I took my car in for the first time after about 50,000 miles. The service manager Joe was courteous, efficient and kept me updated that particular day on car repair needs and costs. They fix what they need to fix, and don't try to get you agree to unnecessary repairs. My bill was affordable, and there were no miscellaneous fees added like some of the dealers try to add to your bill. It is a clean, tidy place where you can hang out if you are waiting while the service is completed. Coffee offered so. I highly recommend this Japanese auto Washington St location. I was so pleased and will take my car for any future repairs. Therese Soens

Excellent service and care from the Washington Street branch. Joe was efficient, professional and skilled. This was our first time here and we went based on the reviews. The high ratings are correct. Highly recommend this place.

A great all around experience.

Good people, good work, honest.

Took great care of me and my 4-Runner, and did it all in one day 😊. As it turned out a squirrel had made a snack of some wires 🤦🏻‍♀️. Highly recommended.

Diagnosis was very detailed. The service was timely and efficient. Employees were knowledgeable and communicated professionally.

Great mechanics and amazing customer service!

I had a great experience at Japanese Car Care North. Joe kept me apprised of the costs of the repairs throughout the process and only recommended necessary work. I really appreciated his honesty and communication. I had a tight deadline when I needed to leave and they completed the work right on time! The facility was clean, comfortable, and pleasant to wait in. I highly recommend Japanese Car Care North for your auto maintenance needs.

I never drove my '99 4Runner when it was brand new but I imagine this is what it felt like. I left my car with Eric, Jason, Adam and their team for a week while out of town for work. While I was away they did a bunch of work on the front end and the front brakes. Amazing outcome. Feels and drives like it may have 270,000 miles ago back in 1999. Japanese Car Care is one of those businesses where I always feel our money is well spent and is a satisfying investment.


Aug 07, 2024

I've been taking my vehicles to Japanese Car Care for years and have been totally satisfied with their work, character, pricing and honesty. I am grateful for this quality shop run by quality people.

THE BEST car care team ever! We were having some intermittent problems with the AC and a goofy rattle when we put the car in reverse to back out of the garage. They performed a complete AC inspection and found it only had ¼ of the factory recommended refrigerant. The rattle was not only 2 worn out underside clips, but the drive train system needed attention. I was greeted by Joe, the Service Coordinator (who did a great job of keeping me informed throughout the day re recommended service items and costs) and Jason (the owner, who took an interest in my concerns and offered some common sense possibilities). It’s this level of thoughtful diagnostics and recommendations I really appreciate. I love my 2014 Honda CRV and like to keep in in great working order. This is THE PLACE for maintaining Japanese cars! Also recommend the Menaul /Virginia location. This new location on Washington NE south of Alameda is beautiful. As expected, the building was tidy, the coffee was ready at 7:30AM, the bathroom clean, and the waiting room comfortable. There is an unusual respect for the vehicles as well as the customers. They have this car care business figured out! They’ve taken car diagnostics and maintenance and customer service to the highest level. Highly recommend Japanese Car Care - both locations!

What turned from a simple oil change for our 2002 Toyota Prerunner, switched to an immediate need due to a work situation. And Joe and Adam and all the people working at the new North location where amazing! They communicated clearly what was needed. Kept us updated on timing and completed an oil change, tire rod swap and new door handle in the perfect time needed. They were simply amazing and courteous and such a joy to work with. And this is why we have been with them for 10+ years and will continue. Thank you all!!! You made the weekend bike race happen!

As always, Japanese Car Care does a first rate job taking care of my car and honoring commitments to the their customers. Their new northside location has the same high quality I have known for 20 years. They well document their work and are very professional.

Excellent service, great communication and a nice place to wait for your car to be repaired.


Jul 07, 2024

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable -diagnosed the problem(s) and presented options that I could implement to remedy the problems. Super friendly, fast, and consultative. Many Thanks!!


Jul 07, 2024

I am very happy with cost and quality of service at Japanese Car Care. My 2003 Tundra with 51k miles needed a little love. The guys replaced my timing belt, did a tuneup, fixed other issues. The truck now runs as good as the day I bought it.


Jul 07, 2024

It was my first time visiting Japanese Car Care (North Location) and I have to say that it was quite a pleasant experience. Adam was knowledgeable about my car and its needs, which helped me decide what repairs were necessary to endure a long road trip ahead for me. Their prices are reasonable and the work completed on my car was done in a timely manner. Thank you again guys, I will definitely recommend this shop to people with Japanese cars!


Jul 07, 2024

Japanese Car Care came highly recommended by a couple of friends. I am pleased to report that they more than lived up to the accolades. They took excellent care of my 2018 Subaru. The 60k mile tuneup plus new front brakes was the same price as the dealers 60k service WITHOUT the new brakes. The staff are very professional and courteous.


Jul 07, 2024

Superb service and top quality work. They Make sure you know your car's current condition fully and work with you on what you want to have done rather than trying to force you to get anything done. They work with you to try to keep costs down when maintenance items overlap. All around the right kind of shop to trust your vehicles.


Jul 07, 2024

Trustworthy service; would recommend if vehicle needs service/repairs

Excellent customer service! First time there - they were highly recommended & rightly so. I will continue to go there for care of my 2 cars!


Jul 07, 2024

Great service and great staff! We have been using Japanese Car for over 25 years!


Jul 07, 2024

I always feel like I am being treated fairly and professionally when I bring my car in for service, and I appreciate that there are no high-pressure sales tactics. When I pick up my car I have full confidence in their work and I love the estimates with photos and prioritization of repairs needed. I can't say enough good things about Japanese Care, nor could I recommend them more highly.


Jul 07, 2024

JCC has been my mechanic for many years and I am happy to report that the new location provided the same honest service I expect from them. Congrats on the new location.


Jul 07, 2024

Japanese Care has taken very good care of my Prius! Always professional, polite, and honest! I am happy to have such awesome people insure my car is safe and reliable.


Jul 07, 2024

Jason and Eric are accommodating and trustworthy. We're long-time customers. Our vehicles of Japanese and American make run well. Congratulations on new location. Is very nice and convenient.


Jul 07, 2024

Really great first experience. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly, and they did a great job with our van. And love the detailed report they provide at end of service.


Jun 07, 2024

Great people and honest, reliable service!


Jun 07, 2024

I have been a customer of Japanese Car Care for 20 years. Their auto repair and servicing has always been of the highest quality whether problem identification, recommendations or service. Ben started JCC with the commitment to honesty, value, and top quality auto services. With Ben's retirement and his "passing the touch" to Jason, the best qualities of JCC have been continued and expanded. The opening of their new facility off Jefferson and Paseo makes the availability and access for westside customer much better. The new facility has more space for cars and a wonderful customer waiting area. I highly recommend JCC to anyone in the ABQ area who needs a trustworthy, hard working shop for their Japanese, Korean, etc car. And they are also very nice people with great pricing for their work.


Jun 07, 2024

I have been using Japanese Car Care for almost 20 years and have total trust in them. They have kept my 2005 Honda CR-V humming without skipping a beat. They are honest and never upsell … now that they have opened a Northside location, they are even more convenient . They are the absolute best!


Jun 07, 2024

I have used Japanese Car Care for over 30 years and never had a bad experience. Excellent care for my many Honda and Toyota products, professional staff and fair prices! Could not be happier with their service.


Jun 07, 2024

As always quality service in a timely fashion. What we have come to expect. Great group of people.


Jun 07, 2024

I continue to be pleased using Japanese car care


Jun 07, 2024

I have taken several trucks/ cars to this business for 20 years. I’ve always been both impressed and pleased with the repair work they do. I trust the mechanics and owner to put my needs as a priority. The team has always come through. They pay attention to details and have pointed out repair issues I was unaware of, which certainly prolonged the life of my vehicles. I would recommend this business first as the‘go- to’ place.


Jun 07, 2024

It's always a pleasure working with the staff at Japanese Car Care, as they explain everything in detail and are easy to work with. I've been taking my vehicles to them for years and am happy to recommend their services.


Jun 07, 2024

The people who work for Jason at Japanese Car Care are professional, competent and honest. They have always treated me fairly and I’ve never had a problem with their work. I always refer them to anyone who needs a good mechanic.
