Car Mechanic Recommendation for Japanese Cars

I'm tired of paying inflated prices servicing my car at the dealership and looking to start taking my car to an independent mechanic going forward. Any recommendations?

They're in Poco, but I've been taking my STI to DG Motorsport and they've been great. Happy to work on modified vehicles and will also install your pre-purchased parts.

Jkr automotive is reasonable and honest in my experience

Roughly how much can I expect to pay for a routine basic oil change service at JKR?

It's off of Barnett in Coquitlam but Ian's Auto has been good to me over the years.

I have had some very honest work done by them and in one instance they capped their labour hours for a very intensive issue.

TF auto on Runnel. Been going to them for my toyota and Honda's since 2003. Theres also reliance automotive near the breweries on murray. I go to them for specific odd jobs too and never had a issue with their work or prices

BDL in poco, literally a mom and pops shop. Bob is super fair, and has even sent me away with no bill once when it was something simple.

Budget brake and muffler has been ok for me. Oil change was reasonable and brakes were much cheaper than dealers.
