These guys attention to detail was second to NONE. Matthew did the service and was 100% thorough and detailed.

The details such as, "we've got everything from here" "we have coffee ready for you, feel free to have some" "please let us know how we do, and how our service is" That is what makes a business so far exceed its competitors. We will refer everyone to this team. Job well done!

From the moment I walked in, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to clearly explain what was going on with my vehicle, gave me an honest estimate upfront, and didn't try to upsell anything I didn't need--which is rare these days. What really impressed me was their efficiency and attention to detail. The work was completed quickly, and everything was done right the first time. It's obvious they take pride in what they do and genuinely care about their customers. Finding a trustworthy mechanic isn't easy, but these guys have earned my business for the long haul. If you're looking for honest, reliable, and top-quality auto service, I highly recommend them. -- Bob Hendrix

They will tell you they have identified the problem with your car and how to solve it, yet after they have implemented their solution they will inform you it did not solve the problem but they will still charge you for it. You still need your car repaired so now you are trapped, next they will pacify you by assuring you this time they have definitely identified the problem and how to solve it, so you give them the go ahead and cross your fingers. A few days later you will receive another call informing you their new solution did not solve the problem either but they will still charge you for that too. They will drag this process out for weeks and squeeze you for 5 to 10 times the amount of their original quote. I am not the only person to have this experience with Japanese Motor Works, they are notorious for it, ask around and see for yourself. You would think they would notice the lack of repeat customers and see it as a sign they might not be doing good business. Charging people for something that does not work should be illegal. What a pathetic way to make a living.

Turned out, the back tire on my car almost fell off - they diagnosed and fixed it Fri afternoon even though they were totally booked and couldn't schedule to look at it til Monday.
