Frequently asked questions
Will servicing my new Mazda at A+ Auto Repair void my warranty?
No. Federal law, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, lets you have your Mazda maintained at any qualified shop without affecting your factory warranty. What matters is that the work follows Mazda's maintenance schedule and specs and that you keep records, and we give you a detailed record of every service.
What kind of parts do you use on Mazda's?
We use genuine Mazda parts or OE-quality parts from the same companies that build parts for Mazda. We match every part to your vehicle's exact specifications. If you prefer genuine Mazda parts for a repair, just ask and we will quote them.
How long will my repair take?
Most routine maintenance, like an oil change, tire rotation or brake inspection, is done the same day, often within a couple of hours.
Larger repairs such as a timing belt, transmission work or engine diagnostics can take one to several days, depending on the job and parts availability. We’ll give you a time estimate before we start and keep you updated along the way. We offer a free shuttle, loaner vehicles and free pickup and dropoff so you’re never stuck waiting on your car.

What your neighbors say
We're grateful to have over 2,000 positive reviews from the community.
This is my first time going to A+ Japanese Auto Repair and I plan to return for other car repair/maintenance services. I appreciate the total transparency and honesty. The complementary ride to and from the shop is extremely helpful. As a bonus they have loyal rewards program and all work is backed by a warranty which they explain what it is. The staff is friendly and answer questions that you have.

Took my 19 year old Tacoma to A+ Japanese Auto based on the reviews. I knew it needed a 150K service, and they suggested an inspection along with an oil change so they could determine what services were needed. The front office staff was exceptional from the time I made my appointment, arrived to the shop, and discussed the recommended repairs. The technicians took detailed photos shown me by my service provider. She explained all of the details regarding the repairs necessay and helped categorize the repairs based on safety. I was very impressed with this level of service, and highly recommend this business.

OUR STORY
Family owned since 1997
The founder of A+ came to the United States from Turkey and started out as a bicycle mechanic, then spent years as a head technician at a dealership. In 1997, in his mid-40s, he opened A+ Japanese Auto Repair in San Carlos. It was a family affair from the first day.
