If you need a Toyota Prius hybrid battery replacement, Prius V hybrid battery repair, or any hybrid battery replacement, I highly recommend checking this place out before making a decision.

Gave me a very fair quote (cheapest I could find in this area) and told me to come in when I could. Once I arrived near closing time, they gave my car a check, told me I needed to replace my front brake pads. So I dropped off my car and left. Not knowing they would be done so fast, they finished changing my brakes quickly but I couldn't get back in time to pick up my car before they closed. They told me I could come back in the morning to pick up my car which I appreciated because of my busy schedule. Will definitely come back here for all my brake needs from now on.

Timeless Values!!!…read more Mark loves this place, and his customers, and it shows. He has old-fashioned values that NEVER go out of style. The customer is treated with respect, intelligence, and dignity. My story of arriving here was a bit discombobulated. I brought my car to Funk Bros Auto on Ventura, which is a fantastic mechanic, for a new battery and a synthetic oil change. They inform me that my brake pads were down to almost nothing in the front. This was very disconcerting because I had spent my final discretionary income on the battery and the oil change. So here I am about to have brake pads go metal to metal, and being quoted a little more than I could actually afford. But as you know, brakes are pretty much an emergency repair that needs to be done as soon as you know that it needs to be done. You can't wait on brakes. So for the next 24 hours, I was emotionally distraught thinking about my vehicle. Until I did a quick yelp search and Burbank quality brake and alignment. I call, Mark answers, I tell him when I need done, he starts giving me exact pricing for each part, including the amount of cents. He tells me he'll call me back with a quote. He calls me back five minutes later and quotes me the best price that I have found anywhere for my front brakes and rotors needing to be replaced. It was JUST within my price range. I'm talking just within my price range within 20 bucks of what I could afford. Mark being so diligent and respectful with every cent accounted for allowed me to get my brakes done (which gave me instant peace of mind). And not only did they get done, once I came into the mechanic shop Mark has the biggest heart and instantly won my trust. I just handed the keys over with full confidence it was all going to be done right. He sees my guitar in the trunk and he starts talking about guitars and shows me a guitar that he designed himself a really really nice Stratocaster. I feel like I've been friends with this guy my whole life, and not only would I get every service done here in the future, but I would easily recommend that you do the same because this is a truly honorable business, and truly respectable man, who runs it putting his customers first. Thanks Mark!!!

The photos I've posted show the old exhaust parts that were cut and removed, the replacement components, and the finished install underneath the vehicle. Everything was fitted cleanly and solidly--no shortcuts, no sloppy work. They replaced my muffler and repaired the damaged section from the theft in just a little over an hour, which honestly exceeded my expectations. The car sounds right, drives smoothly, and feels properly repaired--not patched together. What I appreciated most was their honesty and efficiency. They explained what needed to be done, got straight to work, and delivered exactly what they promised. In a time when catalytic converter theft is unfortunately common, it's a relief to find a shop you can trust. If you're dealing with exhaust damage or catalytic theft, I highly recommend Izzy Mufflers and Brakes. Solid workmanship, fair pricing, and genuinely good people.

I took it in to a place AAA recommended in downtown LA and explain the issue. They told me I needed a new timing chain along with a whole bunch of other stuff and quotes me $4800 for it. This was preceded with a lot of scare tactics on what will happen if I don't have the work done, which came across as very used car salesman-ish. When I ran the quote through ChatGPT I was told they were charging me dealership pricing for an independent mechanic for that type of work in LA. So I brought the truck here to Speedway where I had Minor worked done before and had a good experience. They told me my bearings need to be replaced and did the work for lesson than a quarter of the price I was quoted at the other mechanic. Work was finished in a day and the truck has been running perfectly since then. Had I spent to 4800 at the place it wouldn't have even resolved the issue, which means I would've had to come out of the pocket even more after the initial work was done. Obviously a truck of this age is gonna have some problems and when they inevitably happen again I will be back here at Speedway to take care of them. Highly recommend this place for integrity, quality, efficiency and fair pricing.

I haven't even been to this shop yet and I'm already getting a good feeling about this place. It's a bit more expensive for an oil change than other places that have quoted me, but I like that they use factory parts including Toyota oil filters. I'll update this review once I get the car in for my first visit. Stay tuned.... 6/29/26 - Brought my Sienna in for an oil change + complimentary 30-point inspection (since it was my first time there). Jared took the van for a spin, brought it back and lifted it up. They found a little oil seepage coming out of the transfer case. I let them know that I did see a transfer case drain/fill on the CarFax report before I bought it. Jared thinks they just didn't torque it properly so they were going to retorque and clean up around the area and keep an eye on it. Worst case scenario, they would need to order a new drain plug gasket and I'd have to come back to get it replaced. Thankfully, the drain plug just needed to get tightened. I was in and out in almost exactly an hour just as Robert promised. Thanks The Toy Shop team!! Pro Tip: they are booked out at least a week in advanced so make your appointment ASAP!

They also take some extended warranties, which makes life a lot easier. Several years back, I took my car to a popular shop in the West Valley (rhymes with Banks) and got my brakes and rotors replaced by someone I thought I could trust. He assured me he was replacing my brakes and rotors with OEM parts (spoiler alert...he didn't). Sometime later, Jerry had to replace the same parts and showed me that I was lied to. Jerry recommended parts he used for his car (same make and model), and I never had another brake issue. Rebekah is also super knowledgeable and thorough, and works hard to get me an appointment even when they're busy. Jaek's can work on any car from luxury to economy, and you can rest easy knowing they're honest, good, hard working people there. Thank you Jaek's for always taking care of us!

Decided that I wanted it repaired instead of trashing it…read more I was so afraid that it was going to cost thousands of dollars because the wheels were all pointed in different directions. I got a call the next day telling me the total cost was going to be $780. I was stunned. And it was ready the very next day. Eric is a gem. He told me exactly what to say and what to do to get my car to pass all the inspections. And guess what? It did. You know all these new garages with clean white floors that you can eat off of? Well this is not that. Eric is an old school mechanic and his shop reflects that wisdom. Eric has all my business from now on.

I shopped around and bought Honda Civic and decided to take my car to Honda Specialist because I personally learned it is always the best to go to Auto Mechanic who specializes in certain vehicle / brands. I made an appointment with Carlos. Carlos was really thorough because he took a lot of time to show me visually what should be repaired and what could be waited. Karlos gave me more than amazing quote. I dropped my car and received my car on same day and I can feel the difference in my car although the car has nearly 200,000 miles. Thank you Karlos!
