    A much cheaper alternative as proof Harvey's has horrible prices.
    Kel M.

    I took my car to Harvey's Autotech (due to positive reviews) on 9/12. I had run diagnostic and told them that the inverter was bad on my hybrid car. They said they would take a look at it tomorrow (9/13). I was fine with that to ensure that the diagnostic codes were correct - that's fair. They didn't say, "Usually those parts are expensive" or "Expect this to be over $2,500 if that needs to be replaced." I didn't hear back so I called on 9/14 - they said they'd get to it later that day. I waited, called again a couple days later and waited some more. I didn't hear back until a week after I dropped off the car (on 9/19) and they said it was the inverter and it would be $5,311.56 to fix it. There were no options to get used, refurbished or new third-party parts (even though these are readily available online). Instead they use genuine Toyota parts which means you might as well bring your car to the dealer for that price. This makes sense for newer cars, but not older ones. Luckily there are better options like Hybrid2Go who offer a LIFETIME warranty on inverter replacements for 3 times less the cost of Harvey's AND they will do it wherever the car is. I asked for the diagnostic fees ($149.92) to be waived, because it took a week for them to get the diagnostics done even though they said they'd do it the next day. They refused saying, they already "Did the work for diagnosing the car." In the end, I towed my car back home and ordered the entire inverter assembly used from ebay for $380 and will install it myself. It will probably take me, a programmer (not a mechanic), around 2 hours of work (faster than Harvey's estimate with "pro's"). So if you're able, go for it yourself. Lying to your customer about how long an estimate will take and then estimating 3X times a competitor is extremely poor business practice. Trust is EVERYTHING when it comes to a mechanic. All these positive reviews are from people who don't know a thing about cars and/or are not willing to look things up online. Just because the team is "nice" doesn't mean they are going to give you a fair deal. See my attached pictures for proof. You've been warned.

    My family and I use to come here all the time since we moved here to get our cars repaired. Just…read morerecently, I took my car in January to repair the clutch actuator in my hybrid and they took 4 months to complete the repair after trial and error. They took on a bigger project than they were qualified for, damaging a part after another, eventually replacing the hybrid battery and transmission. They always had an excuse pushing the deadline on every single inbound call. After applying daily pressure on them on a continuous basis , I finally received my car in April, however, the shop still owes me $583 for one of the car rentals they told me to purchase. I kept calling to retrieve the money but they didn't keep their word and denied paying me back. I could have easily placed a lien on the business for $583 with all the proof to retrieve my money but you know my good heart didn't follow through. Instead, writing this review will sting bigger and is the least I can do for the people. Im an easy going guy but after going through this extensive car repair, we decided to pull away from doing any future business for the wrong doing and unprofessionalism of their actions. I believe it's only right for everyone to hear about this and avoid what I went through, therefore, save yourself a headache. The owner is not a man of his word. This will bake in slowly. P.S. I also have screenshots, messages, and documents in case they want to lie and deny the truth.

    It's always a big question when you go to a mechanic... will they be honest? Will they try and work…read moreme? Is it going to break the bank? .... J's garage is honest, to the point and fair. Like any mechanic shop it's busy and there is a bit of organized chaos but I can say for J's they keep it all pretty clean and organized. I took my 2011 Honda civic sedan in and I needed a few things covered. An oil leak, my air conditioning, and my speedometer was still on but not showing how fast I've been going. J had it for about 45 min (they were busy) and he was able to run diagnostics, find the oil leak and figure out the pump was out in my car. I don't particularly like sharing number but in my research and at a Honda dealership I would have been in the hole 3k easily and 1k of that would have just been for the diagnostics. Jay was more than fair with his price and Was straight forward with the price, but it did not break the bank and when you know you have a good mechanic you don't have to question your trust in them. Needless to say my car is running perfectly, everything is fixed and not only has J's have my trust and respect they have e a loyal customer. The quality of work matches the integrity of its owner and leader J. He has his family come in and help and honestly just meeting his kids and having passive conversations with them I could say if I knew nothing about J, his kids reflect integrity, hard work, and perspective. I will keep my promise to bring yall lunch ones the school year starts and again thank you for The honest and hard work. I finally have air conditioning again after 2 years lol ... it feels great!!!!

    I took my 2001 Toyota Sequoia here to get repaired after originally taking it to a Toyota…read moredealership that quoted me $7,500 for the repairs. That felt insane to me, so I decided to get a second opinion and took it to Auto Technik instead. I am SO glad I did. I first reached out to them through Yelp, then hopped on a phone call with them, and they were able to take my car in the very next day. After diagnosing it, we were all pretty shocked to find out that what the Toyota dealership said needed to be repaired had actually been misdiagnosed. Jay was able to figure out what was really going on simply by plugging into the car and properly reading the diagnostics. We were honestly appalled that the Toyota dealership hadn't caught it in the first place. So instead of spending $7,500 at the dealership and most likely STILL not fixing the actual problem, Auto Technik was able to properly diagnose and fix my Sequoia for around $1,500. Aside from saving me a ton of money, everyone here was just so nice and communicative with me throughout the entire process. I felt like they were honest with me, explained what was going on, and genuinely wanted to make sure the actual problem was fixed. I'm seriously so appreciative of Jay and everyone at Auto Technik. After this experience, I'm really glad I found a shop I feel like I can trust with my car. I wish them nothing but continued success!

On he last job he did for me he told me he thought someone stole my catalytic converter, and I said , I think the muffler just fell off, then he said bring it in early in the morning so he could look at it and get the parts for it, he changed me 320, and did absolutely nothing to it but slip it back on and tighten it back on which takes like 5 minutes, cause when I moved it fell off and I had to put it back on, then I took it to a muffler shop and asked if anything was replaced, they said no, it was all the original part, he is a thief. So I tried to contact him but he just ignored me, so im letting his costumers know what a fake he is and if you do business with him ask for the part boxes and your extra parts when dealing with a crook.

I took it in to see if they could check it out. I was lucky to have spoken to Anthony. He was very kind but direct and showed me what the possible problem could be based on the age of the car, sound and fumes. But he made it clear he would need to use the lift to confirm. He was apologetic he couldn't take care of it right away due to their current workload so I took it in the next week, and in the same day it was ready for pick up. He was right, it was the part he thought but instead of a crack it was fully broken in half! Luckily, he is a welder and I didn't need to buy a new piece. It was my first time going to a mechanic in Corona so I appreciated the service received as I was anxious to find a reliable mechanic. The cost was fair and I am so appreciative it was done so quick. My car is running great again!
