- LLlaimray laimray4 days ago3.0The employees were actually very friendly. However the reason for my 3 stars is because I paid $2100 to fix a coolant leak on my Toyota Prius but the leak was not fixed. Long story short, The technician DIAGNOSED my vehicle and sent me a paper work stating I needed to replace my water pump, thermostat, and inverter total $3,400 to fix the water leak. I told them I didn't have that amount, they recommended to fixed the water pump and thermostat. I agreed paid 2100 only to picked up my vehicle the leak is worse. Dropped off the vehicle for a second time and this time I got a different DIAGNOSES : exhaust system or gasket. At this point they advised me to get another vehicle and get rid of my car. I feel like if they had properly DIAGNOSED my vehicle the first time, I wouldn't have agreed to give them the go ahead to attempt to fix the vehicle. So I lost 2k and my water leak was not resolved.

- NCNikita ClarkDec 24, 20251.0I ride a Prius. It started misfiring on the start, so called Prius death start. Brought it to them, paid 250 for the inspection, got back a $2,500 proposal on sparks, Ignition coils, some form of fuel clean up and more snake oil. FYI, the car cost 5-7k tops. After being straight with them and told them to just fix the issue, they brought the proposal down to 1k, for fixing 1 coil and all sparks. I changed it in the other shop for 600. The issue persisted and gotten worse, I took engine apart and cleaned the EGR Manifold. Something I told them was the issue I thought when I brought the car. As a result, by "trusting them" I would have dropped half of my cars value to them for something that wasn't even the issue. After doing it myself over 4 hours with no mechanics experiance, the car is running perfect now. You judge for yourself.
