Shady sales regarding tires. Called specifically requesting a Michelin defender tire. The guy texted me back, saying they don’t even make the tire in that size (lie) so they do not have it and offered me a cheaper alternative that was still priced like the Michelin tire. I won’t include his name because I don’t believe in bashing people individually, but come on, dude. Not only that but Americas Tire has both the Michelin tire in stock and is $400 cheaper than their alternative option. Definitely do business elsewhere.

Hi Jesse, Thank you for sharing your feedback — and you’re absolutely right to point out that the Michelin Defender tire is made in your vehicle’s size. After reviewing your interaction, I want to sincerely apologize for the confusion. Our team did search for that specific tire through our distributors at the time, but unfortunately, it wasn’t available through our normal supply channels. We should have communicated that more clearly instead of leaving the impression that the tire didn’t exist. We’ve already discussed your experience internally and have updated our tire search and quoting procedures to make sure we always clarify whether a tire is unavailable through our vendors versus unavailable altogether. That’s an important distinction, and we appreciate you helping us catch it. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. We genuinely appreciate the feedback and the opportunity to improve.

A+ was courteous, fast, and well priced. They gave me info on what service was needed right away, and what may need to be addressed in the near future. Both Elaine and Albert were a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend A+ Japanese Auto!

Hi Justin, Thank you so much for the 5-star review! It was a real pleasure having you and your 2000 Toyota Camry in with us. Elaine and Albert both appreciated the chance to talk through your service needs and help create a plan that fits how you actually use your car — since you only drive it a few times a month, we want every recommendation to be purposeful and cost-effective. We’re grateful for your trust and happy to know you felt the visit was courteous, fast, and well-priced. We appreciate you trusting the recommendation to our shop from your cousin!! Also, thank you again for recommending us and the 5 star review — we look forward to keeping that Camry running smoothly for years to come!

Dropped my car off for an oil change and for an inspection to address a rattling noise from my engine. A Lyft ride is generously dispatched for me to get home. I am promptly alerted that my car is ready at the time promised and that the proposed inspection fee would be waived as the hood latch only needed lubrication. I am grateful for the honesty and commitment to customer service, what a delightful experience. My car sounds new again!!!!! I had my water pump replaced here back in December and have had no issues. My mom used to bring her car here for repairs when I was kid. A+ is top notch in terms of customer service, quality of work, and value. Pretty sweet to see they haven’t lost those values over time and have figured out a way to make their business model resilient. The techs in the garage are always friendly and helpful. Much thanks to Albert, Moss, and the rest of the team for making this last visit a memorable one.

Hi Sam, We can’t tell you how much your review means to all of us — especially Albert who is thrilled to read your kind words! It’s really special to hear that your family has trusted A+ Japanese Auto Repair for so many years, and that we’re still living up to those same values of honesty, quality, and genuine care. We are glad to have your 2013 Scion tC back running quiet! We’re so glad the oil change and hood latch service went smoothly, and that the car is sounding great again! Thanks for recognizing our team’s attention to detail and customer-first approach — we truly believe that’s what makes A+ “A+.” Looking forward to helping you (and your family) whenever you need us next! So fun to be able to serve the San Carlos community after over 25 years in business.

I’ve been taking my Lexus here for over 8 years. They’re transparent, explain work in detail, and always honor their warranty on repairs and tires. My last visit was for oil, tires, and alignment. Knowledgeable shop, don’t be afraid to ask questions on any recommendations they give.

Hana!! Thank you for trusting us with your Lexus for over 8 years and thank you for the awesome 5-star review! We’re glad our team’s transparency and detailed explanations have been helpful—and we appreciate you calling out our warranty support. Happy to hear your recent oil service, tires, and alignment went smoothly. Keep the questions coming; we’re always here to walk through any recommendations with you. — Eric S.

A+ Japanese Auto Repair has consistently provided excellent service. I value most their honest communication style - letting me know what details require immediate attention vs what details should just be monitored for future attention vs what fixes I should have done at the dealer because it’s under warranty. And I’ll gladly bring my cars back to for that future fix because I’ve never felt duped or pressured to make a questionable repair.

Hi Erin! — thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled our communication style stands out for you, we have been working very hard to make sure we lay out everything we can very clearly and make sure it's digestible! —Clearly explaining what needs attention now, what can be monitored, and what’s best handled under warranty at the dealer. That transparency and zero-pressure approach is exactly how we aim to earn your trust every visit. We appreciate you coming back to us for future work, and we’ll be ready whenever you need steering & suspension repairs, diagnostics, brakes, general maintenance—or guidance on anything else. Thanks again for choosing A+ Japanese Auto Repair in San Carlos! — Eric S. & the A+ Japanese Auto Repair Team 650-946-1856 • https://aplusjapaneseautorepair.com/
