Free Car Care classes:
We offer our clients many opportunities to better understand the vehicles they drive, the common services that these vehicles need, and do it in our repair facility to show you what you should be looking for. We have vehicles in the air, motors and transmissions on rebuild benches, a well put together slideshow presentation and Q&A. If you are interested in learning more, or signing up a group contact us today for additional class dates/times.
1. Group Class: How to choose the right auto repair shop for you:
During this class Owner of A+ Japanese Auto Repair Inc. Eric S. will take you through many of the experiences clients run into when it comes auto repair and service. He can help you to ask the right questions to qualify an auto repair facility for your needs.

3. Mentor Program - Middle School & High School Mentor Program
A+ Japanese Auto Repair has been offering mentor programs through the local school districts in Belmont, San Carlos, Foster City, Redwood Shores, and San Mateo to students who have interest in the automotive field. We typically set aside time to teach and train the students in all aspects of an independent repair facility. We spend time showing them how the front office staff works with clients and the technical staff to relay the findings to the clients, order parts, work with accounting, and phone skills. The students will also spend time in the back work facility with the Mechanics spending time as an apprentice mechanic learning basic auto repair skills and the progressing. We have two students we have mentored that are now working for us full time. This can be a rewarding field.
