Top notch auto repair service. The people were very well versed in their service work. They answered just about every question that I threw at them. and were friendly. Car repair turned out great. I felt very comfortable with the service and I have my brakes done. Very happy with the outcome.

"Hello [Member Name Removed], Thank you so much for taking your time to leave up a review. I followed up about the price difference from the Honda part. I want to apologize, we order our parts from local dealerships and between that transaction and getting the information to the invoice the numbers were mistaken. Unfortunately, we didn't catch that error before submitting the payment to you. Again, we are very sorry for the mistake and I am glad we were able to refund the money. We look forward to helping you again in the future. Sincerely, Eric Sevim - Owner -[Hyperlink Removed] (650) 946-1856"

"Hi [Member Name Removed], Thank you for the rating! And a second thank you for alerting us about the keys. We do a quality control cleaning of the client's cars before we leave. I am betting our cleaner set someone else's keys down then forgot them. This doesn't happen (thankgoodness) often but we are very sorry that it did happen. We look forward to helping you again in the future - and only give back one key this time :-) Sincerely, Eric Sevim - Owner - [Hyperlink Removed](650) 946-1856"

Very friendly and courteous. Made it a very pleasant and seamless experience. Gave us a ride to and from the service shop, kept us updated on the progress, explained what was needed and why, did not pressure us to make decisions. Highly recommend them!

They are great. They have great customer service. I would recommend them to anybody. The first time I was there I know I spent over $1,000, but then, I had to go back and it was not nearly as much. They were great because they were not able to finish everything the first time. I got my car back and they had to order parts. They would not even let me pay until all the services were completely done to satisfaction. They just seem very trustworthy like the car was there for the big service, and they took pictures of everything and e-mailed what was to be done and that is why there were pictures. They just came across as very trustworthy. They are very easy to work with. If they make a mistake, they paid the cost.

I called A+ Japanese Auto Repair for a replacement of rear break light bulb as it was burned out. I emailed the owner and asked for a quote. He said it was a very easy job and he can replace it for free. I was little suspicious but when I arrive at the place. The owner wasn't there but he did refer to his staff. They promptly looked at my car as it was Sat morning. I only waited 15mins and they returned the car to me with the light blub replaced. I highly recommend them.

For two days, A Plus tried to get my Nissan to repeat it's problem. They checked all possible systems that might be the cause. They road tested it, they scanned the computer and found no trouble codes. They checked the ignition and fuel system and found no faults. Since my mother's 2004 Altima had stalled and died numerous times, and it turned out that her car's computer board needed reprogramming under a recall, they called Nissan about recalls for computer boards of the 2005 Altimas (they found that mine had been reprogrammed when I had another recall fixed). Neither the shop nor I could get the car to repeat the rough idling and stalling issue. One of the service managers, Rob, even drove the car home and back to see himself if he could get the car to repeat the problem. After all this checking, A Plus refused to accept any payment what so ever for all their work, because their policy is that if they couldn't fix the problem, or can't find it, they don't charge. I was able to drive the Altima home, assured that the issue had probably been a random hiccup (it had sat for three weeks with no driving while I was away on a trip) and was not a remaining or lingering problem that was going to strand me on the side of the highway. I trust A Plus' work that much. And the Altima has not repeated it's problem in three month's of driving since then.
I wish I had as trusted an auto repair shop where I now live. When I first started using A Plus, on the recommendation of my sister who has taken all her cars to them, it was owned and operated by Ray and Diane, whose sons now operate it. A Plus has been consistently excellent, and they take great pride in their work. I highly recommend them.

They did a really good job. They were very thorough and did not try to sell me anything that I did not need. They were looking for a leak, because it was obvious that I had a leak and then when they refilled it the leak went away. He said that it was not leaking, so there is no reason to do anything else. I would use them.

They were fine, they're just pretty high priced. I think the quality of the work was good and the price is expensive. I was a little suspicious and it's a lot of money but on the other hand, I think it's a good deal and they can find the problem so these guys end up and did fix the problem and maybe that was the problem but if the compressor's really bad, I figured the dealership should have found out that too so I don't know what issues. On the other hand, the air conditioning works now so they fixed it, it just cost a lot of money. They had trouble getting a hold of me. I probably would actually because they maybe the best of the bad group.

A+ Japanese Auto Repair Inc. I used them a couple months ago I believe. Our experience has been consistently excellent with them that's why we keep going back. We spent about $200. The quality of the service keeps up coming back. The professionalism. And the flexibility on time of getting appointments. They come with our highest recommendation.

Dropped the car off at 8:00, had it back shortly after noon. Rob explained that some items were marginal (e.g. slight discoloration in brake fluid), but they could wait until the next scheduled service. They are about 20 miles form my home, but we've been using them to service our 3 Toyotas for a couple years now. When he heard I was nearby, and debating whether to wait for the car or go home and get a ride back later in the day to pick up my car, he had the technician re-arrange work to get my car to me sooner.
On other occasions, they carefully explain what work they're recommending and why, and whether it can be delayed until the next service, or even longer. We trust them completely. They may cost slightly more than other places for the work they do perform, but don't sell you work you don't need.

I have used them before. I don't like the Honda dealer so it is nice A Plus take care of it for me. A Plus does tend to charge a little more but I faith in them that they only do what they need to do. I trust them. Their price is a little high per service but they d not do unnecessary work.
