Yay is great, he is very kind and very willing to help you out with your vehicle, his work is very good, I have never had any issues with the work he has done for me, always done right the first time.Yay is very honest, he will let you know what he can and cant do, and if he is unable to do the work, he will try and recommend somewhere else he personally knows you can get the work done. He is the perfect tradesmen in my opinion.

This was the best experience Ive ever had with a mechanic. Jay was friendly, honest, and very affordable. He not only changed my timing belt for half the price that the Honda Service Center quoted, he also fixed several other issues along the way for only the cost of the parts, all within 24 hours of me dropping my car off. Jay does great work, you wont be disappointed.

This is a small shop run by Jay who specializes in Japanese cars. He is wonderful. I have been very impressed with his work. He really seems to know what he is doing and is very transparent with his price/what needs to be done. I had my car seen for an issue at another place before coming to him and he was able to do the job for half the price the other place quoted me. Still doing a quality job with theupgrade parts. My Subaru is in great hands. I just keep coming back.

This place was great. Jay got me in right away after calling around trying to find a shop that would do a quick inspection after my long trip. Jay was friendly and even asked questions about the car while doing the inspection. I would highly recommend him if you want quality service.

We are so fortunate to have this repair shop in our neighborhood. We have a 2000 Toyota Tundra and Jay has kept our truck in great shape. The work is reliable and affordable. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy mechanic.

Im incredibly lucky to have found this mechanic. This shop has overnight drop off and is located near the bus line, which will be free to use next month. This isnt the case for all the other honest, mechanic run, small but genuine shops Ive been suggested over the years. Jay is the real deal and does fantastic work.

Wow! What a joke. I took my Toyota MR2 here for some diagnostic work. The car was running rough and overheating. He had the car for an hour and a half and then called us to tell us to come pick up the car and he had no idea what was wrong with it. That. Is. His. One. Job! I took my JAPANESE car to a JAPANESE auto mechanic who is JAPANESE and he was clueless? Dont waste time going to this shop. Apparently he cant do anything more complicated than an oil change.

Ive taken my used car to Jay for years. He came highly recommended from my user car salesman friend and Ive never gone anywhere else. I tell all my friends about him when they need repairs. Jay is very honest and gets the job done quickly. Thanks as always Jay!

We called on Tuesday and Jay got us in the next day for work on my wife’s 1991 Miata. He was very thorough and charges were very reasonable. We were really impressed with Jay and his workmanship. He was very knowledgable and it’s great to find a Japanese car specialty mechanic We will highly recommend Jay and his shop. We WILL be back again ! Thanks Jay

The most honest, knowledgeable mechanic that I have ever dealt with. I will only take my vehicles here. My vintage 4Runner runs like new and the price was on point with the quote

Came to this shop with an engine repair light and an open wallet. Was ready to painfully give up money. Owner came out, checked my car out, asked me some questions, turned off the light and told me my car was fine. All free. If that’s not the hallmark of an honest business, I don’t know what is. This is my shop of choice now.

This place is great. They are extremely quick and do amazing work. They also are very well priced. They dont try to up charge and they dont try to sell you stuff you dont need. I will be recommending them to everyone I know. Definitely going to be coming here to get my car serviced from now on.

Review №26

I took my lemon car to Jay at A-1 for servicing. When I was looking at a different used car in 2002, I brought it to him for inspection. He gave me a thumbs up. I still drive that car. After moving to Seattle, I would bring my car down for servicing. Jays prices are so much better, and he is very honest. He will show you the old parts when you pick up you car. Now that Ive moved out of state, I really miss the care and confidence I got from A-1 Japanese.I ABSOLUTELY recommend A-1 Japanese Auto Repair

THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING. HANDS DOWN!!For five years, Ive driven a 1999 Toyota Camry, and nothing calms my spirit like a Japanese company working on my Japanese car. These guys are fast, honest, and LOT cheaper than Toyota dealerships or other mechanics.Ive moved past my 99 Camry and on to a 2017 Camry, so you know wholl have my business in the future. A1 is fast, and TOP QUALITY WORK.

Review №28

Ive always been impressed with A1. Ive taken my 2004 Toyota Avalon in for repair a few times and Im always happy with the price and service quality. One thing that impresses me - when I come to pick up my car he has the parts replaced out to show me and he explains what he did... This ads to my trust factor - that the work being done is good and honest. I just recommended a friend to A! - so I will definitely recommend him again in the future. Note** my 2004 Avalon has 160k miles - he says it will go for 100k more... Sweet! We just bought a new Avalon so after warranties we will be taking it to A1 too.

It was time for a timing belt service on my Tacoma and I didnt have time to do it myself. I bought all of the required parts off of Ebay and brought them to Jay and worked out a good time for the job. Jays price was on the money and he was able to complete the whole job fast and to the standard. I recommend him and will use his service in the future. Thanks Jay!

Since I was 16 yrs old I have been taking my Toyotas, Hondas, and Subarus to Jay at A-1. He is the man. Since the first Been taking my Toyota, Honda, and Subarus there since I was 16. The first time he quoted me a price to replace a head gasket on my 4-Runner. Upon picking up Jay said it took him less time than quoted so he billed me $80 less! Now that is honest folks! Great work. Quick in and out.
