I went to Jiffy Lube on Saturday for a simple oil change and tire rotation, in the process, they ended up breaking off three studs from my back right tire and told me to go to Tire Kingdom to fix it. Tire Kingdom looked at it and said they don't want to touch it and there's nothing they can do to fix it as it's Jiffy Lube's responsibility. So now I'm sitting here with a car that is not operable and both shops don't know how to fix it, however, both said I should go to Japanese Auto Care to get it fixed. I came to Japanese Auto Care early Monday morning, fully expecting them to tell me to take it to a Mazda dealership or that they would be too busy to take me. To my pleasant surprise, that was not the case at all. Jimmy immediately said he would be able to get it taken care of and get me up and running same day. Jimmy called around to make sure that someone was able to provide the studs that were specific to my car, and kept me updated along the way. More importantly, while I sat there waiting for my car to be done (in a very clean and comfortable waiting room might I add), lots and lots of people filtered in and out, either picking up or dropping off, speaking to Jimmy as if they were family, considering they have been coming here for so long. Jimmy answered every single phone call that came through no matter how busy he was, and had such a kind and professional demeanor with each individual person he spoke to. Within a few hours I was finally headed home, thanks to Jimmy and team. They were able to do what other "popular" and corporate auto body shops couldn't. I know one thing that I have struggled with for the 11 years I've had my car, is finding a trustworthy, dependable mechanic, and I think I have finally found the one. read more

By far the best, most professional, knowledgeable and honest repair service I've experienced. I started bringing my Honda here for repairs and service over a year ago, after it broke down and another repair shop wanted huge amounts of money to repair various things they claimed needed fixing. I came to Jimmy at Japanese Auto Care, and it turns out I didn't even need all those other repairs quoted by the other place. Jimmy took care of what needed fixing and the car has been running smoothly, like new, ever since. Recently, I brought the car in for a tune up, oil change, tire check and rotation, etc. Great service, as usual. This is a long standing, family run business that provides excellent service for a very fair price. Jimmy is a gem, he is kind, caring, compassionate and honest. This is the only auto care service center I'll ever use. They are the best. read more

If you want to have a wonderful experience with your vehicle, bring it to Japanese Auto care in Boca Raton, Florida. read more

Honestly, quality work. It's nice being able to send my kids cars to someone I can trust.

I have a 2021 Subaru Forester. Brought it to Japanese Auto Care November 2025 because the air conditioner was blowing warm air. They replaced the O ring and filled it with Freon for a cost of $550. About 3 weeks later, the air conditioner was once again blowing warm air. Japanese Auto Care was closed for 2 weeks during holidays so I brought the car in on Jan 5. Now I am told it is the compressor. This cost me $1700. He tried to also charge for Freon but I told him it wasn't my fault that the compressor issue was not caught the first time and I shouldn't have to pay for more Freon. He agreed. Now 3 weeks later, air conditioner is blowing warm. I am NOT going back since I am out $2200 and they can't fix the problem. I am going to the dealer and having it fixed. read more

Excellent service and great value... I found my local car shop! Thanks guys for a job well done! read more

They were strongly recommended to me and it's been great! They're always flexible and honest about their scheduling, letting me know if a different day would work better. They've warned me months in advance of something that'll need attention but doesn't need to be done right away, which is nice for people who have to budget larger repairs. The parking area is quite crowded, but they've always managed to fit me in when something important came up. read more

I highly recommend Japanese Auto Shop. Jimmy has been taking care of our family's cars for the past 6 years. Having experienced disappointments with multiple auto shops in Palm Beach County, we were relieved to find Japanese Auto Shop. Unlike other shops that have damaged our oil caps or overcharged us, Jimmy and his team provide honest and reliable service. When it was time for Service A on my new Mercedes C300, the dealership quoted $700, but Japanese Auto Shop completed the service for a fraction of that cost. Not only was the service affordable, but my car also came back impeccably clean. If you're in need of an honest and dependable local auto shop, Japanese Auto Shop is the place to go. Trust me, I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

My sister introduced me to this shop, and it's now my go-to for sure. I'm one of those people that keep their cars for years and years. My current 10-year-old RDX is approaching 200K and Jimmy and his people are helping me keep this baby for a while longer! They helped me replace the alternator and battery, and later the compressor. Works wonderfully well. I really appreciate how they are explaining everything well and provided me with options. read more

As reviews all say - this place is awesome. Had a major mechanical issue, and they resolved everything, and had me back on the road SAME DAY. I been driving since 1984, and I'm totally impressed with Jimmy. He was so professional and just nice to deal with. If I end up moving down here they are the ones for me! Totally fair pricing - amazingly communicative - excellent work - knowledge- fixed!! Thanks Jimmy and the crew. Came here again today. If you are fastidious about keeping your car in excellent condition, you should go meet Jimmy. Best In town. read more

Japanese Auto Care - Jimmy is the man. - Auto Repair Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

I was made aware of this shop and it's owner by a FB friend. We were grateful for the referral and Jimmy (owner) was happy when I said a long time (20 year customer) recommended him). I thought we needed a complete radiator replacement for $700. When I arrived ar the shop, Jimmy determined that just an assembly was able to be replaced for $200 - Saved us $500 !! I'm pretty sure not many other shops / mechanics would have volunteered this solution. Coming from BklynToBoca, where we had a trusted master mechanic for over 25 years, we're thrilled to have a competent and honest shop to call 'home'. Michael & Susan Ackerman read more

Jimmy is awesome and easy to talk to. Respectful, knowledgeable, and sets the precedent that any and all shop should follow. Will definitely return in the future and highly recommend read more

I've used this garage for a few issues I've had with my vehicle. I find them to be honest, courteous and fairly priced. I would highly recommend Jimmy and his team of mechanics. I thank them for letting me wait for a speedy turnaround. They're the best! read more

Fantastic service! I will never take my car anywhere else as Jimmy takes amazing care of his customers and his shop does excellent work.

Jimmy it's been servicing my cars for 10 years. He's far the most honest and professional mechanic that I ever deal with. I give his shop 5 stars rating. read more

First visit, I went for new brakes they replaced two of them, but charged me for tire balancing and a $20 misc fee which they couldn't explain without asking me to approve the work first. I thought it was shady, but my wife convinced me to try again. Second time, I had a slow oil leak and they quoted me around $1500. I wasn't gonna let them cheat me this time so I took it to another repair shop. They fixed it for $450 labor plus $100 in parts. People are getting charged extra from this place and they don't even know it. Beware of wolves in sheep clothing and get a second quote. read more

Very nice service with good professional mechanics taking care of your vehicle needs at fair market price. Just saying.

As a former dealership girl, I cannot tell you the shock when Jimmy called me to say they checked everything and all I needed was an oil change and my car was ready. I even mentioned things ahead of time that may be an issue (I know, risky move) but he said, "nope, you're good." I will never take my car anywhere else! read more

Jimmy and his team are extremely honest and helpful. I was told by the dealership I needed new brakes and the work should be completed ASAP. I called Jimmy, not only did he ask me to come in the same day I called, but had me in and out in 20 min. He confirmed that my brakes were fine and didn't need changed! Super honest and highly recommended!! Thanks again read more

Years later and i would still give them 10 stars if i could! Owner Jimmy is still so welcoming, kind, and reasonable with pricing. He is a fixture in our community at this point lol sitting in the lobby is like a scene from cheers because its just that friendly. I recently got my engine replaced and they did a phenomenal job. Please try them out for all your auto needs, they will treat you like family (from the owner to the technicians they are all stand up men). You will not be sorry, thank me later! read more

Great customer service with honesty. Came in to check a weird noise in my car. They were very honest in telling me I didn't need new break pads even after I mentioned I thought I needed a new one. If it was a different mechanic, I'm sure they would still replace it to make money. He found the problem and fix it. Look for Jimmy. He is the man!!! read more

What can I say that hasn't been said before, Jimmy and his staff provide excellent customer service. The waiting room is clean and Jimmy( the owner) is always so personable. He has been honest with all car repairs and even offers less expensive options , if available. I don't wait for hours on end as he keeps me informed. I've been his customer for a few years. read more

Do NOT trust reviews on this place. The older owner of this shop is greedy and dishonest. I was given a specific price by the owners shop. It took me 30 mins to drive to the shop. However, the younger guy who gave me the quote wasnt there. His father did not agree to honer the price given and doubled it simply because I have an expensive car. Bait and switch. He basically told me that they are already busy enough and he doesnt care if he does the work or not. Very arrogant and dishonest. read more

If you are within a 45 minute drive and you need to bring your car here. I own a Toyota Camry and the STEALERSHIP (I know it's really dealership...totally said that on purpose) quoted me $600 dollars for an oil, transmission fluid and brake fluid change with tire rotation. I got it done for half that... better than half that, here. Jimmy is a doll. I must have called about a thousand times for the same thing and he was super patient. Quick and easy drop off and pick up. Excellent communication when vehicle was completed. I only regret not coming here sooner. I work nearby and drive by this place everyday! Give these guys a try... you won't regret it. read more

Jimmy is the best! Have been coming here for years and he is very reliable and trustworthy. He never tries to over sell you on anything, he is very nice and a great business owner. He has great prices and does a great service. He's quick and always tries to help you and the results are always great! read more

This place was top notch for me. Had issues with my Nissan and they were friendly, helpful and took care of the problem without trying to take advantage of my situation. It's nice to find a place you can trust for car repairs, thank you Jimmy and your crew for the great work and customer service. read more

This is my fourth time going to Japanese Auto Care in Boca Raton, FL. I am visiting my mother who lives here. Jimmy, the owner, came highly recommended by my brother when I visited 6 years ago and I needed some work done on my vehicle, back then. I see why this automotive repair shop has 70 reviews that are all 5 star rated. Well, add me as the 71st 5 star review to this list. When I took my car in today for some work to be done to it, Jimmy was more than accommodating to what I specifically needed done to my vehicle. I am specific when it comes to the upkeep and maintenance of my vehicle because that is my primary and only mode of transportation for me. Jimmy never tried to sell me a service that I did not need when I told him to check my vehicle over thoroughly before my upcoming road trip to California in two weeks. I was very satisfied with the quality of work and expertise at diagnosing the issue of my vehicle at Japanese Auto Care, the care and attention given to my vehicle, the more than fair and honest pricing for the work performed and the professionalism and great customer service that I received from Jimmy when I dealt with him. Thank you for everything, Jimmy and the great work you did on my vehicle today! Your integrity and work ethic speak for themselves! read more

i am here again! came for an oil change again and had to sit and wait. jimmy is very nice, they rotated my tires for me on their own accord. i would not go anywhere else. :) read more

I wouldnt trust anyone else. For the number of things my car needs done due to age this shop has not messed anything up. Theres been 1 issue that's been figure it out piece by piece but thats standard. This shop has had to fix other mechanics work...not that they said it was required, that the other really did mess up. read more

Fantastic shop, totally worthy of all the five-star reviews. I took my wife's car here after a horrible experience at another shop and these guys were terrific. They were very friendly and pulled the car into the garage right away. A few hours later I received a phone call telling me they found the issue. I authorized the repair and asked him to check the whole car out and let me know if he thought it needed anything else. This would be an open invitation to rip you off if it were most shops, but all they came back with was a freon recharge. Jimmy was straightforward and courteous. I'm so happy to have found an honest shop. These guys do customer service right! I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended!!! read more

Japanese Auto Care - They even sent us a thank you letter. Classy! - Auto Repair Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Wow is all I can say! Ah-mazing service. Brought my car in after the dealership quoted over 2K to repair an AC issue. Jimmy assessed and fixed for under a fraction of the original estimate. I will NEVER take my car anywhere else. Additionally, sent my brother to Japanese Auto and also had a great experience. They are an awesome crew and Jimmy is exceptional! read more

Second time taking one of my cars to Jimmy. I had a noise coming from my right front tire. I called Jimmy andhe said bring it in in the morning which I did the next day by lunch he had diagnosed a bad wheel bearing gave me a fair price and he had it done by 5pm. All with Honda parts. The noise is gone! Its like a new car. This shop has my vote. Its rare to find an honest and skilled shop. He's got my business. read more

I'm a retired auto tech then manager of honest competent garages 40 yrs experience This was the 3rd shop I visited & the shop that got my business They are honest, competent, accurate & fast. The other 2 shops recommended brake work not needed. Japanese Auto Repair is the real deal. I found them thru Yelp & will do all car maintenance & repair here. Thank you Jimmy & the guys! read more

I needed a good auto repair shop for my 2015 Hyundai and called Japanese Auto Care to see about an appointment. Jimmy (the service manager) was very professional and helpful. I didn't expect from an auto repair shop. The day of my appointment was no different. Jimmy greeted me and took some basic info and then asked for the car keys. They were short staffed that day, so Jimmy was working in both the repair bay and attending customers. In a short time he advised me that I needed new brake pads. He told me the rotors were fine. Usually, you should change both rotors and pads at the same time. But Jimmy said "while that is normally what is recommended, it's totally up to you". How refreshing to deal with someone in this industry that is not trying to take advantage of you to get you to spend more money! He actually did the repair work himself and it was done in less than 2 hours! Great job!!! read more

Super nice owners. Always impressed with honest answers even explaining what services I don't need. Glad to have found them!
