Yoi Kazoku Motorsports

I'm overjoyed that I finally got my car running after four long years. I had been searching for an NB Miata for quite some time when I stumbled upon one with a blown engine in Moneta, VA, for $850. I drove 4.5 hours to get it and tow it back home. A so-called mechanic friend of mine in Fayetteville, NC, offered to fix it for me, and I paid for everything, including towing. I just wanted a new engine installed to get back on the track, but he put in a bottom end, and the car still wouldn't run. He ignored my requests and handed it over to another person because he couldn't fix it. The second "mechanic" had my Miata for about a year, and when I finally got it back, it was still not running and was pretty much destroyed. I had lost hope in shops & people at this point.

After my mom passed away at the end of 2021, I lost interest in the car, but I made a promise to her that I would get it running. I moved to San Antonio in October 2022 and brought the POS car with me, hoping to find a reliable mechanic. I was referred to Elite Performance, but they barely communicated with me and even ended up cracking my steering wheel. When I asked for a clear diagnosis, they couldn't provide one, so I decided to take the car back.

I then found Yoi Kazoku and was impressed with their work. Although it took about 10 months, I was informed every step of the way. TJ was always very informative, never treated me differently because I'm a woman, and provided regular updates. Even though they had to fix others' mistakes, they did a great job, and I was overjoyed when I got home and the car was running. I can't thank them enough, and I kept my promise to my mom and that means the world to me. I'm sorry you all had to deal with the mistakes of others but I greatly appreciate you all!

I've done business with YKM on and off for years, and never hesitate to send anyone their way when it comes to either general maintenance or custom work, on jdm or domestic vehicles. Fantastic dudes with great hearts, and their work shows it.

I have been using them as my go to shop for my 370. They seem to be super fair with their pricing as well as just having the expertise of working with all the JDM market. I can say I've always been pleased after I leave with the work they have done.

My car has been lighting up like a Christmas tree for months. I would take the car to other shops and the dealership, "Nothing we can do" No one could fix them. TJ called and said they're gone... Honestly I was super doubtful, haha. Well, driving the car for a month since and the lights are gone! What sort of wizardry is this???

This shop always goes above and beyond. They've worked on multiple vehicles of mine and never disappoint. Sometimes they get a little backed up but you get what you pay for, and its well worth the wait. Whether its performance upgrades, or basic maintenance theyve got you covered, honestly im super grateful to have found this shop. They give your ride the same care and attention to detail you give, definitely recommend you reach out for all your automotive needs. Very honest guys, top-notch work ethic, and affordable quality.

Took my 90 Nissan 300ZX in for service. These guys know their stuff! Honest, great service and fair prices. Highly recommend!

Best auto shop I've been to hands down. Customer service that feels like working with family. Good vibes all around and I've never worked with a team as fast, reliable, effective, and honest as Tj and Justin's! 10/10 I always recommend

Hands down the only shop jdm owners should go to in San Antonio. Justin is an absolute rb expert and the whole team is amazing. The owner is incredibly transparent and not pushy at all. They sorted me out quickly and the car runs better than ever

Awesome garage.

These folks are up front w pricing and services included. They have done *a lot* of work on my Fiesta ST and I have never been slightly dissatisfied with anything they've done. This shop embodies honesty and integrity. Hard workers here.

Came for a custom alignment. They went above an beyond. Shared information, car drove perfect, very personable, and they full-on support the local(legal and safe)car community. Great guys, definitely recommend them. Don't hesitate to give them a call

From my previous 2015 370z to my current 2020 370z, these guys have been great these past years. I've tried other shops for specific jobs and gotten pretty bad, or average, experiences. TJ and Justin at Yoi really care about doing a good job with your car. I always bring in the highest-quality parts (suspension, brakes, diff, etc) and they do good work on installations. If they can't do a certain type of work they will let you know and often can suggest a good source.

If you have a need with your JDM vehicle. This is the place to go. I've always had good honest interactions with all the guys there. You never have to worry about them trying to nickel and dime you. From basic maintenance to hooned out drift missile. They do it all, can't recommend them enough.

Hands down the best performance/speed shop in town. Those guys are friendly, great support team and honest about issues they find with your car. Most importantly, they suggest the best resolutions. Highly recommend this place for all your motorsports needs.

Mr TJ and Justin are the best to deal with. I had a car that was worked on by another local so called performance shop and they completely wet the bed on the job. YKM took this challenge head on with no hesitation. I really appreciate everything they have done for my 95 Maxima and will continue to use them and highly recommend them. Couldn't say enough good things.

Looking for a JDM specialist? You've found them. Amazing work and experiences with this shop. Reasonable prices, quality, and reliability is all I ever had here.
Very happy customer and only bring my drift car here.

The boys at Yoi Kazoku installed a fresh set of BC coilovers on my S550. They set the ride height exactly where I wanted it & the alignment is absolutely perfect. I will recommend Yoi to anyone and everyone. Great work, great timing. Thanks again, y’all!

I went into this shop looking for advice and Tj the Co owner was real upfront with me! He gave me a great price on the work that I needed done on my vehicle. I had the opportunity to sit back and kick it with the owners and the mechanics, I had a great time hanging out with these guys and I felt at home at this shop. Great experience, Great prices and quality, I wouldn’t go anywhere else !

Yoi Kazoku is a very dependable shop to take your vehicle for repairs, modifications, etc. TJ was very quick to assist me with checking out the alignment on my '16 WRX, and even went as far as to not charge me as my alignment was already in specification. I will certainly trust them with my car again with whatever I need done! 👍🏻

This shop is nice! They gave me an estimate for things I want to do to my car . I need to save up a little longer but they gave me a fair price on my upgrades. These guys have lots of knowledge.

HONEST SHOP!!! These guys are BUSY, and for good reason; THEY ARE THE BEST!!! I took my 1990 Nissan 300ZX (my baby) to them for what I thought was an electrical issue with starting. Another shop closer to my home told me it'd be $300 to $600 just for an electrical diagnosis, repairs extra... I almost took it there because they had good reviews, and were close to home. I decided to make the drive out to Converse (about 25 miles) and Thank God I did! Upon initial inspection, thought I'd need a wiring harness. Electrical Diagnosis was $99, and they found the issue was a switch on my clutch pedal, and fixed it. $99 total bill... I decided to have it tuned up while there. I mentioned I had a few door dings I'd like to get repaired. TJ recommended a guy up the street who specialized in PDR. Had it done. Picked up the car today. Beautiful!!! Can't tell the dings were ever there. Starting issue gone, running smooth! I FOUND MY NEW "Z" SHOP!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOI KAZOKU MOTORSPORTS!!!

Wonderful service. TJ is a jolly guy. The mechanics are very professional. No BS at all. I came in the first time because I had an electrical problem in my '92 300zx. The mechanics found it swiftly. Came in the second time to do some fluid flushes and an inspection for a road trip. Great vibes from everyone! :)
