Japan Auto Care in
Orangevale (CA)

Started coming here for the last two years for service on my Toyotas. Found them very thorough and meticulous about their work. Their inspections are second to none. They have my trust.

These guys are great! Honest, reliable, and a fair price. They fixed an issue with my Subaru that two different shops couldn’t diagnose. I will be taking my Subaru to them from now on.

I sent my car for inspection. Japan Auto found the leaking, helped me to tighten some screws, and make recommendation of what need to be fixed. The wait time and quote were reasonable.

Stopped by Japan Auto Care to try and find an issue with my suspension sounding funny on my Lexus. Zack and team kept in constant contact and informed me of all the issues they found. Some they even fixed on the spot. Wouldn't hesitate to come back to them for any future issues.

I highly recommend Japan Motors. Ive taken a few makes of vehicles in for repair with excellent results. Great pricing and very helpful staff.

Quick and easy fix for my check engine light. Passed smog and all is good. Zack and the staff friendly and explained everything and provided a detailed summary of their inspection

The price was unbeatable and was completed in a timely matter. The shop also included a detailed list of everything my car needs to have addressed. The staff is friendly with no pressure to do the extra work. Very satisfied and will definitely have my car serviced there again!

Outrageous prices. Not friendly. Paid $93.00 for evaluation that would not have been used towards repairs. Auburn Auto Services is where I recommend 100%

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had such a great experience here! The team was thorough, quick, and incredibly knowledgeable. They were professional from start to finish and Zack even took extra time to answer all of my questions, which really put me at ease. This was for a pre- purchase vehicle inspection. The price was fair for the level of service I received. They are very detailed with photos of specific areas of the vehicle that may need attention. What impressed me most was the follow-up — I’ve never had an auto shop check in afterward to make sure I was satisfied. That level of care and customer service is rare these days and so appreciated. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending them to friends & family! Thanks!

Thank you very much for the team at Japan Auto for taking care of my my car repair. Especially the owner Matt. He gave me all the details information what need to be done and a reasonable price. Zack and Shannon were very helpful with answering my questions. The repair was excellent and now the car is in perfect condition.

I recently brought my 4Runner into Japan Auto Care due to some brake issues, and I’m so happy I did. Not only did they fix everything quickly and thoroughly, but they were also extremely friendly, courteous, and genuinely fun to talk to. While the dealership was giving me the runaround, I decided to look them up—and I’m so glad I did. They made sure I was taken care of from start to finish, and I absolutely love the results. Highly recommend!

It’s hard to find a mechanic you can trust but this is a team you can! The team here is honest and they get the work done quickly! I knew I was going to need a lot of work done and very nervous it was going to be insanely expensive but they are open and honest about what was needing to be completed immediately vs items that can wait. Most shops tell you that everything has to be fixed all at once to squeeze the most money out of you that they can but not these guys! They texted me updates and photos of all my inspection findings with quotes for the work so I had clear transparency of everything happening. Being able to communicate via text throughout the day, pay via text and do the after hours pick up really made it possible for me to get my car taken care of. They even followed up after the work was completed to check in on things! This isn’t my first time taking my car here and I’m a repeat customer because of their awesome service. I recommend them to anyone I hear needing work on their car!

I love this place! Here's my latest experience. I was getting ready to go for a camping trip that was over 200 miles away and needed an oil change. I booked an appointment online, but realized after booking that the appointment was for after the trip. So I called and see if they could somehow help me out. Lucky for me, Zack was able to get me in before we went on our camping trip. They also found a couple things that needed to be fixed, so I was glad to get those taken care of before we left. Really appreciate the team for stepping up on such short notice for me.

The team at Japan Auto Care was wonderful when I recently purchased a used car in the area from out of state! They were able to quickly get us in for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, answer any questions I had, and even got me in for a quick fix before I drove the car back to Seattle. Extremely professional and helpful, would highly recommend them!

I just wanted to express my gratitude to the team at Japan Auto for the fantastic experience we had. We brought in a Camry for a CV Axle, and during the initial inspection, they spotted a potential serious issue. They promptly sent us pictures along with an updated estimate for the repair. I really appreciated the clear communication throughout the day about the progress of the work and the estimated completion time. The staff was incredibly honest, professional, and friendly. We’ll definitely be back in the future!

My new job keeps me on the road. My 08 Sienna with 163k is purring like a kitten, thanks to Matt & staff. I needed a new alternator. Not only did they get me in quick, but they also had a loaner available, so I didn't have to miss work. Quality & and convenience. These guys are The Best

Great service. Walked me out and showed me what they were going to do. Went through everything in the quote and weren’t pushy on anything. This isn’t your budget mechanic because they will do top notch work. Although, they will work with to find alternatives that fits your budget. Highly recommend and will be coming back for all my car needs

This is by far the best auto shop that I have ever been to. I’ve known Stephen since I was in high school and he will always be 100% honest with you. There’s been times when he has understood that finances were tight and has only recommended services that were absolutely necessary. He has always looked out for my best interest and always does it with a smile. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!

Definitely recommend Japan Auto Care! I’ve known the owner, Matt, for about 20 years. Great guy running a trustworthy and caring business. The office staff are very friendly with expert knowledge. They get my car in and out in a timely manner and explain everything they’ve done so I understand. 5 stars!

Absolutely the best customer care! Stephan was amazing and warm, and the rest of the staff worked on the my car with great care and efficiency. I will be using them in the future and recommend them to anyone who needs auto maintenance/repair. They were able to do my tune up and battery change in the time frame I had due to my kids. They were very understanding

Absolutely Fantastic! These guys did an amazing job taking care of my Tacoma! Highly recommend them! They know these trucks well and are very reasonably priced!

Had a great experience with Japan Auto Care. Stephen was a pleasure to deal with. He answered all my questions and took extra time to go over the car after the job was done. Scheduled my oil change and will return for all future repairs, thank you!

Japan Auto Care saved my bacon for sure. I had a blown head gasket and I thought it was over but they fixed my Honda Civic, now it runs basically brand new. Straightforward businessmen, cannot go wrong going here. Thanks again guys! I really appreciate the work you guys did on my car!!

Wow! UH-MAZING! I was having difficulty seeing while driving at night because my headlights were fogged over and didn’t project very far. So I decided to see if Japan Auto could help. I was a little skeptical about the headlight restoration service as I had already tried a couple do-it-yourself kits without too much success. However, Matt assured me that I’d notice a difference and the service came with a year guarantee. He also suggested an upgrade to LED lightbulbs. So, I did both things and it was WORTH EVERY PENNY! It is amazing at how much peripheral and distance visibility I have gained. SO MUCH SAFER TO DRIVE AT NIGHT NOW! Thank you to all at Japan Auto!! Blessings, Lyndsey

Went here for lube & oil service for my Toyota sedan. Stephen is top notch customer service. really polite and great in communicating with what to get done. 💯 I just noticed that they don’t have per hourly labor and service charge posted available inside the office unlike other shops around. But they could make a quote for parts and labor just need to ask them. They have certified professionals tech to do the services needed. One of the best family own shop in town. Would definitely recommend them rather than overpriced dealerships.

I'm sure these guys have some loyal customers, and I can see why!! From start to finish, these guys are professionals when it comes to customer service and handling repairs. The staff and techs are badasses to say the least. Brought my rusty/muddy crawler to them for some work and was ready by end of day. Pick up and drop off was a breeze, and very painless. Diag and labor was very agreeable. Especially since I work at a dealership myself as a diag technician. No complaints and would recommend this shop to anyone. They get s**t done!! Cheers fellas!! Thanks for getting my weekend wheeler back on the road!!

Had a great experience. My car had engine light on for the last 6 month, replaced 2 sensors by myself but it didn't help. I went to Japan Auto Care and after inspection they found that timing belt was previously incorrectly installed. They replaced belt and engine light went off. It was fast and price was good. Definitely will be back for future maintenance and repairs.
