Recommended Japanese Auto Repair

Recently, when I take my car to an authorized dealer
for regular maintenance,
I feel like I am being ripped off by the dealer.
Well, it is a big problem in Japan now, but
I still feel some resistance when I am told by Americans.
I also feel uncomfortable taking them to Latino and Korean factories in the suburbs of LA.
I know there are several Japanese repair shops around Torrance, but
do you have any recommendations?
There are a lot of information in magazines, etc. and I am quite worried.
If there are any reliable repair shops near LA, please exchange information.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

Everything I am saying is my personal opinion.
If you want to go to a private repair shop, go.If you want to buy cheap parts, buy them.
It's your money.
Spend it as you like.
For me, my car is my foot in the door.
If I can't go to work, I lose money.
It's like paying a little more for peace of mind.
I wonder who is repairing and driving the cars I have given away so far ? wThis text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I still don't feel comfortable taking it to Latino or Korean town factories near LA. Instead of thinking
it can be a plus if you think about it because of the large population and competition.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I have a simple question, but don't you think the aftermarket is like used products or some kind of backroom deal ? The aftermarket is the market after the product is sold. In other words, the repair department of a dealership is also a part of the aftermarket.
> That's why we give our cars away after 5-6 years.
I think that's good. If you can afford it, that would be ideal. It's always close to a new car.I'm not a rich man, so I'm a car guy who keeps one car for a long time. My current Toyota is 20 years old and has 170,000 miles on it. I take it to a private store and recently paid about 400 $ for a sensor replacement but no major repairs. I consider it more economical than giving it away in 5-6 years. This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation.

To each his own
OEM is a genuine part made by Denso, for example, under contract with Toyota.
And you can't buy those OEM parts except from dealers.
The same Denso also sells parts in the aftermarket.
In that case, unlike OEM, the package and number are different.
You can still trust Denso and Hitachi, but the aftermarket is a bit more complicated.
Cheap aftermarket parts are made in large quantities, so there is no such thing as quality control.
Japanese performance aftermarket is a different story.
For example, HKS, TEIN, TRD, Apex, Rays, Mugen, etc.
But performance aftermarket parts are more expensive than stock.
By the way, I was a tuner when I was a student. w
Most private repair stores make their profit by buying the cheapest parts possible.
And when that car breaks down, customers come back to the same repair shop again because they think it is cheaper.I used to work for one of the manufacturers, so I can easily see that the same parts are completely different. Even the same sushi will be different at a restaurant that is particular about what they do and at a restaurant where some strange person is making the sushi.
It is similar to that.
And old cars can be driven for a long time as long as they are repaired.
Modern cars are hybrids or turbos.
Hybrids are battery life.
Battery replacement is not cheap.
Turbo cars will ruin the turbo bearings after about 70,000 miles.
Just replacing the turbo will cost about $ 3500.
So it will be impossible to drive a car for more than 10 years from now on.
Even if you replace the battery and turbo in a hybrid, other parts will break.
Now the new Thundra is a twin turbo V6, not a V8.
other 3 and 4 turbo's are the worst.
You can't even try to drive it for 10 years.
It will be repaired forever, so it's not worth it.
That's why I buy a new car every 5-6 years.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

I see, that everything used to be unbreakable, but now it is made to break.
As the world turns, so do products.
Televisions and refrigerators are expensive, though it is normal for them to run for 10 or 20 years.
I heard that the Honda ACCORD 1991 still runs for the lucky ones.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
