Samurai Motors was top-notch. I called and spoke with Yoshi, who got me in quickly to align my 2017 Tesla Model X with N2itive control arms and lowering links. I had installed the n2itive parts already when I brought it in. Even though they weren't busy, he still took great care and had the alignment done in under 30 minutes--about 45 minutes total including a test drive. The car now drives perfectly straight, with both camber and toe dialed in just right. Also I got paper work before and after alignment. It did not cost me a lot like the other shops that wanted close to $300. I paid $180 for the alignment!( thank you Yoshi ) The shop is very professional, and the service was fast and smooth. The mechanics were polite and easy to talk to. I also loved seeing all the JDM cars they had--R32s, R33s, and even an '86 and MR2. It felt like stepping back into the 1990s. I could honestly hang out there all day. Highly recommend this shop. read more

I hit some debris on the freeway and it absolutely messed up the catalytic converter. I took my car in and Yoshi was open about what the issue was. He said he could try welding it but if that didn't work, then he would have to order the part. The part was extremely expensive and the quote was over $2000. If he couldn't fix it, he recommended a muffler shop across the street. Before I could think about calling ahead, Yoshi informed me that he had managed to weld it back into place! And he only charged me $82. I was in and out within the hour. I had been coming to Samurai Motors for about 2 years, just getting oil changes, but this will now be my go-to for anything related to my Toyota. The other people in the lobby even boasted about Yoshi's honesty and integrity. There's not many honest mechanics out there. I can't recommend Yoshi and his team enough. read more

Samurai Motors - Dented catalytic converter - Auto Repair Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Always reliable. The owner, the receptionist, and the workers are exactly what a real auto shop should be. There are only a few truly good businesses left in town. Many of my former favorites eventually started chasing easy money, but this shop never did. In a good economy, almost anyone can make money--even with mediocre food or questionable service. But when times get tough, the businesses built on honesty and quality are the ones that survive. This shop will still be here long after the others are gone. read more

I'm not mad, just disappointed. My first experience with them was really good. Got a timing belt replacement and valve cover gaskets replaced. Communication was good throughout and they finished up quickly and even was able to do it for less than quoted. My second experience was not nearly as good. I requested to get all of the fluids changed and texted for a quote. I was sent back a number that seemed right and I took it in that weekend to get serviced. It took two hours which wasn't a big deal, but the final price was 200$ more than my quote. He blamed the price of the oil I requested but i know for a fact that oil was not 200$ more. The money was the first issue, but I also understand that things happen so I just paid and went on my way. It wasn't til I get home that I realized my oil was wayyy overfilled. I ended up having to remove over 2 quarts of oil to get it between the notches. This kind of over sight is really dangerous for engines. I have a suspicion It also exasperated my oil pan gasket leak. I reached out to get clarification on why it was overfilled and never received a response. I can't recommend this place. read more

I come here for oil changes and other maintenance work like air filter changes. I've had an issue a few months ago where the Honda Dealership incorrectly diagnosed my battery issue as an alternator issue, and I called Samurai Motors for a quote on alternator replacement. The owner said it was weird that my car, which had less than 75k miles, was already have alternator issues. He gave me a quote for an OEM alternator vs. a Manufacturer alternator, but said it might not even be an alternator issue so they needed me to take my car in for a diagnostic test. Turns out it was my battery and not the alternator, and they did not charge me anything as I decided to push back with the Honda Dealorship to change my battery under warranty. Nonetheless, I appreciated Samurai Motors still inspected my car and gave me a second opinion, as I was not willing to fork out $1k over a part that wasn't the issue. The lobby is very small but air-conditioned with few seating. Not the most comfortable waiting area but the wait times aren't long if you make an appointment with them. Unfortunately, they only do phone reservations but they've called me back when I wasn't able to get ahold of them. I've had to re-check my service invoice as the staff forgot to charge me for a service, so make sure you double check your receipts. read more

Samurai Motors - Lobby/Waiting Area - Auto Repair Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Came here to diagnose a check engine light on my car, they said it was fine to drop it off same day to get checked out, which I found really convenient. Rio (their front desk) would text any questions or clarifications they needed, and only a few hours later, they texted me what they found from diagnostics, what they recommended, and an attachment with an estimate. I discussed options and some parts pricing over text with Rio (super convenient, since I was at work), and we ended up deciding to try to fix it ourselves at home (since I'm wanting to learn to work on my car more). They didn't give me a hard time and I was able to pick it up same day. I loved their communication and their availability to drop off same day. Never got to met Yoshi but I hear he's THE MAN. I'll definitely be back when I've got car issues or maintenance that I can't handle on my own! read more

Straightforward auto shop that specializes in Lexus/Toyota. My oil change was reasonably priced and shop had good communication. Great customer service. read more

Samurai Motors seems to be relocated, however as a first time customer my service was very well. The front staff as well as the person who serviced my car were very direct and open about what they would check, and what they suggest. Great value here as they made sure not to 'sell' me any service that wasn't necessary, and future maintenance suggestions. read more

Always a great experience, very knowledgeable about all vehicles. Honest car shop and those are hard to find.

Absolutely recommend Samurai Motors! After a disappointing experience at another shop closer to home in North Las Vegas (starts with a letter Z) I've taken my 350Z to Yoshi and his team in past, and they exceeded my expectations. Their recommendations for repairs are always spot-on, and the pricing is very reasonable given the high-quality work they provide. They thoroughly diagnose the vehicle, ensuring nothing is overlooked. The new location is fantastic, and it's great to see the classic imports they're working on. If you need aftermarket parts or service, look no further than Samurai Motors. They are the best auto shop in Vegas, and I will only take my vehicles there from now on. Keep up the great work, and congrats on the new shop location! -Located near Decatur and Hacienda They are behind the PT's so you can go get your vehicle fixed and hang out at PTs while you wait! read more

I have a 83 celica that would not hold a charge for more then 2 days, i took my car to 2 different auto mechanics and both said its an electrical problem that they would have to diagnose, 1 place didn't even want to bother with my car as they said it was a headache. Called Samurai Motos, they let me drop it off a few days after the call. I dropped it off and a week went by and they called and said the car was ready and I just needed a new battery and a new Positive cable from the battery to the alternator and they re-did all the other wiring terminals that was connected to the battery. I was really satisfied with the price and the work!! read more

Gone here for over a decade hands down the best in town !!! Honest reliable staff is great ! read more

This is my go-to auto repair shop - hands down the best, most honest auto repair ever. They will not try to sell you anything you don't need, fair prices and great workmanship. I recommend this shop to all my friends. Thank you Yoshi and Team for being so pro! read more

Came here for oil change. The whole process was fast an easy, they worked with me on anything i needed and was super transparent and professional. highly recommended! read more

Been doing my oil changes here for a few years now. They have always been very fair with their prices. I have had some other minor work done on my car and they did a great job and was done very quickly. What I really respect about them is how transparent they are. My wife had a bad experience with Honda, they told her that her transmission was bad and not covered anymore under warranty. I told her to call Samurai motors, they had the opportunity to take advantage and upsell her, instead they ran a free diagnostic, and concluded it was her battery. She went back to Honda and they replaced her battery that was still under warranty. I respect the integrity they have at this shop! read more

Samurai Motors is hands down one of the best shops in Las Vegas. Yoshi, the owner, is an amazing guy--super honest, hardworking, and genuinely cares about people. It's rare to find someone this trustworthy in any business. Everything about this place feels solid. No games, no pressure, just top-tier service with integrity. If you're in the Las Vegas area, go to Samurai Motors. Yoshi will take care of you. read more

Recommended by a friend. Mom has been taking all our family owned Toyotas, Beemers and Lexus to dealership only service centers before being told about this place. They took great care of mom's Lexus. Will come back and have recommended them to family and friends. read more

10 10 10 10 10. They worked on my nissan kick and were super chill. A bunch of my friends have gone to this place for their cars and I figured I'd check it out cause I had a small issue with my car. They finished super fast and were super chill and professional. These guys are the LeBron of auto shops in Vegas. Genuinely solid people. Also shout out to the lady at their front desk she was very helpful. read more

Always succinct and accurate professionals. The owner and personnel know their business inside and out. Highly recommended.

I'm new to Las Vegas and was planning to take my car in to Toyota to get it serviced. I was having problems with my car not starting right away. After reading the reviews on Toyota someone mentioned Samurai Motors. After reading THEIR reviews and the high ratings I decided to take my car to get serviced there. I couldn't be happier! I also had them check the lower control arm of my car because Toyota said that was another issue that needed to get fixed. Samurai checked and said it was a minor issue that didn't need immediate attention. They also quoted me a reasonable price when I do need to get it done. Rio was very sweet and explained things very clearly of what was done to my car etc. I was expecting to be there for a few hours, but I was there maybe 15 minutes at the most! So happy I have a great place to take my car in for service! I also told my husband to take his Toyota truck when it needs servicing. Thank you Samurai Motors! read more

FANTASTIC! Very professional, competent, and HONEST. I highly recommend this company! Great work as well. read more

Yoshi and his team have worked on all three of my vehicles for years. Very good at both repair and maintenance. Cost of repair is consistently reasonable, and they never upsell. read more

I've been taking my Lexus to this shop for at least 10 years. I recently had to take my 2004 LX in because the people that changed the oil told me it was leaking oil. The owner told me it was just some oil leaking from the front axle and he needed to change the seal. It was pretty straightforward and I was very happy with the low price that he charged me for doing that and flushing my radiator. I think this is a very trustworthy shop that does fair work and I've never had a problem with any of the work that they've done on my cars! Thank you, Yoshi! read more

Always excellent service ! I have used their service for my employer for several years and now they are my mechanics too ! They have never charged too much and always check things throughly !! This morning I forgot that I needed a new air filter , which was probably why my AC wasn't working well ! I over heard them explaining this to another customer, which reminded me to get it changed ! Thank you very much ! read more

Honest and great price ... Fats and great service in Chinatown area. They seem to specialoze in Japanese cars, though I did see other European cars like changing oils and minor check ups read more

A very good friend recommended Samurai Motors to me after I was told by my Subaru dealer that I needed to replace my rear brake pads. I had been taking my vehicle to the dealer for oil changes and regular service for the first few years of owning the vehicle. After getting a quote of $400 for rear brake pads, I felt I could get a better price at one of the local mechanics. Enter Samurai Motors! The stellar reviews from my friend plus all the Yelpers convinced me to go and I'm so happy that I did. I called ahead for a quote and was told that it would cost $213 for the service--that made me ecstatic! It got better when I showed up with my car in the afternoon of the same day and, luckily, my Crosstrek had new rear brake pads in 20 minutes! I literally went next door to the Japanese market that's in the same plaza as Samurai to kill time and when I returned to the garage, my car was done! I'm not saying that this is something that happens regularly there; I just think my timing was lucky that afternoon. Regardless, I will be coming to Samurai Motors for all of my car services from now on; thank you! read more

Attention to anyone viewing this review: I thought Samurai Motors would be a great place to get a repair done because it's located a block away from where I reside. Unfortunately, I had an error message that appeared on the dashboard of my Jeep Wrangler, so I looked up the error code message and did some research to find out that it was the auxiliary battery that had gone bad, which is why the error message on my dashboard appeared. When I arrived at the shop, I made Mesa, one of the mechanics, aware of the error message and that it was due to my second battery (auxiliary battery). Mesa claimed that he checked and that my Jeep Wrangler only has one battery. Yoshi, who is the owner of the shop, used a diagnostic machine to assess why the error message was appearing, and he said there was no additional battery and that there was another sensor that needed to be replaced. Once the repair was made, I came back to the shop to pick up my vehicle, at which point Yoshi stated that there were potential additional repairs that might need to be made, including for my catalytic converter and a leak from my radiator hose. I was taken aback by this because I have never had any issues with either. Yoshi then also proceeded to tell me that the initial repair would actually take longer because the error message was still appearing. I was confused because I didn't think it would be that difficult to change an aux battery in a Jeep. I requested to have my car back regardless of the error message because I feared Yoshi was trying to take advantage of me as a customer. Then, Yoshi started to tell me how my vehicle was 7 years old, and if I didn't want to deal with repairs, I should purchase a new vehicle. I was taken aback by the disrespect and unprofessionalism. Yoshi tried to convince me to leave the car for a couple of days until they figured out exactly why the error message was still appearing. Fast forward, I paid for the repair a total of $180 when they never repaired what needed to be fixed. Yoshi stated that I could take my car to the dealership, but I would be taxed much more. I was confident that Yoshi didn't know what he was talking about as the store owner and head mechanic, considering his unprofessionalism and lack of knowledge regarding my vehicle. The following day, I contacted the dealership, providing them with the code that was appearing. The operator made me aware that I do, in fact, have two batteries, one of which needs to be replaced, which is why the error message was appearing. The initial reason I went to Samurai Motors was to get the second battery (aux battery) replaced, but the mechanics, including Yoshi, claimed there wasn't a second battery that they were aware of. I contacted Yoshi after getting my vehicle scheduled for service to get the repair fixed, to make Yoshi aware that there was a second battery and that it was, in fact, why the error message was showing. Yoshi attempted to argue with me regarding my concern about paying for a repair that wasn't the one that needed to be fixed. Yoshi then told me I wasn't welcome back to his business and told me that I would receive a refund but proceeded to hang up the phone on me due to his unprofessionalism and misinformation. I wanted to leave this review so that no one else out there deals with this disrespect, unprofessionalism, waste of time, waste of money, and lack of knowledge on servicing vehicles and diagnosing the actual issue. If they had initially known what they were talking about, the second battery would have been replaced, which is a repair that takes less than 1 hour. The fact that the dealership is charging me $180 for this repair, which is a dollar less than what Samurai Motors charges, contradicts Yoshi's claim that they would charge double, which isn't the case. If you need your vehicle fixed, do not go to Samurai Motors because they have no morals as a company, and Yoshi, as a business owner, is unprofessional. More importantly, they make up repairs to find ways to make more money, which is a horrible thing to do! Review the screenshot if you don't believe me, with the company number visible. read more

Samurai Motors - This photo screen shot provides proof of my conversation with the owner Yoshi of Samurai Motors. - Auto Repair Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Yoshi and Samurai Motors are excellent, extremely competent and totally honest. I found them a few years ago and came in with a list of repairs needed from the dealership. They told me I didn't those repairs and fixed the car perfectly at a fraction of the original estimate. Since then, I have no need to ask 'how much?' as they always charge far less than expected. I see here they have 250 yelp reviews and essentially all are 5 stars, unheard of for a car repair shop. Total honest and please visit them if you have an Asian made car. You'll thank me later. read more

I've gone to him for years and honest man does a great job and fast highly recommend. I sent two or three people to him with no complaints , each one is thanked me after they've gone to him read more

Yoshi and his crew always take good care of all of our cars! They're fast with service and also most importantly honest with their service! Thank you so much Samurai Motors for always making sure our cars are safe for our family! read more

Highly recommended. Honest, quality work done here. I get my maintenance done here for my old Toyota Corolla.

My bf gets his car done here for his automotive needs. He has an FRS for reference with lots of mods too. They are very nice & although it's located in the busiest street in Vegas, the price & convenience is worth it. The owner is super sweet & always busy. It's kind of hard getting someone through the phone but I would just go in or text to see if they're available when you need them to be. read more

I brought my car here to fix my door handle, I had the parts already. Took them 15 minutes, ridiculously fast. I love bringing my car here.

I broke the axle of my car in a hotel parking lot pothole, leaving my wife and I stranded in Las Vegas. We were on a cross-country trip. After my insurance company eventually agreed to fix the car, instead of totaling it, I had to find someone to fix it. Since we are not from Vegas, I had to trust online research. I contacted several shops that worked on Infinitis that had favorable reviews. Yoshi was immediately accommodating and genuinely wanted to help me. He negotiated with my insurance company and charged me less than the estimate. After agreeing to work with Yoshi, my insurance took a while to get my car towed to Samurai Motors. We texted each other almost daily, and once he had the car, he fixed it in record time. I invested my trust in Yoshi and Samurai Motors and was rewarded. Knowing there are many choices, take your car to someone you can trust. read more

Yoshi is the man! The shop is great, they're always accommodating and willing to help. I've gone here for multiple alignments and suspension checks to make sure my car was up to spec for both racing and daily driving. Prices are super fair and they're very transparent when it comes to the work that needs to be done. Would highly recommend this shop for anyone who always wants excellent service! read more

My husband usually does all the work on our cars however he didn't have the tools or the time to replace wheel bearings/hubs on one of our cars. I called the dealership who wanted 1200 for one assembly. I called the car shop down the street from samurai and i don't know why I didn't go with them but I know that when I called samurai, I was quoted less... and my cousin has been going to samurai for years. As other females said, Yoshi is very fair and doesn't seem to try to jack up the price just bc you're a female. He took the time to explain everything to me, told me the total cost and asked me if I wanted to go ahead and get it done. I went in on a Saturday morning thinking he was just going to diagnose/verify the problem but they actually began working on it within the first 15 min of me arriving. Both bearings were replaced in about 2 hours. read more

Very honest guys. My car would not start and by chance it was parked outside Samaria motors. As they were mechanic. I decided to leave my car in their hands instead of calling a toll company . The next day they called me up and told me it started again and maybe it was just a computer issue with my car. They did not charged me anything for their time and effort to take a look at my car and try to see what what the issue. read more

I always wanting to give a 5 star review to this Yoshi " The Saint " San. It's been almost 10 years when he helped me with my yellow 2009 Nissan Xterra . Busted the engine and need a new one.
