Trustworthy. Honest. Fair. that's how I describe this shop so I'm not sure about the some of the reviews here and other similar rating sites but I need to say that I have been a repeat customer for over 30 years and there is no other mechanic I trust more than Mr Audie and his wife keeps the business running smoothly. I bring all my cars here and so does my family and friends for many years

My son had his car in another shop a few weeks ago for maintenance and a starting problem when hot. The other shop performed the maintenance however they could not diagnose the starting problem. They suggested my son take the car to a specialty shop. Since I am out of state, I used google to find a shop that I was comfortable with. I found Japanese Auto Care to have excellent ratings. My son brought the car to the shop. At first they were unable to find the starting problem, however, they continued to investigate. They were finally able to diagnose the problem and do the repairs. They also found that the oil was overfilled by the previous shop by 1/2 a quart. I spoke with Carlene many times over the phone and explained the situation to her. Carlene was fantastic. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Japanese Auto Care. I am grateful for everything they did to help out with my son's car.

I just had the most fantastic experience at Japanese Auto Care South. Wife's car, a 2016 Accura where had the A/C blower stop working. I tried the easy stuff relay, fuse checks, and all looked good. Found this place online after a bit of research looking for Honda/Accura specialists. Well, my story is that the A/C ended up getting fixed on the way. It could be one of those dips and potholes on the way that must have kicked it back to work. Well, it was Carlene that we had spoken with that called us back to let us know the A/C was working. Any other place would have charged me and told me they had fixed or swapped out a part. I FINALLY have found the HONEST repair shop I plan to go to for years. I had to share as this is so rare nowadays. Thanks, Carlene!

I live in Hawaii, my friend and her Honda reside in Miami. I looked on Yelp for a mechanic who speaks Honda and found this place on Yelp. I called them on the phone just to set up the relationship and I can tell from the first minute on the phone with the lady who answered that this was THE place. My friend brought her Honda there, and not only was service exceptional on the price rate but they recommended other places for alignment wheel balancing etc Five stars, five stars, five stars

This individual Audie is a true character. I have been collecting cars since I was 16 have owned over 250 different ones and have extensive knowledge about them. I brought my 1997 Acura RL for an egr port and intake passage cleaning and he checks out the car comes back into the office half an hour later and says it's fixed. He then walked with me to the car and sat down and states that he raised my idle via the idle screw. He then tells his wife to charge me $85 for turning the screw. I advise him that the car is still idling rough and then he does the oldest trick in the mechanic books says "it's the mounts". Lol my car's mounts are fine. This guy has been at this shop for 30 years.. Why he treated me like pure garbage idk maybe he wasn't in a good mood that day. Ever since he advanced the idle by adjusting the idle screw my car has been terrible in gas still has rough idle and the check engine light is back on with the exact same error code p0401. If you speak to any Acura/Honda mechanic and tell him u changed your egr valve and are still getting the same code they will guarantee you that it's the egr port and intake passages that need cleaning. I thought these people at this shop would be good people them being Japanese and all but oh boy was I wrong. This lazy guy by the name of "Audie" would much rather cash out $85 for turning a screw than have to remove the intake manifold and do the proper repair. I've tried calling the shop back a few times and I'm sure the minute they see Michael Jackson pop up in their caller ID they purposefully don't answer. Thank you Audie and Wife for making it clear to me that no mechanic is a good honest one in this day and age. I will never step foot in this place again. This man blindly robbed me and enjoyed it. I hope it was well worth it. Ladies and gentleman if you're one bit intelligent please steer clear of this place.

My car was having a ton of issues so I took it here because of the great reviews and the fact that it is family owned and operated. Amazing customer service from the wonderful Heline at the front desk, who made me aware of everything being done and was patient and kind. Amazing work done by her husband on my car, he also explained some things to me so that I could take better care of her (my car). They are extremely fast and reasonable, my car had a ton of issues and they were all resolved in less than 24 hours. I am so grateful to them and will be going back if I have anymore issues.

I have been going to Japanese Auto Care South for 17 years (maybe more). As I am writing this I can't believe it's been that long. I don't trust anyone else but Audie and his team. My husband even kept going back and forth and I said stick with Audie and he has for 9 years. If I could give ten stars on this rating, I would!! Audie has stayed late to assist me with my car troubles. He is reliable, trustworthy, and honest. No other than Japanese Auto Care South. Trust me!

My van broke down and we called for a tow, Fishers talked my wife into letting them check it out and possibly fix it, they charged 90.00 which is reasonable for the tow, they supposedly checked out the van and said $1300.00 to replace alternator and battery, I said no, they were very disrespectful to my wife when she told them, charged another 90.00 to bring it back and$130.00 to supposedly check it, the alternator was fine, just had a wire off that was easily seen by just op

This is the only place I will take my Honda for service. It is a small, efficient shop run and managed by Audie and his wife and son. They are always so friendly and helpful. Most importantly, they care about their customers. The go above and beyond to provide good service and make sure your car is safe and ready to drive, but they don't overcharge you or try to convince you that your car needs 15 different items repaired every time you go in. I am so glad I found this shop!

Quality might be good, but the price appears not any cheaper than a typical Toyota or Honda dealer:* Synthetic oil change for my 6 cylinder van for $70* A battery replacement with 2 year warranty/3 year proration for $141.5* $40 diagnosis fee for deciding if the starter/alternator are working.Will see how they do in future.

We had taken my wife's car to about 10 different mechanics in this area, including the dealership several times, to try and fix a rumbling problem in the front axel. None of them knew how to fix it, but instead tried to sell us a bunch of needless repairs that we didn't want. We happened to have an overheating problem one day up by these guys, so we had the car towed there. Wow!! I'll never use another repair shop here in Miami Dade. Not only did they fix the overheating issue, but they knew exactly what the rumble noise was from that we had been trying to get fixed for nearly two years. These guys were super knowledgeable, very friendly, and come with very reasonable prices.If you have a Honda or any Japanese vehicle that needs some work, definitely go by these guys first! They will tell you exactly what the problem is, breakdown the costs, and if possible give you other options that aren't as expensive. You can tell just by talking to them that they know exactly what they're doing...a very rare find in Miami! Well done guys!! You just got a customer for life!
