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. PLUS, this is the cutest bathroom sign I've ever seen! Thanks Jerry and Jimmy!

There are many shops that when a women calls they tend to treat them like they are inferior, not this place. Ken was beyond helpful and even provided us a place to call if we wanted a refurbished transmission as he knew we were looking into options to save money but yet still get the job done right. We had our transmission replaced with Mike's Automotive and even with a few hiccups, nothing that was their fault...just a few extra things that had to be replaced to get the car in running shape since it had been sitting for some time. The fact that I never felt inferior by their staff and they kept the communication open with us was truly amazing. We were looking for a good automotive place and this definitely will be the place we go to from here on. Thank you to the staff for making us feel like we were part of the family and process during the process of all of this.

I've now taken my 2014 BMW 535d to Larsen's Auto Repair a couple of times, and they've earned my…read moretrust. Most recently, I brought the car in after another shop told me I needed rear brakes, calipers, and suspension work totaling a pretty significant bill. Larsen's took the time to actually inspect everything and gave me a much more accurate picture. They confirmed the rear brakes were still in good shape (around 10mm), the control arm bushings were fine, and none of that additional work was needed right now. That kind of honesty is rare. They previously handled my front brake service, and everything was done right, no issues since. This time they also completed an alignment and oil service, both at fair prices. Mark was especially helpful throughout the process. He clearly explained what was actually needed versus what could wait, and didn't try to upsell anything. I never felt rushed or pressured, just informed. Bonus points to him since he's a fellow Atlanta Braves fan! If you're looking for a shop that will diagnose correctly, communicate clearly, and not recommend unnecessary work, Larsen's is a solid choice, especially if you have a BMW or higher-mileage vehicle and want straightforward, trustworthy guidance.
