TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"They have never let me down!

I've been coming to Japanese Engine for about 3yrs now for a variety of car troubles and they have never let me down. They are honest and true to their work. They never start a project without the owner's consent and always perform exemplary work. He's even gone above and beyond to look over the rest of the engine and inform me of other potential issues my vehicle may encounter. Great service, very helpful, and well timed project completion.

"Highly recommend this"

I absolutely love the family at JEI Japanese Engine. I was out of town watching a friend's house over Halloween and I needed to get my clock spring fixed on my car to pass inspection. Not only did I feel safe taking my car to their shop but they communicated with me the whole way what the process of the work and the estimated cost of repairs. Their technician has been working on Japanese cars for 30 years and is so quick and knowledgeable about cars. I tried to do some repairs myself and the technician was super encouraging that I tried. Y'all make me wanna cry with how kind you all were. This would be my home auto shop if I lived in San Antonio. If you have a japanese car 10/10 this is your shop, don't look anywhere else.
