A+ Japanese Auto Repair, Inc.
First time customer, and I plan to use these guys again! I had noticed that I needed to get my braking pads replaced after my car was screeching for awhile. So initially, I purchased their Winter Special because it came with full brake inspections plus a lot of other great features for $100. Unfortunately, I find out that I waited too long to get the brake pads replaced and had to get my rotors fixed as well. THEN I find out that my alignment had been off for some time now and that my tires were angled inward and about to pop. So now I have to replace one tire (which means it's basically time to get a new set). Instantly they say that it wouldn't be safe to drive the car at all. Finally, I'm told that there are a bunch of other smaller things that would need to be fixed. Total cost would be from $1500 - $2000 :O So I know what you're thinking... "Don't you think you were just being played for a chump?" Normally, I would be very skeptic about all this; after all, I went in to replace something small and suddenly came out with something huge. However, these guys proved themselves out of my skepticism. While I was at work (which they give you a lift to by the way while your car is in the shop), I get the call from my representative (Naeem) who had sent me over a diagnostic for us to go over. This thing had a list of what was inspected and place them in categories from "All Good" to "Repairs Will Be Needed Later" to "GET FIXED NOW". On top of that, for the major fixes they provided pictures so I could actually SEE what they were seeing. As far as cost goes, yeah, it costed me an arm, but not a leg. Naeem not only helped me figure out the most necessary things that had to be fixed to get me on the road, but even helped with the price by giving me a discount since I work at Oracle (they get a lot of customers from there). Overall, my car runs like a dream, and I know what I'll have to get later so I can plan ahead. Definitely recommend.
