Sending my BRZ to Naoto was such a good decision! I came in twice. First visit, he installed 1" Tein H. Tech lowering springs and 20mm Noble Performance Spacers on my 18" stock wheels. Second visit he installed new Enkei T6S wheels on my BRZ! He took my stock tires and mounted them onto the new wheels with no issues.I bought and brought the parts, did my research to make sure they would all fit, and Naoto handled everything else when it came to installing them! I love the new look!Naoto is such a friendly and knowledgeable mechanic! He used to race cars back in Japan so I trust him completely with what needs to be done and reccomendations on my sports car.I left all my parts in the shop's garage. Came back a week later and everything was still there ready to be installed. Got every replaced part back, no missing parts, and nothing was damaged. Naoto even sent me images of the progress so I didn't have to wait in the garage for hours.The prices were reasonable. He told me upfront what it will cost and sticks to the price. I needed to pay extra for parts I didn't have, but he told me that from the start that it was going to be a possibility.Also, on another note. My car drives better after all the installed parts! Felt slightly faster, and more responsive despite no HP gains. I was not expecting a noticable difference especially from these type of car mods. But somehow I did.So next visit I asked Naoto if he did anything extra to the car.Naoto never answered my question but he did respond with a nice warm laugh.Service: Tires

absolutely the worst mechanic that I've ever dealt with. I took my Mazda in about a year ago to have all mounts changed. When I got my car back it was an absolute mess. My car starts shaking violently when in reverse and also bangs when shifting gears. All signs of a bad mount. When I took it back he gave me a disgusting look like why the hell are you here. He instantly told me it was my transmission and I need to flush it. Without checking a damn thing. I've taken my car to other places and they all say the mount was installed wrong but I wont go back to this horrible mechanic to even touch my car. Don't be fooled by these comments. This guy is the worst

Naoto is a amazing mechanic. I have been visiting the shop for nearly 20 years and it is always a pleasure to bring my vehicle in. He is great at troubleshooting and goes out of his way to treat all of his customers with care and honesty.

Naoto is extremely friendly, knowledgable, fair and expedient in his work. He's kept my 95 4Runner and 07 Prius in tip top shape.

Very nice people!!!! Pure Japanese, expert in any kind of cars, Cheaper than any auto repair shop, Honest to goodness! I brought my car at toyota of Glendale first, because I saw an oil dripping under the engine of my car, and the service guy told me 30 minutes after that the power steering high pressure hose was leaking,, they charged me for $800. And I said that s too much and I took my car back and driving around to look for another auto shop and I found this Samurai auto shop in fletcher drive in Atwater area, they checked the car and the Japanese mechanic and also the owner said it s the high pressure hose was leaking, he gave me the price for $300 for everything, I said wow!! This is a lot cheaper than anywhere, the good thing also they re accepting credit/ debit, or cash if you have more cash in the bank, Excellent!!
