NSX Expert. Professional. Meticulous. Competent. On-time Delivery. These are just a few superlatives I can use to describe Kun Chee and his team at GT Japanese Automotive Inc. From start to finish the process was easy. We met for an initial consultation (just like you do going to a surgeon!). The car was carefully evaluated, and an accurate estimate was given.

At a mutually convenient time, the car was brought for a period of 3-4 weeks (also agreed upon), and the work was performed as promised. Photo documentation of progress was provided frequently. Delivery was flawless. Kun is THE master of NSX gen 1s in the northeast. If you are lucky enough to have one and it needs anything done to it, GT Japanese is the place for it. Thank you!

If you own a Japanese made vehicle I cannot recommend any mechanics more than this place. They have experience on exotics as well as daily drivers. They are thorough and find issues before they become headaches. Super Highly Recommended

Friendly and reasonable quote to replace the Alternator in my Sister inlaws 2012 Toyota Camry V6. Most places quoted $300-500 more. In and out quicker than promised.

Nothing but praise for them. Have been using them for years for all my automotive needs. They always exceed expectations. So glad I found them. A good, reliable, trustworthy mechanic is a must- one less thing I need to worry about! Services: Oil change, Engine repair

I brought a used lexus truck to GT Japanese Automotive for a complete baselining, with a laundry list of things to do - basically every fluid needed to be changed, all the "dirty work", including removing oil pans for a deep cleaning. The folks at GT accommodated every detail that I requested.and was even able to squeeze in a last minute wheel alignment on my way to pick up the vehicle. Every service was done professionally and without a single issue. Amazing and highly recommended!

Wish I could have found out GT earlier! Kun and his team are so professional and friendly! They took only 10 minutes to figure out the annoying vibration/drone noise on my Civic. Can't say enough good things about this shop and I will bring my other cars here too!

The team at GT (front desk and mechanics) do their best to seek excellent customer service. They have fit me into their schedules for last minute emergencies and have given me fair and honest repair feedback and costs. I go to them for routine upkeep on my ride, feeling comfortable knowing my ride is in good hands. Friendly, quality, and fair priced. They listen to instructions and turn around is within good timeframe. I've never had an issue with them.

Visited this establishment for the first time based on yelp reviews. Was pleasantly surprised at the professionalism and courtesy. I especially paid attention not only to how I was treated, but how they interacted with other customers on the phone and as they dropped their cars off. To be honest the shop is a bit of a ride for me coming from further south in NJ, but based on this experience a ride I don't mind taking.

This place specializes in Japanese cars. Luckily for us, we have Subaru, Mazda, and Honda. We just took our S2000 there. Happy with results. Very professional and friendly service. Reasonable prices as well. Recommend.

I've been taking my car to GT for service for many years, and frankly I was a bit concerned when the long-time owner sold it and retired a few years back. I needn't have worried. Last week my car suddenly started acting up during a lunchtime errand, I made it home (whew!) and then called GT. Julie strongly suggested that I not try to drive over, even though it was only 2 miles.

I trust her expertise, so I had it towed over there. It was a few days before a holiday weekend, and they had a full schedule, but were able to take diagnose the problem the next morning even though I wasn't in the schedule. Brian called me, told me what the problem was and exactly how much it would cost, and I told him to go ahead with the repair.

They called a few hours later (maybe 3, max) to tell me it was done. I said, "OK, I have to find a friend to drive me over to pick it up, " and Julie said, "You're really not that far--we can drop it off at your house." Holy cow--if THAT's not incredible customer service, I don't know what is! That was above and beyond anything I expected, and since there's no one else in my household who drives right now, I really REALLY appreciated it. I recommend them, and trust them.

I have a 1993 Nissan Hardbody and I wouldn't trust it to anyone other than GT Japanese Automotive. I am a repeat customer and drive an hour South to bring my truck there when it needs something. Excellent work, great communication, they're professional and friendly. I can't say enough good things about my experiences at GT Japanese Automotive and highly recommend them.

Had such a pleasure dealing with Kun and his team. They went above and beyond getting my oil change and installing my Tomei Expreme full titanium exhaust as well as carbon canards on my Nissan R35 GTR. They absolutely made sure I was notified every step of the way and were extremely careful with everything, always double checking. Super knowledgeable and they definitely know their stuff.

You peeps want real customer service and a legit trust worthy mechanic? Kun and his team are your guys! Not to mention the amount of performance cars that was on their lot - says a lot. Thanks again brother.

This place definitely lives up to its reviews.super professional, courteous and knowledgeable staff! Brought my truck in for some shaking, they fixed it quickly and at a price that was more than fair. I recently moved to the area, they've already gained a lifelong customer here!

Great auto shop with focus on customer service and repeat service. Pros: Great customer service and upfront detailed pricing. Good mechanic job on my car. Cons: Not many. Parking lot fills up when busy? Likely they have a workaround. COVID- staff wears masks and they limit people in the waiting room.

Exceptional! My husband and I have lived in NJ for a number of years, and were referred to GT Japanese Auto by a friend. We needed quite a bit of work done on our Subaru, and started off with a phone call to Julie. She spent time patiently speaking with us and answering all our questions. For one particular noise issue, we had taken the vehicle to 2 mechanics in the past (one being the dealership), and were told nothing was wrong. GT, however, identified the noise issue and promptly fixed it.

We are very pleased with the condition of the car, and it is driving like new again. All work was done within the promised time frame (when is the last time that happened at an automotive shop?), and at very reasonable / fair prices. Totally professional, and none of the typical scare tactics. We have FINALLY found our trusted shop, and won't be going anywhere else in the future. Especially happy with Julie, who treated us like her own family members. Thanks GT!

If you have a Japanese car, look no further for the best mechanical service in the tri-state area, perhaps in the country. I've lived in six different cities with my Acura and I have never experienced better service (dealerships included). GT is also affordably priced. You can't go wrong with them.

I haven't seen many reviews regarding the more involved car work they perform, so I'll give my experience. I've been to GT Japanese Auto so far for a more involved front CV axle change. Recently, I took my car for the motor mounts and transmission mount to be changed too. Their team performs those maintenance in record turn around time.

They were pleasant and courteous to deal with as well. I have a personal garage where I put my car on a quickjack to do basic maintenance like oil and transmission fluid changes. While inspecting underneath at the underbody, the new parts installed by GT Japanese Auto were done with precision and care. So far so good. I've been to a lot of goon auto repair shops in the vicinity, but GT Japanese is one of the rare Autoshop that was honest with me.

I'm so happy for the service I received here, I went to 3 other Shops in the past week with estimates up $1,900 for repairs I did not need. This shop saved me thousands of dollars and a lot of unnecessary stress. I can't thank them enough. Great team really felt they were looking out for my best interest and not trying to pull one over on me.

Highly highly recommend GT japanese automotive. Took in our 2008 Lexus to get an idea of what was causing a particular check engine light warning, and they were able to diagnose (faulty air-fuel sensor) and fix the issue within a day for a very reasonable price. Additionally, they found the rear brake pads needed to be replaced and did that within the day as well.

We didn't ask them to check on that, as we didn't know it was a problem, but their thoroughness not only made our car safer to drive but also prevented costlier repairs in the future. Super trustworthy, dedicated to their customers, and very reliable.

Found this place through Yelp of course, looking to get some work done on my car. They provided a very reasonably priced quote to get a good amount of brake work done on the car (brake pads/rotors, flush). GT got me an appointment very quickly and did the job in under two hours. Typically I would have had to wait at least 4 hours and probably double the cost at a dealership. Will definitely be coming back again.

These folks were honest to me in my experience and I am grateful. I brought my older Nissan Sentra in for service, and they were able to fix it up without breaking the bank. They found that the wiring was messed with so they brought it back to original and refurbished the ECU as needed. They informed me of the relevant charges beforehand so that I knew what was coming. I would recommend this place for Japanese/foreign cars! They even wrote me a nice thank you note for my business!

I could not be more grateful for the thorough pre-purchase inspection GT did on a van I was considering. For $67, including tax, I avoided buying a car that needed more work than the purchase price alone. I'll being any used car here for an inspection and again, I'm so thankful for the excellent job they did.

I rarely post reviews, but felt this place completely warrants it. If you cherish you japanese car, you need to see Kun. You can tell hes worked on a million hondas and acuras. He had my my 88 crx si in and out of there in exactly the time he quoted at the exact price they stated! The car is purring and i couldnt be happier. These guys are specialists. Theyre my new go to guys. hands down.

Yelp review did not disappoint me. From the receptionist, manager and to the mechanics. Everyone is friendly and polite. They will work with you and help you to save money. My side mirror swings freely and doesn't stop at the usual position. Other shop quoted me $700 to replace the entire mirror, but GT Automotive helped me to put screws inside the mirror housing for a price of $120.

The mechanic, Kun was so thoughtful and professional, he helped to tape the mirror to hold it in place temporarily before my appointment. My car went in with a light of low tire pressure and I didn't expect them to check/fill the air for my tires. When I picked up my car, the mirror was fixed and my tires are all good to go! This shop is going to be my to-go place from now on and I highly recommend this place!
