Probably a wheel bearing, but Toyota dealer's tech said "front bearing," but then master tech said "rear bearing." Tire outlet tech said "both rear bearings." -Fortunately, TL Motors has special microphones (!) that positively identified the left rear bearing as the culprit. At about $1000/bearing, you don't want to be guessing. -Yes, while they were at it, I ended up following their recommendation and having all four struts replaced. But this was not an upsell; I'd been running on original struts and they were shot. Not sure why Toyota dealer (where I'd been servicing the car) missed the disintegrating struts. The Highlander is now riding like new. -Three other pluses: 1) they show you the replaced parts as evidence they've failed, 2) they provide free Uber/Lyft shuttle service, 3) they thoroughly wash and detail the car, which is something the dealer never did.

Too many things he said and the way he said them made no sense and made me not trust him. People may have other opinions but you asked me for mine. And there it is.

This place is a legit professional exhaust shop. I searched around based on reviews and past…read moreexperiences with other muffler shop. Some places slap stuff on and send you out. It will work, but not always be the best. This shop takes pride in the work they do. Owner is friendly and personable. I even chatted him up regarding welding, and he openly took the time to teach/show me some things to try as practice to learn better welding. This was not even related my my job!! I consider my job pretty simple... for my skill level (shade tree mechanic). I did not want to deal with it in my driveway. So I needed a shop that I would trust to do it as I would do it. I would take my time and get it right. No Wham,Bamm thank you mamm stuff. Here is an example of the little details you want in a professional shop. When putting on the clamps for the exhaust tips the owner (Sorry, I forgot your name, my bad) rotated the clamps in such a way that they would never be noticeable (clamp bolts) from the rear. This car is low and it probably would not have mattered but I know from experience from other shops that they would have just slapped the clamps on. Would have it worked? Yes. "Professional detail" no. The details matter and that is how you know you are dealing with someone that cares about the service they provide you. My job was a Corsa cat back exhaust on a 2024 Ford Mustang GT. The owner knew exactly what he was doing. Not like some other shops where it just seems like the person is guessing half the time. I work on my own project cars. So I have a certain skill level and sometimes I am that person that is guessing on how to do something. This shop was none of that. Professional and knowledgeable all the way. I will be letting everyone I know about the shop for their exhaust needs. You get what you pay for. The prices at this shop are fair, competitive and totally reasonable. Seriously I felt like I got a bargain just based on how professional the shop was. Side note- The owner has legit welding skills too. I saw examples. I would not hesitate for him to weld anything I needed done. NOT RELATED TO THIS SHOP AT ALL... Just a personal rant about some Yelp reviewers... Again NOT RELATED to this shop or any reviews of this shop...My two cents on Yelp reviews overall where people say they felt over-charged or they know they can get something cheaper. Look, you are paying for someone's skill and overhead (of the business). Stop thinking it is okay to scr3w skilled professionals of their labor because you think it SHOULD cost less. Seems you do not have the skills or understand the knowledge need to do skilled jobs you want someone to preform for you. First off just remember EVERYTHING is more expensive now. Then there is a big difference between doing a job correctly and doing a hack job that will be "good enough'. If you are one of those "good enough" shoppers, then stop leaving bad reviews all over Yelp for business that are actually trying to give you a professional and correct service. Those businesses are NOT trying to rip you off... they are trying not to screw you with shoddy service,

I came here for brake job and thought it was one price but ended up being a different price. Norm Reeves quoted me $646 for all 4 wheels with new pads and resurfacing the rotors. This place charged me $640 without the pads. I supplied the pads because I get free replacements from Auto Zone so I thought the price was only $500 but when the job was done they charged me $640. So an additional $140 ($35 per rotor for resurfacing) because they have to send them out to get resurfaced somewhere else. Hye Tech Auto Repair in Covina quoted me $500 with resurfacing the rotors because they can do it in-house. If it wasn't for the price confusion I would have given them 5 stars.

As the invoice says, they charged me for "top off fluids" on the last line in photo. I check my coolant after getting my car back and it's at one inch.. my washer fluid is also very low. (I don't mind that, not necessary) but for my coolant to be very low even though they charged me to top off fluids is bad business. Aside from that, My issue was that under heavy load, like going up a large hill or pushing to go into freeway, my steering wheel would stiffen and my battery light would flash. Took it to them, they didn't contact me for 3 days. I had to call them and Mike says 'I didn't have your number I lost it. Ok cool. He said he'll call me the next day to discuss the issue. 2 days pass I go into the shop and ask. He says he lost my number again. NO communication. All in all I still have the issue of battery light turning on under heavy load. They didn't fix the issue, I still paid. and they tried overcharging.
