BEST mechanic in South Bay! We came in on a Sunday at 12:30, and they were closing at 2. Still said no problem and we can get the brake work done in time. Tony, who I believe is the owner, is so sweet and helpful. He explained everything to us and pricing was really fair. Within less than an hour, the work was done. Car is good as new. Thanks Brakes & Tires! (Oh and they do allllll kinds of mechanical work. Not just brakes and tires :-)) We are so happy to find a solid mechanic in the South Bay that won't charge you an arm and a leg!

They say they're open in sundays but I showed up at 9 am and theyre closed. This is a huge inconvenience. I really needed some work done. Guess they missed out on a good $800 job amd any future work. Tough cookies.

Still trying to keep my wife's 2007 Pilot alive (200K+ miles). My wife was complaining about an…read moreoccasional noise she hears in the front end. 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.

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.

As…read moreusual, they do a bumper to bumper and noted that I needed more crucial work, like brake pads and oil change(funny, my husband changed oil and filter two days earlier), spark plugs, etc. came to over $3,000. I took a chance and went in search of a mechanic I can take my Forester to from now on. I discovered Gardena Auto and spoke to Albert. Very knowledgeable and mature. He was so generous with his time over the phone before I even gave him my business. After taking my car there, he quickly got to it and checked off things my car would need aside from fixing the horn. He explained work cited necessary by Subaru that was not needed after he combed through the car himself and which work was needed. Patient in explaining details and the why's and why not certain claimed items needed repair. All in all, I got my car back the next day and paid a fraction of what I would have paid to fix my horn at Subaru! Albert repaired 4 areas for a less than what Subaru was charging for the one horn repair! Also, Subaru charges over 200.00 to do diagnostic in horn. Not refundable if you take elsewhere to be fixed.

Scott at Ace's immediately put my mind at ease and assured me he would take good care of it. During the disassembly, Scott discovered previous damage that had never been reported and had actually been glued together. Instead of overlooking it, he worked with my insurance company to make sure the car was repaired the right way. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. Ace's had me in a rental car the same day I reported the claim, and about a week and a half later my car was ready. I honestly think it looks better than when I bought it. The paint is flawless, the headlights are crystal clear, the alignment is perfect, and the overall finish makes it feel like a brand-new car. I truly appreciate Scott and the entire team at Ace's for their professionalism, excellent communication, and quality workmanship. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs collision repairs.
