Dan seriously is THE BEST for any of your Japanese vehicle repairs. My boyfriend recently purchased an IS300 from a private seller. He had it for about 48 hours and it drove fine before it took a turn for the worst. Both my boyfriend, my father (who is a mechanic) and myself were all stumped as to what was actually wrong with it and what the true problem really was. A friend mentioned Dan to my boyfriend and he was more than kind about him dropping his car off after hours. After two long and tedious days of working on the IS300, Dan finally brought it back to life!! He worked his butt off trying to get it done as soon as possible and kept us up to date on it every step of the way. I would recommend him and his shop to anyone I know! Hands down, Dan and First State Motorsports are our go to for any vehicle issues now. We cannot thank him enough for all of his hard work!

I later went to Toyota after I reached out to Dan and did not receive a response (this was around the July 4th weekend so it is possible that it was missed, I assume the best intentions here) and they identified it was a loose exhaust heat shield. They suspect it was because the center brace… read full review
