After 3 months the EV was returned but had a range less than half of what was promised. In less than 2 months the motor died on the freeway and the car had to be towed back to the shop. After many more months of excuses and promises that I would be "next in line" I sued the shop. The court ordered the return of my car which had been towed to an undisclosed location. I was also awarded a full refund and additional monetary loss-of-use damages. But before I could recover my car, Adam disabled the car and reprogrammed its computer. I don't know what is worse, the incompetence, dishonesty, or maliciousness.

This shop has great customer service from the front desk lady to the owner who I think is the technician/mechanic. Besides having great customer service, they both are very knowledgeable of hybrids. They provided 3 options with the cost and warranty for each. Reasonable prices. I don't have a Prius or a hybrid but if I ever own one, I will come here or send anyone in need of battery help here for sure. To top it off, this shop also seems very trustworthy. Bookmarking this for future reference.

We had to take our Prius in for a smog check (why though, it's a Prius!) and I called in to to make an appointment, which was easy to do. When we arrived, they told us where to position our car, asked for the DMV paperwork, and quickly went about performing the smog check. They performed it quickly, did it for a transparent fixed price (some places charge more for certain cars, including Prius's, which seems strange), and got us on our away quickly. The price was reasonable too - about $60 all in. They pointed us to some chairs where we could sit and wait while they did the test - nothing fancy, but it's good to have an option to sit. For whatever reason, smog checks are something I kind of dread, even though it's always painless. Having a local place that can do this quickly and efficiently for a reasonable price is always worth calling out.

Review long overdue. I've been going to TLS Auto Service for over 10 years, and Anthony, the owner,…read morehas worked on several of my vehicles over the years--including a 3rd gen 4Runner, 3rd gen Prius, and now my 5th gen 4Runner and 4th gen RAV4. I bring all my cars here for regular maintenance like oil changes, brake fluids, differential fluid and coolant fluids maintenance, brake pad and rotor replacements. They've also handled bigger repairs such as an axle seal leak, valve cover gasket leak, and fixing warped rotors. Everything has always been done right the first time. What really sets this place apart is that Anthony does most of the work himself, and after the job is done, you hear directly from him about what was done and why. He's very polite and easy to talk to, and you never feel like you're being ripped off. The quality is as good as--or better than--the dealership, using original Toyota parts, but without dealership prices. No middleman, no customer service rep--just straight answers from the person actually working on your car. He also documents major repairs with before-and-after photos and will even check in a day or two later to make sure everything's driving well. Most importantly, they're honest, reliable, and trustworthy. I've never had an issue in the 10+ years I've been coming here. If you're looking for a shop you can actually trust, I highly recommend TLS Auto Service.

No reviews on Yelp? Surprising. This is a pretty legit place. Customer service is 10/10, They…read moreestimated my car would be done in 4 hours but it was done in 1 hr, so worth it to wait. There are a lot of little food places in the area like walking distance so the wait wasn't terrible and they have a waiting area to sit at the shop and a makeshift bathroom area as well. I found "Hybrid Battery Lab & Auto Repair" by their bumper sticker. I've been seeing constantly while driving around town but have never been close enough to take a picture of it. One day while walking in the Costco parking lot. I saw a green Prius with this business sticker on it in the parking lot and I thought to myself, I better take a picture now at this point it's a sign that battery problems may be in my near future as my 2012 Prius is approaching the 190,000 mile birthday mark. And just like I thought on Christmas day my dash lit up with the ole "CHECK HYBRID SYSTEM STOP THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE PLACE", I looked up the code and everyone in the Prius Form Chat was pointing to battery problems. I took my car to my family mechanic and he quoted me $5000 to replace it and warned me that it wasn't wise to replace the cells as it's a temporary fix that you'll be coming back to fix every 6 months or even less time. My logic is I don't have 5g's, honestly I didn't ever really have the $800 to replace my cells & committing between the Bus/ Uber/ Lyft alone will cost me more than the $812.00 the business was charging to do this procedure. This place does have a 6 months warranty, so it is just the kinda blessing I need to say goodbye to my car and get my ducks together, to either save for another car or to try to save $5000.to replace the hybrid battery, which I can't justify at the moment. I'll see if I get 6 months out of the process and update you all . Wish me luck, for my own records got this process done on January 17 2026 Happy New Year
