I did my change oil. It is not expensive compared to other mechanic. I will sure go back to have my change oil done. Very friendly staff.

I was recommended Nippon Automotive by a close family member and I've been taking my vehicle there for service for the past couple of years. I've never looked anywhere else since. Mauricio offers excellent value and explains when your vehicle needs specific service without trying to upsell additional services. He's incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and patient. I trust him for my vehicle service needs and highly recommend him. read more

I have never left a negative review before but the customer service here was so disappointing that I feel that I need to caution other potential customers. The owner was very kind when he initially repaired my car's splash guard and the price was fair considering parts and labor. However, I returned because it came loose 2 months later and I was hoping for an equivalent repair. I was happy with what had been done earlier. I was prepared to pay for service as well, despite the 6 month guarantee on my receipt. As soon as I arrived and explained my problem, seemingly out of nowhere the lady at reception began to berate me about being a bad driver and bumping my car, pointing out unrelated scrapes on my bumper. It was very uncalled for and rude, especially since I hadn't asked for free or discounted service. I hadn't even spoken with the mechanic himself. I understand auto shops may have customers coming in with unreasonable requests, but I had not even made a request before the receptionist started to insult my driving habits. She was essentially accusing me of lying about the part coming loose when I hadn't made any claims about it being the mechanic's fault. I wanted to continue to support this business because I was happy with the service I had been provided initially, but I do not feel comfortable returning after being treated this way. read more

I have a Toyota Corolla 2015 never taking it back to the dealer. Amazing service, Mauricio was highly informative about what I needed. No upselling just straight to the point. Had my suspension and breaks done here and now I come back and get my oil changes and what ever else my car needs IF it needs it. read more

Mauricio is a fair, honest mechanic. Truly a gem and so hard to find. I have taken my car to Mauricio for years now. I highly recommend his shop. read more

Mauricio gives honest advice without being pushy. I've taken multiple Toyota 4Runners to him to keep them running well. Fair prices and excellent service. read more

The Machanics here are great. I've had my car worked on 5 times here and each time I have been happy with their work. I recommend Nippon Automotive! Call a day before you need work on your car to schedule. read more

Excellent service and quality of work. I was given an estimate that was comparable and better than most. When the job was over, it was exactly as estimated. Everyone was very nice and it was a pleasure to talk about the problem on my car. The owner listened very patiently and did not talk over me. -- not the typical fast cursing mechanic mentality. Also - I was very impressed how clean the shop was. Most auto repair shops are very unorganized, - have parts, oil, rags, dirt spread all over the place. Nippon is a very clean and organized. I would highly recommend this place. They specialize in Toyota and other Japanese cars. I'm very selective who I bring my new Toyota to-- so glad I found this place read more

Instead of making money off me, the owner insisted on giving me valuable advice. I was able to fix my car's issues and save money. That shows genuine character and I would definitely recommend this shop to family and friends. read more

Moricio Soo Honest and Reliable! My go to for all Lexus and Toyota service!. Great Quality and price! read more

Mauricio did a great job. As I suspected, the dealership wasn't doing a comprehensive job. Mauricio brought everything up to date. He also purchased a new glove compartment for me, and he installed it in 45 minutes. read more

I had an emergency and needed the starter on my Honda CRV repaired the same day and even a ride back home afterward. I think it was Mauricio who I spoke with but he was incredibly helpful and did everything he could to help me out. Rush ordered the part I needed and was ready for me to drop off the car. Unfortunately for him, I called AAA to jumpstart my car so I could drive it over to Nippon but the technician said it was the battery (which was still under warranty) and not the starter! Had to cancel my appointment with Mauricio and felt terrible after he already ordered the part and everything. Felt I owed him a positive review at least even though he was very gracious about it. I'm definitely going to him for any future car repair needs. read more

Highly recommend Nippon Automotive. Mauricio, the owner is very accommodating, informative, very nice, kind, patient and very helpful. He installed my oil filter and help me with my Windshield Wiper, too. Can't thank him enough since I am really in the bind with time. Even though, he is very busy. He took care of my needs. As a woman, he could have taken advantage of me when it comes to his pricing. I would say, I didn't expect it, but, he gave me a very fair priced. It's priceless. Thank you again, Mauricio for all your help. read more

I have been bringing my Infinity G37s to Mauricio for many years and he never disappoints. He has taken such good care of my car over the years & I am very thankful for his services. Mauricio is an expert in the field & I trust him wholeheartedly with his advice and recommendations. He is a good man and offers reasonable pricing as well - I strongly recommend to any one in need of an excellent mechanic. read more

30 years I have been coming to Nippon Automotive. Best prices Best service. Best people. read more

I been coming to Nippon since 1985 , Mauricio is the most caring and knowledgeable mechanic, very trustworthy, honest and reliable . My family and friends all come to him. read more

Mauricio is a sincere and professional mechanic, but I also got to know him as a very humble, loving family man. It makes me feel good to know him. He did a fantastic job of replacing the broken sway bar on my 2001 Nissan Frontier, and he did it promptly. Thank you, Mauricio! read more

Took my Honda CRV to be evaluated. After two days of keeping the car he gave an estimate for $1300. We refused the estimate and requested the car back. He reused to give us the car and wanted to bill us for $168 for no reason. We had to call the police and threatened to have him arrested for attempting to steal the car. Beware of Nippon automotive. The owner is crooked. read more

I just gave them a called and I asked them for an estimate on brake bleeding and he said what was wrong with the car. I told him I replaced the brake booster and master cylinder and I tried to brake bleed it myself but did not succeed. He tells me something else is wrong with my car so he can't brake bleed my brakes. All I asked was for an estimate for brake bleeding. If they would have done the brake bleed first and nothing has changed with the brake pedal feeling different then before, then he could have said something else is wrong with my car. Guess they don't like money. read more

Been going to Mauricio in the last year and a half and been very happy with his services

My experience with Nippon is always wonderful. I have a mobile notary business and I drive a lot. When I come here, I feel like I have a mechanic that I can trust and gives me a great value for the cost. I would highly recommend this business if you're looking for an affordable and reliable mechanic. read more

I've been taking all my cars to Mauricio since 2005 and he does an amazing job. He's very detailed in explains what the car needs and is very professional, kind, and friendly. He always makes sure to explain what my car needs before working on it. I really appreciate his work ethic that many mechanics don't have. He never lies or embellish the work/price of the services like other mechanics do. He's amazing! read more

Nippon Automotive did a great job on my Lexus ES350. A complete brake job, oil change and tire rotation. They were super busy that day, but were able to finish on time as promised. Happy customer! read more

Great service! Mauricio is great guy and does great works. Friendly and honest staff.

Nippon Automotive was recommended to me when I moved back to the valley five years ago - and what a gem! I've never had to look anywhere else when it comes to car repairs or service. Mauricio is trustworthy, reliable and knowledgeable. I've also recommended others to Nippon and all of us are very happy customers! Keep up the great work! read more

Mauricio is very knowledgeable, kind and trustworthy in servicing Japanese automobiles. In the last year, I have discovered NIPPON Automotive. My Honda Civic has 220K miles and I have visited three times in the last year for regular maintenance, replacing lights, brakes, oil, filters, spark plugs, etc. Mauricio never recommends or try to upsell expensive repairs that I do not need. Call ahead for an appointment; often you can get your car in that day or within the same week. read more

I have been bringing my car here for the last 15 years. I have had no problems with the service. Mauricio owns and does the service himself, he is wholely responsible for his work not like some minimum wage guys at the dealership or jiffy lube. The bozos at the dealership usually leaves after they get some work experience screwing with your car. The work here is always perfect and not overpriced. You should try this place. You will like it! read more

Dude, hands down Mauricio is the mother of all mechanics, his been our family mechanic for generations, we trust no one! His honest, sincere and reasonable on prices, no wonder his clientele is loyal to his business, I highly recommend 100% don't mess around taking chances not worth it We appreciate you Mauricio thanks Jose Rivas read more

Man o Man, what is not good about this place ?This place is the crown jewel of Mechanic shops in the valley. Mauricio is both the great mechanic and honest owner. He's been servicing my 2000 Lexus GS300 with 150,000 thousand miles and still driving better than some of these new modeled cars that are out. He is very honest on his pricing and will not try to throw in any other hidden fees or overprice you on anything. The other Mauricio 2nd mechanic is great as well. Both Men are just very genuine and hard workers. You won't have to wait long to get your car serviced ! Great Place, would recommend to anyone. Mauricio/ Nippon you have my loyalty. Thank you. read more

Mauricio has been my mechanic for 25 years. He is honest and does an incredible job. Nick M.

Nearly 5 PM and I discovered that my Prius is dead as a door nail. I needed to have it towed to a place that can work on it the same night and have it back to me in the morning. I know that the nearby Toyota dealerships are not known for being accommodating. I discovered Nippon automotive by searching on Yelp. Lots of five star reviews for Mauricio. Mauricio answered the phone himself and couldn't be nicer. He promised to wait around until my car was brought in. He even gave me the cell phone number of a tow truck operator that he thought would be able to help. The car got to him around 5:30 PM. He promised that he would have it back to me by 11 the next morning. Sure enough, about 10:45, he called me to let me know that the car was ready. Do not bring your car here expecting discount prices. His prices are comparable to what I would've paid at the dealership. However, I couldn't ask for a more accommodating service experience. I definitely will be using Mauricio again should I run into problems with my Prius. A word of warning. His shop is not located on Reseda Boulevard despite the fact that the address states that it is. To get there you need to turn west off of Reseda on to Hart Street and look at the end of the first driveway on the south side of the street. read more

Nippon Automotive is seriously the best. Mauricio is very helpful and can help take care of your car, even under emergency situations. I drove by his office nearly at closing time because I had a severely cracked windshield and I needed it fixed ASAP because I'm going out of town this weekend. Mauricio made it happen and for an awesome price! I originally brought my Toyota Corolla that I just bought from a friend (had 204,000 miles on it) and I needed to make sure it would last me. Mauricio helped take care of my car, did the best oil change and gave me recommendations on how to keep an older Toyota with a lot of miles running efficiently. This place is known for helping others maintain their cars to last to 300,000, which is my hopes for my Toyota Corolla. Mauricio is helpful, honest, and will help you with any issue your car has. I wholly recommend Nippon Automotive! read more

HUGELY appreciative of this automotive repair business. I did not know where to find an honest and fairly priced mechanic, when a student of mine referred me to Mauricio at Nippon. Come to find out they are also my cat's Veterinarian's long-time mechanic and I trust anyone she recommends too. This business is operated by the owner, Mauricio, and his lovely and kind sister, Angela. They are a team who offers you true honesty, fairness, and kindness. The waiting room is comfortable, clean, and cool. Anything you need is their highest concern, including cookies and candy to make your wait go by pleasureably (time flies when you're having fun), AND your wait for service to be performed is, in fact, speedy. They are available for service with an appointment or in an emergency, and will offer a ride home in those unfortunate "car times" if you need. TRULY, A MECHANIC YOU CAN TRUST! read more

Nothing but great things to say about these folks, from the beginning of my experience to the end. Needed a bit of an emergency diagnosis on my aging sedan this week. Drove to that whole strip of auto shops on Reseda Blvd. and picked Z Technics first. The guy said he was booked for like a week straight. Hopped back in my car and cruised Yelp for a bit more. Found Nippon, saw the consistently stellar reviews (not just on Yelp) and called. "When do you want to come in?" "Uh, I'm pretty much sitting outside your shop. Can do you now?" "Let me take a look outside and see how we're doing... *shuffling* HEY, WE GOT A GUY WHO NEEDS TO COME IN NOW. WILL THAT WORK? ... can you do an hour from now?" "Yeah totally" "Awesome see you then!" So that flexibility was promising. So I come in, receptionist is super nice to me right off the bat, remembers me, tells me to have a seat, scrambles around turning on the AC for me and offering a cold bottle of water. I help myself to a snack sitting there for guests. This place has the vibe of a real family shop which is going extinct. Lots of letters of testimonials from devout customers, a separate poster dedicated just to people's first visit, with their mileage, and then another visit like 10 years later where they've put another 150,000 miles on their car... really earnest stuff. Maybe 20 minutes pass and Mauricio comes out and explains to me very simply what the error code I was getting meant, and says he doesn't repair transmissions, he only replaces them entirely. So, I was sad that he couldn't help me, but then he doesn't hesitate to give me the card for Leon's Transmission, says they're good dudes who'll take care of me. That's where my story picks up after this place. But, he didn't charge me anything! Everyone treated me really decent... if it weren't time for me to replace my car ultimately you can bet that they've earned another devout customer! Bravo. read more

I have been going to Mauricio for about 9 years now and have received nothing but excellent service. I highly recommend Nippon Automotive to anyone looking for a genuinely honest mechanic. read more

Mauricio has been my dad's mechanic for years. I'm very thankful that I finally took my dad's advice and came here. It's been about 3 years and 50,000 or more miles and my car is still running great. My car is over 11 years old now, but Mauricio has literally extended the life of it. He only suggests things that are necessary to fix and he offers the best quality parts for a fair price. I initially came here because of a bad experience at an oil change location. I went in a few times and each time they suggested little things to fix, but the last time was so different. They told me there were about $2,000 of things that "had to be done or else". When I asked to wait a bit so I could save a little money or think about it, they said I should open up a credit card with them. Well needless to say, I never went back (: I went to Mauricio because of being tired of other mechanics always suggesting random things to fix that were perfectly fine. Mauricio is very fair and honest. If there is something to fix, he lets you know how urgent. He doesn't make you feel pressured to fix things. He lets you know all of the facts too. And Norma! She is so nice and a great compliment to the shop. When I come in to Nippon, I'm confident that the best service and prices are being offered. There is never any doubt or uneasiness about coming in. I look forward to coming in and seeing these wonderful people! read more

The service here is fantastic!!! They have trustworthy mechanics. I was able to get my Honda Fit through for two issues and get my car back the same day. The front office assistant was super friendly too. I will come back to this particular location for any other automotive issues in the future. I recommend their service. read more

We are a family with 5 cars at home. Most of them under warranty, however we prefer to bring our cars to Mauricio for routine and general checkups. This team is extremely dedicated and focused on doing a good job. They are always on time and let us know if they find anything out of the ordinary or a potential issue with the car. They call and coordinate if needed. They make sure to ask you if you need or want original/dealer parts, and let you know if re-manufactured parts are trustworthy and reliable for the specific case. I highly recommend Nippon Auto. read more

I have been going here for about 3 to 4 years now. Mauricio always goes above and beyond to take care of my car. I always leave so happy and feel taken care of. I highly recommend him!!! read more

I recommend this place. It is the best for any kind of auto repair and auto service. They are the best known for all import vehicles repairs and all types of auto services. They are open on Saturday by appointment. Top notch and Mauricio is the best and very honest technician. read more
