The good thing was that I went back and talked to the mechanic personally. The owner was good, but just getting a printout of a post-purchase inspection is not the same as a few minutes face to face with the mechanic who checked the car out. Otherwise, they seemed professional and know their Toyotas and Hondas.Posted on Google![]()

Tatsu and his crew do phenomenal work. They even offer loaner cars if available. Super easy to get to in Costa Mesa. Fully recommend for Import and Domestic vehicles.Posted on Google![]()

We have been going to Tokyo Automotive for our 4Runner and Ram Truck for a few years, and we wouldn’t go anywhere else. It is very easy to schedule, and they are very straightforward with what work needs to be done. I have always been very happy with the work. I highly recommend them.Posted on Google![]()

Really pleasant experience with these guys. Fairly priced, straight shooters, and easy to communicate with. They also use updated software and actually answer their phone and messages.Posted on Google![]()

Tatsu and his team did a fabulous job on my 2008 Scion xb. I brought my car in for general inspection and an unstable idle. Inspection was very transparent, sharing photos and information on exactly what was done and what the problem is. Unstable idle turned out to be an issue far more complicated then was initially anticipated, but Tatsu and Miguel found the root cause and repaired it perfectly. There was also a problem with the occasional clunking which I did not mention at the time of repair, but they found this "hidden" issue and fixed it. Close communication was maintained throughout the repair and responses were always prompt. What a peace of mind! They are not the cheapest shop around, but considering their competence and experience, it is definitely and easily worth it. They are true professionals and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and honest shop.Posted on Google![]()

I have found a new Pit Crew for my minivan! I'm a busy working mom of three teenage kids and I drive everywhere! I took my car to Tokyo Automotive Repair (thank you, ChatGPT, for the recommendation) because I had some warning lights turn on while I was operating my car. After diagnosing the problem, there were other issues with my car as well. I didn't feel any pressure to have the work done, the team presented the facts to me in order to make an informed decision. I decided to make the investment to have the work done and my car is driving better than I can remember (my car is 17 years old). Thank you, Kevin and the team at Tokyo Automotive Repair for taking care of my teenage son's future car!Posted on Google![]()

Great service! Brought my crosstrek in for an oil change and a check up. I’ve had the car for five years but never taken it in for anything other than oil changes at those jiffy places and noticed some issues. They took care of everything in a few hours and explained all the issues. Car is perfect and it was quickly serviced and reasonably priced but most importantly Kevin thoughtful explained everything. Pricing and work super clear. This will be my forever mechanic.Posted on Google![]()

In Tokyo Automotive We Trust After the Toyota dealership visit (AN in BP), my transmission (2012 Toyota Sequoia) started to fail. After returning to the dealership to tell them something wasn’t right about the transmission after they serviced it, they told me they couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I decided to take it to an independent shop and chose Tokyo Automotive based on the positive reviews. These guys were able to give me a no BS assessment. They took my transmission pan off and showed me the over abundance of twinkling metal shavings found in the pan. My transmission was toast and I needed a new one. It was a hard pill to swallow after receiving an estimate for parts and labor, but what was I going to do? Go back to the dealership? Heck no! TA were very empathetic and walked me through the process. They were able source a replacement for a good price and kept me in the loop as the repair progressed. My tree drives great now. Although it cost me a pretty penny, the TA crew gave me a sense of competence/expertise. Something that the dealership lacks. So it was worth it. I highly recommend Tokyo Automotive. BTW, they will look your vehicle over and advise you on other recommendations, but don’t take this as a sneaky upsell. You can decline if you want without any pushback from them.Posted on Google![]()

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. The staff has always been friendly, kind, and considerate. The work is always tip notch. I would not go anywhere else for work done on my Rav4.Posted on Google![]()
