The clutch finally and unceremoniously blew out on my beloved 2010 Mazda5 with around 95k, and I needed it addressed quickly and affordably. I called around to several places, including my neighborhood mechanic, but no one could match the quote or availability of Japanese Auto Repair. I know I'm going to like a place when I call and describe the problem and they know right away what it is without a lot of fuss, nor any ridiculous charge just for looking at it. These dudes get right down to business and simply fix your car without unnecessary jib-jab. The clutch replacement was done at the cost they quoted me and, when they informed me of an additional repair needed on my front axel, they did that at the same time for a totally reasonable fee without any extra labor tacked on. My car was ready in a timely manner, too! I hope not to need these guys again super soon, but I'm grateful they're there for whatever might come up next with my car—which I hope to drive for another 95k.

Top drawer, reliable, conscientious auto maintenance service!
We were having trouble with our Toyota Sienna while passing through Portland on a road trip. The staff at Japanese Auto Repair was able to quickly diagnose the problem and fix it the same day. The price was very reasonable too! This is the place to go!
Hella good place saved me fr getting ripped off

I am so happy I took my outback here. I had first taken it into the dealership and of course they wanted a arm and a leg for the repairs so I took it to Japanese Auto Repair as my partner took his Subaru in for some minor repairs a while back. The shop was able to take my car in the next day, do an inspection and get back to me by the end of the business day, I felt that was fantastic. They were honest about repairs, cost. and turn around time with my car. Since there where bunch of things I needed done they did inform me that they needed to order some of the parts and during this process they were great on calling and giving me updates. At no point I felt pressured and not valued through any of the associates I talked to at the shop and that meant a lot to me. They were able to get my car back within the requested time, were friendly from start to finish, pricing for all the work I had done was more than fair and I just really appreciated being treated as a person. Honestly if you are looking for a great shop to take your car I would take it here.
