I opened this Yelp! page for Doug's shop because of the work and service that he has done for us…read moreover the past year. I could not be happier that Doug opened up a repair shop near us. I own a 2001 Hyndai Elantra that is in excellent shape. A good portion of the reason it runs so well is because of Doug. He has done some major engine work on my car, and on my son's Sephia. In fact, my son's Sephia needed a new engine; Doug worked within a network of used parts on the west coast and found us a major steal on the replacement. Better, he took the time to road-test the car, and he gave free adjustments to his work -- he guarantees all of his work. He changed the timing belt on my car, and when he did, he made other adjustments that helped the car idle at a better rpm. My 12 year-old car now is getting 29.2 miles to the gallon because of his adjustments. I like that! The reason that I will keep Doug as my main mechanic is because he is a, well, geek, through and through. I would refer to Doug as a gearhead, but the title would be limiting. I think of him as a geek as the ultimate compliment, because I have never met someone who is so intent on working on a car and fixing it. He also keeps the old pieces that he has replaced, and he explains the damage on them, so he operates with integrity. Frankly, we're lucky to have him as our mechanic. P.S. I have no idea why the location sticker is putting Doug on First Street in Yelm, when the address is out of town. Please ignore the address sticker. Use Google maps.

I had a great experience with A1 Japanese Auto Repair and Jay, the owner…read more After getting a very high quote from the dealer for a water pump replacement on my Toyota Sienna, I brought the van to Jay for a second opinion. He was straightforward, took the time to explain what actually needed to be done, and quoted me a price that was literally about half of what the dealer wanted. While doing the water pump, Jay recommended replacing the thermostat since he was already in that area. He was clear that there would be no additional labor, just the cost of the part ($31), which felt honest and practical, not like an upsell. He also inspected the serpentine belt and told me it was in good shape and didn't need replacing, which further confirmed I was in the right place. Communication was clear, pricing was fair, and the work was done efficiently. Jay comes across as knowledgeable, genuine, and focused on fixing what actually needs fixing, not padding the bill. If you're looking for a trustworthy shop for Japanese vehicles and want straight answers without dealership pressure, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend A1 Japanese Auto Repair.

(Yelp led me to the closest mechanics and I'm glad to have found the many positive reviews at Jimmy's because it was close!) It was a short wait and simple fix to get us back on the road (water in the ignition coil; missing a seal) and as a single mother, I AM SO GRATEFUL that Earth Angels like Jerry exist and don't take us for a ride Also, Jimmy's has a very cool and clean lobby; hip velvet sofas instead of plastic chairs.

We took our vehicle to Turner Automotive to get fixed. We were told they would contact us to let us…read moreknow what was going on with it. They did not. Their communication is horrible. We had to constantly reach out to them to find out the status of the vehicle. When the vehicle was supposedly fixed we were told we could pick it up, but the vehicle was not at Turner Automotive when we arrived. They had taken it to a dealership without telling us and they had not brought it back. We went to the dealership to get the car, it was having the exact same issue as when we dropped it off. We contacted Turner Automotive, they told us to bring it back and it was probably a part that they had replaced so it would be a warranty issue. We took the car back, we were told it was several different issues, they kept changing what they thought it was. They never told us we owed anything. They had the car for quite a while and we were still having to reach out to them for updates. When the vehicle was finally done, we picked it up and were were told we owed additional money. We would not have had Turner Automotive fix it if it was not a warranty issue. The original repair was over $3,000 and it did not need to be done. It did not fix the issue at all. The second repair was over $500. The person that told us we had to pay that said there was a miscommunication and that we had to pay it. The original repair never should have been done since that was not the problem. Turner Automotive misdiagnosed the vehicle and did not make it right on our end. Their communication and customer service is horrible.
