If you need a reliable mechanic to handle your car repairs and vehicle maintenance, then come to the Pit Stop Garage! Our eight-bay car care center is conveniently located adjacent to the main base gas station. We perform repairs, maintenance, and other services for your vehicle such as oil changes, tune-ups and tire rotations -- just to name a few!
Other services include Car Winterization, Vehicle Pre-Buy Check, and Japanese Compulsory Inspection (JCI).
JCI is a safety inspection required for all cars registered in Japan, and must be renewed every two years. The Pit Stop Garage can do this inspection, along with the requisite paperwork and registration updates. Because JCI inspections are very thorough, they often require repairs on inspected vehicles.
To allow time for repairs, inspections should be scheduled at least 30 days prior to the date of expiration listed on the vehicle’s title. JCI appointments are available at 7:30 am, Monday through Friday. JCI prices range from ¥40,830 to ¥61,330. The Auto Center charges an additional $40 for the inspection, which does not include repairs. The Pit Stop Garage can do JCI on motorcycles, too. The cost is ¥22,370 plus $50 for bikes over 250cc. If you have an upcoming JCI inspection, the Pit Stop Garage is here to help. |
