The workmanship was excellent but took a bit longer than the estimated time because they were not happy with how the paint matched.

Except for one instance, repairs are done as they should be and on time. There was one time involving replacing a shifter, where the part was defective. Far East replaced it at no costs. The owner of the shop is hands on, and will work, however long and hard it takes to complete the repair,

Winter service was fine. Have not performed any of the recommended major repairs (e.g., to front upper control arms, steering rack, front motor mount, right front steering knuckle) and have continued to drive the car around town without incident for another 2200 miles. Will sell the car as-is with a heads up as to the suggested repair recommendations.

I always enjoy taking my car to Far East Motors. John, Paul, and Watchman always take care of my car and have a good joke to share. I've been taking my car there for 7 years and only once ever had to follow up on a repair they did. They fixed it for free. The car runs great and has had no unexpected mechanical failures or breakdowns, due to the care and pride Far East Motors takes in its work.
Description of Work: Basic service, plus I had them check my brakes, and then replace the brake fluid. I get a regular quarterly service there.

They service my late husband's truck and everything was reasonable and they were actually having to evaluated it to see, I needed to know whether or not it was worth keeping. They were very fare and they didn't charge me a lot much money for it. There was a big problem with the car and they let me know that and put it in writing and as a result I just sold it. They were very helpful they didn't try to charge me for something I didn't needed have done.

They always do a good job on the regular stuff, and major kudos to them on the clutch repair. There was a brief, fleeting moment when we thought Mazda would actually cover the clutch repair so long as it was performed at their dealership, so we had it towed from Far East Motors all the way across town. Far East Motors had already ordered the parts, but they didn't give us any hassle about it--they just wished us the best and told us they could use them on another car. Wow! Long story short, no dice on getting it fixed by the dealer. So we brought the car back to Far East Motors because we knew we could trust them, and they had it back on the road in short order. Good thing, too--our daughter was born only a few days later.
Description of Work: We've used them for a variety of repairs, and they have always done right by us. A big-ticket repair was a failed clutch on our 2012 Mazda (this is an issue that has cropped up for others as well, but Mazda stubbornly refuses to issue a recall.) We've also used them for tune-ups and regular maintenance.

I have been using Far East Motors for three years and all I can say is Yes, Yes, Yes you want to use them! They back their work up, they are more than fair priced and ALWAYS are more than fair to the customer. They always go the extra mile to explain needed repairs. I called around and believe me they have the best prices around. I continue to be impressed by Watchman and Paul and their excellent service to their customers.

Response from Far East Motors Service Ctr
This review is simply not true, we regularly check our pricing against a third party system called Repair pal.com , which surveys shops all around, even dealerships , very often for accurate pricing. In this situation , we saved your mother hundreds of dollars. Your mothers car is a Lexus, we dont use cheap parts on high end cars. Plus we offer a 2 year warranty on new parts and labor. I think once you obtain the correct information on what was really done- you will agree that the job #1 was a quality job, and #2 was a great value. Thank you.
