testimonials
"Have been coming here for years. Great service, never a song and dance or unnecessary repairs. They vacuum your car and clean it up before returning it too. Very reliable, highly recommended. "
"Another fantastic experience with Nippon European Motors! This time I had Tom replace the transmission on my car, which is a very big repair. My car now runs better than ever and I know that Tom gave me a very fair price. I always trust his judgment about my car, and he is incredibly careful and thorough. Tom even drove around in the car with me to make sure everything felt okay. I feel so lucky to have found such a great, reliable place to take my car (based on the recommendation of my cousins who have been going to Nippon European Motors for 25 years!! Thank you Tom and everyone at Nippon!! "
"I can't understand why anyone would give Tom a bad review. My mom and I have been taking our cars to him for the last 20 years, literally. I live in SF now but I wouldn't take a car to anyone else. As I type this he just fixed my breaks and did a tune-up, AND took my car to a shop down the block to get it smog certified. I told him I could only afford $500 this time, but get more work done in two weeks, so even though the work came to $650 he's going to let me pay the lesser amount now and the rest the next time I get work done. I mean, c'mon. Who else would do that? He's thorough, does good work, works with clients well and is always honest and up front. In short, he's pure awesome. I feel pretty lucky to have a mechanic I can trust! "
Reviews
Excellent service and work, great people.
I always get prompt and thorough service at a fair price at Nippon European Motors. My 1981 Datsun Longbed pickup would be in a junkyard without them
Tom & Ronnie are the best at what they do !!
Nippon European Motors great! Service is always efficient, and the customer service is impeccable!
Excellent customer service! I was visiting from out of town and recently had an issue with our car left locally. Needed it checked prior to driving out of town with family. Staff quickly understood, immediately placed our SUV on the lift and diagnosed the issue. Great customer care and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone!
Tom and his team are efficient, thorough and a pleasure to work with always! Wouldn't take my car anywhere else!
My go-to place for auto servicing for some 40 years. Knowledgeable and efficient staff and consistently excellent work, honest and friendly and reliable. Highest recommendations. My cars have "survived" for many more years than expected because of the care of Tom Inthawong and his staff.
I brought my 2000 Volvo S70 in here to get diagnosed when my check engine light started blinking. The cost for this diagnosis was over $100 less than what another shop had quoted me (good start). Once the diagnosis was complete they quoted me a fair price for the repairs. Since the car was so old and would be needing a timing belt replaced in the near future (which Nippon also confirmed for me), I decided not to have the work done and move on to a new vehicle. They were very understanding of my situation and even allowed me to keep the car there for a few days while I figured out where I was going to have it towed. Fair prices, honesty, and courtesy... This is a great shop and I would recommend them to anyone.
Ronnie was extraordinarily polite and informative. Definitely going to be a repeat customer.
Honest shop. I went in the because the maintenance light required light was on in my car. They said the light goes on based on mileage and the quick oil change place probably just forgot to reset it and they reset it for free
After speaking with Tom once i knew this is where i want to take my VW.. No nonsense no games. Thanks Tom.
Over 10 years service from Nippon Motors I can tell you Tom is fair, honest and faithful to excellent mechanical repair on my Honda! I am highly recommending Nippon European Motors.
I took an 11 year old car to Nippon and owner Tom said he could keep it running for me. And he did, for an additional 15 years. I've always had speedy, top notch service with Nippon. I've referred a number of friends to them. All the individuals who work there are knowledgeable, concerned, and helpful. I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.
Nippon is fast, very friendly and have competitive prices. Tom has told me NOT to fix things which I take as a good sign. Because I've done business with them over the years Tom or one of his mechanics will deal with little "pains in the" on the spot, usually for no charge if it's just some kind of adjustment. This place has been around a long time and they do know their cars - most are Japanese but they did a fine job tending to an old Buick of mine. This is the kind of experience that shows small business at its best. Definite thumbs up.
