Excellent Service. Very Professional. Thank You

Good work, fair pricing, as usual. I got an oil change, in & out with friendly service. And warned about my front pads, too. Thanks, Carlos and Hugo.

I got my Lexus GX460 serviced here and the crew is top notch. Very friendly, reasonable, and quick! Definitely beats taking the car to the Lexus dealers down here in Miami.

My trusting gf was nicely ripped off in this place. I warned her to get an estimate of the fixing cost, she never listens. They charged her 800 and she still doesn't have air conditioning. They say they fixed everything else ? so they could not look for a leak. BS people.

Several days ago I decided to go by Japanese Car Care for the first time after reading their great reviews. Reason being I hit a pot hole with my right front tire hard, afterwards I heard a low frequency noise coming out of it. I was greeted by Hugo and Carlos the owner with a smile and all ears as to my problem. Carlos came out and took my car on a test drive, diagnosed right front bearing but actually told me it would be no problem to drive the car like that the noise was really very low now but gradually will get louder. He was so honest that I said go ahead with repairs, my car was ready to roil that afternoon. I do recommend Japanese Car Care, it’s my new go to garage. Their attention and quality work stands out, along with fair pricing!

Took my 2018 Toyota Yaris iA to JapaneseCarCare. The car was misfiring and shutting off at times in the middle of traffic. They had the car several days and I picked up today and no more issues. They service Honda, Acura. Toyota, Lexus… basically, Japanese cars… the place is easy to find and is close to SW 40th (Bird Rd) and Palmetto. Before you spend a ton of cash… give them a try… my co-worker recommended this place. Honest people here. They want you as a customer!!! This is “Not” a place where they rip you off and then you never come back….

I recently took my car to Japanese Car Care, and I must say, the level of service was great. The staff is friendly, very approachable, and knowledgeable; no doubt, they go the extra mile to ensure that your car is well taken care of. Thorough mechanics and fair pricing gave my car an honest inspection. I couldn't be happier. I would highly recommend Japanese Car Care to anyone looking for help with their automobile.

Very honest and straight up family business. They guarantee their work. Hourly rate is listed on their wall and they use new OEM only parts. Use them for maintenance and repairs. Just give them a try.

I can't recommend Japanese Car Care enough! After being told by the Toyota dealership that I needed a bunch of repairs, including new brakes for both the front and rear, I decided to get a second opinion. That's when I took my car to Japanese Car Care and met Hugo and Carlos. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by their professionalism and honesty. They thoroughly inspected my vehicle and assured me that my brakes were in perfect condition and did not need to be replaced. It was such a relief to find an auto shop that doesn't just want to take advantage of you and rip you off. Hugo and Carlos were incredibly knowledgeable and transparent about what my car did and didn't need. Their integrity and commitment to providing honest service have made me a loyal customer. Not only are they honest, but they are also incredibly efficient. They are always quick to quote and fix any issues, often getting the job done the same day! Their prompt service and attention to detail are unmatched. If you're looking for an auto repair shop that you can trust, look no further than Japanese Car Care. They have earned my trust and my business for life!

One of the best in town! Expert, affordable service and maybe more importantly everyone inside the shop was as kind as could be and made me feel confident that I was getting the service I needed. Highly recommended!

Update: 2nd visit 2/20/24- Thanks again for taking care of me and the follow-up text message was a nice touch! ======================== I recently had the pleasure of visiting Japanese Car Care, and I must say, their exceptional service left me thoroughly impressed. From start to finish, they demonstrated a level of attentiveness and honesty that is hard to find. They took the time to listen attentively to my concerns about my car and asked insightful questions to understand the issue thoroughly. This initial interaction immediately instilled confidence in their expertise. What truly set this auto shop apart was their honesty. Rather than upselling unnecessary services, they provided an honest assessment of my car's condition and recommended only what was truly needed. Their transparent approach was refreshing and alleviated any concerns I had about being taken advantage of. They went above and beyond not just by fitting me in last minute but also willing to go out of their way by working on and fixing my BMW which they don't specialize in. However, they clearly had the knowledge to do the work. The work performed on my vehicle was outstanding. The technicians demonstrated great skill and attention to detail, resolving the issue effectively and efficiently. To top it all off, the prices were reasonable and fair, especially considering the top-notch service and expertise they provided. It's clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority for them, and it shows in every aspect of their work. In conclusion, I highly recommend this one-stop-shop for anyone in need of automotive repairs or maintenance. Their attentiveness, honesty, and exceptional service make them stand out in the industry. I am incredibly pleased with my experience and will definitely be returning for any future car needs. Service date 6/16/23. referred by a BNI member.

Ehh.

I took my car in for service and had them do an alignment at the end of November of 2023, since I had just installed 4 new tires. When I picked up the car and drove home, I felt the car pulling to the right and called the shop back to let them know. I spoke to Hugo who said that the alignment was done properly and the pulling to the right is because I had "cheap tires", mind you the tires were brand new. He said all he can do was rotate the wheels. A little over three months now and my right rear tire is completely damaged from the car not being aligned properly. I definitely would not take my car or recommend this place to anyone else.


Feb 05, 2024

Incredibly trustworthy mechanic and reasonably priced. Was recommended by a coworker and have been going to them since.


Feb 05, 2024

It's a pleasure working with these guys. Carlos is very knowlegable and honest and the whole team works hard to get you serviced fast. Thank you!


Jan 05, 2024

They've kept my 2009 Honda on the road for 200k miles. Honest pricing and people. Gotta love it!


Jan 05, 2024

Took my car in 3 or so months ago, everything seemed alright A/C repair, key starter issue/clutch replacement. Now the car is giving starter issues. Also last month it rained really hard one day and there was a literal puddle on the drivers side floor, this was not an issue before the repair nor has anyone else worked on the car.


Jan 05, 2024

Very professional and readonly priced. This is an autoshop that you can trust to be honest a good job


Dec 05, 2023

EXCELLENT SERVICE Got the service my car actually needed. Thank you for an outstanding job.


Dec 05, 2023

Great service ...fast,honest,clean and more important they know what they are doing...


Dec 05, 2023

Great service, great shop !!! See you soon for more great service 🙏


Dec 05, 2023

I highly recommend Japanese Auto Care for all your car repairs and maintenance needs. Carlos and his dad are amazing mechanics who provide fair and reliable service. It's hard to find honest and trustworthy local mechanics, but Japanese Auto Care is the exception. Thank you for taking care of my car and keeping me on the road!


Dec 05, 2023

Apparently Japanese Car Care doesn’t service Japanese cars lmao. I have a JDM and they refuse to even do an oil change on it. They were polite about it though hence the 3 stars but it’s just nonsensical.


Dec 05, 2023

Buen sercio llevo partes de autos para el taller


Dec 05, 2023

Fair priced and do great work.


Dec 05, 2023

Great service, very knowledgeable mechanics.


Dec 05, 2023

Honest, reliable, on time, communicative. I have a 23 year old Subaru that I take great pride in conserving. I recommend this place!


Dec 05, 2023

I would rate them as a zero if they didn't do decent work.  Their mechanics seem great, but the 2 guys up front that run the place lack integrity and are horrible liars.  A friend and colleague recommended them to me and I took my car to them several times in the past year for a few different issues.  The last time I took my car there was for ac repairs.  The ac was repaired but when I picked up the car there was a 16 inch crack going across my windshield on the drivers side all the way to the middle of my windshield.  They had the nerve to tell me the crack was there when I dropped the car off.  Mind you this crack was right in my line of my vision to drive. I was spending $2500 to get ac fixed, plus the repairs being done to my car were being paid for by someone else as a gift, why would I not inquire about a cracked windshield at the same time if it was already there? They lied to my face repeatedly and kept telling me if I had full insurance that I could get the insurance to fix it for free.  They were correct about the insurance which is how I got it fixed, but they could have owned the fact that a crack on the windshield happened on their watch.  If it was there when I dropped off the car I'm sure they would have mentioned it and or photographed it.  They did neither and have no integrity.   They also left all the debris that was taken out during the ac repairs on the floor of my passenger side floor.  I had thought I had found the repair shop for my 3 older Japanese cars but can't trust them as they will lie to you right to your face about something that isn't even debatable.  Use them with extreme caution.

I’ve taken two of my cars to these guys recently. A 2015 Honda Civic and a 2014 Lexus CT200H. They are very communicative, straight shooters, and the turn around is quick. Both cars required replacement parts that typically creep up along with the miles. I love that they use OEM parts and don’t cut corners. They seem reasonably priced, but you get what you pay for right? I’d rather pay to get it right done once and move on with life

Japanese Car Care is a great place to take your car for repairs. Their staff is friendly and very knowledgeable about their business. I went in for a P0301 (cylinder 1 misfire) code on my 15 Odyssey, and Carlos took the time to explain everything that could be causing that issue and the possible repairs that needed to be made. It ended up being a faulty spark plug that is very common on various models with ECO systems. I also requested for them to change the timing belt, water pump, and the other belts associated with the process. They were very communicative throughout the entire repair and even noticed an engine mount that was in need of replacing. I have absolutely no complaints about the pricing. It's worth the value, and knowing that they only use OEM parts on your vehicle makes it even better. You could find a cheaper place, but you are taking a chance to be the newest Temu victim. If you own a Japanese vehicle, dont take chances and go straight to JCC. You won't regret it.


Dec 05, 2023

Japanese cars But no Suzuki ones. Toco ir a Hialeah. Nice web page.


Dec 05, 2023

Major service for the RC 350. Quick and reasonable.


Dec 05, 2023

Quick and very knowledgeable! 10/10 def going to be my new mechanic for my 2019 Tacoma!


Dec 05, 2023

Very good service, straight shooter mechanic shop (very rare in this line of service). Don’t think it necessarily cheap but definitively is VERY GOOD VALUE. They do not schedule appointments ahead, so if possible arrive early so they are not busy and you get your service e going. Definitively recommend.


Dec 05, 2023

Wanted to leave a Zero star. This shop is dishonest. Any repair is overpriced and if you take it for a diagnostic and don't repair your car they will damage something else. 🤔 Carlos is terrible. We thought we could trust you and you failed several times. Sell the shop to honest people. People in Miami are tired of crooks.
