"So I came here last minute - I thought my alternator was failing and I needed to get it check before the holidays. Luckily, they managed to take a look. I really wasn't looking to spend alot besides the alternator being fixed, but Brian was SO helpful in helping me with the diagnostic as well as trying to figure out what was wrong.

Ultimately, I did not get any work done as I had no problems, thanks to the tech (I think Miguel) who worked on it. Brian was so helpful and understanding my concerns, and even helped with the diagnostic charges and a Lyft ride from my work to the shop.

Overall, I would totally go back to them again. They gave great customer service, listened to my concerns and didn't try to pull a fast one. :) Thanks again!"

"My entire experience was nothing short of amazing. Not that I would wish car issues for anyone, but if you are experiencing anything, this is the place to go. From the moment my car started making a weird noise, they made time to inspect it, called a car to take me back and by the end of the day Brian did a full breakdown with me about everything that was going on. He highlighted the more critical issues and explained why they were important to address. The whole process was quick, the staff was knowledgeable and approachable. What I appreciated the most was the care they put into providing great service for my car and the respect they have for their clients, unfortunately that doesnt always happen at other repair shops. The staff here ended up making a tough situation so much easier and its going to be my go to spot from now on. "

"Brian and his team provided excellent information and evaluation for the concern I had about my car leaking oil ( which it had prior to my recent oil change. Their technician checked and also test drove my car but didnt find any oil leak. Brian provided excellent customer service and helpful in explaining what was done and as a senior, I felt that theyre trustworthy. They were recommended to me by my neighbor and Im glad I gave them a try. Thanks!"

"I own 4 Japanese cars, 3 of which are at least 8 years old. I take all of these exclusively to A+ Japanese auto for remedial maintenance and repair. Why?
1) They are experienced in older Honda & Subaru vehicles: what wears out. 2) I appreciate their advice on what issues to address or not address. 3) They explain the trade-offs of repair strategies. 4) They provide photo evidence of diagnostics. 5) Their labor charge is reasonable and inline with the industry.
The bottom line is I trust their advice and guidance. I deal exclusively with Elaine as my customer representative."

"I had an excellent experience at this auto repair shop! I needed help changing my engine air filter and spoke with Brian to schedule a quick walk-in. He got me in right away — no waiting at all. Once I arrived, Brian personally helped me out, and Anthony (Production Manager) and Jacob (Technician) took care of everything quickly and professionally.

Since the work was minimal, they didn’t even charge me for labor, which I really appreciated. It’s rare to find a team this honest, friendly, and efficient. I really appreciated the great service and will definitely be coming back in the future. Highly recommend!"

"I’ve been taking my Lexus here for over 8 years. They’re transparent, explain work in detail, and always honor their warranty on repairs and tires. My last visit was for oil, tires, and alignment. Knowledgeable shop, don’t be afraid to ask questions on any recommendations they give."
