I used to work right down the street from Japanese Auto Center (JAC) since the early 2000s, but…read moretypically take my vehicle to the dealership for service. Looking back, that was a mistake. Recently, I needed to replace the evaporator core and expansion valve for my A/C, and the dealership quoted me almost twice what JAC did. Since it was such an expensive repair, I decided to give JAC a try, and I'm so glad I did. The first thing that impressed me was the size of the shop. They have multiple service bays, not just in the main area but in another section as well. More importantly, the customer service was outstanding. Whenever I called with a question, Kevin didn't have someone else relay the information--he got on the phone himself and kept me updated every step of the way. When the replacement part they received turned out to be defective, they handled it quickly and made it right without any hassle. Another thing I really appreciated was the complimentary rides to and from my home while my car was being repaired. Maria and Mario were both incredibly kind. Maria mentioned she had recently joined JAC after working as a parts driver for another company, and she had nothing but positive things to say about the people there, which spoke volumes to me. Then, over the weekend, while driving to Orange County and finally enjoying my cold A/C, I started hearing a strange wind noise coming from my convertible top. I thought maybe a seal had come loose, but when I got home and looked under the car, I discovered my engine splash shield had torn loose and was scraping the road. I called JAS right away, and they immediately contacted the parts department, ordered the replacement, and took care of it quickly. I want to thank the entire team. From Kevin, Roger, and Dan to Maria and Mario, everyone I dealt with was professional, honest, and genuinely helpful. It's hard to find a repair shop you can trust, but I can honestly say I trust JAC. They may not give your vehicle a courtesy wash before you leave, but if you're saving $$ is it really worth it? If you're looking for a great place to have your vehicle serviced, I highly recommend giving them a try.

Japanese Auto Center: 5/5…read more They earned every point. 1/1 for repair quality: They repaired a loose caliper pin on my driver-side brake and corrected a brake-light stop switch that I had installed incorrectly. Both were separate issues, and both were properly addressed. 1/1 for clear, honest explanations: I had replaced my brakes myself and asked whether that could have caused the loose caliper pin. They did not simply blame my work. They explained that improper installation was possible, but because the problem showed up more than a month later, it could also have been a random occurrence. They explain car problems in a way I can understand. 1/1 for responsiveness and speed: The loose caliper pin was an immediate concern. Their shop was already full, but they still made time to see my car instead of turning me away. They completed the repair in one day while they had a full shop. 1/1 for transparency: They give an estimate before beginning work and call before taking on additional repairs, so I know what I am approving before the bill arrives. 1/1 for accountability and value: Their prices are a little higher than I would ideally like, but the service and speed make it worth it. As a AAA member, I also received the available AAA discount. I have had to return once for a repair, and they honoured the warranty without making the process difficult. I have been taking my car here for about a year, and Japanese Auto Center has given me the best mechanic-shop service I have experienced. I would recommend them to anyone who wants a shop that communicates clearly, moves quickly, and stands behind its work.

Another Trustworthy Auto Repair Shop…read more I recently started researching some of the best auto repair shops in the South Bay Los Angeles area -- specifically Torrance, Carson, Wilmington, San Pedro, and anywhere within a reasonable distance of Harbor City. Torrance Auto Repair came up in a Reddit discussion recommending some of the better shops in the area, so I decided to give them a try. I brought my car in for an alignment and also asked Jimmy to give me an overall evaluation of the vehicle. From the beginning, he was transparent, helpful, and respectful. After completing the alignment, Jimmy explained what other work my car may need and gave me his recommendations. What I really appreciated was that there was no pressure to spend money right away. He simply let me know what to keep an eye on, encouraged me to stay in touch, and recommended following up when needed. That kind of honesty goes a long way with me. I'm always looking for trustworthy people when it comes to maintaining my car, and Jimmy gave me the confidence that I was getting straightforward advice rather than being pressured into unnecessary repairs. I'll still continue going to Pacific Auto for my tire needs, but I'm happy to have another reliable auto shop for other vehicle services. I'd rather support both businesses based on the specific needs of my car. Transparent service, no pressure, and good communication -- exactly what I want from an auto repair shop.

I, of course, told her that I don't hear anything (wishful thinking on my part). So I take it in to Torrance Motors without an appointment and ask if they could take a quick look at it to verify it is still safe to drive, as we had a long upcoming trip in a few days. They right away put it up on the lift and verified that it was safe to drive. However, the control arm, tie rods and bushings (leaking grease) were shot. Showed me the pictures and it was a mess. This level of repair was not cheap...but it was reasonable. No more complaints from my wife...at least about the car.

The alignment was slightly off at first, but they told me to bring it back and got it dialed in perfectly the following day. They stand behind their work and even told me to come back if anything needed to be re-torqued after the suspension settled. The results came out great. The stance looks much better with the factory rake reduced, and the ride quality still feels smooth and OEM-like. No noises, vibrations, or issues afterward. The vehicle drives straight and handles great. Professional service, quality work, and solid communication throughout the process. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a clean leveling spacer install done right.

After picking up my car I immediately noticed my car was not stopping right and was even than even my squeaking warped original brakes.

I asked the owner what is this and he says it's OEM and I tell him no way the original are akebono brand made in Japan. He gets mad and acts like he's going to kill me with a wrench and later after about of arguing he agrees to redo it but only if he charges me a few hundred more. At this point I'm tired of this crook and just pay him to redo it

We were driving by the shop the other day and my favorite daughter in law said, "I like Romero. He's honest and fair." He proved that when he worked on her Jeep's oil housing repair. He clearly explained the options. You can go with the lower budget plastic housing or upgrade to the metal one that lasts longer and won't crack. That kind of transparency matters. I like doing a lot of my own maintenance, but when you need a pro, Alliance is the place to go. The shop is always willing to fit you in. Whether it's an $80 job or something that costs a few thousand, I've never felt taken advantage of. Great work at fair prices. If you're looking for a reliable, honest shop, give Alliance a try. You won't regret it.
