★★★★★ 5.0 B Love · Jan 2026

I buy Japanese cars that i repair and flip. I was buying from another dealer until 4 years ago when I met Alphi. This has been my go to guy! His mechanics have installed my Subaru and Honda engines/transmissions with speed and accuracy at a very reasonable price! I've had no issues with any of the items I've bought thus far!! Thanks!!!!

I had something wrong with my car so I bringed it to this shop and they made my car all brand new again! Mind you my car was old and it was just working so well after bringing it to this shop! Definitely recommend.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Artem S · Jul 2025

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with any auto shop. I bought a transmission from them — right after installation, the check engine light came on. We had to replace a motor inside, then another error popped up. Turns out, they have no real knowledge of transmissions. I had to take the car to the dealer, who confirmed the transmission was bad and needed full replacement. They refused to cover the labor, made me pay again, and kept delaying the repair week after week with excuse after excuse. First it was “end of the week,” then “early next week,” then “Wednesday” — only to find out they meant next Wednesday. Completely unacceptable. When I finally got the car back — the same error was still there. Nothing was fixed. This place wasted my money, my time, and pushed me to the lim

I bought an engine from them i got everything installed in the car and then the camshaft broke at the end with the distributor, it was all rusted out and broke into 3 pieces. It was still in the 3 month warranty phase but when i tried getting ahold of them for the warranty no one would get back to me. Worse customer service

Overall, Japanese engines are highly regarded for their reliability, performance, and innovative technology. While they may have some drawbacks, their benefits make them a popular choice among car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike.
