What makes does A+ service?

All of them. We service all makes and models, from Toyota, Honda and Subaru to Ford, Chevy, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai and Kia. Our roots are in Japanese vehicles, and we bring that same dealer-level care to every car that comes through our doors.

Do hybrids need oil changes?

Yes. Your hybrid still has a gas engine, and it needs clean oil just like any other car. Because the engine shuts off often and runs at lower temperatures, many hybrids use a thinner synthetic oil, and using the wrong oil can hurt fuel economy. Most hybrids need an oil change every 5,000. We’ll use the exact oil your manufacturer specifies and check your hybrid system while your car is here.

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.

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.
