Jap Tech

I brought my 2003 Honda Accord in for several issues I have been dealing with, plus I was planning a road trip and wanted safe trouble-​free driving. They did a great check up on my car and a tune up. Howard, the owner, also made sure the mechanic was working on my car for specific problems. They also advised me that I had one really bad tire that needed to be replaced right away. My tires were really worn down and they were horrible tires to begin with (stay away from Fuzion tires). I had ordered a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paws from Walmart a couple of days ago and was waiting for their arrival.
I got the impression that they were very honest with me in what needed to be done for my car. I have a slow oil leak from the rear main seal and they advised me not to fix it since it’s a very expensive repair. One other shop wanted $ 600 and Jap Tech quoted $ 900 since they would have to remove the transmission to fix that leak. Anyways, I am happy to check my oil every couple of weeks, and if my transmission ever goes out on me, they would then fix that particular oil leak. I also called before I came in and it was not early in the morning and they advised me to come in anyways and that I would have to wait awhile. It was worth the wait. Right before I left, I got a message that Walmart had my new tires ready to install. Since I had the new tires installed and Jap Tech worked on my car, my car is driving like a charm. I will definitely go back there for future work on my Honda. I would like to add that I did business with them down in the Kendall area off of Bird Road for many years back in the 1990’s.

Sorry Unilocalies buttttt I beg to differ. I came here to fix my AC, because let’s face it it’s south florida and we can’t survive 20 mins without it. Well my family has been coming here for years (probably more than 8 years) so when my AC broke my dad suggested to bring it here.
To begin with, yes Orlando is extremely nice and helpful and they do fix your car but the reason I am giving them two stars is pricing. Just to check what was wrong with my car I had to pay $ 50 and by checking what was wrong I mean they put colored water in my AC unit and just look for leaks. BOOM! $ 50 bucks for that.
Fine turns out I needed a new compressor, crap! What’s the damage?! $ 1,040 (ball park) my heart freaking dropped, my dad explained to me that yes usually to fix and order a new compressor it could cost that much. I refused to believe that and made a phone call to a well connected friend. Long story short I got my whole AC compressor, in a different shop, brand new out of the box installed for $ 485!!! That is less than freaking half!!!
Granted, you will probably not find the price I paid because I did have a great connection or «hook up» as the kids call it these days, but that just comes to prove that the cost of labor here is jacked up! I was able to see what the actual part cost and noticed that the price of labor alone was about $ 600. That’s A LOT.
So in the end of the day Orlando is awesome, they will find and fix the problem but before you sign any papers shop around.
P.s– two people told me that their mechanics don’t charge to find the problem, even the guy who did end up fixing my car told me that’s not right he would have told me that I needed a new compressor for free. So I lost 50 bucks.

Excellent service. They try to save you money anywhere they can. A truly honest shop. They also have a 5% back rewards program.

The only mechanic who touches the Hondas I own which is all my family drives. First met Howard the owner 30 years ago when dealer wanted to charge me 300+ to repair my cruise control. In for a standard oil change later at JT, told Howard when checking out. He went out to my car and adjusted it under the dash for free. Many many stories I could tell like this. Absolutely the best, honest and reasonably priced period.

Wow! Jap Tech used to have a shop in the Bird Road area of Kendall a few years ago. I couldn’t find the shop. Little did I know that they closed the shop down but open another shop in the Hollywood/​Pines area. I was a little worried about coming in because I had always took the vehicle to the dealer for service. I was blown away by the service that I receive here. No pressure whatsoever on what you need or don’t need. They gave a detailed service plan and concerns that the tech observed. I have already recommended a friend about this shop. Oh yeah, the prices were pretty good as well.

Been coming here for years. I first found this place when the dealer wanted to charge me $ 355 for a power steering pump and the guys at JapTech said it would only cost me $ 35 dollars for a new seal! I could go on and on of the money saved and honest advice they always give me. Howard, George and Orlando are always great.
Finding honest reasonable mechanics are very hard to find and trust me you’ll be happy with the folks at JapTech

I love this place! Orlando & Jorge are the absolute best & always extremely helpful! I wouldn’t take my ’03 Accord anywhere else!!! I even referred my mom here as well.

My whole family drives hondas. The only mechanic we trust with our cars is japtech. Never had a bad experience. They are very honest, they don’t try to sell you something you don’t need. And now they are also servicing toyota. would recommend to anyone.

I happen to stumble across this place after looking for a trusted shop to fix my Honda. They couldn’t be anymore helpful and even fixed my car on a Friday with only 2 hours away from closing. They even called me to let me know the price was going to be over the quote they gave me. On top of all this they have a sweet rewards program which gives you cash to use on next purchases. I highly recommend this shop over going to the «stealer-​ship». The customer service is amazing and they don’t give you the run around with prices. If you have a Japanese car that needs to be fixed I HIGHLY recommend Jap Tech.

The garage has everything you want: a courteous staff, thorough with their estimates, and TRUTHFUL! I would highly recommend them to anybody with a Honda, Acura, or Toyota. I will definitely be going back for my car needs
