I would never recommend this place to any Subaru owner ever. Uehara Motowerkz was the only place I let work on my car due to their own promotion of being capable to work on Subarus. After a year or so going to them, out of nowhere, this business up and disappears - they aren't at this address listed on here anymore. They're just gone. I decided to take my car somewhere else after a year of not being able to locate this business, like the actual Subaru dealer. Subaru let me know whoever was tightening the bolts on my engine and anything involved in my car was using a drill rather than hand tightening them causing bolts to be stripped and morphed. Uehara MotoWerks also told me they would be using true genuine Subaru parts just for Subaru to tell me my o2 sensor is an aftermarket part. Like what the HELL. I regret taking my car here. read more

Mood - automotive I had an appointment as they are not normally open on the weekend. Upon entering was greeted with very friendly customer service. Mori was very familiar with my type of car. This put me at ease, as not all shops can work on every car. With the service I was given, he gave me a complete written explanation of everything that was done and what else is needed. He is very friendly and highly knowledgable. Interior of waiting area for shop was very clean and well put together. I would def recommend- pricing is to be expected for automotive industry Location is Highland/ Desert Inn - ample parking read more

Uehara Motowerks - Auto Repair Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We are a Subaru family, with Hubs having 2 and myself having 1. We are pretty particular about who works on our cars and Mori over at Uehara is one of the few approved list. He does great work, has great business ethic and has very reaonable prices. The waiting area in this location is open and comfortable with multiple places to sit, reading material and a wall mounted tv. If you need any work done on your car, give Mori a call! read more

Mori is a really great guy, really knows what he's doing. Went here for a clutch upgrade and then came back to install some more part. Very detailed in what he's doing and explaining why he did what he did. Highly recommended! read more

Mori and Kevin took care of my care. Now I feel safe to hit the road. Much needed maintenance for my car!

A week before my scheduled water pump and Timing belt appointment my car started acting crazy. My Subaru started to idle like a maniac. Power cut off at a stop, Speedometer and Gas gauge would bounce around at a stand still. Brought it to Mori, a week later my car runs better than it has ever before. He found and replace things I had no idea that were faulty. I plan on keeping my Subaru for a long time and having a trustworthy, knowledgeable and reliable Mechanic is definitely going to help me achieve that. Definitely coming back. Highly recommended. read more

Great place and highly recommended! Mori is very knowledgeable yet no-nonsense. I recently had some brake work done and had some minor issues afterwards. Mori went out of his way to make sure it was working 100%. read more

Why have I not left a review for Mori sooner?! I'm the sort of idiot who's spent more on modifying his car than he paid for it (brand new, no less), and Mori's the only man I've let work on my car for the past 7 years. Impeccable work and attention to detail, good pricing. If you doubt the reviews, just swing by sometime and look at the caliber of cars in his garage and parking lot. read more

I've been coming here for about 10 years. This is literally the only shop I trust and will go to, the owner and staff are very professional and they have the best customer service. They are very experienced and knowledgeable and I highly recommend them :) read more

I'm the son of a mechanic, and naturally have trust issues with my car. My dad always had my best interest in mind, and so does Mori and his team. Mori and his team is as skilled as they come and run a clean, honest business! The only person I trust with my car or my family and friends cars, besides my own father, is Mori and his team! So if your tired of taking your car to a shop, then waiting for a sales pitch on how your car isn't safe to drive and will hurt you and everyone else on the road. Take it in to Mori and get an Honest opinion, at a fair price. Thank you for everything! Customer service = 5 stars Waiting area = 5 stars (clean and comfy) Auto repairs & advice = 5 stars read more

I have 2 Subarus which are reliable, but when something does need fixing, it gets expensive. For example, I asked the dealer for a quote just to remove a filter to the turbo and i was quoted 450 bucks and an estimated 6 hours of work. I took it to Mori and he did that, plus install a new turbo, fuel pump, turbo inlet, and odd and ends for about that same price. The turbo inlet was a beast to install. All the Subaru forums have long stories about how long it takes for the Perrin inlet to be installed. Mori did it within the price quote he gave me. My only regret is not having known about Uehara Motowerks sooner. When i look back at all the expensive recent repairs, I can only wonder how much i would have saved. It is nice to see someone that actually enjoys what they do. Sometimes you go to chain stores and they don't seem to care. Mori puts in the extra hours to do the job right which is rare these days. Thanks guys, Now I'll guess i have to wait a bit longer once the word gets out. read more

I should've done a review on this place ages ago. Mori has gone out of his way to help me out of binds all the time, especially today during my lunch break when I ran into a random failure. They've done all basic engine modifications for me, and fluid changes. They've also help me put together some ball park figures for boosting my car. Can't wait to get enough money for my next visit, hopefully it'll be for something big! read more

Uehara Motorwerks is an awesome place to take your car for awesome mods. Upon Showing up I met Mori was going to be working on my car. He installed an Aftermarket BOV and Shifter bushing on my 2015 WRX. Awesome customer service and he made sure I was happy with his work before I left his property. I definitely will be coming back here. Thanks Mori! Pearl sounds awesome! : ) read more

Uehara Motorwerkz is a great automotive shop that knows Imports. Specializing in Asian autos but works on many Costom Cars, including American Muscle!! Subaru's all day my friends... All day!! read more

See all

Highly recommend! Mori is the best. He remembers my boyfriend and I each time we come in for our cars and he is so nice.

Mori is a genius! He's also a really great fabricator! Got him to fabricate a rally style custom cat-back exhaust for my NA Subaru Impreza and install a thicker rear sway bar. Had it everything for about 6 months and it has definitely made driving the Subie more enjoyable. Not a single problem! Hondas, Subarus, Toyotas, anything remotely JDM; Mori is the man to go see. EVEN- non-import cars/trucks Mori can fix, fabricate, tune, rebuild anything for a solid price and in stellar turn-around time! Support your local mechanics! Go to Mori's shop for any automotive work you need done, you won't regret it! read more

Never write reviews but this place is solid, Mori gives great service always steps out of the shop to speak to customers if any concerns upon vehicle needs. I had free 2 year servicing at my car dealership and passed it up so I could take it to a reliable shop like Uehara (Don't trust dealerships cause they honestly give no f*cks) if you're someone who cares about the longevity of your vehicle go here! read more

I still get all my auto work done here for both my car and truck. Nothing has broken down lately but I did get a used car since my last review and had its oil and trans fluid changed to ENEOS and inspected by Mori the owner. On this last visit I had some new suspension pieces, ignition and other parts that I had to take care of on a 19 year old MR2 MKII. If you own a Toyota MR2 he is the man for you, he knows this car inside and out and is a active member of the Vegas MR2 scene. read more

Air conditioning on the Acura went out, and I wanted to find a competent and honest mechanic to do the job. Came across Uehara based on Yelp reviews and wasn't disappointed. Besides the job done right and at a fair price, I really did appreciate the way Mori handles communication - providing informative updates about the progress and processes involved in completing the work. The level of expertise and customer service here seems uncommon for the Las Vegas area. I am content that I have finally found a reliable go-to mechanic for all of my vehicles. Thank you! read more

Mori replaced an engine for us in a Scion Fr-s (Subaru BRZ) this past week - His price was extremely reasonable; He was friendly, honest, and did an excellent job. We dropped the car off and replacement engine on Friday and the car was running by Sunday afternoon. Would highly highly recommend. read more

Mori does it again! I recently got an aftermarket stereo put in my 2012 Subaru Legacy. I love the stereo, but the installer apparently goofed and did something to cause intermittent codes to come up. I went back to them, but they blamed the stereo manufacturer. I basically decided to live with it. Well, i took my car to Uehara Motowerks for its regular oil change. Just in passing, i mentioned to Mori that everythings fine except i get these flashing lights ever since i got this stereo. Mori says something like "Oh, they must have tapped into a ground wire. I'll take a look". Mori removes all the offending wires tapping into the Canbus into the stereo (the stereo shows RPM and vehicle speed when wired correctly). It was 2+ hours of work! I was just charged the hourly factory rate. Awesome! A week later - no codes, no flashing lights! I was worried that when i sold the car, i'd take a big hit in price due to the flashing lights. Also, in the summer time, the car would actually want to stall, so this is a big deal Mori fixing this. Do yourself a favor and see them first, but definitely go to them when you need a master mechanic. i couldn't be happier. read more

A hidden gem for all the Japanese car enthusiasts. The owner, Mori, is very knowledgeable and does great work. He helped me keep my old '95 Subaru Outback in good running shape and installed Forester suspension on it to lift it. Since I've upgraded to a '13 WRX he has put in an Exedy clutch with lightened flywheel, and a Kartboy short shifter kit that I didn't have time to install myself. He's very friendly and his turn around time is usually pretty quick. There have been multiple times where he would keep working past closing time to get my car finished. If all of that isn't enough to convince you, just go and check out his shop yourself. It's always jam packed with all sorts of interesting cars which speaks volumes on the quality of work he does. Mori loves what he does and it shows in his work. read more

I brought in my car for a wheel alignment, coilover adjustment, and front/rear sway bar installation. I will not go anywhere else after finding this shop. Exceptional customer service, very accommodating, and price was extremely reasonable. I'm pretty sure they charged me less hours for how long they actually worked on the car and you definitely get what you pay for . Thank you Mori and Uehara staff! I will be back for the rest of the mods read more

Took my 06 Subaru STI here and received excellent service. Mori, the owner changed the power steering pump, thermostat, bottom radiator hose, and performed a compression test all for a reasonable price. The shop itself looks very clean and organize. From speaking to Mori I could tell he has a passion for cars. Great mechanic shop overall. He even gave me a todo list of services approaching for my Subbie. Looking forward to coming back. read more

I have gone to Mori twice for car repairs and each time I have left feeling more than satisfied. My first visit with him was to replace my starter. He fixed the starter along with my radio connection, which had been broken for years. He apparently fixed some disconnected wiring. The second visit was to replace some tires and to also replace 2 wheel bearings. Let me just say that I have had my car for 9 years and it drives better than it ever has. When I bought this car, the car would kind of shake when going over 65 mph. I had new tires put on, an alignment, etc...and none of that stopped it. He was able to pin point the problem, which was a bent piece that attaches to the wheel bearing-wish I could remember the name of it. He replaced this part and it completely fixed the issue.. Since then, I have driven my car up to 80 mph-shake free!! He is great at what he does, reasonable with parts and labor, and honest. As a woman, I have never really felt I could trust a mechanic. But for the first time, I DO. I would recommend him to anyone!! read more

Mori did a great job welding a bung on my down pipe for my wideband o2 sensor. He was very knowledgeable and had great customer service.

Mori went above and beyond our expectations. We got back up and running in no time, and everything is working great!

I was looking & calling shops all day to install my aftermarket suspension. The dealer and other shops were quoting up to $1000 for a simple install that would take and hour or so. Mori earned my trust & business for life! He was professional & knew what he was talking about, he even cracks jokes and does his job right! Mori took the time to install my Tein suspension right, adjusted the ride height, test drove it & then fine tuned it at the end again before I took it home. Not only that but he beat everybody's quote and saved me a lot of $. Plain and simple just go here no matter if you have a Honda, Subaru, Mazda, a simple oil change or a major issue just go here!! read more

Mori's a trustworthy guy when it comes to your car , I come here now for oil change and everything else my car needs . Never had a problem with his work , good guy who's definitely there to help . read more

Mori is a true car enthusiast you can tell by the quality of cars that he works on that he knows what he's doing. Always fair prices and a very helpful guy. Also a eneos supplier as a bonus. read more

Mori the owner here is a rock star and got my car running when no one else could. He does the impossible - at a good price and in quick time too. I've been doing business with him for over four years now. 100% recommend. read more

Mori helped save me $$ by fabricating a new clip for my back power window. If I bought a new part it would have cost a couple Benjamin's. He rewired the old piece. I also asked him questions about what would be the best suv to buy next. Usually car guys don't like to answer questions but he was very helpful. They even washed my car for me!! Will be back for more car service & advice. Thank you so much! read more

Mori and his team do some outstanding work. He's honest with his pricing and he shows you what is wrong with your vehicle. Even during routine jobs like oil changes, you can watch his team work on your car. I was referred to his team by a friend and have been thankful to find a mechanic shop that is honest and do what they say! read more

Mori hooked me up with some Eneos oil, OEM oil filer, and a oil change! I Explained to him I worked nights, and he offered to do my oil change :) (he had a car on the rack) thanx buddy! Will definitely go there again. Thanx Mori! read more

I used to take my Civic to Honda for everything that needed to be done. I am so glad that Mori is my go to guy since then, my family also brings their cars to have him fix them. He is honest and his work is perfect. His prices are much more realistic than the dealership. You will save more money by going to Mori at this shop. You will have it fixed in a timely manner too. Even for major work. Thumbs up to this shop and to Mori. read more

Mori rocks! This is the best place to take your car. They do custom work, but I'm just here for regular work. I get all my service done here. Toyota dealership, was fletcher jones, sucked and lied and over charged. Mori saved me $1200 the first time and I've been coming here ever since. Thank you Mori and staff. read more

So I never write reviews. Uehara Motowerks and how special the owner Mori is forces me to . If I didn't write one it would be plain wrong. I don't want that on my conscience. Now, for those of you know about keeping good things a secret, I hate to let this out, people already know how great this place is and I'm beginning to regret shooting myself in the foot by doing this. I may have to wait longer now to get my car in because he's going to add a lot more clients. There are a lot of little things about my experience what were impressive,and i could write a lot more, but I'm trying to be short. I'm the pickiest brutally- honest, ready to throwdown type of customer. I'm such a douche because I'm not perfect but I expect perfection from people work on my stuff ( total jackass). Below are three things that really made me feel like I was lucky to find an honest and talented professional like Mori. 1. I won't go into makes and models. But I wasn't sure I could find a shop who I knew my car in and out. After a few days of looking, I decided to go with the best I could find. By chance, Mori's name was mentioned online by someone and that he worked on cars, and I thought he'll probably be a bit more knowledgeable or at least I could talk to him. When I first met him, he said whats going on , and I told him my problem. Then I said, "I guess i could do this or that..." I know enough about cars to know the problem and the fix. Am I good enough to do it?, no way, and do I skills or tools and parts?, nope. So when I told 3 things i think would work, I expected him to go with one solution and agree with me, give me a breakdown of the parts, and explain what he had to do and costs, and time if would take. Instead, He say " Nah.... I'd just probably do this and see what happens, and you should be okay." So I didn't want to talk shop with him or doubt him, because he was clearly way more knowledgeable than anyone I met, but I addressed concerns and he answered them in ways I didn't expect. Like how the age and condition of the part could affect different things. I mean most people tell you this is how you fix this, and they will fix it, and it will more times than not get fixed, but " Nah...." Thats someone who knows a lot and is really telling you the honest truth from his years of experience trying to save you some bucks while doing the best possible job out there. 2. Sorry, getting long, hate long reviews. Second thing was I asked some guys at the auto parts store about a small part I needed, they looked and said they couldn't find any store or the computer system and that they don't make that part anymore. I asked for something similar to modify and they said it wasn't gonna work, and that my best bet would not be to look online even , but junkyards. Thats what I expected, so I wasn't devastated , I couldn't just give up. I really didn't wanna start going to junk yards. I went back in and searched every isle of the store and found something similar. I thought hard and I did my best to modify it and thought i fixed it...at least to where it didn't drive me nuts. I mentioned this to Mori , he fixed it perfectly with the perfect part at a fraction of the cost. He told me the part was easy to find ( I'm not sure if he did something special, I'm still suspicious, but the invoice shows almost nothing for the part) 3. I can change my own oil or use a drive through station close by, But just for even something relatively simple like an oil change I will drive 30 minutes there and 30 minutes back to get it done at his shop. There Isn't a doubt in my mind, for even any minor to major work, I would probably drive a day and back if not more. Just had a little accident today, broke the plastic on the taillight. Called the shop, Mori remembered exactly who I was and told me that he can fix it. I panicked and the minute it happened, I started looking online for parts, I would have wasted a lot of time and money. He saved me again. So the secret is out, I hope I can get an appointment when I need to . But all jokes aside, In all fairness to him and his establishment, no matter how busy it gets Mori is the kind of guy who takes care of all his customers with the same gold standard and beyond. He had my car ready sooner than promised. I was not going to make it in time from work , he offered to wait for me which I appreciated, but it was two to three hours later, but said he is staying late to work on some cars anyway. I went the next day before closing and talked to him briefly cause he was not done for the day. The shop was still going. I love what I do , but I'm not stay extra hours unless its an emergency. And then I realized I found a place I can trust that would work on every car like it was their own. read more

Uehara MotoWerks, without a doubt the best shop I have ever been to. Highest quality in work, and very reasonable pricing. Definitely coming back for mods. ( which this shop also comes highly recommended for). Thanks Mori you also provided an awesome customer experience. read more

Right in line with the rest of the reviews. This guy is super friendly and helpful. Got my aftermarket exhaust fixed(was loose and running). If it stays the way it should, I'll be beck with more parts to have him put on. read more
