2018 Tacoma engine swap - wasn't drivable prior due to severe top and bottom end damages.

Joe's Engine Repair is an honest business that you can trust. They won't upsell, won't undersell, they'll only let you know exactly what's needed to ensure reliability based on their decades worth of experience. The truck wasn't drivable - misfiring, overheating while idle, coolant leaking, milkshake oil, etc. It was confirmed that it needed a swap as practically every single engine-related error code showed up during inspection. We shopped around and got working on swapping the old 2018 for a new 2023 motor. They finished within a couple of days, and she's been driving beautifully ever since then. I highly recommend doing business with this company, but do recognize that they're a very small shop and are likely backed up year-round. Just know that the service is well worth the wait.

I scheduled an appointment as well. I brought in my 2021 Toyota Supra for a second pre-purchase inspection for extra reassurance since Carvana offers a 7-day return policy. Rene gave me helpful pointers and general maintenance information about the Supra, including what to expect during ownership. He also explained that I would receive pictures from the inspection, which I really appreciated. The inspection cost $250 and took about 2 hours. Afterward, I received both a text and email with the inspection results and recommendations. Rene also shared that he regularly partners with local shops for car inquiries and refers customers to specialists when needed, which showed me that they care about getting people the right help. The front entrance has a smaller waiting area with movies playing, which made the wait more comfortable. One helpful note for first-time visitors: when entering the lot, the main entrance is to the left rather than straight ahead. I accidentally drove toward the back at first, but someone from the smog shop next door kindly redirected me. Overall, the experience was great. I felt comfortable with the service, communication, and professionalism, and I would definitely return to 395 Auto & Performance in the future.

I write this in disappointment, if I could give 0 stars I would without hesitation. This shop has…read morebeen serving my mom for a few years at this point and I personally had done all the work on my own vehicle to save money so I saw no point to bring my vehicle to a shop. This had changed when my truck had needed its suspension refreshed after hitting 200k miles, I didn't have the time to work on it myself so I opted to go with this shop. I was skeptical so I had purchased many of the major components myself to save on the parts. I'd like to say that it saved me money but it's hard to say when the invoice still went into the thousands. After dropping off the truck I will say that they were quick on installing the components but maybe they went too fast as when I brought it home I see that the stickers that came on my shocks were still there, $2500 down and you can't spend 30 seconds to remove a sticker? Annoying? Sure, I expect a bit better presentation when I'm shoveling out that kinda cash. What really irritated me is actually what happened or rather what I found wasn't done with my friends vehicle who I'm taking care of while he's serving overseas. Once again I had his vehicle taken in for a transfer case repair on his vehicle. A costly job for sure, but while it was in the shop he wanted to have the mechanic to take a look at some electrical issues that were related to lighting. Once again the truck was in the shop and in relation to the main issue being fixed it does look like they did a decent job. That is until I brought that same truck into storage today and went to disconnect the battery only to find that the fuse cover not only wasn't on where it should've been but it was just floating the engine bay, who knows what sorta problem that could've lead to. Once again around 2.5k.. The lack of quality with my truck is one thing, me bringing in a friends truck while he's away is another. Now what I will say is the guys in the front are great however with me and my friends and family shoveling out cash to a place that won't take the time to do small things that could have avoided this whole review. I now have a problem and I could care less how nice they are in the front when in the back I'm getting screwed. If I'm paying you to be a professional, then act like a professional. If you want to charge prices like a professional then I think you should do the fixes that no one would notice when they're done, but when they're not? It's glaring. I'm not a teacher, I shouldn't have to go over your work when it's done. To everyone else who may have a repair that may need to be done. Go on YouTube and get tools from harbor freight. It's cheaper and you might feel better after doing it yourself, you'd definitely have more pride in your work than the lobotomized mouth breathers they had work on my stuff. 0/5
