I got my brakes serviced. Just the front pads & rear shoes. I payed a fair price. Less than what another tire shop wanted to charge me. I provided the mechanic, Jesus with the front boots & rear hardware just in case if they were worn out. After he finished the brake job, he gave them back to me & told me the ones on there are still good. He could have easily lied & kept my boots & hardware but he didn't. That shows honesty. No free wifi like other reviews were saying though. everything looks organized & clean. I really appreciate a clean, well organized garage. The service was good, fast, & because I payed a fair price along with Jesus being honest, I will definitely be back here. read more

Most honest and transparent mechanic shop in Miami. They know what they're doing and what they're saying. More than reasonable pricing for the turnaround of the work. Highly recommend. read more

I look my 2016 RX 350 there for service. They did a nice job at a fair price. They have a nice waiting room with WiFi so I was able to wait for my service and knock out some work read more

The service I've always received at This mechanic shop is so good, that I now drive 45 mins to fix my car here because there's no one else I trust more. The service is reliable and the owner always tells you exactly what you need to do, and how much it will cost. He has never added any extra stuff that wasn't needed, or overcharged for his services. Hands down the most trust worthy mechanic in Miami. read more

Good small business. I only had some basic maintenance done on my Nissan, but the owner was friendly and courteous.

Story of my life, well on early Tuesday morning, I was coming out of my driveway and did not see the garbage can that my son misplaced on the street. The next thing I know, I saw my passenger side mirror dangling, what a freaking way to start my morning. I managed to find some tape inside my house and kind of fix it till I can call around to see the cost of this passenger side mirror for my 2015 Honda Crv-Ex. I called around to a lot of local Honda dealers and everyone was giving me a $400 and some change, just because it has a camera aka lane assist. When I called my dealer, (Auto nation Honda Miami Lakes) I almost had a heart attack with the cost of the part and labor almost $800. I went on Yelp and came across Japanese Auto Tech. I advised him of the situation with the mirror and their tech (Jesus) told me he will return my call once he has the cost of everything he needed for my car. I immediately got off of work, went home and changed. I received a call from Jesus, pretty much the cost of the mirror and $90 to install it. I told him okay, and while my car is there go ahead and do my oil change because it was long overdue. Jesus gave me a call Wednesday mid-day and advised me the part had arrived. I told him I would be there first thing in the morning. I dropped off my car and within the hour my car was ready, (didn't expect such speedy service) but while doing the oil change he noticed my rear brakes were going bad. (When it rains it pours.) I asked him for the cost and the price seemed somewhat reasonable and instructed to go ahead with the job. He called me back within the hour and advised my car was ready. Now here's the part where I'm a little upset, he is like we have a little situation, the thing with your particular car and newer Honda is that the cameras need reprogramming. We do not have the equipment to do that, but I have a tech who can take care of the situation for you. My nerves got really bad because I didn't want to hear this crazy outrageous price. I'm saying to myself, I could've taken it to the dealer in the first place. Well after talking to the tech, I was able to program my camera and a very reasonable rate. Now, I kept my cost down, and very happy with my end results. I'm really appreciative of Japanese Auto Tech and their service. read more

Japanese Auto Tech - Before - Auto Repair Near Me - Miami, Florida

My husband and I have brought our cars here to get the windows tinted, and they've done a fantastic job. Since we live nearby, we either drop off the vehicle if they're busy or if it's been a slower day for them, we wait, and they're done pretty quickly. So far, we're delighted with the service we've gotten and will be coming back and recommending it to others. read more

I hadn't washed my car since I purchased it, 4 months prior. And this was during rainy, threat-of-hurricanes-looming season, so my white whale was practically grey. Plus, I had un-strategically parked under many trees, so the sap and bird crap was an art form. The brave men of Japanese Auto Tech waved me into the car washing port when I arrived at 8am in the morning, and had it spic and span (inside and out) by the time I had to get to work. All for $12 and a generous tip. I will be coming back. Eventually. read more

Excellent mechanics! Honest, professional and knowledgeable! Have been using them for over 20 years! Never let me down! Fully trust them! read more

Please don't go to this workshop. Those people never found the problems in my vehicle. They don't like inspect the vehicle properly. My car was with the head gasket leaking with lot of vibration in engine idle low rpm, they never fix my car because they never knew what is going on. They charge for inspection but be careful because they have not the right tools to do a properly inspection right well. Please think twice if you want to repair your vehicle in this workshop. Honestly guys I was there and my vehicle was in good chape before they touch my car. After that my car was in a very bad moment read more

This is a great place to wash your car. They do a great job with detail. Price for inside and out wash is $12.00. Very responsible people working here. read more

Japanese Auto Tech - Typical BUSY Saturday! - Auto Repair Near Me - Miami, Florida

I'm new to the Miami area and have had my 99' Civic serviced 3 times at Japanese Auto Tech over the past 6 months. -First visit: I had a rattling sound for weeks when my car sat idle. It ended up being the catalytic converter shield, which they removed free of charge. I offered to tip for the service because I was so grateful it wasn't something more serious and I was shocked that they did it for free and super fast. -Second visit: The engine was making a super loud (and embarrassing) screech when I accelerated. They ended up replacing and servicing the engine belts-for a very reasonable price and very quick service. -Third visit: Went for a general checkup. Was informed that brake pads and disks will need to be replaced within the next 3-4 months but no immediate repairs were needed. Again they did not charge me anything, but asked that I return when I'm ready for the bigger repair. (Which I certainly will) The other customers I've met while in the waiting room have been going to Japanese Auto Tech for years (which generally is a positive sign with mechanics). I find it logical and refreshing when a business understands giving a fair service and rate for small repairs. In turn, a customer is more likely to recommend their service (as I have) and return for the "big investment repairs." Thanks for your transparency and honest approach! read more

They left my car looking and feeling brand new! Totally suggest getting a full detailing, those guys know how to take care of you!

I needed to get some major work done on my car, so I did a little research and ended up at this place. I got it in at 8am and they were done by three in the afternoon. The work was well done and the prices were very fair. They use all original parts from the manufacturer and don't seem to cut corners. This is one of those rare businesses where the owner seems to believe in building a reputation of fair and honest business practices. To be perfectly honest, it's refreshing to see. I highly recommend them. -The 4 rather than 5 stars comes from the fact that I'm not sufficiently car savvy to absolutely know the quality of the work, but it's been a couple months and the car is running really well, so it looks good. read more

My grandparents have been long time customers of Japanese Auto Tech and when it was time get my husband's Honda Accord serviced for 100k miles and my Honda Civic serviced for 30k, they suggested this place. WOW! I went in on Thursday to just figure out what type of service was needed for my husband's car as well as mine. Jose very thoroughly explained what was needed to me, and was more than patient with me when it was clear I had no clue how many cylinders my engine had. We dropped my husband's car off yesterday morning at 8am, in addition to the 100k mile service ($299, including spark plugs), he wanted the AC charged ($75), since it was not holding up to Miami summer hear. However, it turns out the AC did not charging but rather needed an AC hose replaced and some Freon added...the shop down sold us! They told us forget the $75 service, you just need a $45 hose (parts & labor) instead. It was really refreshing to get honest answers from an car mechanic. Also, the staff members spoke great English, which given the location, is an accomplishment in itself. A word on pricing...for my 2009 Honda Civic Brickell Motors wanted to charge me $490 for the 30k mile service, at Japanese Auto Tech the same service costs $219. Overall: HIGHLY recommended and I am very picky when it comes to the service industry. read more

I have taken all of my cars to Japanese auto for years. This is the ONLY shop I trust with my car. The owner is honest, and cares about his customers. As a woman, I feel safe and respected when entering the shop! A lot of times mechanic shops will have posters of naked women, and as a woman, it can be a bit awkward...NOT here, you would think you walked into an attorney's office. The office is clean, and instead of seeing calendars with naked women, you see family pictures, refreshing.:) I came in with what I thought were "huge" problems, and it turns out it was a few coils... The owner is actually happy to communicate the good news to me. I can't say enough about the level of professionalism and service here! Don't take your car anywhere else! Thank me later.:) read more

Not my first visit, nor my last,,,, trustworthy, fast work and very honest about repairs. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

From the moment you walk in nothing but a great expirience. The guys really know what they are talking about. Took my 2010 Honda civic to get serviced and left very satisfied. Great prices and great service. They also have a car wash I'd like to try out. Highly recomend this place! read more

My husband and I have taken our cars to Japanese Auto Tech for over 10 years. Ihosvany the owner is reliable, his work is always guaranteed, his prices are fair, and his employees are incredibly personable and knowledgeable. He is ALWAYS realistic about the time work takes and more often than not, calls with the car ready BEFORE his estimated time. I highly recommend this car shop. read more

Ok everyone I am very picky when it comes to servicing my car. I have a 2010 TL Acura and I have always taken it to Acura for service issues. But, the prices in Acura have become extremely over priced for service/labor/parts. So now I'll take my car to Acura to get an oil change and a prognostics done on my car. When I know what is wrong I come to this Mechanic. They are very serious/honest/hardworking people. I trust my car to this shop I have done two services so far. My wheel bearings and my alignment/rotation. The next one will be having new tires installed in my car. read more

In this world, you get what you pay for. Japanese Auto Tech has fair pricing and even better service. Giovanni and his team redefines "integrity" in the auto world. They've always been honest with me, are all about quality, and fast. My car was towed to them yesterday at 4:30 pm. I was told the starter would be replaced the next day by noon. At 9:30 am I got a phone call saying the car is ready and recommends not investing much money into the car because it's not worth it- there's too many things to repair. I can assure you most shops in Miami would never be so honest and would push as many repairs as they could get. That's service and attention I can trust and be a loyal to. Japanese Auto Tech you're a class act. Thank you. read more

They did a wonderful job - efficient, knowledgeable, and timely. They gave reliable estimates on time and cost and were a pleasure to work with. The car wash next door is an added bonus and they did an amazing job. My car looks and feels brand new! read more

Great pricing. Great service. Being a woman, you are always worried that you will get ripped off at a mechanic. This company makes you feel very reassured. Will keep coming. read more

No matter what you do, avoid this place at all cost! I took my Honda Accord 2009 there for an engine problem. The engine light would come on and I had trouble starting the car. Originally they told me they would charge me $500 to fix the problem, but when I showed up they had lowered the price to $350. That was a nice surprise! Things went downhill fro there, I drove the car home only to have the SAME light and SAME engine problem come back within a few minutes of driving. In other words, whatever they DID do on the car (if anything at all) did NOT fix the problem whatsoever. I had to bring it to Brickell Honda to have it fixed in the end. Turns out it was a problem with the battery. Brickell Honda changed the battery and the car's been running smoothly ever since. I called Japanese Auto Tech to tell them that the work they did on the car didn't solve anything, but they dismissed anything I had to say. So basically I got scammed out of $350 by Japanese Auto Tech. Do they not realize that people will leave bad reviews on Yelp if they get bad service?? Not only did I receive bad service, I pretty much got scammed, i.e. I paid for a "service" which did not fix my car. read more

This is the address for the Car Wash I go to on the weekends- The. Best. Car. Wash. I'm not sure what the car wash is called, but it has to be the best one ever. For $12 they wash my crossover inside and out like no other car wash. I definitely recommend this place to anyone on this side of town. The wait is a bit long, but we drop off our cars and go have breakfast. read more

I have a super hard time trusting mechanics. And trying to trust a mechanic in Miami is a hundred times harder. I put mechanics right up there with lawyers and politicians on the trustworthiness scale. That being said these guys do a great job and have never given me any reason to not trust them. This shop was right next to my old office, but even though they're far from my new office I'll make the trip to come back. read more

The main mechanic at this shop was courteous and began inspecting my car almost immediately after I dropped off my civic. I had some major oil leaks throughout the engine and he called me within a couple of hours to explain what he found and what kinds of repairs he beleived were necessary. Standard service from most mechanics but he actually worked on my car right away and had it ready a couple of hours later and even waitied for me to arrive at his usual closing time to pick it up. He was very courteous, even took the time to show me the parts he changed in the engine and how to clean up the rest of the mess from the oil leaking. Most importantly, the work he did was just what the car needed and I haven't seen any more oil spots on my garage floor. Definitely a hardworking mechanic running a family owned shop. Easy to talk to, fair on the prices (I had compared with 2 other mechanics including the dealer), and has earned a returning customer. I easily recommend Japanese Auto Tech. read more

Came here on a whim while running errands to get a basic wash inside & out for my camry hybrid. Took about 40 mins for a hand car wash (a bit long) but they left it looking and feeling brand new! Only $15! I gave a $5 tip because the price was so low and the job was excellent. Wheels were shiny, windows were spotless and all the interior was clean. They have won my business! read more

We had a 2000 Honda Odyssey that we took here for many years. That car had been through hell and back, and they always took care of us here. They were always honest about the work that needed to be done, about anything we could do to save money and any bargains they could get on parts. Customer service is more than decent, and any time a previously repaired part failed, they were quick to replace it for free and as a high priority to minimize the inconvenience. It's not easy to find a quality mechanic/repair shop, I highly recommend them! read more

Replaced drivers side wheel bearing. Good price, as quoted. Quick and friendly service. Recommend.

Honest, Quick, Affordable. Great deal on oil changes, and car washes. They have been able to give me same day service both times I went there and had my truck fixed in hours. Highly recommended. read more

I have been taking my car here for over ten years. This is the best garage in Miami. Always friendly, always clean and a good price.

Best service ever! I've been a client for years! The owner is a great and friendly gentleman who is honest and hard working. I never had any hint of dishonesty or being scammed by this mechanic. I always recommend him to people I like. read more

The most honest, reliable and professional Japanese auto shop in Miami. We've had our Honda Accord serviced here for many, many years and diagnosis and repairs are always dead-on and properly repaired. Thank you guys! read more

My son was driving back to Chicago from Key West and needed a reliable repair. He had his Honda Accord looked at and serviced by two other shops on his trip and they could not find the problem and repair properly. I called Japanese Auto Tech on Thursday night and told Jose about our problem. He told me to have my son come by at 8 am Friday morning and he would help us out. They were able to diagnose the problem right away(needed both front axles replaced) and get him back on the road by noon. Great service and repairs, very reasonable pricing. Thank you guys for all your help. Would highly recommend this shop. read more

By far the best auto mechanic I have ever been to. The shop is clean and well-maintained, which says a lot about how other business is handled. The proprietor is honest, explains what is necessary and is always willing to show you exactly what and why he is making a repair. I referred every one I knew in Miami to J.A.T. read more

After having a terrible experience at Nissan Service Center, was more than relieved when a friend recommended this place! I experienced great service and will definitely return in the future! read more

I regularly used the services of Ihosvany and his team at Japanese Auto Tech during the ten years I lived in Miami. I rarely write reviews, but felt inclined to do so this time because the services and work offered at this place are truly exceptional. Ihosvany is extremely professional: honest, courteous. direct, and very communicative. He explains in detail the service needed, is upfront about the cost and time needed, and communicates throughout the repair process. Having left Miami, I really dread having to find a new reliable mechanic. Thanks for your great service over the course of a decade, Ihosvany. read more
