Clients testimonials

"I had an amazing first experience with Shige's! They dropped me off at work and picked me up when the work was done. Their service was impeccable and I felt like I was being treated like family. Plus you can't be their amazing digital service report complete with links, visuals and videos. A family business that treats you like family - what could be better?"

"I came here after my mom said her friend had been going there for over 20+ years and great Yelp reviews but this is the best place for Japanese car repairs by far. I have a 2001 Toyota 4Runner and they are great, no hassles, very comprehensive and John is great. I referred my wife, dad, father in law and a close friend and they are all sold on Shige's. I can't recommend them enough."

"Hands down the best auto service around LA. John and crew not only know their way around a vehicle and they have top notch customer service. The pdf they sent me had a detail list of the issues that they found with my car. I have never received a document like that from any mechanic. Thanks fellas for the fabulous experience."

"Thank you John and Wesley of Shige's for helping me to kick the habit of wasting my hard-earned money by thinking that only a Dealership can service my vehicle right. I was so wrong. I am now confident that I can bring my vehicle to you for the same type of work but with better customer service and prices than a dealership has to offer. I'd only wish I had discovered you sooner."
