It's so freaking clean at Nippon that it's difficult to believe they work on cars here. Sure, there's always coffee, water and snacks available, as well as soft music playing. Heck, there's even a gift shop of sorts. But the proof is in the service. The friendly staff has for the past 25 years impeccably repaired and maintained Toyota, Honda, Saturn, Mitsubishi and Nissan autos, and will do Lexus, Acura and Geo Prism vehicles by request. The garage's latest achievement has been its addition in July to the networking Web site Angie's List (www.angieslist.com), which allows homeowners to connect with and rate the quality of service providers.
