They were very patient with me and repaired my car in a timely manner. I really appreciated that they included photos to explain their findings and offered honest, straightforward advice on the next steps to keep my car running. Will be going back again :)

I took my Corolla Hybrid here for an oil change and a check up on the front left wheel which has needed fairly regular air refills since purchase. The price for the oil change was reasonable and they did the utmost to figure out what was wrong with the tire. They did find a nail stuck between the treads but determined that it was not the cause of the leak. Since they could not determine the cause, they opted not to charge me despite the inspection. The staff were very friendly and we opted for the free loaner car since we were outside the shuttle radius. I would utilize their services again.

Tatsu and the team at Tokyo Automotive are fantastic. This has been my go-to mechanic shop for the past three years, and I’ve consistently received excellent service both in the quality of the work and in my interactions with the staff. Although they specialize in Japanese vehicles, they work on my Jeep Grand Cherokee without issue. They’ve caught several potential problems early and fixed them efficiently. They’re extremely knowledgeable, fairly priced, and genuinely friendly. Highly recommend.

I came to Tatsu and his team looking for a partner in automotive maintenance to help avoid being a “reactive maintenance” person. I believe I’ve found exactly what I was looking for in this group. The Tokyo Automotive team has proved to be thorough, communicative, and knowledgeable. I’ve enjoyed my interactions with this group and look forward to continued business.

Vehicle repair you can trust. Tokyo Auro give you an estimate with pictures of the necessary repairs. They also prioritize the urgency or each repair. Their prices are not as cheap as some others, but they warranty the work and use quality parts.

Specialized service on a 1977 Datsun 280Z. Sourced the parts and performed the services well. Owner Tatsu was very attentive and helpful as was David, the mechanic who performed the work.

I found a marketing tag tucked into my window, coincidentally as I was making plans to have my vehicle serviced at the dealer, and followed the prompt~ so glad I did! The service and friendly personality at Tokyo Auto was exemplary. They are consummate professionals, attentive to detail, and transparently honest. I'm glad to have found a reliable trustworthy resource to keep my car in best shape. After one visit, I'm already a regular customer. Thanks Tokyo!

I have been going to the Placentia location for nearly ten years now, and when I moved to Costa Mesa I continued driving up to take my cars there when they needed work. When they opened up the Costa Mesa location, I was glad to have a closer location with all the same benefits. High quality work, honest opinions of what needs to be done, and overall incredible service. When my plans changed and I needed my car back sooner than I expected, they were able to get it done on time. Tatsu and the team have always taken care of me.

The minute I drove away from my first a”Tokyo Automotive” maintenance, it was extremely clear that Tatsu and company had upgraded the status of our Camry! It felt like all the right parts had been tightened up! Losing my previous mechanic was very emotional, however Tatsu has assured me that I will continue to receive great service under his roof at Tokyo Automotive! P.S. Minh is a very cool dude!! Very respectful & personable!!

I took my 2007 Tacoma in for a new battery and ended up spending much more money for a drive shaft. I like that they are vigilant about any red flags that might make it dangerous to drive my truck. They are good at reminding me of basic service via/texts/email. Tatsu has also remediated issues that most repair shops would have charged me for. I am very skeptical about repair shops taking advantage of customers because we have been burned in the past. I will stay with Tokyo Automotive and hope that my old truck doesn’t nickel and dime me to death.

Came by to get a 2nd opinion about my engine & transmission. Needed assurance that it's safe to drive. Miguel drove it around, checked the under carriage. No issue noted, except needing new ball joints, and air in the tires--he added air, topped off the water level. No charge. Phew! I appreciate their courtesy & transparency. TY Team TAOoC!

Their comprehensive approach began with a thorough auto check, followed by a detailed report accessible online. Each finding was meticulously documented with repair priority, cost breakdowns, and pictures. This transparency empowered me to make informed decisions about my vehicle's repairs.

Purchased a used car here recently, fantastic service. Fair and transparent price, and the car is well taken care of. Would highly recommend from my experience here. I’m not local to the area, and they even recommended me an auto shop close by where I live, great service overall.

Decided to go to a higher-end mechanic to have a diagnostic and efficiently deal with whatever ails my car. Tatsu and the team were very professional and generous, from updates online over the course of the inspection to offering to drive me home and back while the rental cars were all out. Once I sort myself out, I'll arrange for the repairs soon. Thank you.
