Patrick, Heidi and everyone at JAR are always amazing and honest. Never had an issue with their shop and they always offer very fair and affordable pricing. Probably the most honest and reasonably priced auto repair shop in GA.
JAR is simply an excellent Service Center. I am new to the town and looking for a good Service facility for my most loved Subaru WRX. This facility is not just close to my house and also the real deal. Based on all the reviews I took my car to this facility and here I am writing another most deserved review. I am a Certified Mechanical Engineer myself and has good knowledge about Automobiles. For sure these guys are very knowledgeable and have quality technicians & friendly. Esp. Patrick, the service manager is an excellent man. He patiently listened to all the issues I have mentioned with the car and took care of them very well. I felt really great driving my car home. Like someone mentioned already they get it right from the very first time and keep giving their customers best service always. Their prices are definitely reasonable. All their recommendations are aimed at giving the best customer service without making the customer spend money unnecessarily. I really liked it and would love to recommend this facility to all my friends & family. Hell yeah five Stars..
The shop was clean, organized, and welcoming. The staff was wonderful. They were respectful, kept me updated about the status of my vehicle. BEST of all Patrick offered me great suggestions that saved me money at the end. Will definitely go back for all my car care.
My brother recommended JAR, and he was right. I have had all three of my cars worked on by JAR, and they were able to fix a long-standing service light that my previous mechanic could not fix.I also used JAR to evaluate a car I was considering buying, and they did a comprehensive inspection and briefed me clearly on what work it would need in the future. I HIGHLY recommend JAR.
Exceptional!!! I want to brag on this company because they deserve it. Patrick is awesome from beginning to end. I was there about 30-40 minutes for oil change and a special type battery he ordered for my Genesis. I am a new customer for life!! Staff friendly, clean, neat waitng area with refreshments, prompt service, honestly very fair prices. I couldnt ask for anything more. I was so impressed I was smiling and thanking them several times. I am so happy to give this outstanding review because this is what a customer wants from a business. They earned my business and respect. Great team work, entire staff and that includes the mechanic!!!! I know this is lengthy I dont care because I wanted to tell how wonderful my experience was at Japanese Auto!!! THANKS!!
This was my first time using this business. I received a flyer in the mail that day and went right then for an oil change! The young man who checked me in was so nice! All charges and the details of what they would check were made very clear. While waiting I listened to how he spoke to the other customers. He was very professional! He also spent time answering any questions and explaining the service they would need. My car was done in a reasonable amount of time and I was given recommendations for a couple of smaller things. I appreciate that this was told to me with NO pressure! When my car was brought around front to me all codes were cleared including “check tire pressure” that had been on! Lol. I am thankful to have found this place! It’s difficult to find a good shop where you feel like you’re not being ripped off! Thanks JAR… I’ll be back with my other vehicles!
JAR is a great! Our car started misbehaving so we brought it to JAR. Thus began a COVID-times story. The part we needed was not readily available for our not so old Mazda. The computer chip shortage strikes! Charlie and the team stepped up and tried every avenue to source the part from their network. They received damaged and incorrect parts over and over but never gave up. Charlie was always friendly and helpful and communicated all along the way. They did everything they could to get our car running reliably until a replacement part could be found but alas modern engine electronics make for fickle problems. Finally Mazda showed a part in stock! They ordered the part, installed it and voila`!! A working vehicle!Thank you to Charlie and the whole team for your tenacity, persistence, professionalism, skill and genuine care and concern about us and our vehicle. You guys rock!!
This shop is the real deal. I’d recommend them to anyone tbh. Every time I’ve taken my vehicle to them they’ve not only fixed the issue, but it also didn’t cost an arm and a leg. They always kept me informed if anything came up and have always been super professional. Two thumbs way up. Highly recommended.
I LOVE LOVE these guys, theyre always polite, professional and informative.Cost is reasonable and repairs exceed my expectations. They get it right the first time and I am a customer for life - Thanks Charlie and Patrick!
I have been bringing my vehicles here for over 2 years now. Lextechs started over selling to my wife on items her Lexus did not need. Patrick and JAR on the other hand tell you straight. Reasonably priced. Work is quick. They could be slammed completely and Patrick will still do everything in his power to help. We moved much further away and I still cannot stop using JAR. Customer service is too good.
This was by far the best automotive repair shop experience I’ve ever had in my life! The entire staff is very friendly and professional. I decided to take my Lexus to JAR after going back and forth to Mtb for weeks due to a botched up job with my power steering. The other shop messed up the air flow and JAR was able to correct the problem in a couple of hours! I will never take my cars to another shop…….never!
Had to replace my clutch on my 2002 Acura, obviously once they pulled the transmission out they found some more items that could be fixed pretty easily and gave me the option to do the repairs or skip them. They were able to do the clutch and a few of the accessory repairs all in one day. Pricing was fair too (a clutch job is not cheap). Also, everyone I interacted with was very helpful, professional, and friendly. Highly recommend.
Great auto shop with great people. Very clean business and fast to get you in and out with great quality work done. I will take my car there everytime.
They were very knowledgeable and friendly. They clearly explained the expected charges and repairs and did their best to work within my budget. 5 stars for sure!
JAR provided exceptional service through clear communication. My car felt brand new after getting multiple repairs/services. I highly recommend this shop for your repairs and/or maintenance. They discovered a flaw my last repair shop did to cause more complications. They were able to quickly diagnose and resolve the issue, and in one day, they were able to correct and deliver almost what felt like a brand new car. Their punctual service is a plus.
Good customer service and explained in detail the work to be done,
Have been taking both my Toyotas here for a couple of years. Great service and fast turn around time. Much better than the dealership.
JAR always does a good job at a reasonable price. Great alternative to the dealer.
JAR is very professional and honest. You can rely on them. They are telling you in details what you need to change or maintain. They are very welcoming crew
Patrick, Raymond & team have been very helpful and apparently honest diagnostics & repairs-for years! Wouldnt go anywhere else!
Clean shop with knowledgeable and professional staff that you can trust to take great care of your vehicle.
They helped me connect with a towing service to get my dead car to the shop, and kept me up to date with the diagnosis. They also replaced my battery pretty quickly and got my car out the same day.Very efficient and effective service and communication. Prices were reasonable too! I highly recommend them.
Japanese Auto Repair was recommended by a coworker, extremely professional and knowledgeable. I was in and out in no time. I would highly recommend JAR to anyone who owns a Japanese vehicle!
My first time here and I left very impressed. Very professional and friendly staff. They are very knowledgeable and knows cars! Thanks for the superb service. If you have never stopped in, please consider giving them a try and see for yourself the quality of service offered.
I have been going to JAR for almost 15 years now and Ray, Shad and their team has never disappointed me. Ray’s opinions on car problems have been always right and they work with you for the money and match prices too. Janine, who runs the shuttle is a fabulous lady. Thanks JAR.
Went to Japanese Auto Repair for a pre-purchase used car inspection. They were extremely thorough and upfront with their findings, all for a reasonable price. Would highly recommend them!
What a great experience!My 18 year old step sons car wouldnt start. We tried to jump it without success. We called AAA and the driver said he was sure it was the starter. We had the car towed to JAR where they were able to diagnose the problem quickly. It turned out to be a bad cable which they replaced right away. Instead of a long, costly repair we were in and out in no time. I am so impressed with their honest, professional service.
Patrick was able to squeeze me in same day and check out what was going on with my car. Great service and value. Absolutely will be using them for all my future car needs for sure.
JAR is an Excellent dealership alternative!!!Professional, knowledgeable, courteous and fair priced.I had a transmission flush and oil change performed on my Lexus this morning . I saved over $250 from what the dealership wanted and I had the car back in less than 2 hours.. 2 different dealers wanted me to leave the vehicle overnight for same service. The guys at JAR also updated me on a couple other minor repairs that may be in my future but did not recommend anything that I didnt feel was necessary. Josh and Shad are trustworthy guys... I am glad I found a new shop I can trust moving forward.
Very professional and they got my A/C fixed in one day, plus more! I was very happy to hear my car was finished, because I almost expected a phone call that they would need additional days. Very pleased with this auto shop. This was my first time visiting, but it won’t be my last.
Very professional, honest and great customer service. Communicated the diagnosed problem, went over list of fixes that were a priority and kept me up to date with progress. They even went above and beyond to let me pick up my car after hours when I was late returning after they closed. Great team!
I went in there Saturday afternoon because my tires needed to be balanced. They were able to fit me in their schedule and got me in and out quickly. I appreciate it!!!
These guys say what they do and do what they say. I took my 2010 Toyota Highlander there twice, and the service, knowledge, and fast quality work the JAR team does has left me a very satisfied customer. The prices are competitive, and they work hard to get your car in the shop on the same day if possible. Even on Saturdays! Ive only dealt with Patrick, who seems technically competent and very helpful. I recommend this shop over a dealership. Thanks, JAR Team!
Went in for an oil change, got not only that but detailed inspection and was made aware of a critical issue with my vehicle. Best value for a competitively priced oil change. Would return.
Patrick and Shad kept me fully informed at all phases of diagnostic and repair process, very courteous. Will definitely use again!
They’ve always done good work with our vehicles and have been accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend.
I’d like to thank Shad!! He’s the director of Japanese Auto Repair and he read my review and professionally rectified the situation. Was definitely a a miscommunication and because of his honesty I will definitely be going back to let them work on all of my vehicles. It just takes simple communication and that’s exactly what Shad did. He took the time out to contact me and not only fixed the problem, but my day as well!! Thanks Shad!!!
JAR has always done a great job servicing my vehicles. Yesterday was no exception!
I made an appointment online for an oil change & to have a transmission leak addressed. Patrick was my point of contact, he is very knowledgeable & thorough. I am very impressed with the fair labor rates as well as how quickly the work was completed.
Excellent service. Fast, fairly priced, and knowledgeable. A pleasure to do business with at every turn. These guys are miles better than the dealer. They work with you and make sure you know whats going on, and inspire confidence. Will be back whenever I need repairs I am not able to do at home.
This was my sons vehicle,,,,,,, u folks, as usually, did an outstanding job-brakes, oil change, head light replacement-quality work, far price, on time, service friendly-----thanks,,,,fred
I have to tell my experience at JAR.JAR is superb, honest and professional.Kenneth thank you so much for your service of tire change and oil replacement. Your job was perfect.Josh, also, thank you so much for your kind explanation and life saving recommendations.Free car rental service was so helpful that I could manage my schedules by driving JAR rental car while my car was in repair.Two young professional gentlemen, you are the best of best!!Again I really appreciate your service.See you next time.Jae
These guys are EXCELLENT! Great prices and they really care about your vehicle. I highly recommend them. You will be pleased!
Brought my daughter to your business because her water pump was leaking on her 2017 Charger. The work was done on the same day a Saturday she was very pleased with the service, she Daddy I like them now the whole family is going to Japanese Auto great job always
Great shop and staff. Even after moving to north Georgia I travel to this shop to have work done on my car. They have saved me a lot of money over the years and have clarified lies/tricks other shops have tried to trap me in. The quality of the work is top notch. The staff is great, they have gone above and beyond in making sure I was taken care of.
July 5 2021. I went to this workshop because it is in front of where I live.I went now in the morning - 7:45 am - to this workshop to change the oil of my 2006 Toyota matrix.I asked them if they spoke Spanish, and they said no. I told them oil change, and they said not today. I think it bothered them that I didnt speak English. They did not attend to me.
Japanese Auto Repair did an excellent job servicing my car and diagnosing and repairing engine issues that I was having with my vehicle. They service my vehicle quickly and professionally at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them.
JAR provided friendly and courteous service. They replaced front and rear suspension on my older vehicle. Price was half of the dealer. I’m well pleased with their service and the repair.
Quick repair and honest advice!!! Will definitely return.
Price was as quoted. Work was completed on time and staff was professional and pleasant to interact with.
Awesome service! and very knowledgeable staff. They will work with you to fix everything or only what is needed and will go out of their way to save you money on parts. Would highly recommend!
They got to my car over the weekend as we had to urgently use the car the next week. Fast, Professional and very friendly.
My new automobile mechanic, in lieu of Carl Black Honda... same aervice ;but more convenient to where I live. Also Patrick and the others are very professional and kind to people of color and women.
Patrick and the staff. Provided Exceptional Customer Service. We will definitely be back and refer other !!
I have been coming here to have my 2009 Nissan serviced for about 3 years now. Honest and upfront place. Great communication, and fast turnaround. The only place I will take my car for work!
Wheel alignment was performed on my car which greatly reduced the shaking at high speeds. Service was fast (compared to NTB, friendly and professional). Price was reasonable at 90 dollars for the alignment.
Everyone working here is awesome. They offering very competitive price, I called many places before I decided to go with this place. Highly recommended to visit Japanese Auto Repair.
Thanks JAR team, great job.
Jar is not only a wonderful place to bring your car for any service or problem, but they treat you with respect and give you a great price, better than any dealer, Ive been a Jar customer for many years. thank you for your service.
This shop is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Very honest upfront and affordable. For just a fraction of the price the dealership quoted I was able to get an extremely expensive fix done and quick too. Their customer service is A-1 Patrick was a great rep, he assisted every step of the way. I am very pleased and will be returning if I ever need work done moving forward. Don’t waste time or money with the other Lying, scamming shops. Look no further, your worries stop here!!
Fantastic experience. Patrick was my advisor. I brought my Lexus for a starter replacement and was informed of some other maintenance that was recommended at the time of service. Patrick did a great job at communicating throughout the process and providing the best and most honest information. The repairs and maintenance were done within one business day, which blew me away. The prices were competitive especially considering they only use OEM parts. I highly recommend Japanese Auto for any work you need done to your Japanese vehicle.
Great guys with fair pricing. Obviously they specialize in Japanese made cars but the staff is All-American. They pros and friendly. The Best outside of Costco.
Great service, great price, and great results. Highly recommend.
This is the best place to get my Acura mdx fix. They are amazing, the service is the best, the prices are good. They communicate with you for all the repair journey. I love them. They have taken care of my MDX for 3 years now, best repair shop around. THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF MY CAR. ❤
I love my 02 Tacoma TRD Off-Road and take it to JAR for all repairs. Everyone is very professional and they take time to teach you about whatever service youre interested in. They dont try to upsell you and Ive never been pressured into getting work done that I didnt actually need. You pay for quality work, timeliness, and good customer service and its very worth it.
I have been using JAR for the past 4 years. I bring both my vehicles in and have received wonderful service. The staff is excellent and knowledgeable. I have saved a lot of money compared to dealership prices. I have in most cases received better care for my vehicles at JAR. Keep up the great work.I would like to add that, now during the COVID pandemic, JAR has gone above and beyond to make sure their customers and employees are safe in common areas.
Everyone at JAR is helpful and courteous. I was able to make a same day appointment and they finished everything in one day. They called to discuss any recommended services based on inspection and offer clear advice on what repairs are most urgent. I never feel pressured to purchase additional services that may not be needed and I can tell that their suggestions are based on my individual needs.
This was my first time at this shop. I went to this place for wheel alignment on Aug 14,2020 because my car went to the left almost all the time. They charged $94.93,which was reasonable if they did their job but nothing changed. my car still went to the left. When I called them and complained of this, a man there said that alignment was hard for them because there was a rusty part and it might not be alignment itself but something else. Then he said that a tie rod should be replaced for the next wheel alignment costing me $976.Its ok if my car operates properly now after their alignment but they didnt align the wheel. They should have told me if they couldnt align the wheel and charged me only for diagnosis.So I went to another shop for wheel alignment on Aug 24. A technician there said that he couldnt align the wheel because of the rusted tie rod and stopped trying to align the wheel further. He just charged me $30 because he didnt align the wheel. This is fair enough and I thank him for his honesty. Stay away from Japanese Auto Repair.You better not believe these all positive comments for this shop.Update:Japanese auto repair didnt even ask me to sit in the car before alignment,which is dishonest and very unprofessional while the other shop did. All I did at Japanese auto repair was to wait outside for nothing on a hot summer day.
I recently took both my vehicles. Patrick is awesome, helped me understand various services, recommend the right services needed and never pushes for ones not required.
Great, friendly and super fast service! Will recommend and use again!
Very fair pricing and no pressure. Second time I’ve used this shop for major work and they will be my go to from now on for my Lexus GX470 services and maintenance!
Great customer service focus. Clean organized shop.
This was a great experience. I usually do my own maintenance, but I wanted to leave the bigger, timing belt job to the pros. Well these guys are the pros I needed. On top of that the prices were fair. They called me all during the process and we actually ended up fixing a couple of leaks while everything was apart that would have been expensive and difficult to get to later. The van is running great now and theres been no issues with their repair whatsoever. They even helped me get the right parts for a repair I wanted to do myself. I will be taking my vehicles to them on a regular basis from now on. For the big stuff, anyway 😉.
Japanese Auto Repair Shop is a great place to have your car repaired. My car was towed to the shop with major rear end damage. I spoke with Patrick and he was very knowledgeable and caring. He explained everything to me in a way that I would understand the diagnosis. Patrick kept me well informed on the repairs and also looked out for me. If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy, honest and all out great repair shop than JAR is the place for you. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
Wonderful and prompt staff! Always going above and beyond for the repairs and any needs. Shuttle provided if needed. Coffee, water, soda while you wait. Clean bathroom.
They swiftly and confidently diagnosed the problems and solved them on our Jeep Grand Cherokee. We didnt have an appointment and that was no problem whatsoever. Patrick was absolutely wonderful, extremely knowledgeable and incredibly helpful and patient. He didnt try to upsell at all which I greatly appreciate. They take the time and patience to explain things and answer any and all questions. All employees are extremely nice, courteous, professional, upfront and honest and its the cleanest garage Ive ever seen. We will definitely be back.
Joshs customer service is stellar; the repair team is like a well-oiled engine; theyre knowledgeable and professional. I got my vehicle back in less time than they estimated.
Got a diagnostic test done on a used Lexus I wanted to purchase. Patrick was sooo helpful!! After Patrick check out the car and gave me his honest feedback, I was comfortable with making the decision to buy the used car and Im so happy with my decision. Great customer service!! Would definitely recommend them. Also, my diagnostic check was cheaper at Japanese Auto than the other mechanic shop I inquired at first
They service my vehicle quickly and professionally at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them.
I have been a customer of JAR for more than 20 years.They took care of my previous cars with dedication and professionalism regardles if it is Japanese or any other make. Now my BMW. I would not let any other shop touch it, becuse I have ful trust to JAR especially Raymond. He knows the blue prints and the law of physics. Not many mechanical specialist has it both.If you add their kindness and friendliness what else do you need from your car shop. May be some qality coffee.They have it too.
They Cared about doing the job right. And the were professional from the beginning to the end. They are not close or convenient to my location, but certainly worth the time it took to get to them.
It is a good team professionals. They provide dealership level of vehicle care without breaking the bank. I will highly recommend them. Best
They are a professionally run shop. They have good scheduling tool. Prices are reasonable and for Toyota vehicles they know what they are doing. So far no complaints.
We have been taking our cars to JAR for 5+ years. Front desk staff great to deal with. Mechanics qualified & thorough. They actually show you worn/broken parts that need to be replaced. JAR beats dealer prices every time. Our service consultant Patrick Elbaum does all he can to get repair costs down. Great small business!
Patrick offers some of the best customer service I have ever seen! This shop is 110% honest with you on what could be wrong with your car. I came in thinking that my car had an issue with CV axles and they did a full check on my car and noticed that the tires are the issue. They could have easily sold me new axles and tires but the axle had no issue.Thank you for being a trust worthy shop and keep up the great work!
Installed the ABS brake accuator, where no other machanic would.
Excellent customer service and very timely!
We found JAR a few months ago and are so thankful we did! They are professional and do quality work for a fair price! We won’t take our cars anywhere else!
Had to replace my suspension bag for my Lexus gx470 and they even let me bring my own parts and only charged for the labor! Since then I’ve been going here for my vehicle maintenance. Friendly and professional staffs. Btw I usually never leave reviews but this place is exceptional :)
JAR did everything asked in a friendly and efficient manner. Thats why Im arepeat customer.
JAR provided me with an incredible experience. The professionalism, cordiality, quality alone of the staff sold me. I came to them because I was in need of some midly extensive repairs and didnt desire to be at a dealership... From the beginning they kept in communication about my vehicle, confirmed my idea of what was the trouble and looked out for me when I feared the most. They even demolished the time predicted to fix my car. Patrick helped as much as he could in the areas he was able to, which put the icing on the cake for how great their service truly is. The greatest part is that my brakes work strikingly similar to new, so Im a happy man. If you drive an import or even domestic ( because they can handle that too ), give them a call when youre in need.
Great service and pricing.
Very clean business that takes extra care in ensuring the facility was clean! Reasonable and fair prices. Excellent communication ! Definitely would recommend!
I love JAR!! They are profession, work was done to my satisfaction. The waiting room is great with coffee, water, wifi; all things I needed as I brought my laptop to get work done. The staff is awesome!! I will be using them for my auto needs as they beat the dealership process and the level of service is the same as the dealership. They even have a courtesy shuttle to take drop you off and pick you back up if you cant wait.
These guys are very thorough and professional. Always sharing details which I really appreciate because I am pretty limited in my knowledge of cars
My car was having a hard time starting. Brought it into JAR for a diagnosis and they determined it was a bad battery. Patrick was extremely helpful and the repair was done quickly.
This is the first time I have brought my Lexus to a place other than the dealership. I was looking for a place that was more personable, and I experienced exactly that. Coming from an engineering background, I wanted to speak to the technician and pick his brain a little bit before he worked on my car. Kenneth Martin is very knowledgeable and was able to inform me of the specifics of my vehicle. He knows his stuff! I’ve had my car back for 2 weeks now and have had zero issues. And even if I did, I’m very confident that they would make sure it’s taken care of. These guys are great! Ask for Kenneth!
