David is the man. He will have your “hot rod” purring in no time. I got a total front caliper/rotor replacement, transmission flush, brake flush, coolant flush and a power steering flush; the estimate was right on the money and done on time to boot. David is HONEST, hard working, and extremely professional. He has earned my business for as long as I stay in the area, I will be most certainly be back. Thanks JAS!!

Pricey but worth it if you want it done right. Very knowledgeable and warrantied work. Think dealer-quality repairs at a discount.

I personally had a terrible experience 9/1/21. I recently purchased a Lexus and then located this Japanese auto specialist. Reached out and they suggested communicating thru text. It’s 2021 cool. Started well got back with me then nothing . A month later I text again response right away the owner apologized he had an emergency. I completely get it. So we schedule an appointment with time and date for me to come in. Today I arrive at 8 am as requested thru to text only to be turned away and informed no appointment had been scheduled in the system and the parts hadn’t been ordered and wouldn’t be able to be ordered in time due to warehouse shortages. I informed the technician that I had driven an hour to the shop. With no remorse he handed me my key, didn’t try to reschedule the appointment or offer the free diagnostic. I will not be returning

I decided to go with Japanese Auto Specialist after the repairs quoted by the dealership were exorbitant. David and his team performed a comprehensive diagnostic of my car and gave me a list of items to address in order of the most important to the least. I was impressed by the attention to detail and level of knowledge and care. While the repair estimate David provided me was more than reasonable (and far better than the dealership’s quote), I decided to sell the car instead of putting more money into it since it was older and high mileage. We own another Toyota and I will feel confident bringing it to his shop for any maintenance or repair needs. This level of integrity, expertise, and service is hard to find.

You have to constantly call to find out about your vehicle. They never get back with you, David the owner I presume no people skills, his son is incapable of giving information regarding anything. Rude, demeaning David was. I had to apologize sarcastically for not being a mechanic. 8 days car sat there just to change fuel pump. Tuesday to Thursday for engine codes, which my car sat there while I went back to get a copy of the codes. Which I already had per David, the receipt.. the son failed to tell me anything attached to the receipt, his son took my payment after 8 days of my vehicle sitting there. I was supposed to guess the paperwork was diagnostics results without informing me 🤦‍♀️. Couldnt send emails properly, blamed technology.

Excellent Job for an Auto that was IgnoredMy daughter thought she was taking car of her, when taken to David, she wasn’t prepared for the rude awakening. David told her how to take care the car and also how to interact with a repairmen when leaving your car. I have been taking my cars to David for over 17 years and I never been disappointed. He takes the time to deliver a car to you as though he owns the car. You don’t find an independent business like Japanese Specialist.

Very meticulous with the inspection of my car. I have a 2013 Kia and it now drives like the first time I drove it off the lot brand new. The suspension and steering has not been right for a long time and I had it to other places to be fixed, but no one else could ever seem to get it right. These guys did.

Honestly its a great place to get your JDM car worked on. I had an issue with my 350Z and they took care of it. Rather quickly I might add, and it wasnt too expensive. I definitely recommend this place if you own a Japanese car and need any work done. Only issue i had was how far I had to go to get there from where Im located. Other than that fantastic service and fantastic crew.

I was referred to Japanese Auto Specialists by a couple of friends of mine. It was amazing that both of them said the same thing about this service, not knowing the other had been costumers. They used the description of honest mechanic and they werent wrong. I took their suggestion, and have been so pleased with the service I have received. I am a single mom, with very little experience dealing with car troubles, so this place truly is a life saver. I trust Dave and his staff, and you should too.

Amazing work! Very honest about needed repairs as well as those not needed. Very trustworthy, I would recommend to anyone.

I have a new car! At least, it feels that way. I tool in my 2000 Honda Prelude, and they gave me back a better version of my car that I havent seen in years. Great service and great communication.

Very concerned, conscientious andskilled staff.

Great and quick response time when I reached out to Japanese Auto about a repair! The repair was made and they did a complete diagnostic on my SUV. Very thorough and detailed! Kept me updated during the whole process. Late called back for advice and responded quickly! Top notch service!

92 Lexus SC400. Began as a slightly beaten 28 year old car with potential-- now a smooth running luxury auto! Major tune, suspension work, new motor mounts, much more. Now I have a complete picture of the state of the car.So glad I found David-- straight talk with incredible knowledge about Japanese hot rods-- a combination that provides exceptional service. Hes been at this for a long time and definitely delivers.If you want more for your Toyota/Lexus (and many others) than a 10 minute oil change, give Japanese Auto Specialist a call.

My husband takes his Subaru Tribeca there. Hes very pleased. Happy to have found them. He hasnt had good experiences with the Subaru dealer.

Good people who know what they are doing. Fair prices as well. Fixed my prius up pretty quickly at about 7k cheaper then the dealer.

David and team always do a nice job with my cars. I drive an hour to use this shop but the extra effort is worth it - they provide good quality work at a fair price.

Honest, professional service at a reasonable price. David the owner brings exceptional experience and a detail oriented approach to car repair. He takes the time to explain his recommendations so that the customer can comfortably decide whats best. Theres no pressure to buy unnecessary service or parts. His inspection reports are top notch and easy to understand. Skip the dealership service department and try David instead. Both you and your car will be happier for it.

The service was greatThe staff were very helpful and friendly. The wait for my repair to be done was not very long.I definitely would recommend Japanese Auto Specialist to anyone who wants an honest and professional job done on their vehicle.

It’s hard to find an honest well priced mechanic these days but Dave is definitely that. I’ve taken 3 of my cars to him and he always gets you in quick and does a great job. I’ve had a few services recommended to my by the dealership and they always get me a better price here using the same authentic parts. Their inspections are also very detailed. They found a random loose bolt causing my car to slightly rattle over bumps by taking it on a test drive and listening to it themselves. Will continue to take my Hyundai and mazda here and hopefully get a couple hundred thousand miles on them.

I would recommend JAS to everyone. Dave takes his time and explains everything to you. You will have no doubts or questions about work being done. Hes incredibly knowledgeable, and knows how to talk to people.

Honest and efficient. I recommend this business.

Above and Beyond!Such an amazing place! They really are good honest people who explain everything throughly and go over various options. I had my timing belt and other things done and they gave me a great price! And I told them I would come back for my power steering work, they gave me some power steering fluid to hold me over!! This company really is in this business for the right reason. Great honest people who I will continue to go to for all my Honda work. Thank you!

Dave is awesome. There isnt much about Japanese cars that he doesnt know. and if you ask him a question he will give you the best car mechanic answers Ive ever heard.

My 2005 Prius Red Triangle warning light came on during a trip out of town. I made it back and found Japanese Auto Specialist through the positive reviews posted. Now I know why they have ALL positive reviews! They are professional experts with any Japanese made cars. The Prius Hybrids are hard to find competent mechanics to perform diagnostics and repairs, but these guys had it figure out the same day and I had a text and email with the results and estimate of the repairs! I had them do the work and will be taking all three of my Priuss to them from now on!

I own a 2004 Nissan Frontier and have been taking it to Japanese Auto Specialists for a number of years now and am completely satisfied with the Staff, the Service and especially the price of repair or service. I highly recommend this establishment for anyone needing work on their vehicles.

I highly recommend Japanese Auto Specialists! I have been bringing my automobiles here for a few years. David is always very professional and fair with his pricing! Always a good experience when I come here!

I took my 04 350z to David with a camshaft position sensor issue that another tech was unable to resolve. David chased down the cause of my problem and advised me of upcoming issues to look for in the future. I drove home in a working car at the quoted price. I couldnt be happier

I have been going here for over twenty years and they are just the best! All of my vehicles have passed the 300,000 mark. They are thorough, professional and honest. I would not take my vehicles to anyone else.

I spoke with the owner about servicing my car. My questions were answered with sarcasm and he seemed miserable to be there. Maybe he was just having a bad day. Ill never know because I wont return. You dont get a second chance at a first impression.

David and his team are the most knowledgeable, quality oriented and honest group of technicians I have ever dealt with. I was a jet engine mechanic in the Navy for 25 years and always did my own work on all of my vehicles, until I found David and his crew. It is the first time in decades I have trusted anyone but myself to work on my vehicles. Davids straight forward and matter of fact approach to doing things right the first time is unique and hard to find. This is the only place I will ever go for my vehicle repairs. I have my own small engine repair business so I know what good customer service should look like and you will find it here. Thanks for your great work and patience.

Ill never again go to the dealership for service ....Ive spent thousands on having my Infiniti G35 serviced at the local dealership. Over that time, Ive been given incorrect information, paid ridiculous prices for techs who actually installed parts backwards and found cheap non-Nissan parts used in my repairs.Id finally had enough and my first experience with JAS was a real eye-opener. The problem was accurately diagnosed, my options with the pros and cons were clearly explained, the work was done right the first time using top-quality OEM parts and it cost me far less than what the dealer quoted for the exact same parts and repair.I take very good care of my cars and from now on, only JAS works on my family cars.

I called to get a quote to have the engine rebuilt in my Subaru Forester. Voicemail message said to send a text. I finally got a text three days later in reply. By then another provider in Gainesville had given me a quote and I has decided to mive forward with them.

Great staff. Owner and technicians have years of experience. Your Japanese auto will be fully diagnosed and the root cause of the problem will be addressed. Not just spot fixing. They use a great numbering system so that you know what needs to be addressed now and what can be addressed later. Very thorough with their work as well as with the explanation so that your at ease knowing exactly where your car stands and what’s been done. Safe to say if you see a well maintained Japanese auto in Jacksonville, it’s been kept that way by the Japanese Auto Specialist

The Japanese specialist is one in the million in honesty,excellent work, and they the most reasonable price in town and awesome person. Mr. Davis take time to explain after checking of your vehicle if anything else is wrong with car and you can plan ahead of time to do the repairs. To me it is a very Honest, friendly and respectful business. I am very happy with their service...Myrna A. Gonzalez

I have been a customer for more than a decade. Its really hard to find a mechanic you trust and who is honest and thorough; and I found that in David. He has helped maintain my car for years. Ive recommended him to family, friends and coworkers. He will have to retire before I take my car anywhere else. Would highly recommend!

I took my 2000 Toyota in for a diagnostic and inspection. I already had some ideas on what required service, and their inspection results were extremely detailed and covered everything that I knew of and more! The information provided by their inspection will help me determine whether I should consider buying a new car or fix the one I have. If I decide to get the vehicle serviced, I will be returning to them.

My wife and I have used David @ Japanese Specialist since 1991! We indirectly knew David when he worked at our favorite repair shop in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, prior to him opening his own shop in Jacksonville. He knows his import automobiles, inside & out. David has delt with all kinds of customers over the years and in reading reviews, some people dont appreciate his straight forward, no BS personality. He IS extremely understanding and will help whenever possible. Just dont take advantage...... David resolved a vibration issue with my sports car, that my Nissan Dealer couldnt figure out. It was under warranty and Nissan paid to replace the drive shift.Youll never be sorry about getting work preformed there. He doesnt sell any work not needed and will advise you on additional items to keep your eye on.Always a 5 Star Rating!!!!Brian F.St. Augustine, FL

My wife and I have taken our cars to The Japanese Specialist for 25 years going back to the early 1990s. He has what I consider to be an extraordinary knowledge of automobiles, including the automotive industry in general. (I think he rivals the Click and Clack brothers of Car Talk.) He has earned our trust and our respect for the quality of the work he and his mechanics have provided, for the cost-benefit thinking that is behind his recommendations, and for his forthrightness and honesty. When we have purchased new cars, he has given us superb advice. In sum, he has earned our admiration for his professional expertise and for the kind of character he has evidenced.

Excellent customer service. On a Friday afternoon my Lexus acted up. We were going to leave on vacation to Maine on Monday. David went out of his way to assure us of a safe journey. He worked on Saturday his day off to get my car ready. He knows my 460 L Lexus better than either dealer in Jacksonville, fl. This is a honest hard working man.Richard Marshall. retired.

Rude! Basically assumed I had no money and wasn’t mechanically inclined

David has been working on my car(s) for 9+ years - he came highly recommended from an employee working at an auto parts store. A few years later David suggested that I may want to consider purchasing a newer car - he noticed the repairs were going to become excessive. I took Davids advise - purchased another car, then after the warranty expired I went back to Davids shop. Due to Davids honesty and loyalty to his customers I have recommended friends and family, which they now take their cars to Japanese Auto Specialist!

During my last 20 years in Jacksonville I used Japanese Specialist for all of my checkups and repairs for my Honda and Hyundai. Their knowledge about foreign cars is excellent; better than youll find anywhere else in Jacksonville. For whatever repair I needed or even with routine checkups, they were very thorough in explaining what happened and what needed to be done. Theyve always been very nice and courteous. I highly recommend them.

Brought in my 2007 Mazda 3 for an oil change as a test drive of this shop. They were honest and provided a great detailed inspection report. I felt comfortable enough after talking with Dave to schedule major work. They replaced the engine and transmission mounts, and the steering control arms. (The rubber in these things break down with age). The price was reasonable and the work was perfect. They used only genuine Mazda parts. The car feels brand new. All vibrations are gone. I do most of my own work on the car, so I know how to check over their workmanship, and it is spot on. Any job that is beyond my ability will go to them.

I took my wifes 2011 Toyota Sienna to a local Toyota Dealer and was shocked when they presented me with a $2400 estimate for a new water pump..Yikes!!Called Japanese Auto Specialist. Spoke with Dave. He was knowledgeable, professional and emailed me a quote within 30 min. Far less expensive than the dealer!! I booked an appointment, dropped off van and it was fixed by the afternoon!! Great value,service and well worth your consideration when you are in need of a trustworthy mechanic.

I very much recommend going to Japanese Auto Specialist for Japanese autos. I initially went in knowing my brakes needed to be done and to get a good once over to see what kind of work my Odyssey may need. I received an email explaining everything that needed to be done, and an email for each portion of work that included an estimate and a breakdown of charges. The work that needed to be done was also rated most important/needing to be done asap to less important and potentially when the work may need to be done. When I went back to get my vehicle, all of this information was also already printed out and handed to me so I had a physical copy. Ive since gone back and had part of the work done and will hopefully be able to get more work done here in the future. Having everything broken down, the rating system, the attention to detail in everything, was extremely helpful and very professional.In my dealings with Japanese Auto Specialist, Ive found the owner to be straightforward and honest. I appreciate that he isnt pushy about getting work done and doesnt try to upsell additional work that may not even need to be done. His pricing is fair and within normal range for the auto repair industry. He makes sure to explain whats going on, and will answer questions to the best of his knowledge. If youre wondering if its a good place to go, or have read some of the not so good reviews, I suggested calling and talking to David and get a feel for him yourself. I have already been telling others about his shop and how professional he is, and I highly suggest utilizing his shop.*PS if youre an animal lover, youll appreciate that he also takes care of several local TNR cats, and some of them might just say hi to you

It is a real pleasure to have an auto repair shop I can trust. David is honest and thorough. He treats his customers like family. He has helped maintain my 2002 Toyota 4 Runner for years. I have recommended him to family, friends and coworkers.

Ive been coming here for a long time. Servicing, repairs or even questions on the phone are always superior. I recommend Japanese Auto Specialists to everyone as the place you can count on for excellent service, convenient appointments and no pushing of unnecessary work. David Genchur is wonderful and hell treat you right.

As a single female I feel comfortable bringing my car here because Mike has a good reputation and has been in business a long time. He explains things in detail. Convenient location. Trustworthy.

This is the place to take your Japanese import in Jacksonville. They have correctly identified and fixed every issue on my 2005 Honda Accord with over 220k miles. I have had previous experience with other shops that cant seem to get the fix right- not here. Dave will work with you to ensure you know what needs work and he will prioritize what needs to be done near term and what can wait. I have been a satisfied customer for over 5 years and I wouldnt dream of going anywhere else!

Had put hundreds of dollars into fixing our car with a shady mechanic. We took our car to David and within a day he called and asked if we wanted him to keep testing the car for issues since what he had found so far was already over 800 in repairs. He gave us a complete print out and everything so we had proof of what needed to be done. After we decided it wasnt worth fixing he offered to check out another car for us before we bought it. I really appreciate his Honesty and integrity. I would give him 10 stars if it went that high and i definitely recommend him and his shop.

Excellent quality work, did not push unnecessary services. Fair and reasonable prices and quote -matched final invoice (no surprise charges). I like that this shop uses all original/OEM. Our Honda Accord runs great after service here. Highly recommended.

My name is John R Wellman. David n I befriended each other in the late 80’s. I was employed at an automotive transmission company at the time. As I watched David’s business open its doors and grow in the automotive repair service, the time came when I wanted to make a choice. Was I willing to possibly jeopardize our relationship by becoming an employee of his. We sat down an talked. I jumped at the opportunity. For David operates an business like non other Ive ever seen. Clean thorough respectful quality quantity going the extra time in detail for every costumer. Anyhow is was pleasant working with Dave. Personal adventures for me and my family led me to move from Jacksonville. Though Dave n I kept I touch. Anytime I had an mechanical question to which I was questioning myself. I would call Dave. Im proud to say here in the near future I plan on rejoining David his staff and the The Japanese Auto Repair Team. Bottom line folks : I highly recommended The Japanese specialist for all your automotive repair services.

David and his team have been more than helpful. They are HONEST (unlike many auto mechanic chains) and will be up front with you about what they think needs to be done and when. They also charge as little as possible to honor the needs of their costumers. I won’t go anywhere else for my car needs now!

Hitting the nail on the head serviceI have a 2005 Toyota. David has been taking care this vehicle for many years. He is reliable and trustworthy. So glad to see him still in charge and his wife and son are also supporting this business. David knows his customers and their cars very well. My car is 15 years old now, I believe David can make it last for another ten years.

Dave has worked on my familys cars for years and we were so upset to move out of state because we worried we would never find a mechanic like him again. Although I am no longer a customer, I recently called Japanese Auto Specialists with a question about a repair they did two years ago. Dave went above and beyond to help, even speaking to my local mechanic to work things out. Dave is so knowledgeable, honest and generous ; and I appreciate the time he has taken to give advice, explain my options and then do good work. Japanese Auto Specialists will take care of you - I highly recommend them!

Excellent customer service, prices and you know it is fixed the first time! They will tell you EXACTLY what is wrong with your car and explain it to you in detail. They do not bait and switch you like most dealers and car repair shops do today. You can trust what they tell you about your car. I absolutely love the service I have received from this shop.

Japanese Auto Specialist Inc. has been servicing our two automobiles for 16 years, and we are absolutely 100% happy and satisfied with the service and management. We have never had a problem with anything, and have been given good advice when needed. We will be customers as long as we have automobiles. Thank you all for your good, hard work.

David and his team installed a new/rebuilt engine and transmission into my 26 year old Toyota MR2 during late 2015. Immediately after getting the car back I quickly accumulated over 4000 miles driving from Florida to New Jersey (2x) as well as a spirited detour through the Tail of the Dragon in Tennessee without a single incident. Jump forward 2 years later and the car is still running rock solid. I wouldnt trust my car to anyone else.

David best shop I have ever been in. Do yourself a favor try this shop out. Review based on twenty years of working with David. You want the truth about your car this is the place to come too.

In taking my vehicles to Japanese Auto Specialists for the last 4 years my experience has been a consistently excellent one! Ive always received awesome service on all my vehicles in a timely manner with excellent communication and customer service. Based on my personal experience I highly recommend Japanese Auto Specialists.

If you own a Nissan, this is your place. Extremely knowledgeable.

Nicest and highly intelligent owner. Very knowledgeable in foreign cars. Been taking my cars to David Japanese Specialist for over 20 years. Nice guy to be with and very competent person. Makes sure that his employees do what they are supposed to do.

They were the first of 3 mechanics I took my 2002 Avalon to when it recently started having accelerating issues/dragging. They road test and hook my car up to the computer giving issues with cylinders 2,4,6 in which the owner or boss determined the issue was the Catalytic Converter bank 2 needed to be replaced. When I asked him a question he made it clear to me this was based on his 45 years of knowledge and I could take it or leave it. He later sent me an email with quote of over $1100 for the repair without even opening the hood to my car. As he said take it or leave it, well Im glad I left it as 1 day later my car is running as good as new after having spark plugs, coils, vvt seloid and some other misc stuff done at another garage.

Dave and the team at Japanese Auto Spealist were fantastic. They painted and replaced my mirror and you cant even tell it was repaired. Also caught that my rear wheel bearings needed to be replaced, Ive heard a humming noise for a few months but no other mechanic could figure it out, now I can hear myself breathe.. lol. Great work for a fair price!

I went there with my cousin to check the progress on his Subaru WRX which had already been there way passed the expected completion date. We called several times beforehand to receive an update but nobody answered. As we were checking out the car and the work that still needed to be done, I spoke to my cousin in Spanish explaining that if the owner of the shop recommends the work should be done then he should trust him and pay the extra $600. At that point the owner stated very aggressively that only one language will be spoken at his shop and that if we didnt like it to get off of his property or he would call the police. Now I understand that everyone is not as accepting of other cultures as others but a little more tact and respect would of gone a long way. I served my country and to be treated like this hurts on a completely different level.

I was in this place not even 5 minutes before I realized that Im not going to have my car service there. The owner is a total narcissist and wont hesitate to tell you how much experience he has and how much he knows more than you. If I could give less than a 1 star rating I would.

I have taken several of my cars to Japanese Auto Specialists for work. David did a fantastic job and always repairs the car quickly and for a fair price. My 2003 Honda Pilot with over 200k miles rides like a new car.

Excellent service! My car has never ran better and with over 184000 miles. David knows his stuff when it comes to vehicle repairs. He wont recommend anything you dont need either. Cant recommend a better place to take your car!

David is honest, trust worthy, and knowledgeable. I have been taking my cars there for the last 7 years and have always had excellent customer service and fair prices. Would gladly recommend!

Great service and attention.

David is a great guy. They are always busy but they will treat you right and make sure that youre vehicle is running great before you leave.

They truly care about service. The front bottom of my car got caught in a rebar when I was parking in a shopping center. I was able get the rebar out but it punctured a hole in the plastic cover and pulled it out a little bit such that it was hanging down. I took the car straight to Japanese auto parts. They looked at it and said they could it fix it by fastening the plastic backup. I asked when they could do it. Knowing that I came in without an appt I figured it wouldn’t be that day. But he said to come back in an hour. So I did. They fixed it in 15mins and they wouldn’t even charge me for it! That’s service. They do things right. I wish they would have charged me but he wouldn’t let me pay. I would recommend them to anyone.

I took my car in to get checked out and to get a quote on repairs, after paying $56 for the diagnostic I picked up my Car Friday evening and when I did the VSA lights, and check engine lights were on and the car would start stalling out when it reached 3K RPM. I called 1st thing Monday to let them know of the issue and they said to bring it back in which I did that afternoon after work. They looked at it and said that they would have to charge another fee to be able to figure out why the car would stall at 3K RPM. I left and took my car to the Honda dealership where they looked at it and discovered the MAP sensor was unplugged within 5 minutes. Once plugged back in the VSA and check engine light went off and the car drove fine. I will not be going back and will be letting everyone I know about my experience, because they either did it on purpose to screw me over or they are incompetent.

Davids is the best, I dont think anybody else could keep our 93 Quest running so good. My wife loves her van. Thanks David.

Today I called the shop and spoke to Dave. Right away his voice gave me the impression that he was annoyed and overwhelmed with work, and that the last thing he cared about was a new customer. In the beginning his answers were short and terse, but when I asked a simple Yes or No question he went on for several minutes speaking in mostly technical jargon. Long story short, today they lost a customer even before I made it through the door.

Took my RX350 in for service. David was honest & accurate in his estimates & time to complete. JAS identifies needed repairs/service and those that can be deferred. I feel that I’m being treated honestly & fairly with each transaction. I’ll teturn with my other cars soon. Highly recommended.

Ive never, ever had a mechanic I could absolutely trust. David at Japanese Auto Specialist has serviced three cars of ours, and he was frank, honest, unbelievably thorough, and LISTENED. I would, and will, recommend him and his team in a HEARTBEAT.

Not what I expected. Charged for alignment but then when I called because alignment was off they said we dont do that here...[Update based on response: 1. Clearly, in my case this service was not done by anyone by the way it drove. 2. I was not given a contact to get the work corrected, I was brushed off. 3. I suspect the alignment was eyeballed and driven down the road at best. 4. I was charged for an alignment.]Its always one thing after another. Real car guy behind the counter, idk whos behind the wrench but Ive had one issue after another.(Its a three-star because its a local business with an otherwise good reputation, and Im being as fair as I can be.)

Ive gone to them for the big issues with my vehicle because I trust them. They have gone out of their way to help me out and I cant thank them enough. If you are considering going to some stealership for anything but an oil change sale, go here first. They might take a bit longer, but they are trustworthy and affordable.

All of the great reviews sounded too good to be true. But its true. Japanese Auto Specialist finds whats wrong and fixes what needs to be fixed for a very fair price. Jacksonvilles lucky to have em.

He has been my mechanic since 1991 & all of my vehicles have run over 300,000 miles. My current Honda has 329,000. I average 150 to two hundred miles a days a real estate agent. I recommend him to everyone!

David has worked various cars of mine and my families and I have never neen disappointed. Great service and very knowledgable!!! Saves me money all the time and I know my cars are in good hands.

JAS Inc. exceeded expectations by a mile. They pursued a pesky Mazda CX9 engine issue until resolved. I liked how this shop kept me informed. I like how this shop acquired extra tools to diagnose. I like how this shop kept the driver (my wife) happy for weeks. Job well done.

I came in with a big problem that no one else could even touch. They worked on it until it was right. Definitely going back for more of my maintenance needs.

What a great guy!!!! He does great work on all models but definetly knows his stuff on foreign cars and will save you a bundle. He is honest, fast and thats the 2 best things when getting your car fixed. Thanks David!!!!!

Experts. This place is the best place in the South East to bring your Japanese automobiles / trucks. Ionly use this place since 2013! They make the local dealers look like armatures.

Called today guy who answered wouldnt even let me talk, totally unprofessional. With phone educate like that I would be damned to let them touch my car. Bunch of jerks dont waste your time.

I absolutely love this place..I wont take my truck any where else..the people are friendly & Mr.David is all ways up front & honest...Love..Love..Love..

Japanese Auto Specialist has done many jobs for my 1992 Toyota Celica Convertible. I have been very pleased with the professionalism of David and his staff. I will continue to use his services when needed.

I have always had a great job done by David and staff. I have two Honda CRVs [2001 and a 2012] and have had them serviced at every Honda dealer in Jacksonville Florida. There is always some misunderstanding of what may need to be done and what has to be done. This has never happened with David. I dont take my cars to anyone else.

Our family has used Japanese Specialist for almost 30 years. We soley use Dave because he is honest and stands by his work.

Why would you go anywhere else-been going to JAS for 9 years-I know Ill be safe on the road

All of my experiences whether it be brakes, oil changes, headlight replacements, etc... have been polite, honest, and kind and the work was always done just as they said they would. David is a man of his word and I couldnt ask for a better mechanic.

Great service, great integrity, absolutely fair and upfront prices. If you dont already own one, buy a Japanese automobile so you can have it serviced by Dave.

Outstanding auto service coupled with excellent Customer Value. It just doesnt get any better then that!!!!

Wonderful shop. Fair prices and honest service.

David and his team are top notch. I have 3 Japanese auto,s that I have had repaired there, and the service is always done right the first time.

Not the best people person attitude but definitely do good work Ill go back

Brang my 09 accord up here cause of power issues david was a wizzard on finding out what it was in a good turn around time highly recommended very professional at a great price!!!!
