Japanese Auto Care South

Not sure about the other reviews but I need to say that I have been a repeat customer for over 30 years and there is no other mechanic I trust more than Mr Audie and his wife keeps the business running smoothly. I bring all my cars here and so does my family and friends for many years

This individual Audie is a true character. I have been collecting cars since I was 16 have owned over 250 different ones and have extensive knowledge about them. I brought my 1997 Acura RL for an egr port and intake passage cleaning and he checks out the car comes back into the office half an hour later and says it’s fixed. He then walked with me to the car and sat down and states that he raised my idle via the idle screw. He then tells his wife to charge me $85 for turning the screw. I advise him that the car is still idling rough and then he does the oldest trick in the mechanic books says “it’s the mounts”. Lol my car’s mounts are fine. This guy has been at this shop for 30 years.. Why he treated me like pure garbage idk maybe he wasn’t in a good mood that day. Ever since he advanced the idle by adjusting the idle screw my car has been terrible in gas still has rough idle and the check engine light is back on with the exact same error code p0401. If you speak to any Acura/Honda mechanic and tell him u changed your egr valve and are still getting the same code they will guarantee you that it’s the egr port and intake passages that need cleaning. I thought these people at this shop would be good people them being Japanese and all but oh boy was I wrong. This lazy guy by the name of “Audie” would much rather cash out $85 for turning a screw than have to remove the intake manifold and do the proper repair. I’ve tried calling the shop back a few times and I’m sure the minute they see Michael Jackson pop up in their caller ID they purposefully don’t answer. Thank you Audie and Wife for making it clear to me that no mechanic is a good honest one in this day and age. I will never step foot in this place again. This man blindly robbed me and enjoyed it. I hope it was well worth it. Ladies and gentleman if you’re one bit intelligent please steer clear of this place.

My prius car suddenly stall during driving. so I towed my car to this store as towing company said it is closest mechanic. It is the first time I visit it.

I dropped the car at parking, the front desk told me I had to wait for 30-60 minutes before they can check,as every body is busy. I thought I could seek a second opinion during waiting since one mechanic told me over the phone there might be some complicated circuit problems. so I went to another store right next to do it for checkup. after 30 minutes I came back asking for this guy's diagnostic checking up. one old guy came in and yelled at me: questioning me why I went to his neighbor store. I had no clue why he is so rude and mad at me. I understand he hate his competitor. But I am the customer,I had every right to seek various opinions before I make a decision.

The old guy told me he was the store owner and major engineer. apparently he is senseless and still need to learn how to treat his customer from ABC. I will be very surprised he know how to repair a relatively complicated car problem, as he even can't figure out the simplest mechanism related with his customer.

I will let all friends around me how bad this store is

Audie has been "my mechanic" for over 20 years!  I wouldn't go to anyone else in all of Miami.  He is honest, efficient, and trustworthy.  He even tells me when something is "going" on the car, so I can begin to prepare for possible costs.  When it's time to trade in my vehicle, he always tells me whether it's worth it to fix something or whether he thinks it's time to sell [I usually keep all my cars at least 10 years]. If you want someone to fix it right "the FIRST time" Audie is the guy to see!
