料金の目安
Pricing Guide
表示はすべて税込・技術料（工賃）です。部品代・法定費用は別途かかります。
All figures include tax and cover labour only. Parts and statutory costs are extra.
What a shaken bill is actually made of
車検代金は4つで構成されます
Guides written for foreign residents usually quote one big number for shaken and leave it there. It is really four separate things, and only the first two are ours. Here is the whole picture before you ask us for anything.
下の料金表に載っているのは、このうち上の2つ（固定料金）です。
Statutory costs are set by your car's weight and age, so no shop can quote them lower than another. Repairs are quoted in writing and we start only once you say yes. Nothing appears on your bill that you have not seen first.
法定費用はお車の重量と年式で決まるため、どの工場でも同額です。必要な整備は事前にお見積りをご提示し、ご承認後に着手します。
上記にない修理・整備の料金もお気軽にお問い合わせください。
お車の状態に合わせて、無料でお見積もりをお出しします。
フォーム・LINEは24時間受付。翌営業日にご返信します。

Pricing varies based on your vehicle condition, year, and required work. That is exactly why we always provide a detailed estimate first — and begin work only after your approval. If any additional costs come up, we explain them before proceeding.

Yes. Our staff handle customer communication in English. You can message us in English on LINE, call us, or use the contact form, and you will get a reply in English. Quotes, explanations of repairs, and shaken paperwork are all explained in English. We have been serving foreign residents in Naka-ku, Yokohama, for years, and English is part of how we work every day, not an add-on.
Yes. The easiest way is LINE. Send us a message with (1) your car's make and model, (2) what you need, such as shaken, repair, oil change, or tyres, and (3) a photo of your shaken sticker or the car registration (車検証 / shakensho) if you have it. We will reply in English with a quote and available dates. You never need to write or speak Japanese at any step.
You are welcome to drop by during our hours. Please understand that we may not be able to look at your car immediately, because other customers' bookings are already scheduled. If you can, message us on LINE before you come so we can tell you when someone will be free. For urgent problems such as warning lights, strange noises, or a flat tyre, come straight in and we will do our best to help.
