Tokyo Automotive

Buena Park's Original Japanese Car Specialists — Serving Drivers Since 1978

Tokyo Automotive is a family-owned Japanese auto repair shop on Stanton Avenue in Buena Park with roots going back to 1978. Founders Masahiro Masuda and Akio Tsuchida immigrated to the U.S. from Japan in the 1970s, both trained directly with Toyota in Japan, and opened what the shop describes as the first and only independent Japanese repair shop in the area at the time. Today the business is in its second generation: Masahiro's son Naohito Masuda, who has been around the shop since he was 8 years old, manages the Buena Park location.

The shop focuses exclusively on Japanese and Korean makes — Acura, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia, Lexus, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Scion, Subaru, and Toyota — and backs its work with a 1-year/12,000-mile warranty.

Services

• Engine service and oil replacement
• Timing belt replacement
• Brake service — pads, shoes, and hydraulic system
• Periodic inspections

Timing Belt Replacement

Many of the Japanese models this shop specializes in call for timing belt replacement at 60,000–90,000-mile intervals. Tokyo Automotive handles this interval service as one of its core offerings, keeping engines on the maintenance schedule they were designed for rather than waiting for a failure.
