First visit they "fixed" the small problem with my car for an expensive price so I assume oh good my car is running perfectly fine again as it has for the past 3 years. Next problem is a corroded wire or something causing my car not to start, I take it here then again they "fix" it for a premium price. Now a couple days after my last visit my car is overheating all of a sudden a problem which has never occurred before with my car before I took it to this repair shop. I would be weary and aware of everything wrong and right with your car before taking here. read more

I called the shop. The guy did not give his name and asked me to drop the car to diagnose it with the caveat they charge 3 hours of labor $450 to give the diagnose prior to work on it. I use my odb2 tool and I already diagnose it. My diagnosis took 10 minutes tops. If you want to be assaulted go ahead take your car to this place read more

Every car repair shop in the nation should be as honest and ethical as this place. Howard, the owner is extremely honest and has very fair pricing. If you drive a Toyota, Lexus, Honda or Acura......there is no better place for out of warranty repairs. It is worth it to drive one of these brands just to come here. Look at their rating!!!! For a car repair shop. Incredible!! read more

I called today because a good friend of mine gets his car fixed there. I have never been but I had a tiny repair that everyone else was going to make me wait three hours to get done. My brake lights on my 2011 Crosstour wouldn't turn off. The little pad fell out that goes in the break pedal to keep the light from staying on. When I called on the phone, the guy was so nice AND he knew exactly what I was talking about. He told me just come by... thats a quick fix and one of his guys can fix it in a few minutes. (I had the part too) Great Customer Service! You have a long time friend and fan now and I will bring all my repairs to Jap Tech instead of going to the big guys who you can't always trust. read more

Great service. Reliable. No surprises. These are the best things I can say about auto repair places.

Just had a Millercat brand catalyst shield masterfuly installed on my 2009 Honda Element by Howard at Japtech in Pembroke Pines, FL. It required a special rivet tool, so I would not recommend doing it yourself. Howard made it look like a factory installation. Many thanks to Howard !

I have been taking my Acura to this shop for years now and the work they do is average for what they charge. On my last service I asked to replace front brake pads only however the pads and discs were replace even if i did not authorize the discs. Now, several hundred dollars later the car has refurbish discs (not new and they look used to me). Never got my old rusted discs back - you draw your own conclusions. UPDATE 4/4/24 The work done for $575.00 did not fix the problem now we were talking, pads and Howard came clean saying this time we put new rotors - I thought I already paid for them on the first visit - you draw your own conclusions - I'm done with this place - BEWARE read more

My father brought our 2012 Yaris to Jap Tech this past Friday morning. We've had a suspension issue where it was eating up the tires. Jap Tech not only looked And checked it out in a timely manner but they were also super honest. They didn't try to take advantage of us or anything. They told us the problem and referred us to a trusted place we can go to to get the vehicle aligned. They charged us a reasonable fee to troubleshoot the problem and also did a complete inspection of the vehicle and told us it was in great shape mechanically for a 10 year old car. Because of their honesty and being straightforward with us about our car's problem. we will definitely do business with them again and recommend them to others as well. read more

My Toyota was unfixable by several dealerships. They could not figure out the issue and did not really spend much time trying to troubleshoot my problem. I brought it to Jap tech and they listened to my feedback and were able to narrow the brake slapping sound to an issue with the wheel hub. They also recharged the ac and tested for leaks. The price for the maintenance was reasonable and I will be recommending Jap Tech to family and friends. Thanks, Howard! read more

This guys get the work done period. George, Howard and the whole team work their best on delivering excellent customer service. No ridiculous waiting at all, I bring my work car (04 Honda Element) for quick oil change even for an extra spare key which they can also do- dope spot! read more

Met Howard about 40 years ago. I had just left the local Honda dealer who said my cruise control would cost 350 to fix. Saw Howard's on the way home stopped in for a oil change just mentioned what the Honda dealer said. Howard disappeared from the cash register next thing I see he's under my steering wheel on the floor board comes back in and said the cruise controls all set. He said it had a set screw that was loose no charge. He's been my mechanic ever since. He now repairs my kids cars. We moved to Georgia for a 6 years and still brought our cars to Howard for all major tune ups and repairs. Never check his price or worry if I'm getting a fair deal. He'll let you know if it can wait or needs attention now. read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE, price , trusting family in charge of all Japanese cars. Make sure you enroll in their reward program . If late , you can bring car to garage filling out information on envelope and dropping key for them to start working next working day. They did NOT open on Saturdays, but still great place to bring your Toyota Honda Lexus Accord. read more

Found them to be a very honest shop. At another shop, I was told to replace parts and was quoted a high fee. I got a second opinion from Jap Tech. They were very knowledgeable, found that I didn't need to replace the parts the other shop recommended, and they fixed another underlying issue I'd had for a year for a third of the price the other shop quoted. They worked quickly and were patient in answering all my questions. I will be coming back and will recommend them to everyone. read more

I own a Lexus and once my warranty was up, I have been bringing my car here for the scheduled service. George and Howard are very professional, nice, honest and they go through every issue with you, in language you understand. Their pricing is very fair and they are very reliable. I highly recommend Jap Tech for all your Jap car needs. read more

Been coming here for years.. I first found this place when the dealer wanted to charge me $355 for a power steering pump and the guys at JapTech said it would only cost me $35 dollars for a new seal!! I could go on and on of the money saved and honest advice they always give me. Howard, George and Orlando are always great. Finding honest reasonable mechanics are very hard to find and trust me you'll be happy with the folks at JapTech read more

I've been coming here for about 4 years after being recommended by a friend and I am so thankful to have been referred here. They are the most trustworthy mechanic I have ever been to and their prices are extremely fair. I'm a mom of 4 so money is tight and this place is always the best deal I can find. They also have a rewards program so you get points for every $ spent and you can decide whether to save it to let it build up over time or use it the next time for a discount. They keep it real when they give recommendations and tell you what is urgent for safety versus what could wait until I'm ready to spend the money. To top it off, they have a nice seating area inside with a TV, free WiFi, and even a rolling office desk so I can still get my work done comfortably while I wait for my car to be worked on. I highly recommend this place. read more

Jap Tech - Waiting area - free WiFi, rolling work desk, TV - Auto Repair Near Me - Pembroke Pines, Florida

Jap Tech is officially my new mechanic! I found this place after getting what seemed like an awfully high estimate for my car(2010 honda)problem at Rick Case honda. Soo happy I found Jap Tech!! I paid about $140 to fix something Rick case had the nerve to quote me $800 to fix! George and Howard are super friendly and polite! George did an excellent job explaining what my car needed, and the purpose of the part in the car. Very honest shop, you definitely can tell as soon as you speak with them. Also, the waiting area was comfortable and there is internet, so I was able to get some work done on my laptop while I waited for my car. I 100% recommend Jap Tech to Everyone looking for an honest, reasonably priced mechanic!!! read more

- [ ] I been coming here for many years and it was about time I wrote a review. I'm glad I was recommended by a friend to come to Jap Tech. Howard, George and the whole team are all true professionals and knowledgeable when it comes to servicing my fourth generation 09 Acura TL. I had years servicing my Acura at a local Acura dealership down the road. I was tired of getting over charged on services I didn't needed. I'm glad that I made the change. I've only had a few minor issues with my Acura, but Howard & the team have always resolved all my cars issues every time I stop bye or gotten all my oil changes there. Howard and his team are 100% proven honest mechanics. His always fair as far as pricing goes also. They don't just service Acura's they service Honda's and Toyota's also. They have always taken care of all my Acura's issues and provide excellent customer service. It's hard to find a honest reliable Mechanic shop in South Florida but Jap Tech is one of the Honest auto mechanic shops around. I highly recommend anyone looking for a honest reliable trustworthy mechanic shop to get there car services with them. Thank you Howard & the whole team. - [ ] read more

We have had both Toyota's and Honda's and have been going to Jap Tech for many, many years. They are simply the very best in the business. They are fast, reliable, honest and fairly priced. We wouldn't take our cars anywhere else. You can't go wrong here. read more

Affordable, excellent and trustworthy service. Howard,George and the team are Honda and Toyota experts. I've been a customer for almost 20 years and I'm always satisfied with the service provided. They keep my cars in tip top shape so that I get the most out of them! Thanks JapTech!!! read more

I have a 2006 Acura RSX with only 87,000 miles. These days I only drive about 1000 miles a year. I had the oil changed 12 months ago and Rick Case told me that I needed to change the rear brakes on the next trip. I decided to go to Jap Tech after doing a lot of internet research and the reviews were correct! Howard and George are as honest as you can get. George came back into the waiting area and showed me the calibrations for both the front and rear brakes and said they were fine. He also said that my oil is perfect and doesn't need to be changed even though it's been a year. They charged me $49.50 for a full vehicle inspection and topped off the fluids. Most people would take advantage of a service request even if it weren't needed and go ahead and perform it, not these guys. I will be sure to spread the word, because honesty is priceless! read more

Excellent customer service with high levels of professionalism and Integrity. Shout out to George who is very knowledgeable and honest. This shop is very accommodating and able to finish the job within the promised time frame. Highly recommended specialists and would definitely make it my go to shop. Thanks again. Bryan G. read more

The professionalism of Howard and his team is 2nd to none. I am a 2nd generation Jap Tech customer. I would not trust anyone else with my Hondas. Thank you Howard, George, and everyone else for the great job you do. read more

I drive a 2008 Honda Accord & it runs like the wind thanks to the team here! Call me personally and I will advocate on their behalf ! 954-303-1942! My experiences are too great to text !!!! read more

I have been coming to Jap-Tech for almost 25 years. I have always been happy with the work Howard and his staff perform. My family has 6 Hondas and this is were we service. They are not cheap but Howard is honest, and does not try to up-sell you needless services like the dealerships. They charge a fair price for what they do and stand behind there work. I had a starter replaced and a few months later the new Honda starter died, called Howard , got towed in and they fixed it ,no problem, no charge or bs , Howard just took care of it. This piece of mind is worth a lot, with Jap-Tech you deal with an owner not some corporate dealership that just wants to maximize profits on every transaction. read more

Just as most of the others said, these guys are honest. Bought my girlfriend a CRV that had some codes showing. Took it in and asked Howard to go through it. He explained everything in order of urgentness and fixed what we could afford at the time. He even showed me a hose that was deteriorating that I could fix myself. I'm glad they are close by. read more

Sorry Yelpies buttttt I beg to differ. I came here to fix my AC, because let's face it it's south florida and we can't survive 20 mins without it. Well my family has been coming here for years (probably more than 8 years) so when my AC broke my dad suggested to bring it here. To begin with, yes Orlando is extremely nice and helpful and they do fix your car but the reason I am giving them two stars is pricing. Just to check what was wrong with my car I had to pay $50 and by checking what was wrong I mean they put colored water in my AC unit and just look for leaks. BOOM! $50 bucks for that. Fine turns out I needed a new compressor, crap! What's the damage?! $1,040 (ball park) my heart freaking dropped, my dad explained to me that yes usually to fix and order a new compressor it could cost that much. I refused to believe that and made a phone call to a well connected friend. Long story short I got my whole AC compressor, in a different shop, brand new out of the box installed for $485!!!! That is less than freaking half!!! Granted, you will probably not find the price I paid because I did have a great connection or "hook up" as the kids call it these days, but that just comes to prove that the cost of labor here is jacked up! I was able to see what the actual part cost and noticed that the price of labor alone was about $600. That's A LOT. So in the end of the day Orlando is awesome, they will find and fix the problem but before you sign any papers shop around. P.s- two people told me that their mechanics don't charge to find the problem, even the guy who did end up fixing my car told me that's not right he would have told me that I needed a new compressor for free. So I lost 50 bucks. read more

I never feel like I'm getting fucked over. If there's a problem they explain it to me and tell me if it's worth fixing and if I can wait and then monitor it for me. read more

Jap tech has worked on my car-z twice now and I am very happy with the service. They do an excellent job at a reasonable price.

This place is awesome. I brought my 2010 Acura Tl there because it wasn't shifting as smooth as it use to, and it felt somewhat sluggish. Orlando took it for a test drive (I was in the car with him while he drove) and said the car was driving the way it suppose to, it shifted through all it gears. He said my car was fine (this was music to my ear) but he'll check my transmission fluid to see whether it require some attention. He came back to me and showed me how dirty my transmission fluid was. He said he recommended that I change my transmission fluid. I agreed. I asked him are they using Honda/Acura ATF Dw-1 fluid and he said yes, then proceeded to the back where he grab a bottle to show me what's going in my car.....indeed they had a full stock of Honda/Acura ATF DW-1 fluid. The service took about an hour (that's including the road test as well). When I drove my car I immediately notice a difference. It's so smooth now again. Holy crap, who would of knew that a dirty transmission fluid would affect the way the car drives. I baby my car, and get every require maintenance, so I don't know how I miss this one. Jap Tech is amazing. Their customer service skills is A+. I highly recommend this company. read more

Honest, on time, and knowledgeable. Try and find all three in a automobile repair, and maintenance facility in South Florida. They will have my business as long as they remain under the current management. read more

I've gone to Jap Tech regularly over the past 6 years for my 2004 Acura TL and now my 2014 Honda Accord. Howard and his shop have always treated me well, have never pressured me into paying for anything, and their pricing has always been fair, especially considering they have all genuine Honda parts. . After being told I needed to replace my power steering pump for upwards of $300, I took my TL to Howard and he found the problem was actually a loose bolt and fixed it for $10. I even went into his shop ready to pay for a repair i thought I needed and Howard advised me it wasn't necessary and I walked out of his shop without spending a dime, a situation very rare to find in this industry. I would recommend Jap Tech to anyone in a heartbeat. read more

As a college student I recommend this place. Howard always tells me what I should fix depending on my budget and it really helps me out in the long run. All parts are genuine and last. The customer service there is always up to par and makes you feel right at home while you wait for your vehicle to be fixed. #1 place for Hondas/Acuras instead of those dealerships that just drain you of your money for issues they do not fix just so you can be back with the same issue 2 weeks later. read more

My Husband and I have been using Jap Tech for over 30 years. Howard is the most detailed and honest mechanic I have ever known. He has always taken care of all our cars. We only buy Honda's so that we can ensure that they are taken care of. Howard genuinely cares for his customers. He at one time helped us in a pinch when my daughters engine blew right before her wedding he helped us find a rebuilt engine and installed it for us for the cost of the engine only. He has known my girls since before they were born and endured lots of time in his shop with smashed fingers and loud screaming. He is basically part of the family, we call him for everything. I moved to Georgia for 6 years and I would always drive a 10 hour drive just to bring my cars in to Howard for service so that I knew it was done with care and precision. George is a big part of Howards staff and when Howard is not available he is the best at filling the big preverbal shoes of Howard. He cares as much for the customers as Howard and makes sure that things are perfect for you. Thanks so much for all the love and care you give our family through the care of our vehicles to ensure that my family is always safe and never stranded. Tina Anderson read more

Howard and his team are stars... But what makes JapTech great is the fact that everyone is a car fan. And they know that cars break down and can be sometimes costly to repair. I've been going there ever since Rick Case Honda forgot to seal properly the oil filter in my car resulting in the filter popping out in the middle of I-95. Love their rewards. Hoping that one day Howard opens on weekends! read more
