    I want to give a shout to the guys at Motor works, I've taken multiple cylinder heads and engine blocks to be rebuilt/ resurface and every time they have done a superb job. Wait time is 7-14 days when I've taken stuff there but if you have multiple cars your working then that's not a problem. Thank you!

    The truck ( Big Red ) that chases mechanics away? LOL great little shop but I will be back again to test there skills

    See all

    I had major work done on my Buick and both Luis and Chris were more than fair in the pricing.

I brought carbon for service along my road trip and they did such a poor job!! Primarily Japanese auto service not only found what was wrong but fixed it quickly and car is running way better They recommended another reputable shop to address the front end body work as this type of work is another specialty. Joe explained to me using easy to understand language that was not too technical so I totally could understand what was goi g on I am having my wife bring her Subaru in for service and now think I found a good, honest decent shop for car issues

    EDITED AFTER CORRECTIONS WERE MADE There was a subtle red…read moreflag within a minute during my first phone call. The person was pointedly irritated at my question regarding morning drop-off time. Dealing with the thick traffic to access the single lane drive into the parking area makes the scheduled times at the absolute worst traffic times - another big red flag. Our car had a power antenna that worked fine, before. In their zeal to take the car on a 10 mile test ride they broke the antenna taking the car through a car wash with the antenna still up. Not the sharpest tools in the shed there. NOW FIXED We dropped the car off with only 2 gallons in the tank. The out of gas warning light was not on. When we picked it up at 4:45ish the warning light came on when we started it, indicating it was down to about 1 gallon or less. A test drive is expected. Even a 10 mile drive is acceptable, especially if a system reset is needed. But when a customer drops off a car that gets so low its warning light comes on during "testing" then a reasonable, thinking ahead kinda shop would have or get a gallon of quality brand name Premium gas to add to the car and adding it to the final bill. Chris' excuse after phoning him was - we don't put any gas in anyone's car, it may not be their preferred brand or grade - as if they've gotten complaints of Shell or Chevron premium tainting some sniveler's quarter-tank of QT regular. As if... Chtis' lying became absurd as his story changed along the way. He nor the shop never mentioned the broken antenna when they called us at 4;15 to let us know it was ready for pickup. It wasn't until we had driven thru the thick and dangerous rush hour traffic outside their shop that Chris then tells us we could leave it for another day while they procure and install a "new"? or used antenna. Apparently Primarily Japanese isn't very familiar with the old adage: Honesty is the best policy. During our initial phone call I listed a few items I wanted inspected. Not one word was spoken nor written on the scant information printed on their scant receipt regarding any inspection(s); just a total fail in that regard. So asking for certain tasks doesn't matter with Primarily Japanese. They focused on the main maintenance task with zero regard for our request to check a few other things. Because of their dishonesty we now wonder if the initial main needed work was ever even performed. We are now forced to either take a few parts off to inspect the alleged new parts ourselves or hire a different shop to do post "repair" inspection. As a local business owner (with 100% five star reviews) I wouldn't dream or nightmare treating my clients the way we were treated by Primarily Japanese. Save yourself the time and frustration and go to any other shop, necause almost sny other shop wouldn't attempt to lie as much as Primarily Japanese lies. This review is being written early on "the day after" If Primarily Japanese and Chris are being forthright in their verbal promise to rectify the broken antenna today, this review will be edited to reflect their correction. Still though, no real apology from Chris, only laughter; likely and hopefully a nervous laughter at being caught lying. EDIT Joe the owner called us, discussed the issues and arranged for the repair today, the day after. He explained a few things more clearly than previous communications with the employees we had dealt with yesterday. Excellent speed in rectifying the broken antenna. Still, we were almost convinced every issue was our fault. There were lapses in communication between employees that are human mistakes. We aren't thrilled but satisfied the maintenance and repairs were done adequately. Overall, Joe made things right. His shop is capable and qualified and he strives to do honest and fair work.
