He brought my daughter to her car and showed her a couple areas of concern That will need to be addressed in the future but not critical at this point. My daughter was really impressed with Bill's professionalism and willingness to explain things to her. She is a grad student at NCSU and needs to develop a relationship with an honest and reputable service center. From what she told me, it looks like she's found it. I trust my daughter's car to Bill and his staff. These folks have earned a strong reputation in Cary. They are definitely worth a look.

Very friendly, family operation that is a full service mechanic shop. Prices were reasonable and they took me out to the car and pointed out a couple of things.

I will be sending them all my business in the future as well. Highly recommend!!

This is a rather biased review. Happy Japs is not a huge, fancy outfit, it's locally owned, been in…read moreoperation quite some time, probably does 98% of their business via word of mouth. In fact, Happy Japs was mentioned to me by a carpooling coworker's hubby, and after trying to get a reasonable quote from several local Japanese car specialists for installing a sport suspension kit and upgraded brake pads, I went to Happy Japs for some related work. When he and his mechanic saw the kit, as well as the other parts I was installing, he told me he could not only do it, do it economically, but "we WANT to do this for you." See, performance stuff is right up their alley, which I hadn't expected. I was struck by his candor, and we did the whole shebang that morning. The owner, Rex Deffenbaugh, is a long-time racer and regional organizer for the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). The office is not fancy, but it is filled with years and years of racing photos, trophies, knick knacks. These guys take their car enthusiasm seriously. Don't expect a tidy, sterile operation, there are other Japanese car specialist around who can offer you a fashionable waiting room and complimentary espresso -- this is a working shop, and the atmosphere is IMHO a throwback to the old days when mechanics' shops were about the cars, not about impressing the clients and hiding the grease stains. Now, since taking my Euro Accord to Rex, I've joined the SCCA and been to a race at his invitation. I take my car on the track, where it stretches its legs (and pulleys, and cams, and brake horsepower) and makes me proud. I've been to the local chapter meetings, and met a fine group of folks associated with the amateur racing world. So there's the bias ... I have known Rex a few months, consider him a trusted acquaintance verging on friend, so OF COURSE I wouldn't anything but a great Yelp. But if you have a classic Datsun/Nissan, Toyota, Honda, Mazda, or maybe a newer one, Happy Japs is a small locally-owned garage you could entrust it to.

They hold that right as business owners, which I understand completely. One of their staff members was not aware of this and it was not until after a $120 diagnostic that I was notified they don't accept payments from insurance/warranty companies. I explained to the owner that I had multiple phone calls with this staff member about using my warranty company as payment. Staff is not educated on the shops policy and client is bitting the bullet! No refund.

Mr. Craig Johnson will work until he is assured he has made the right diagnosis and you will be 100% satisfied. Was having trouble with 2017 Sienna. Took it to the Toyota dealership was told I needed a new transmission. Without hesitation I took it to Johnson's transmission. They properly diagnosed the problem and fixed the problem. No new transmission was required. Thank goodness there are still honest people around who are not selling a job just because of the $$$ they will make. Honesty, integrity and reliability are all part of Johnson's transmission. You may need to wait for the finished product but it is worth the wait.

I stopped on the exit to check the oil levels and hopefully add a little oil in order to get back on the road, but the engine was making a loud ticking noise. There was smoke coming from the engine bay and oil sprayed all the way up the back window of the car. That's when I decided that it was best to leave it there and have it towed to the nearest automotive shop. Thankfully, JT&AS was no more than 7 miles away from where I was stranded. Not only was I in the right place at the right time, but JT&AS is a shop that I'll begin going to regardless of the other shops that are closer to my home in Raleigh. The service was impeccable. Honest, timely and thorough are only a few ways to describe JT&AS. If you're ever in the area, or better yet, just make the drive to go to JT&AS because you won't be disappointed.
