They are excellent. They seem fairly honest and a couple of times they did not charge me for minor additional work. They have always done a good job and I would highly recommend them.

They took the car in to check out the squeaking noise, called back timely to let me know what repair it needs.
They gave me a quote for the job and performed the work timely.
The work is covered by a 6 month labor and 1 year part warranty.
I am happy with their work.
This is the second time they worked on my car. I was also happy with the work before so I went back this time.

This was second time we used them. While this was a relatively minor service it was done fast, well and very economically. The first service consisted of several major items amounting to over $2,000. Again they did a great job and did it for much less than the dealer or other major service outlets. The car is a 1993 Honda Accord.

My experience with them has been excellent. Like for an oil change, you can get it done very quickly. You drop your car off there first thing in the morning like at 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock and they will have it done in 10 minutes. I had the timing belt replaced on my car, and it has been working fine. They do not do body work.

I found these guys through Angie's list and agree with all the positive comments. It was very easy to schedule the service appointment, they were punctual, friendly, and didn't try to sell me anything extra. I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Very well. They got the job done on time, even in spite of the business next door burning down the night before. They did the work for $850 less than the dealer's estimate. They did not try to sell me anything I didn't need, they drove me to work, and they were courteous and cheerful. They explained all the details of the job very well. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

They did, in my opinion, a better job than I've had at the Toyota dealerships for much more minor issues, and for far less (considering the tuneup also included a new timing belt). The car runs better than it has in years and I am definitely impressed with the service here. Would definitely recommend.

Great experience. Honest and affordable work.
I gave them a cheap sale by mentioning the belts under the hood but they didn't replace anything that wasn't broken.
They even showed me the cracked exhaust manifold when I paid for the service.

Mike down there is always great, he is always there to help you and I really trust him. He is a friendly guy and he knows what he is doing. I won't go anywhere else! I've been going to him for many years!

It was a very straight forward process. I used the evening drop off and after the work was done they held the car for me a few days since we had gone out of town.

Amazing, I love these guys! We are a 3 Honda family and Japanese Beetle has taken excellent and reasonably priced care of all of our cars. They are straight shooters in their estimates and I feel they are extremely trustworthy.

Mike and his team completely flushed the transmission fluid which is more involved than just changing the the fluid, and my car runs like a champ! The dealer wanted close to $500 for the same work. Thank you Angie's List patrons for recommending Japanese Beetle, my new and forever mechanic.

This was my first time going here after many years of my in laws telling me I should use them. Always serviced my Honda at Hopkins Honda. I called on a Monday for an appointment on Thursday as that worked better for my schedule. But then my window ended up stuck down and I called back to see if they could take me the next day. They could. Brought the car in the next day and dropped it off around 8AM. They took a look at the window and called me around noon. Told me the problem and I authorized the work. They called again around 4PM saying the car was done. They fixed the window and did the oil change. They diagnosed the SRS light but did not fix it because the issue was with the seat belt and they told me to go to the dealer as this is a warranty item. There was no charge on the SRS light diagnosis because i had a coupon from their website. A bit disappointed that I need to now go to the dealer. Gave them a B on price as the labor to fix the window was 200 dollars, and I just don't know if that is reasonable or not. Price for oil change was reasonable. I would use them again.

I talked to them on the telephone the other day. I called to ask them a question and they were very helpful and very friendly. My husband usually does the oil and filter changes when we go to Japanese Beetle. The cost for the 60000 mile check was $371.00, the price for brake pads $142.00, and the labor and parts that included oil filter and spark plugs and everything else. The whole thing came to $690.00. I have been going to them for years. I had a Honda before and then I got a Toyota. They weren't doing Toyota at the time but then when they started doing Toyota, I went back to them. I just think they are really helpful. You can call and ask them questions and they explain things to you. I have always had very good service with them. I just think they are great. I haven't been there for a year and a half now but there hasn't been any major work. I guess I will go there for my 90000 mile which is coming up. It seemed like a lot of money but I think we checked around and I guess that's pretty normal. I know it seemed like a lot at the time but I heard that the 60000 was a big thing and the 90000 will be bigger. I will hire them again in the future.

I took the car in for some routine maintenance and to have an intermittent starting problem checked. They were unable to find a problem initially. I took the car in a second time, and the car stalled on them! Their diagnosis was that the fuel pump relay was defective; they were able to perform the work within 1 business day. I have used these guys for various Honda and Acura vehicles for over 20 years and will continue to do so.

I have been taking my vehicles to them since the 1990's. They are fabulous. I always feel like I am treated honorably and fairly. They are totally trustworthy, and complete the job when they say they will. They do not do bodywork is the only thing.

I had to have my vehicle towed here; I have always had a good experience with this company. They are knowledgeable and honest with me. They might not be the most inexpensive, but they are trustworthy.

Work was done as promised with no hidden charges. Japanese Beetle is a family owned business and have been working on my Honda cars for many years prior to this most recent service.

They were courteous, punctual, and reasonable. Did not install parts that weren't necessary. And accommodated my schedule when I needed my wife's car serviced.
