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.

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.

If you're searching for automotive expertise paired with exceptional service, look no further than Tokyo Automotive Repair. Specializing in Toyotas and Asian cars, this auto shop sets the standard for excellence. When my 4Runner started overheating, I reached out to Tokyo Automotive Repair. Tatsu Tsuchida, the owner, listened attentively to my concerns while prioritizing my safety above all else. Recognizing the potential dangers of driving it in its current condition, he insisted I bring in my 4Runner right away. Tatsu's genuine concern for my well-being was immediately evident when I arrived. He provided me with a Prius loaner car to use while my 4Runner was in the shop. This thoughtful gesture ensured my continued mobility and continued patronage. Tatsu is committed to going above and beyond for his customers. 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. Manager Larry took the time to discuss the findings in a clear and understandable manner, patiently answering all my questions. His expert recommendations prioritized only essential repairs, saving me time and money. Despite the complexity of the repairs, Tokyo Automotive Repair's pricing remained fair and transparent. Their commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction shines through in every interaction. So, whether you're facing a minor issue or a major repair, Tokyo Automotive Repair is the go-to destination for all your automotive needs. Trustworthy, transparent, and skilled, they exemplify excellence in the industry. It is THE place to get your car serviced while being treated like family. I wholeheartedly recommend Tokyo Automotive Repair to anyone seeking top-notch service for their vehicle.

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!

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.

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 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.

Fantastic Experience! The team at Tokyo Automotive uses cutting edge technology and processes while being completely transparent about what could be done, should be done, and has been done. Their customer communication is fantastic with documentation by photo and video to help make decisions. I highly recommend them!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 :)

Dropped my car off with Tatsu at Tokyo Automotive earlier today. We're midway through the service...but I'm impressed enough that I feel a 5-star review is warranted before I even pick up. The level of service and attention to detail is impressive. He listened to my description, clearly articulated what they'd be checking with all of it documented, and I had the opportunity to approve the quote. Still, he's been checking in with me and explained their findings. And since I'd dropped of the car, Tatsu ended up giving me a ride home himself. I never experienced this level of service and I hope you all have car issues so you can experience it, too. Ok, not really. 😉 But if you DO have car issues, I hope you bring your car to Tokyo Auto. They'll take great care of you.

This is the place! These guys run a professional operation and have gained our family as devoted patrons. Tatsu came highly recommended from our mechanic we trusted for almost 20 years, who went into another facet of automobiles. We were so hesitant to make the change at first but in every aspect of care for our cars we have been pleased. This is an exceptional group of men to work with, and they have worked on three of our family's cars so far... and we trust them implicitly. Thanks so much for coordinating such care and professionalism when you work with our vehicles. We will be back. And we look forward to referring you to more of our friends. See you soon! Katherine and family

By far the best service I've ever experienced with owning a car. I've had a family car repair guy closer to home, but when my partner brought his car to Tokyo Auto and had a great experience, I came over too once my old little '99 Honda CRV needed some TLC. They helped with my engine mounts, catalytic converter replacement, leaky fluids, and other engine work. I love my car so much and I'm happy that it feels safe to drive while enjoying it as a time capsule. Tatsu and his crew absolutely deliver the best service, offer courtesy cars, give you detailed information and photos about services needed, don't make any egregious quotes, take your budget and safety into consideration, and truly are looking out for you and your car. Not only do they do great work, but also their customer service is excellent. Tatsu is friendly, hard-working, and honest. I can't recommend this place enough!
