Best mechanic I've ever had by a mile. I've been taking my 2018 Prius here for years and it's in great shape. Once I hit a pothole and bulged a tire that was only a few months old. Michael and the team replaced the tire same day and didn't even charge me for labor. They have fixed a minor problem without charging me multiple times. Highly recommended! read more

Mike and team take great care of my hybrid. Good pricing and warm treatment. No stress ! I no longer go to the dealer.

​This review is long overdue. If I could give Mike and Electric Ave a thousand stars, I would! They do amazing work and stand by it. They're honest, affordable, and always go above and beyond to care for their customers. To name just two examples of many, when my car broke down and the tow truck was going to arrive at the shop after closing, Mike stayed late to receive my car and made sure I got home safely. He squeezed me in on multiple occasions and completed the repair on a tight turnaround when I needed my car fixed quickly so I could get to work or care for family. Thank you, Mike and everyone at Electric Ave for everything you do! read more

Mike at this shop is fantastic. We found Electric Ave because they are known to be Prius experts in LA. Despite the fact that Mike quoted me a price I believed to be the worth of the whole vehicle, he calmly coached me thru his bid, explained his view on the car's worth and laid out my options. He is very gracious and honest. I did not have the servicing done, but I still recommend Mike and Electric because of their knowledge and professionalism, and would go back to him for Prius concerns in the future. read more

I've been taking my Prius here for awhile as I really dislike Toyota of Hollywood. They are very nice, seem honest, always communicate well about price and the status of when my car will be done and the cost seems reasonable. Thanks Mike (and the team at Electric Avenue)! read more

I moved out of state and needed the receipts of the work done while I was in LA and when I called I'm Not sure if it was Mike or an employee but he helped me get this information as soon as I hung up the phone. So 5 stars for service in the past and presently !! read more

330 pm, Wednesday, August 20, 2025, It actually began with a phone call on Tuesday morning. I've read Electric Ave's Yelp reviews... impressive! Mike answers the phone and I ask about AC service for my Civic Hybrid. I knew what I needed, so I had to describe exactly my situation. I needed routine AC servicing. It was estimated $200. We agreed on 4pm but Mike requested to try and come in earlier than that. I obliged, left the Miracle Mile and got over to the Silver Lake shop in 30 minutes. Dang! But not surprised, the bays and staging area in front were full of cars! I've seen it frequently when driving past on Hyperion. One single space at the end and I squeezed in and parked. I walked over to the shop office. First thing I see was a huge Eddy Grant poster. Cool! " We're gonna walk down to #ELECTRIC AVENUE..." Mike is on the phone and a minute later we are going through the new customer intake. He hands me the clipboard, "Fill out the first four lines," as I'm doing this, I refresh his memory. I'm here for the AC service. He kindly asked if I needed an Uber home. I said no, I'm walking to nearby eateries to hang out and eat. I chose Tomato Pie BTW, highly recommend. I get called an hour later, Mike said the car is ready. The AC system is fine and filled up with refrigerant. It need about half pound. Good news, it was below the quoted estimate. We start the small talk while we close out the tab. Mike and I are LA Kings fans! Awesome, I love this. Haha. BTW, 3% CC add on fee. I believe there was no fee using a debit bank card. I wish there was a thorough print out of the diagnosis, service, and the courtesy inspection. He told me verbally that my tires, brakes, suspension (shocks and struts not leaking). Hmm, okaayyy. Another shop had told me that there was leakage and needed replacement. So, I asked to confirm that they were okay. Mike said yes but if I wanted a smoother ride, I should consider the replacement work. Up next, I'll ask Mike about the worn items that I know and discuss a schedule. Thanks Electric Avenue! Edit: the AC is super cold as it should be after having it serviced by Mike & the fine folks att Electric Ave. Trust your intuition, if your AC doesn't feel as cold as it used to and it's been 2-3 years since last service, it's time to service it again. It'll be much more expensive if one of those main AC components fail. read more

Electric Ave - Full of hybrids! Mostly Priuses, haha! - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Very clean Honest quick and easy very friendly staff and very knowledgeable staff.i would need their number if i have an electrical car

I rarely leave reviews but was blown away today with Mike's and the shop's friendly service. Stopped in for a tire repair and was immediately helped and on my way. Can't recommend this place enough if you're in the area. A rare combination of excellent work and client service. A+! read more

Super friendly service. Mike is the best. Come for the stolen catalytic converter but stay for the routine maintenance.

Call them to get a quote for my Tesla, the guy seemed preoccupied and couldn't take my call. He said he would call me back and then I never heard from him. read more

2007 Toyota Prius, with a plethora of work. Honest, friendly, fair, and does great work! Highly recommend!

I had an excellent experience at Electric Ave. They were honest, knowledgeable, and charged a very fair price for the work. They took the time to explain what needed to be done, completed the repair quickly, and charged a fraction of what Toyota was asking. I highly recommend giving them a try. Mike and the team here are awesome and treat you like family. read more

Electric Avenue is a yes. We took our hybrid Audi here. Referred by Hi Tech down the street where we get our other car serviced. Electric Avenue was a real pleasure to work with. Excellent communication, full explanation of what the car needed, work time, etc. Patient. Nice. Open to discussion. They listen. Honestly, very happy they're in the neighborhood. Mike is the best. And the work is really good and a good value.. Highly recommend. read more

Mike is a honest great guy, won't over sell you and is extremely knowledgeable about electric vehicle repair. He gave me a ride home too. Pricing is very fair! read more

First time bringing my vehicle in and 5-stars across the board. Mike and the crew got my Tesla Model Y in shortly after I called to fix an issue with my front right brake grinding. They resolved it within a few hours free of charge - quick, painless, friendly, and complimentary. You truly can't ask for better. I'll be back next time I need service. Highly recommend. read more

I had a great experience with Electric Ave. Mike was friendly and professional. The overall price for a starter battery and installation for my Prius C was about 40% less than the price Toyota of Glendale quoted me for the same thing - a significant savings. They also performed the work quickly - and even washed my car. Electric Ave has won my future business. read more

Updating my review of five years ago to say I'm still receiving awesome service at Electric Ave. This morning, I dropped off my car in for an oil change. Mike gave me a call to let me know it would be a good idea to replace my spark plugs. I told him I was a teacher and that August is the dreaded month we don't get paid. He agreed we could hold off on the replacement until the next service. When I arrived to pick up the car, Mike had applied a "teacher's discount" that lowered the price of my oil change. We had a nice chat about his wife, who used to be a teacher. This is why I don't go anywhere besides Electric Ave-they are genuinely focused on great service, for the car and the customer! This might be the best shop in all of LA. read more

I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. Edgar and Mike were extremely friendly and transparent. Brought in my 2023 tesla model x to have the ac evaporator cleaned out. I knew it was somewhat of an involved procedure and I didnt want to take it to tesla services because everyone knows you'll be leaving your car there for days. I got 2 kids and places to be. I brought my car in at 9 am and told Edgar that I needed the car back before 2 pm to pickup my kid. Got the job done timely with no issues and they even performed a general inspection. Coming back here for sure. read more

I can't say enough about how happy I am with the service at Electric Ave. After a few warning lights (ABS, Transmission) came on in my 2019 Chevy Bolt, I took it to a local dealership, thinking the repair had to be done there. Despite having an appointment, I was told they couldn't even diagnose the issue for a few days. Since the warning light had a "Drive with Care" note, I was concerned about waiting that long just to learn what was wrong. I drove directly to Electric Ave. with no appointment. Mike said they'd look at it that day, despite the many other cars I saw on the lot. He called me a short time later with a very clear explanation of what the issue was, and what the minor cost of the two parts needed to fix it would be. He gave me a precise quote including labor, explained what time the parts would be expected to arrive the following day, and said that the car would be safe to drive if I wanted to use it until the parts arrived. The next day I got a call when the parts were in, brought the car in, and the repair was completed that day. Mike called and said if I could leave it overnight, they'd like to wash it before I picked it up the next morning. My car never looked so good. I highly recommend Electric Ave. for their superb service and honesty. Not that I wish to have more repairs for my car in the future, but you can be sure when I do need them, Mike and his team will be the first place I stop. Thank you! read more

Quick and easy service. Mike was fantastic and made the experience top tier! Thank you!

Great electric car service!! I was very happy about how easy it was to schedule my car for service. It was 1/3 the cost of going to my dealer. They offered me an Uber to go do something while the car was serviced. They are so good I traveled 25 miles to get my car serviced! read more

I needed a tire patched from a slow leak. I called up Mike at Electric Ave and he helped me out immediately. Incredible service, great vibe, awesome value. Can't recommend enough! read more

It's expensive, but Mike is only nice when he can sell you something. I love the hustle but this guy has zero respect for communicating with customers outside of his predetermined terms. He had my car and never told me if he'd need to keep it over night, I asked multiple times and he kept saying he'd let me know. Then the shop is closed and I have no clue if my car is in the shop safe or outside. I go in to check and mike glares at me when I'm trying to confirm my car is secure. Don't offer diagnostic then hold it over peoples heads. This place is for naive silverlake millennials who will throw money at an easy fix anywhere else. read more

I discovered Electric Ave Silver Lake through Yelp--nearly a five-star rating caught my eye, and the glowing reviews about Mike's friendliness and quick turnaround sealed the deal. After a great phone conversation where Mike clearly explained the pricing and services, I booked my appointment. When I arrived, he welcomed me with a smile and a cheerful "good morning," which set the tone right away. The service was estimated to take two hours, so I waited in their customer lounge. I'm so glad I found this place! Not only was the service reasonably priced, but they also washed my car--an unexpected but much-appreciated bonus. Big thanks to Mike and the entire team at Electric Ave Silver Lake. I'll definitely be recommending them to family, friends, and anyone reading this review! read more

I was recommended this shop by my usual mechanic when I was dealing with a bad brake actuator, which is a common problem on Prius cars. After being quoted $2.7k by Mike for the repair, I shopped around only to find that this was the cheapest for this repair in the area, and being $1000 cheaper than the dealer. I entrusted the job to Mike. I was offered a complementary Lyft ride to get home, and the afternoon after, back to Electric Avenue to receive my repaired car. In the end, the total repair time was less than a day, and even ended up significantly cheaper than the initial quote considering the repairs I required and the complementary services. In my brief experience here, I saw their professionalism, passion, and proficiency in repairing hybrid vehicles. With treatment befitting "King Charles", I'm thoroughly satisfied with my service here, and should another major issue arise with my hybrid, I will only have peace of mind here. read more

The 12 v battery on my BMW i3 was failing and I needed it replaced. The price was very fair.The work was done very fast, my car was ready by the following day. Overall a great experience, I will be returning in the future for services. Highly recommend to anyone with an electric car. read more

Called this person In seek of help and this a$$ hole automatically quoted me 4k for a new Lexus hydrid battery!! Not even willing to hear me out, or even let me explain that the cells were all replaced with OEM FACTORY NEW CELLS!! I am still getting "check hybrid system" error code because of other issues but this hybrid guru wants to give me quotes on replacing entire hydrid system, electrical system and ECU, instead of doing the job of a mechanic and trouble shoot the issues. This mechanic is a joke! read more

When my beloved Prius broke down in the middle of nowhere some miles outside Barstow, the nearest dealership wanted me to pony up $5k+ for the Prius. I had NEVER had a problem with my Prius and the expensive problem came at a terrible time (and not for nothing, with an $1,100 tow to get it to my regular mechanic in LA). When my regular mechanic couldn't fix it either, Mike and the team were great. They wasted no time assessing what was needed, offering me a great deal. Not for nothing, while they worked on diagnosing the trouble, Mike sent me home in a rideshare courtesy of the autoshop. THEN I started having tire issues. I had bought a couple new tires when the above-mentioned breakdown had happened and thought it was one of my new tires. It turned out the problem tire was actually one of the older ones, not the new (I'm a genius, I know). Never mind, said Mike and team. They found a nail, patched the tire, refused to let me pay (never mind the fact that they had nothing to do with the bum tire being... bum... they just helped me out anyway). These guys are knowledgeable about hybrids and electric where so few others genuinely are. They're fair, willing to work with the customer. And truly good guys who go way above and beyond. I've found my new mechanic. read more

Today my car completely stopped working in the middle of the street. Every light on the dash going off including ones I didn't even know I had. Norse runes and stuff. I tried to get a jump start, it did nothing. I got it towed over to Electric Ave and they had it diagnosed *and repaired before close of business* at a perfectly reasonable price. Something that could have wrecked my entire week wound up being just an inconvenient afternoon. read more

Brought my car in for its 6 month checkup. Mike and his team are awesome, super friendly and professional. Mike had ordered a cat shield in advance for me so we could take care of everything at once. Electric Ave did a awesome job as usual with everything and got me in and out pretty quickly. Wouldn't bring my car anywhere else, thanks again guys! read more

I am extremely grateful that my friend referred me to Mike and Electric Avenue. They specialize in hybrids and Mike is the nicest man. His prices are very fair and they even work Saturdays, which is really helpful because I can't get many places during the work week. I dropped my car off in the morning, and Mike paid for a Lyft to get me home. He pays for Lyfts for his customers. That's part of the service. Wow! I've never had that before. Mike called me throughout the day with updates, and they even washed my car and vacuumed the inside. They really went above and beyond. I'm very impressed and will only go to Electric Avenue for my car needs. read more

See all

This shop is amazing!!! I came to this shop after being ripped off by those hybrid battery rebuild mechanics. I remember driving by this shop a few times and the name caught my attention "Electric Avenue." I think its pretty cool! I called the shop and Harry helped me out and told me to come in for a free diagnostic. He was very helpful in explaining everything in regard to the codes my car had and what my options were. They fixed the car quickly the same day, and now the car runs like a champ! The whole staff is very friendly and professional. I will definitely be coming back if I need any future repair services. read more

This business is very unique and special, a gem within the community. We took our Hyundai Ioniq there because it kept showing a pressure loss in one of the tires. The 76 station up the street couldn't find a leak but charged us anyway. However, these guys at Electric Avenue (specifically Mike) not only found the leak and fixed it but they didn't even charge us because "we're neighbours in Silverlake." And if that wasn't kind enough, they also WASHED OUR CAR free of charge. We were blown away by their kindness and professionalism and would always recommend them very highly. read more

Michael and his team are HONEST, quick, friendly and reasonable. They'll offer to get you an uber home if you need one and will give realistic timeframes for when repairs should be done. Can't praise these guys enough. read more

Really happy with my visit here. Mike was able to fit me in to their busy schedule since I was on a tight timeline. Friendly service, clean and neat facility. I felt better about taking one of my cars to an EV specialist rather than any other regular shop. read more

I called for information and had one more question to ask, but heard "I got to go" click. With just giving my make, model, and year, over the phone, they came up with a diagnosis for my problem. Are they geniuses or what. read more

After posting my initial review, Mr. Mike had called me to tell me they can resynchronize my sensors. So, getting the TPMS fixed Monday. I am glad they called but I wish I didn't have to write my initial review. read more

My whole process in getting my hybrid battery changed with Electric Ave was seamless. Everything was clear and they were transparent with pricing. I will be coming back in the future! read more

Great selection of cars and friendly staff! The process was smooth, but I felt a bit rushed at times. Overall, a solid experience with decent prices. Would recommend to friends! read more
