About Japanese Motor Works: Trusted Auto Repair in Athens, GA
The Story Behind Athens’ Top Japanese Auto Specialists
Japanese Motor Works was born out of a passion for precision and a love for all things automotive. Founder Peter Haughton is a “car guy” with more than 50 years of dealership training and certifications, opening the shop in 1992 in Athens, GA with a dedication to fair, honest, and exceptional service. With master technician certifications from Mitsubishi, Toyota, and Acura, Peter set out to build a business rooted in expertise and integrity.
From those early days to now, Japanese Motor Works has grown into a trusted name in Japanese auto repair. Peter and his team are dedicated to staying ahead of technology through continuous training, ensuring they remain the best in the business.
