A customer for several years

I have to say, when I moved to Southern California several years ago to live in the famous San Fernando Valley, I was overwhelmed with the number of mechanics that were out there. Its like every other block you pass, you will find another mechanic. I just happen to be very picky with the way a mechanic works on my cars. I am one of those who firmly believe in "you get what you pay for" ideology to a certain... view more extent. I probably went through 15 to 20 mechanics, most of which were recommended by friends or acquaintances who have said that their mechanic was the best. I personally didn`t like them. Some were shady, some just didn`t put the quality effort into fixing cars (where I`ve had some cars come back with a few bolts loose and or of that matter), some were just racist, and some just would not do what I asked them to do. Anyway, I was referred to Mr. Nobu of Nobu Automotive and well the interesting thing is he works out of his garage, mainly to save money on unwanted expenses but also to be able to spend more time with family. He is a Japanese mechanic with an accent which at times maybe hard for some to understand but his quality of work is superb. He is a firm believer in using OEM parts whenever possible, though it may cost more, the reliability is always there. Of course if you insist on a cheaper aftermarket part, he will do it for you although he will also warn you on the possible consequences you may have with the parts. If a part fails after he installs it, if the part is under the manufacture warranty, he will go ahead and replace it with minimal or sometimes no cost to you because it was a defective part. He will also do a check of your car each time and let you know ahead of time when he feels you should consider replacing something soon such as tires, brake pads, radiator, etc. For me this is great because it means no surprise maintenance costs and gives me time to save up. He is also very prompt in getting things done in a very timely manner. He is by far the best mechanic that I have come across in the valley and I have been recommending him to several of my friends who have also been very happy with his quality of work. Last but not least, if you give him a job which he cannot do or is uncomfortable doing, he will usually tell you and possibly decline the job. Usually these jobs are working on modified cars which is not at original Mfr specifications. He also usually will not accept personal checks and never credit cards, mainly cash, but if he gets to know you, personal checks are fine. His specialty is usually working on Japanese cars but I have seen him work on other cars as well. If you need a good mechanic and don`t mind spending a little more for quality work, I will highly recommend Nobu Auto.
