The service was a little on the slower side, but he appears to be running a one man shop. The most important part is that 2 years after the repair, it's still holding up. Extremely satisfied. I would definitely use him again if I lived in the area.
Dave diagnosed quickly and accurately and explained need for repairs in a way I could understand. Was fair and will definitely use again. Thanks!
While visiting Wichita Falls, I went to this mechanic because of the wonderful ratings. Boy, was I WRONG. The mechanic was fully aware that I was traveling to IDAHO the next day. That's a 19 hour drive. My car was misfiring. Instead of addressing THE PROBLEM, he charged me $150 for "fixing the mixfiring, AND the spark plugs". 3 hours into my drive, my car didn't go over 50mph. In a 80 mph zone. It was making the same odd noises the second I picked it up from the shop but he had assured me that it was fixed so it eased my worry. I just got my car FIXED in Idaho. I came to find out that this Wichita Falls mechanic COVERED EVERYTHING IN ELECTRICAL TAPE. That was the "FIX" I paid $150 for. YOU lied, and then you stole my money to go see a dentist. You knew I was traveling back home, you didn't think I would come back to demand a refund. Now we are both stumped.
Our son is stationed at the USAF base in Wichita Falls, TX. The Mini Cooper he was driving started missing and was soon running on three cylinders of the four cylinders. The BMW dealer would not work on the Mini other than oil change! We found reviews for Dr. Yamamoto (Dave) on Yelp and decided to give him a try. While he specializes in Hondas he accurately diagnosed the problems and performed the necessary repairs at a reasonable cost. We highly recommend Dr. Y for foreign car repairs. He is an honest, efficient and knowledgeable automobile technician.
I rarely ever leave reviews for businesses but my experience here was so positive I felt that I needed to share it. Dave is likely the most honest and expert Honda and Toyota mechanic you will ever come across. I have worked with Dave for a long time on my old Toyota Truck. When it died and I had it towed to him, I was sure it would never run again. After countless hours of diagnosis and troubleshooting for which Dave did not charge me, not only was the truck fixed but it runs like new! The cost was so low I was concerned that I was not being fair and compensating Dave sufficiently for his time. That is how honest this man is. Another mechanic could have easily bought the truck off of me for $500 and turned around and sold it for $5,000 (it turned out to be a simple fix). Another mark of his high degree of integrity is that he will use authentic Honda/Toyota or OEM parts whenever possible for the longevity of his work. He stands behind his work and knows your car better than anyone else in the industry (even the dealer - no kidding, he won't charge for unnecessary labor that the dealer is inclined to because he knows a faster route to replacing a part, etc.). My biggest regret to being stationed away from Wichita Falls (I am in the Air Force) is that I am sure I will likely never find a mechanic with the integrity that Dave has. You can find many more positive reviews for Dave if you look on Yelp.
Outstanding experience. On the drive from San Antonio to Lawton my Acura TSX's clutch died close to Wichita Falls in late 2015. I had the vehicle towed to the local Honda dealer who wanted over 3k to repair it, which is a bit much considering the vehicle is probably only worth 5k. I called around to a few places and this shop quoted me for around 1100-1200 I believe.
