wont sugar coat anything, and will come with realistic expectations and solutions.
Great customer service but lack advantageous pricing. Paid $50 for them to simply tighten one screw... enough said
Great experience. JB was very helpful. The detailed diagnostics complete with pictures is really valuable when making a decision.
Dave and Lisa handle my fleet of over 200 vehicles, we are very happy to have found them after looking for a very long time!
Mr. Le always takes excellent care of his customers vehicles and is very accommodating.
Called Saturday and explained the problem I was having. The shop foreman told me he could get the part and repair the car but couldnt do it that day because it was close to closing. So I called up there today and an asian man answered the phone, was told he didnt have the part and hung up. Called back and tried to better explain myself but he didnt seem to care. Was told I would get a call back from the shop foreman (which I never did) sent my relative up there only for him to tell them they charge $100 to just look at the car. The problem my family member is having with their car is VERY hazardous yet this man doesnt seem to really care about potential customers or customer service. WILL not go there nor recommend anyone to.
The battery on the control fob to open/close and do a lot more things for my 2006 Toyota Prius finally ran out. Guess 10 years was enough. Mr. Lee ordered a new one (I replaced the one my wife uses as a precaution.) Took 2 business days to order and receive the new parts. Prius now running on its second decade with new control fob batteries. Service from Japanese Auto Specialist was, as usual, prompt and excellent.
Good service and very well organised shop.
Super over price! ridiculous price! my friend show me this paper to me. it shows when she visited japanese auto repair on 2013 someday to change oil and air filter. she arrived usa 2013. so she didnt speak english well. and also she is she... she was good food to over pay. they kidding her. impose total 85.51 labor 50.99 parts 34.52 as you can see picture.they are honest price? I never think so!
Not happy with results. Came in to fix failed clutch with no other problems. Got my car back with a rattling exhaust.
