Awesome service! Bob and the crew is super friendly and communicated very thoroughly with updates about the car! Price is affordable too! Highly recommend :) Thanks guys! read more

Over charged for a rushed incomplete job reached out was told my concerns would be checked out never heard back I don't recommend unless your car is valued by them then you might get top notch work read more

Got referred to this shop to replace the master and power booster on 65 Chevy C10. The person I was referred wasn't around, I think it may have been Shawn but I'm not sure. So they send out this kid instead that looks to be about 20 years old. His name was Dusty. So I introduced Dusty to my truck and explained to him what I wanted in detail. He proceeds to upsale me and tells me I need a double diaphragm booster. He tells me it's good stuff and about $750. I said that's not what I want, but he wasn't listening. Working on classic vehicles can run up the bill if you don't keep control of what the shop is allowed to do on thier own. I asked for a ball park estimate within 10 % or so for parts and labor. He tells me that we'd reserve 10 hours @ $150 an hour. And if it takes less they would charge accordingly. Plus $750 for double diaphragm brake booster/ reservoir. Ok the power booster/reservoir I want is about $300. And three hours labor tops is $150. $450 is pretty much on target. But here's Dusty telling me like $2250. I asked for a detailed estimate to sent to me by email or text. This was three weeks ago. Never came and i don't chase people to do thier job. Major major upsale here. Be careful with this shop. read more

Sean & Company took in my 86 Square Body Truck to diagnose some fuel delivery problems I had. Ended up replacing the carburetor and fixed the problem. Communication was awesome, I got a call each time they found significant issues. My truck never ran that good before so needless to say I'm very happy with the work. Highly recommend this shop, would trust them with any car, any level of work desired. read more

See all

Update to previous review. My non op car is now up and running really good. Sean recommended that I begin to drive the car before I install parts I might need. I was willing to replace the parts but Sean explained that I may not need them. How many repair shops tell you you may not need something repaired. The one thing that really surprised me was a call from Sean to see that the car was running right and that I got home safely. All of my vehicles will be going here for service. THIS IS A REPAIR SHOP YOU CAN TRUST read more

Best guys for motor,custom project , and generally knows everything about all things cars! Shawn has helped me on so many different projects and car issues. Best guy in business! read more

Such an Awesome guy and company ! Top notch for sure ! He knows what he is doing and does it well ! Super honest and easy to work with . He is a great problem solver and those are super hard to find now a days . read more

I was floored at how much less they are charging me than the dealership service center, plus they seem much more knowledgeable. The repair my poor Honda needed is complicated, but they are already done (2 business days!) and are giving me a year warranty on the work. The dealership gave me an identical diagnosis but wanted triple the price with NO warranty. Plus the people here are kind and helpful, explaining things and not treating me (a single woman) with typical car-place attitude. Kudos! read more

Absolutely FANTASTIC service!!!! I called several places for a quote for a new starter on my Honda Pilot. The quote I received from Japanese Auto Specialty was $400 lower than the dealership, and $200-$250 less than the other repair shops. Thanks to their thorough inspection, it turned out to be the relay and not the starter (only $175!). I'm so glad I found a great place to take care of my car! Great and Efficient service at a reasonable price! read more

This place overall got the job "done", but I won't be coming back. After having them replace a clutch in my vehicle my reverse lights were stuck on in every gear minus reverse. After multiple days of him saying he'll get around to fixing it, I decided I'll just fix the problem myself. I understand the man is busy, but If you can't handle the work load hire more employees! There are two employees total! Anyways, after getting the vehicle in the air, he had all the wiring strung above the transmission and the brackets just hanging. With the wiring strung that way, he just plugged in whatever could reach. I had to completely re-route the wiring in the proper manner, and bam.. all the wiring, plugs, and mounting brackets all reached! Overall, the car runs and works properly now, but I didn't pay $850 to end up laying under my car to finish the job. read more

I also recently moved to town and had some overheating problems with my Accord. I could have made a trip to my old mechanic but since the reviews for JAS were so good, I saved myself over 2 hours round trip freeway time plus gas! My car had this problem when I'd be driving slow or sitting at a light (especially on a hot day) and my air conditioning would start to blow warm air and my temp. gauge would start climbing fast! I talked with Bob on the phone and he mentioned a couple of things he would need to check so I made an appointment. Dropped my car off and got a call later what it needed and what it would cost. The repairs were done before the end of the day. I had another problem which only happens once in a while. Bob asked if I wanted him to keep the car over night and see if he could try to make the car stall like it has done for me so I said sure, let's do that. My Honda didn't do for Bob what it does for me once in a blue moon but no worries, my new radiator fan is keeping my engine from overheating and my A/C is as cold as ever, even when I'm just idling at a stop light. If and when my other problem pops up, JAS will be my go-to guys to figure it out. read more

These people are very honest and get all work done expeditiously. The owners are friends of my father and have helped us many times throughout the years. Very nice people and very helpful!! Most definitely the place to go if you are in need of any work or maintenance on your car!!! read more

Took my Tacoma in for a catalytic converter. I'll be returning, and will now bring my other vehicles to them. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, honest, and reasonably priced mechanic, this is the place. read more

Very honest repair shop! They couldn't fix my car problem but sent me to Audio Evolution that could. And much better than being told from Toyota dealership in Temecula I could pay 1300 for a maybe fix. read more

My family & I have been going to JAS for the last 10-12 years. I will let NO ONE but Bob and his crew touch my cars! Once he told me he thought they were moving out of state and we all freaked - Luckily they decided to stay and all is still good! They have the best customer Service, Best prices and you can't beat how fast the turn around time is with work. When the time comes to purchase a car - I always Consult with Bob & Vikki for their opinion! Mark is the other mechanic there and is such an amazing partner - he fits the team perfectly. To be selfish I wish they were open on the weekends - But since I believe in supporting my local businesses - I will let them have their weekend. :) read more

Awesome place, the owner checked out my subaru that I intended to buy for way less than he quoted me. Waaaay less. Will definitely be going back. read more

I am so glad I found a shop that does great work for a fair price. I took in my '02 Yukon that had 250000+ miles on it for a few things on different occasions and I always had a good experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone I know. read more

Finally and honest and legit auto mechanic. I recommend them to anyone. I was quoted much higher and was lied to from Toyota in Temecula about replacement parts. I found them and saved a lot of money on unnecessary repairs. Thanks! read more

Best place ever to bring your vehicle. Excellent work, thorough and no nonsense. And, it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. I will be bringing all of my vehicles here from now on. read more

2 Things you never let go of are a great babysitter, and a great mechanic. Japanese Auto will take care of the latter. My husband I & have been bringing our cars here for over 10 years. I will go no where else. I would rather pay extended towing fees than go to another shop. Bob is superb at what he does. Both He and Vicki are honest hardworking people who really care about their customers. read more

Great mechanics, very easy going - They definitely charge fair prices and have been flexible about dropping off my car. So happy to have finally found a reliable mechanic! read more

Just moved to town recently with my Mitsubishi Ralliart and am sooooo grateful to have found such an Awesome shop! Bob and his crew are not only pros at what they do but are also the most honest and nicest people you'll ever meet! Their prices are More than fair and the quality and speed of their work always amazes me. In the past I have felt intimidated being a woman and dealing with car issues but Bob and his crew are very patient in explaining everything to me and never try to take advantage of my ignorance. I won't let anyone but them work on my car because they have my complete trust. Thank you guys! read more

These folks are as good as it gets. They have to be the most honest auto repair you will ever find. Once they located the problem, they will give you all the options (take some place else cheaper, need to get it fixed now, or it can wait). You cannot go wrong with these guys! read more

I have had a lot of work on both of my trucks. No complaints not 1. Bob answers all of my questions.

Not with these guys as long as their around they will have my business. great people!!!!! read more
