I replaced the brake pump/accumulator in my 2007 Prius and now the Prius would not start. Avi was going on vacation so did not have time to look at my car. Instead he told me what to look for that would cause this problem based on his experience. Sure enough it was one of the things he told me about I had done. I fixed the bent contacts with a pliers and THE CAR STARTED AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WERE GONE! I called another shop that worked on hybrids and when I told them the car had 345K miles on it they did not even want to look at the car but tried to refer me to some other shop. Avi has helped me over the phone at least 5 times, Oil burn issue (got another 18k miles out of an engine that was burning so much oil it fouled the plugs in a mile), replacing engine and now replacing brake pump/accumulator. The only time I actually paid him was to fix the display in a 2nd gen Prius. I Fed Ex the display to him. Avi personally delivered the fixed part on his way home so I would get it a day sooner. read more

You won't regret going to this guy. He is honest & wont over charge you. I called about battery and his response was helpful. read more

Made an appointment with me same day, then wasn't there when I showed up. Said he was getting parts and was now an hour out because of traffic (for the appointment he had made earlier in the day?), I said I'd wait and then he never showed up, ghosted the appointment and didn't answer calls. Insanely unprofessional. read more

The best mechanic I've ever dealt with. Dealer and other several other mechanics wanted to charge me $1,800 and more even to replace entire fuel pump when only a small part (in photo) needed to be replaced. I ended up walking away with less than $330 damage. Great guy too. Not a phony. Press and hold to react read more

I was having issues with my 2015 Toyota Prius C and called Avi up and he was able to help me out. I told him I would arrive at 12:30pm but I was still having issues with my car so I was running about 1.5 hrs late I called to let him know and he was cool with my delay. Luckily when I showed up Avi was able to run a test on my car and let me know I needed a new battery and he was able to install it at a great price. Thanks Avi for the great and attentive service. If any of my Prius owner friends need a great repair shop I definitely recommend Hybrid Fix. read more

As everyone else mentions Avi is the real deal you really can't get better than him to fix your prius. Unfortunately my abs actuator went out and I was out of the toyota warranty window. I gave Avi a call and spoke to him and he did help diagnose my issue over the phone and told me to call around and let him know if I wanted to follow through with him. His price and his turn around time was unmatched so I went with Hybrid Fix I dropped it off in the morning and he told me it will probably be done later that night. He mention just to replace the actuator as the master cylinder is most likely fine. I picked it up that night and all my issues with brakes was solved. His price is reasonable and he really knows his stuff. I HIGHLY recommend going with Avi due to his knowledge, kindness, and reasonable price. If you want the job done right, cheap AND quick Avi is your guy. read more

This is your man right here. My super old Ford Escape had a dead hybrid battery. One auto shop said I needed to replace it which was gonna be bout $2,500. Called up Avi and he said he could charge it for me. Totally revived my battery for a fraction of that price. Since I left it overnight he had to park it on the street. There was an empty suitcase in the back and he had the smarts to unzip and open it to deter thieves. What a guy! read more

I give Avi 10-Stars. My catalytic converter was stolen and I was just devastated. It's so expensive to replace and also, I'm not the most knowledgeable in car repairs. By sheer luck I came across Avi's place Hybrid Fix here on Yelp and the initial communication well super well. When I brought my Prius in and met him in person, I knew I had come to the right place. I highly recommend Avi, especially for those like me that aren't the most savvy with car repairs. I'm super grateful to have found Avi's Hybrid Fix!!! And the best part is that he has two SUPER CUTE CATS, Betsy and Blacky. TIP FROM AVI - Don't get cheap oil for your car during oil change. It'll end up ruining your engine sooner than later, especially in a car like Prius. read more

My super reliable Prius had the red triangle show up so I brought my car to Avi. He was super mellow, friendly and gave me a fair price and excellent timeframe. Once the car was done with repairs, I found myself just having a good old fashioned chat with Avi. He's just a friendly guy and I'll definitely be coming back. Having two cool cats hanging around is a bonus. His shop has a black-and-white checkerboard pattern. There is another shop to the left of his, they are not associated with him. read more

Avi as I read through each one of your reviews, I realize I have nothing new to say but Thank You for sharing your time with me. Before I met you I was so sad and lost because I didn't know what to do with my 2008 Lexus LS600hL with all the maintenance warning lights on. After meeting you and learning more than I ever thought possible about my vehicle, I left with knowledge, a plan and hopefully a new friend. Thank you for turning my frown upside down read more

That's it. I'm officially marrying these guys. Officially! Second time in. First time I had a minor issue, the guy Avi was super nice, never talked over my head (which is easy to do, heh), I understood the situation clearly, was charged a fair price, easy peasy. It was super hot outside that day, and the other guy even brought out an umbrella so I could sit in the shade! Very cool dudes all around. Saved me time, money, and stress. Plus nice to talk to. Went back again because weird noises were coming from my car, and after a mild panic attack (When are we gonna stop Gooling symptoms, folks?), I went in here again, turns out my issue was basically nothing, and I was fixed up and driving home in minutes. Brilliant! They could have easily bullshat me, but they didn't, because they're not jerks. It's nice to feel confident that when you have a car issue, you have a place to go to and not have to worry about being misled. The relief I feel, my children! Not deducting stars for this, but Editor's Note: They may have "business hours," but sometimes they're there, sometimes they're available, sometimes they're super busy, and sometimes they're not. So call ahead, and hopefully you're not having a mega ultra emergency. read more

Hybrid Fix - happy customers - Auto Repair Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After calling and checking out multiple auto shops in the Ktown area and none of them could really identify the issue with my car, I decided it was time to go to a hybrid specialist, and I'm really glad I did. Avi was initially hard to reach, but I just called the next day and got ahold of him to ask for a quote for a diagnosis. I told him there was an issue with my car's brakes making a barking / squeaking noise despite completely replacing the brake rotors and pads a couple months ago. I did some personal research and figured it might be an issue consistent with the recall/customer warranty program on the boosters/actuator that Toyota had out on 2010 Prius's awhile back, but given that it expired in 2019, it'd cost thousands to fix now. Avi heard me out and was gracious enough to not only make time for me to drop in the day of, but checked out the car, helped to diagnose the issue, gave his opinion on next steps & potential costs, AND fixed my airbag light - all for free! Avi, if you have a Venmo or Zelle, would love to give you a tip or some form of compensation for your professional help. I appreciate it so much! Will definitely come back for future fixes & Prius-related concerns. read more

I am giving them five star even without doing any work. I called them just to get a quote. The person I talked spent over ten minutes to educate me about my car and what I could be needed. I never trusted anyone specially any car mechanic just by talking on the phone. He definitely sounded like an expert and most importantly an honest mechanic. Thank you for kind advise. read more

Avi quickly diagnosed an issue with my inverter water pump on my 2nd Generation Prius. He replaced it in an hour and charged a reasonable price. I will definitely check with Avi re: future issues with my Prius read more

A story to explain how great this place is: I've gone here more than once and had always been satisfied but one day, I had just had an oil change at a different place and a few miles away my car just died. I was right near a Toyota dealer so I figured I'd just bring it there since it was a block away. I drop it off and a few hours later the dealer tells me my fuel pump is broke and needs replacing. I thought this strange since there was no problems or signs prior. He also quoted the kind of price for a replacement that could make a grown man cry. Just to get a second opinion, I call Avi up at Hybrid Fix and explain what was going on. Over the phone, Avi tells me it isn't a common thing and to go back to the dealer, pull one cable on a sensor and if the car runs, it isn't a broken fuel pump. He says it is probably that during the oil change, when they checked my filter, some debris fell into where the filter is. I go back to the dealer, get them to take me to my car, pull the cable and lo and behold, the car runs! I get home and Avi suggests having the oil change guys vacuum out the area where they checked the filter. I do that and the car has been just fine ever since. Lesson learned. Avi diagnosed my car over the phone because he does things like take the time to talk and listen to the problem and knows his stuff for the cars he works on. What could have cost me a few grand was fixed by a phone call with Avi and a Bissell. I can't recommend these guys enough! They are honest, they have fair pricing, and know their stuff! read more

My 2005 prius needed a inverter water pump replacement and Avi did an amazing job. He was super quick and charged a very reasonable price. I just moved so I didn't have a mechanic, but Avi will be my guy from now on. Thanks for the amazing work! read more

Finding a great, dependable mechanic in LA is like finding a needle in a haystack. Luckily, I found that needle on the first try! My Lexus hybrid had a dead 12 volt battery which requires a certain type of battery that cannot be picked up at an auto parts store. I called Hybrid Fix on a whim while I was waiting for roadside assistance to jump my car. I told him the symptoms, he went and picked up the battery immediately. It took less than an hour to fix my car and was half the price I had been quoted elsewhere! Oh, and after replacing my battery, they even wiped of some damage a Uhaul had left on my bumper... for free!!! That extra mile just earned him a lifelong customer! read more

Our 2008 Prius' hybrid battery started dying on us, and even my usual mechanic (who owns the same Prius!) admitted that he didn't have a good resource nearby. After calling around, I found Avi through a neighbor recommendation, and really appreciated his honest, straightforward approach. You can tell he takes huge pride in his work, and the work was done quicker than expected, along with very reasonable prices. I'll definitely be taking my Prius back to him, it's a huge relief to find someone who cares about my car as much as I do. read more

Amazing. It isn't easy to find an honest mechanic to help you if you don't know anything about cars (like me). I called Hybrid Fix after I took my Prius in to the dealer for routine service, and they recommended over 1000 dollars in repairs. It seemed suspicious, so I took it to Hybrid Fix for a second opinion. Sure enough, the things they recommended were totally unnecessary. The owner showed me exactly what (wasn't) wrong and took the time to explain it to me without charging anything!. He is also a cool guy to talk to. Will definitely be coming back. read more

I only trust Avi, the owner of Hybrid Fix with our Prius. He is honest, intelligent and has integrity, which is not easy to find when dealing with auto repair businesses. The dealership that I bought my car from gave me a nice long list of suggested repairs for me to consider after my final purchase inspection. I brought the list to Avi and he gave me honest advice rather about what was needed vs what is not. He did not try to sell me on paying for unnecessary repairs. I cannot recommend Avi and Hybrid Fix enough. read more

I just found my new mechanic!!!! I've been dealing with a trunk not closing properly for a number of months. Brought it to Hybrid Fix and he fixed it in half an hour. I asked him his cost, he said whatever I felt the fix was worth. I handed him a $50 A I DID IT AGAIN!! My girlfriend's grandson kicked out the vent cover in the back seat well over a year ago. It was in about 10 little pieces, I couldn't figure out how to fix it. I just went to Hybrid Fix and Avi had it in in no time. He's THE MAN read more

I went to Hybrid Fix because I needed help replacing the display console of my Prius, and I'm super happy that I ended up going a little out of the way to get help from Avi. He's really friendly, no-nonsense, and definitely knows what he's doing. I gave him a call to let him know my issue and he told me I could come right away. He replaced my display console right in front of me and walked me through what he was doing, why he was doing it a certain way, and issues to look out for in the future. Couldn't be happier with the service that I got. Great price too. I'll be coming back here for all of my repair/maintenance issues from now on! read more

My prius started randomly having problems with the dashboard. The dashboard would not turn on then I would have problems turning the car off. I took it to another mechanic who told me that he couldn't address the problem and that I needed to take it to the dealer. When I took it to the dealer, they told me that it would be about 17-1800 and that it would take 2-3 weeks to fix because they had to order the part! Enter Avi. I gave him a call and left a message explaining my predicament. He immediately knew what the issue was and told me he could fix it within the day! His estimate also was only 375. This guy is a prius savant who is honest, has integrity, and seems like an overall good person. He deserves your business. read more

Avi is the actual GOAT. He is like a savant when it comes to Prius / hybrid vehicles. Goes out of his way to talk you through the process. our Prius with under 90k miles had a bad inverter and he has advocated for us so hard and is helping us get the repair done via a recall. DO NOT HESITATE HE IS THE BEST! read more

Avi is the truth!! He denied my money and informed me that I was under warranty on my Toyota . Saving me 370$ that he originally quoted me on.. Now mind you other smog repair places all quoted me around 650$. Plus he even explained to me that Toyota was gonna try there best not to cover me so he told me exactly what to say and do. Sure enough they ended up fixing my car for free after some back and forth of me following Avi's instructions ..This is the most honest helpful mechanic I've ever been forsure! Could've took my money but instead put me on game for me to get my car fixed for free!! read more

Avi is honestly a great mechanic, but most importantly he's an all around wonderfully decent guy. If you have a Prius and need services in any way, Avi is your guy. The jokers at Toyota of Downtown took THREE DAYS to tell me it would cost $4,000 to fix my Prius, and Avi did all the repairs for about $400 in a day. Avi was extremely thorough, and popped my hood and pointed out where the problem areas were, explained what was happening, and what his plans were to fix everything, and was 100% transparent in his methodology. When I asked questions, at no point did I feel like he was patronizing towards me like some other mechanics tend to be towards women and I really respected his knowledge of Priuses. My lovely fiancee also went on the hunt to buy a used Prius, and Avi was SUPER helpful and checked out a few Priuses with my fiancee before he finally settled on one. If you have a Prius, and you need a mechanic, Avi is your guy. I trust him 100% and if the Yelp reviews say anything, a lot of other people do too. Thanks Avi! read more

Avi is the BEST... So kind but be patient. His turn around is lacking. You will need to wait a little bit longer for your car because.... HE is doing the work himself. He has no help. He wants to make sure it is done right. He is the BEST. read more
