There were no stores in the area with a replacement (Audi). We came up with a plan to use a liquid weld and some high temp tape. It took 3 hrs for everything and it held up 500 miles to San Diego. The price was very fair. I cannot be any happier with these guys.

It's smog check up the road, and so I needed to drive it about 50 miles or so to "reset the car's computer, " before it would pass . I decided to stop here for an oil change before I did that, as the car was way overdue. I was helped by Mike. He's helped me before, he's always thorough, friendly, and helpful. He got me checked in, he told me the different options for an oil change, and I told him which one I wanted. They did the oil change, and I was out in about 15 to 20 minutes. The price was extremely reasonable. Everything was great. Before I left, on the side, I happened to mention that I had needed the oil change because of the smog check. He said, oh, before you take the car back to the smog shop, stop in here, we will do a pretest to make sure you drove enough to reset the computer. I said, no charge? Nope That was nice of him. I drove 45 miles "up the hill" to Pollock Pines, to look at all of the pretty new snow. I came back, it took less than five minutes to do the pretest, and he told me, "green lights all the way." I took the car back to the smog shop and passed with flying colors. As I mentioned, I've always gotten great service here at Danny's. Thank you, Mike, for taking that extra step for me. I truly appreciate it. I will be back.

I was recommended Japan Auto Care by a customer of mine when talking about supporting local…read morebusinesses, I work at an employee owned company and this is important to me, but sadly I will never recommend them. I brought my car in to get my ac fixed. I've had an issue with not being able to recharge it and when I brought in my car it would not make cool air, heater still worked and this is important for later. I waited around 15 minutes to be seen as there was no one in the office and eventually one of the service techs came out to ask what I was doing. He was nice enough to check in my car and send me on my way with the expectation that it would be worked on that day. Fantastic! I'm a single payer household with one car and two days off just like many of you reading this. I got a call about half an hour after that from the person who was working the office that day, they informed me that the service tech was mistaken and they didn't know how the scheduling system works for when the work will be done and it would be a few days. I should have known right there to just pick up my car but I wanted to give them a chance. Just under $1400 for a new compressor and the labor to install it, I was thinking it was steep but I wanted ac in my during the heat wave of the summer. I paid and picked up my car using the after hours drop off. (The combo was off by a digit and not the one they sent me initially.) I drove my car less than 500 miles before my car broke down, when the work was done to my ac it seems to have killed the blower inside my intake manifold. I know that because I brought my car back and explained what happened. They told charged me for a check engine light diagnostic, told me what the issue was and asked me to pay another $1300 for a new intake manifold. Not a single word about taking any kind of responsibility, discount to make it right, nothing. I took my car and got a used manifold and got it installed. Which worked fine for a while until that one also blew. If I could go back in time, I would take away the excitement I had for having ac for the first time in a summer because now as we approach winter I can't use my fans at all without having my car stop again. I paid almost $2000 for the privilege of being hot in the summer and cold in the winter and trying to use my air will throttle my engine at low rpms. I will answer any and all questions about my experience if anyone would like to send me messages. To those hard working people out there who are worried about getting work done and there being no recourse, for the amount I paid, the dealer would have been better and taken care of problems that arose. *editing my review from here down since the owner has responded back to me. If you have any question of the validity of my review here are just a couple of things to consider, here is a screenshot of me texting the number he said I didn't with "feedback" about it not working properly. Oh by the way it was the same mistake the second time I picked up my car but by this point I had already spent an hour figuring out where they made the mistake. And by the way my message and video was ignored at the time. You can see how he talks about it being my fault the blower went out due to my oil, which is also funny that it was only brought up on my first visit where my blower was still working.

Consumer Warning -- My Experience With This CAP Repair Facility​…read moreI am sharing my personal experience to warn other low-income California consumers who have received a BAR CAP repair assistance award.​ Before bringing my vehicle to this repair facility, I already had a Toyota dealership diagnosis showing P0420. I also personally scanned the vehicle and found the same P0420-related fault codes. Several repair shops had previously told me that the likely repair was replacement of the exhaust manifold catalytic converter.​ When I asked this shop for a repair price, they refused to give me a price without first charging for a diagnostic inspection. I was told the labor rate was $175 per hour and that the diagnostic charge would be 1.5 hours, or $262.50.​ I explained that I was willing to pay for a diagnostic inspection only if it was necessary to determine and complete the repair, not simply to obtain another diagnosis that I already had. Because English is difficult for me, I asked them to communicate with me by text message, but communication was difficult.​ The shop eventually provided an estimate totaling $2,607.99. The estimate included approximately $1,941.15 for three Toyota OEM parts, which I believe was substantially higher than the Toyota dealer MSRP prices I had researched. I also asked about using an aftermarket catalytic converter that meets California CARB requirements and provided the brand and part information, but I was told that those parts were not available.​ Under the BAR CAP program, my assistance award was up to $1,450. Based on the shop's estimate, I was told I would have to pay a substantial amount out of pocket. I was concerned that the repair estimate was being made unnecessarily high, making the repair unaffordable for a low-income CAP customer.​ I was also given different warranty information during the process. Initially, I was told that the catalytic converter replacement would have a 2-year/24,000-mile warranty, but later the estimate showed a 1-year/12,000-mile warranty. This change was concerning to me.​ I am also concerned about the diagnostic work that was actually performed. I was told that the shop checked the spark plugs and oxygen sensors, but I did not receive a detailed diagnostic report showing all of the tests performed. I received a smog-check report, but I did not receive documentation showing that an exhaust-leak test was performed. I was particularly concerned because the vehicle had already been diagnosed with P0420.​ When I picked up my vehicle, the shop did not provide me with a scan showing the vehicle's fault codes at that time. After I returned home, I scanned the vehicle and found additional codes, including P0351, P0352, P0353, and P0354, which are ignition-coil circuit codes. These additional codes were not present in the scan I had performed before bringing the vehicle to the shop. I cannot say how these codes appeared, and I am not making a claim that the shop intentionally caused them, but the timing is very concerning and I believe it should be investigated.​ Another major concern was my BAR CAP award letter. The shop retained the original CAP letter/document containing my personal information. I was concerned that retaining the original document could interfere with my ability to take the vehicle to another CAP-authorized repair facility before my repair authorization expired. I was told by BAR that a repair facility can use a copy in the CAP system, so I strongly recommend that CAP customers understand exactly what documents the shop is entitled to retain.​ Based on my experience, I strongly recommend that CAP customers:​ * Get a written estimate and understand all charges before authorizing diagnostic work. * Ask exactly what diagnostic tests will be performed and request the written results. * Confirm the warranty terms in writing before approving repairs. * Compare OEM and CARB-compliant aftermarket parts and prices. * Keep copies/photos of all BAR CAP documents and personal records. * Scan the vehicle before dropping it off and again immediately when picking it up. * Do not rely only on verbal promises--get important information in writing. * If you are not satisfied with the proposed repair, contact BAR/CAP before allowing the repair authorization to expire.​ This review describes my personal experience. I encourage other CAP customers to do their own research, carefully document the condition of their vehicle before and after service, and contact the California Bureau of Automotive Repair if they believe their CAP rights or repair authorization have not been properly handled.​ I would not personally return to this repair facility based on my experience.
