Why That Tiny Import Truck Isn’t Coming to Our Shop (and What It Means for Your Car)

You might have seen the buzz about a modified Honda Acty kei truck selling at auction—a tiny Japanese import with a 660 cc engine that makes less power than some riding mowers. It’s a fun novelty, but for most of us in Boca Raton, it’s not something you’d drive to work or on I-95.

At Boca Auto Care, we’ve been keeping European and Japanese cars running smoothly since 1989, and we know what matters for your daily driver.

For owners of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Porsche, VW, Volvo, Jaguar, Lexus, Toyota, and Honda—including hybrids—the real news is about reliability, not quirky imports. That tiny engine’s 38 horsepower won’t get you to the grocery store safely in South Florida traffic. Your car’s engine, whether it’s a turbocharged four-cylinder or a hybrid powertrain, is built for real-world driving.

But even the best cars need attention.

If there’s a recall or service bulletin affecting your vehicle—like a software update for your Audi’s transmission or a hybrid battery check for your Toyota—we can inspect it here. No need to worry about jargon or surprises. We’ll explain what’s needed in plain terms, and we don’t do body work or window tint, so you get honest advice on what keeps you moving.

That little truck? It’s a conversation piece. Your car is what gets you there. Bring it in if you have questions.
