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.

I also got ripped off at a Gardena car repair shop owned by a Japanese guy ！ Incidentally, when I took my car to another repair shop and told them what happened, they said I could live on it for a month. I had to be careful not to trust them because they were Japanese or because I knew them. You need to know yourself, and it was not good to trust a Japanese person because he/she is Japanese ….

Repair shops can buy OEM parts from dealers for 10% to 15% less than the regular price.
But aftermarket parts are 50% to 75% cheaper than the regular price.
There is no profit in the cost of OEM parts.
That's why repair shops use aftermarket parts.
The quoted price is lower than the official price, and the unknowing customer is happy because the price is lower, but in reality it breaks quickly and has to be repaired again. In the end, it costs more money than it should. If the car is not that old, go to the dealer and get it fixed. If it's an older car, buy OEM parts, they will cost more than the car itself, so hold out for aftermarket parts.
This is the same everywhere, not just Japanese repair shops.

Showa Otouta, you call yourself homeless. You must have money.

I bought a stock (OEM) battery from a dealer this March and it was $ 170.
I bought an aftermarket battery before, but it didn't last 2 years.
If you buy a cheap battery twice over $ it's 300. If you are poor, be stingy with your money and buy cheap parts.
Instead, it will cost you more than twice as much money in the end.
Genuine parts may be more expensive, but you don't have to worry about them after you buy them.

#73 are you related to a private repair shop ？
are you pissed off that we know your dirty business practices ？?
