I own the red Supra in the picture for Ishii's shop above. They are bar none the best shop I have ever dealt with, and have gone the extra mile more then a few times throughout the process of building my Supra to where it is today. I won't trust any other shop with my Supra beside Ishii's.

Some of the work they have just done on my car includes a full install of a single turbo kit, including many one-off custom fabricated parts, the installation and replacement of the entire fuel system, coil-over installation, standalone engine management installation and tuning, on top of regular maintenance. Any problem I've ever had with my car has always been taken care of promptly and with extreme expertise and attention to detail.

Basically, don't hesitate to bring your car here. Steve and his crew will get whatever it is you need done. Whether it's just simple maintenance or wild custom work, I have nothing but confidence in the capabilities and expertise housed here.

I purchased my HKS Legamax exhaust & mid pipe and KW V 3 coilovers from Steve @ Ishii Motors. Cameron did the install and overall, my expectations were exceeded.

The employees are very knowledgeable, especially about our BRZs / FR-Ss.

The prices were good and the installation was excellent. They are passionate about their work and it shows.

I will only take my BRZ and Forester XT there for any future purchases, installs and maintenance. In fact, since having my equipment installed, I have already taken both my BRZ and Forester for scheduled service.

How nice is it to take our beloved BRZ/FR-Ss to a shop that will really care for your ride as much as you do?

Just stopped by Ishii Motors to check it out. Steve showed me around the shop, pointing out various projects that they are working on. He let me take his FR-S for a quick spin to experience a couple of the mods he had performed. Although I was only there to check the shop and not to purchase anything, Steve was very generous with his time. After seeing the high caliber of his customers' vehicles, I wouldn't have any issues with taking my car to Ishii Motors.

Steve is a great guy. he has super friendly staff and they definitely know their stuff. would highly recommend them to anyone in the bellevue area

Got my Eibach springs and HKS Hi Power exhaust at Ishii. Knowledgable staff, great service, and talk about dedication! I don't think there's anyone on the east side that knows this car better than they do!

Touge_ninja · 01-15-2013, 06:25 PM

Had then do my exhaust install and all I can say is these guys are great. Highly recommended

subaruatheart · 03-22-2013, 04:56 PM

Do these guys do alignment? Trying to find a place that will install coilovers, rear LCAs + front camber bolts, and do alignment all in one place.

Vukodlac · 03-22-2013, 06:00 PM

^ I don't see why not.

These guys installed my exhaust. Did a great job, good crew.

31katys · 03-22-2013, 09:40 PM

They'll get her all fixed up!

They don't do alignment. They'll facilitate it though. They do a great job for installs.

I'd get the parts installed there and go to a pro alignment shop like Tru Line, get an aggressive alignment.

Sounds like this is what i'll do when my parts come in. How much does Tru Line charge for an aggressive alignment?

mechaghost · 04-03-2013, 05:32 PM

True Line is a little pricey, they will do it for around $400, but those guys know what they are doing for sure

Very nice guys and very friendly with their own toy FRS at Ishii.
