I called and got an estimate over the phone and the price seemed good. (considering they hadn't inspected the vehicle yet) I scheduled the appointment and the job was done that afternoon. This was the same work I had done at a dealership a few years back. At Japanese Auto it was $400 less! I would highly recommend.

They've been around for 30 or 40 years. They use young women they get from the local vocational high school. They use young women as their employees. There are older guys who are just insanely honest. They typically talk me out of work that they think I don't need. They're the cheapest auto repair people on the block. I've used them for 20 years. I'd use them for another 20 more if they're going to last as long. The price is ridiculously cheap. I do use them all the time. When I have oil changes, tune-ups and when I have any specific repair. I've used them for both general maintenance work and focused repair. They've always been extraordinary. They're the best in the business as far as I'm concerned.

Description of Work: I had my starter replaced. Japanese auto is probably one of the most honest and reliable service providers around. They're the type of company you hate to leave when you move. They know what they are doing and they are honest about everything. They had my starter fixed in a day and when I ask them to check something, they always tell you the truth unlike some auto mechanics that leave you asking if you got cheated or not. Three thumbs up for these guys!

They are fantastic. We have used them for years. They take foreign cars but also Saturn's. For them to look at our car like if we were to have like a weird sound or something that we wanted them to check out, they check it out and they don't charge labor for checking it out. They are very respectful of women. I feel like they are just straight. I get a good deal. We have always had such a good experience with them. We go to them instead of our dealership. Their pricing is very reasonable. They tell us like when they can the thing done by and it is always done by then.
Description of Work: They did certain mileage service and they also changed the batteries on one of our cars.

The service and staff at Japanese Auto are THE BEST! They've done the work on my last four Camrys which we drive until 175-200K miles. They explain the work clearly, and at first, when I'd get other quotes, they were always in line with the dealer and other shops. Work was done promptly, problems resolved and explained clearly. I've used them for 20 years and have the highest praise for their service. I recently traded a Camry for a Mini and the hardest part was that they don't work on other models.
Description of Work: Repaired exhaust system including broken part stuck in manifold, muffler assembly, converter, exhaust pipe on 125K mile Camry.

Description of Work: I scheduled a replacement/maintenance of brake pads and rotors (based on mileage recommendations) and was prepared to spend $$$. However, they told me that I still had adequate pads for another year (based on my usage) and that they would do the rotors then, too. I was very happy with their honesty and professionalism - and the clear explanations they gave me. I had also mentioned a major nuisance problem; the gas cover would no longer pop open from the button on the inside of the car. They replaced the spring and charged only for the part and not the labor. I send them a thank you every time I have to put gas in my car in this cold weather. THANK YOU! I will definitely be back in another 10,000 miles for my brakes and rotors!

We took our car to Japanese Auto Professional Service after getting an extensive list of service that needed to be performed when we replaced the tires at another business. We took the car in, and they inspected everything; only a portion of the list was actually necessary. The price was fair, and we felt confident that they had done careful work. Everything was completed in a timely way.

We have been using Japanese Auto for about 10 years now. They're outstanding. Highly ethical, and they really know Japanese cars. They offer various options and work with you. One time they didn't even charge me anything because they couldn't figure out what was wrong (I had to take the car to the dealership). They're very good about not fixing things that aren't broken, which is a big deal when you drive old cars like we do. They've kept our cars running smoothly. One of our cars has more than 200K miles on it and we're taking it on a trip this weekend. I've tried taking our cars elsewhere because we don't live in Ann Arbor, and because Japanese Auto is often too busy to take care of emergency repairs, but we always end up coming back to them to fix what others have messed up. Their prices are excellent, too.
Description of Work: General auto service. This last appointment included replacing brakes.

I called on wednesday and I set up an appointment for friday. They asked what could be wrong with it. I already knew it was my rotors and brakes and a bad battery. I took it in a 7:30 am and they called me back at 9:30 am. They gave me an estimate and told me what's wrong with my brakes and a dead battery. By 2:30 pm the repairs were done and I picked it up with no problems. I was surprised with the lower than expected cost of the brake/rotor job. The service was great. I'd take my car back in a heartbeat to these guys.
Description of Work: They performed a front end rotor/brake and a new battery job for my '07 Civic.
