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.

On the other hand, you should also be wary of Japanese-affiliated repair shops that are not recommended. As for my experience, I once asked a private shop in Torrance to do an oil change for me. The mechanic had worked for a major manufacturer in Japan and seemed to be very skilled. I also asked him to do some minor repairs at that time, but I trusted him and left my car without asking him how much it would cost. The mechanic called me at home and told me that there were other things wrong with the car, so I asked him to take care of those as well. The mechanic did not say what the total cost would be. When I went to pick up my car, I was surprised to find that the total cost of the repair was almost $1,000. Later, I heard elsewhere that the mechanic was famous for charging a lot for repairs, saying that this one was bad and that one was bad.

If you pay them $1000 without looking bad
the next time they don't try to rip you off because they trust you
they treat you well and build trust

it's hard to build trust, but once you have trust, they will listen to your requests.

#12 Mr. Wet,

Let's name those places for everyone's sake.

The places that are doing well don't advertise in the Japanese-language newspaper.
Most of them are private and give you a good estimate. They are popular, so it is hard to make a reservation.

Except for newcomers. It's like advertising that they are not in business. Dentist and car repair took a lot of trial and error at first.

If you mention the name of the restaurant, you may be sued. You can guess by the hints in the text.
Another hint. Those major manufacturers are not Toyota, Honda, or Nissan.
