SATO Auto Repair

I cannot recommend Sato auto-repair enough. When I had multiple repairs needed for my old 2007 subaru Sato was great at walking me through the different options and their estimated cost, knowing that I am a student with limited funds. Sato also helped me when while purchasing a new car when the subaru was no longer able to be driven and helped me avoid buying a potential lemon. If you have a Japanese car Sato auto repair is one of the best places to get it repaired and serviced!

Brought my 2019 Honda H-RV for a 90k mile service. Got a few quotes from other shops and the local Honda dealership. SATO beat em by a few hundred. Same day turn around. Staff was friendly. Office is a little tight so maybe wait outside if you see someone else at the desk. Didn't seem like too much to do around thats walkable but with the money saved uber/Lyft was more than doable

Highly recommend them. They did a great job replacing my transmission in just 2 days. They are also very honest and repairs are reasonably priced

Shigeya and his team are the nicest bunch of guys I've ever encountered when having my car fixed. They do great work, they do it quickly, and their prices are totally reasonable. No b.s. or double talk about needing repairs to things that actually don't need repairing. They just do their work well with the highest integrity. Recommended!

The same guy who answers the phone is the same guy diagnosing the car. He’s not even a mechanic. All they did was lift my car, look around, talk amongst themselves, and lowered it. It took 10 mins and the phone guy quoted me thousands of dollars of repairs to fix the issue I had. I asked him how they knew these issues without touching the car and he said it’s a very common issue. Massive red flag 🚩. I ended up doing the work myself and the issue wasn’t anything the guy said it was! The guys strategy to fixing things is loading up the parts cannon looking for a pay day and not actually finding the issue first. Also they wanted to charge me more money for parts because they use “OEM”. That’s fine but when I asked to see the OEM part numbers listed on the quote he said he can’t do that. This place might be good for simple fixes but for anything that takes a professional to accurately diagnose, I’d go somewhere else. Any mechanic that can conjure the solution on your car, without touching it, is a red flag 🚩
