Placentia Auto Repair

Great Job

We’ve been going here for years (two Toyotas) Very accommodating, customer oriented, professional staff and ownership. Importantly, they stand by their service. I recommend this shop.

Very pleased with the service

It is hard to find a reliable auto repair shop that not only does the regular maintainance but also looks at how the car is running to address possible future problems. The fact that I would drive my 2014 car accross country and not worry about any car problems says a lot about Tatsu and the expert people working with him.

Tatsu and Candace are very courteous and professional. The shop does a good job documenting all their findings and work and presents them in a report via email. I highly recommend taking your Japanese car for service or repair here.

Copied from my Yelp review: Tatsu & team always take care of my Mazda CX-5. I've only been coming here for over a year but their attention to detail and willingness to communicate with us regarding any/all issues is to be admired and appreciated. I especially want to thank Aki for allowing me to come pick up my car a few minutes after closing time. We all have busy lives and it's always tough to run these types of errands, but I really appreciated him making an exception for me this one occurrence because I was having a pretty difficult day, otherwise. He also recommended that I address a gasket leak with the dealer since it's technically still under warranty. Other places would probably try to milk this service for themselves, so I appreciated the tip. Thank you again, Aki, Tatsu, and team!

Tatsu and his team at Tokyo Automotive will go the extra mile to make sure that your car is well taken care of. I brought my car in for some gear oil replacement and Tatsu recommended that other work be attended to. I drive an 02 Subaru Impreza WRX and the team at Tokyo Automotive replaced a front wheel bearing, axel, hub and a few other things. The parts took a while to come in but Tatsu paid for my rental car while they came in. When I got my car back I was very happy with the way my car performed and some miscellaneous noises that had been driving me mad were also no longer there. I think they tightened up my parking break cable as well! All and all I would highly recommend the shop. Tatsu and his family have been in the business for years and their approach to automotive repair and costumer service will keep customers coming back. I will continue to bring my car here for future work. They may not be the cheapest place but it’s hard to argue with the warranty they provide and the confidence you will have in your vehicle once you drive it off the lot.

Got my 2002 Toyota Tacoma back up and running in two days. Purrs like a cat, rather than like a bulldog with laryngitis. Service is prompt and thorough.

Professional and friendly staff. Candace clearly explained the results of the health check and gave details on what needs to be done. The car was ready at the time promised. I will definitely come back for next scheduled maintenance service.

Great experience and able to fix what seemed like an impossibly hard wheel issue. Will definitely be going back for any future work and recommending to friends and family. Thanks!
