The lady simply told me, after asking 3 questions that all it really needed was an oil and filter change. So I had my Grandson do that and the problem was solved. Thank you, Simply Toyota ! Honesty and integrity, qualities that are sorely lacking in today's world, is certainly welcomed when it comes our way. I received that from SIMPLY TOYOTA in Redlands, Ca. I firmly believe that you will too!!! read more

My husband and I own Lexus SUV's. We had taken them to the Lexus dealership where we bought them years ago. After new ownership or management we went elsewhere because things were going down hill. We then heard of Simply Toyota from a friend and decided to try them. We were impressed. It's not a fancy place but that didn't matter. We got our cars fixed and the prices were reasonable, a lot cheaper than other places we had used in the past. read more

They took their time going through everything thoroughly and explained the results clearly, which gave me confidence in my decision. If you own a Toyota, this should definitely be your go-to spot. read more

This was my first time at Simply Toyota. Really impressed with their service and price. It's family owned and they now have another satisfied customer. I had checked prices for a water pump replacement for a 2019 Toyota Touring at dealerships and found the prices high; you get good value for service at Simply Toyota. They don't try and rip you off. Lynn provided great customer service read more

Mixed feelings. Have 2 separate experiences over the past year. Mechanic is super helpful. Recently went in for a head gasket for my wife... but they ended up performing extra work for an additional $120 (spark plug, oil change) that was not talked about or agreed upon prior. No one likes being surprised when it's time to pay. Not sure why it's their practice to perform additional work without informing the customer. Side note: the spark plugs had been changed less than a year ago. So I'm not sure why they changed them again. Lady at the counter was pretty stern about it when we brought it up. Wife did not want to argue about it so she just paid it: Very strange but otherwise good job read more

This review is LONG overdue. Simply Toyota is one of the best things that exist in Redlands. I have been going to ST to service my 2014 Prius for many years now. I have had all my maintenance done here, as well as had my engine rebuilt. These guys are the real deal. If you have a Toyota and are NOT going to Simply Toyota, you are getting 100% ripped off. Simply Toyota is honest, caring, and trustworthy. Because of Joe and the people of ST, I will probably be a forever Toyota driver. read more

Always a pleasure working with Simply Toyota! Been a happy customer for 10 years now. They go out of the way to make sure the job is done to your satisfaction. read more

DISCLAIMER: You gotta book two weeks in advance to get work done on your vehicle. Call and plan accordingly. Now that is out of the way, these guys know their stuff, even the receptionist can tell you what's up and explain to you in very simple terms. Really great group of people doing great work. The price is very reasonable on top that they also only use original factory parts. What I appreciate is that they are pretty upfront about stuff and will not really try to upsell you to a service unless they think it is necessary. Been here twice, and I plan to go back. Highly recommend. read more

Sorry to say that Simply Automotive, simply dropped the ball on this one. Spoke with Lynn a week and a half ago to make an appointment for transmission service, serpentine belt change and a full vehicle inspection. Took the car in yesterday (2/7/24) to have the service done, dropped it off & got a call back about 3 hours later, stating car was done. What I got was a "safety inspection" (whatever that is) which appears to have been basically a brake inspection (rough idle wasn't mentioned), fresh serpentine belt, and an overfilled transmission. Noted that because on the drive home it was shifting oddly. Had to get out my suction pump & drew out almost a full quart of ATF from the transmission. Works fine now, but...the wotk order said nothing about pulling the pan on the transmission, no filter change, nada. So - for $380 I got a ticking time bomb back from my service appointment (good way to blow out seals on a transmission is to overfill it) and service that frankly isn't even up to Jiffy Lube standards. Lynn was pleasant enough, but I won't be darkening their door in future. Caveat emptor, folks. read more

Outstanding customer service by Lynn and was able to get our 03' Corolla in/out the same day to replace the starter. Thank you for the wonderful experience and assisting my daughter that to goes to UC Riverside. read more

I am so glad to find out about this business. They are great , friendly and honest people that you glad to have their services. I brought my car for checking up on bushings and joints, the mechanic drove and check everything with me and his assessment was a set of four new tires. Thank you for the time spent and fir the honest opinion. I encourage everyone to give this a try. The store & working area are clean. Do make an appointment because they are very busy. Highly recommended read more

We were experiencing a strange problem with our Avalon. The brakes were making a loud bang noise and the engine would stop running. Instead of just replacing the most likely part, a steering sensor ($500) that the codes were indicating, Joseph spent a few hours trouble shooting the electrical system until he found a ground wire that was not making contact.. Although we did need to pay for the labor to trouble shoot at least we did not have to pay for the $500 part we did not need. Thank you very much Joe. read more

My rav 4 needed a rear main seal replaced which is considered an elaborate job. I was quoted fair below dealership. Job was complete on time and haven't leaked since. I recommend this shop. read more

I brought my sick 2004 Toyota Tundra truck here to Be fixed. Joe troubleshooted and diagnosed the problem with the truck and determined it had a cracked head and several other items that needed to be fixed. Over the course of several weeks, Joe diligently worked on fixing this truck and provided me timely updates. At the end, everything got fixed and the truck ran like new. in my opinion, Joe and Simply Toyota are one of the best Toyota shops in the Inland Empire. Joe far exceeded my expectations and has superb customer service. He should be commended for his outstanding work. I would recommend this Toyota shop to all my family and friends. Awesome ! read more

I should have written this years ago. All the positive reviews have prompted me to finally post to let folks see another perspective on Simply Toyota. In 2016 I bought a very low mileage 2002 Sienna from a friend in Redlands. My first plan was to get it up to my maintenance standards. I brought it to Simply Toyota for a transmission service - fluid and filter. Simple enough, right? I'm very handy with cars but I was very busy at the time and it's kind of a pain so I figured I'd hire it out. After I drop it off I get a call from a mechanic saying the differential is making noise and he recommends rebuilding the transmission. I'm suspicious right away but hear him out. I go check the car with him and hear nothing. He says he can hear it on the lift and it's only a matter of time before it goes out. I listen while it's on the lift and hear nothing. He's really pushing the rebuild. I say it's a chance I'll take and just to change the fluid and filter. They charge me for it and I pay. Curious, when I get the van home I jack it up and check the work. The bolts on the transmission pan are virgin from the factory, no marks. I get the correct fluid and filter and do it myself. The fluid is very dark brown when I change it, the filter looks like the original, the pan magnets have not been cleaned, and all evidence says they did nothing to my car and charged me anyway. I could feel a difference after replacing the 14 year old fluid. The transmission was smooth and strong and shifts were right on and crisp, just like one would expect from a low mile Toyota transmission from this era. And... no differential noise. I had no problems with that van other than squeaky rear brakes and fixing a broken rear door latch when I had it. I sold it to a friend in Texas and he's driven it trouble free for years. Why am I writing this? Because I hate dishonest mechanics who try to recommend unnecessary and expensive work. This guy took me for a rube when I have more experience than most under the hood. Cars are my hobby, and I do most of my own work unless I'm busy or it's a particularly dirty or advanced job like rebuilding a transmission. Why so late? Partially because I wanted to be sure the van transmission proved to be solid, which it has. Also, I figured others would have my same experience and roast this place. That has not happened. Your experience may be awesome. Mine was textbook shady mechanic trying to fleece me because he thought I didn't know anything about cars. Maybe he was a bad apple and isn't there any more. Who knows, who cares. Why was he even dealing with me directly? It made me feel like he was of some importance there, but I didn't ask. You get one chance to make a first impression and my impression of this place is that they are crooked as hell. read more

Came in for a brake job that another mechanic recommended. Joe inspected the brakes and invited me over to see the brake pad remaining (approximately 40%). He recommended that I wait on the brake job for another 5-10k miles! What an honest assessment and business.... I will be back for all my vehicle services!! Thanks for the honesty and great work on the fluid changes... read more

I have been going to Simply Toyota for 8+ years for every major and minor service that was needed for my Toyota 4Runner or my family's Lexus. The head mechanic there is very knowledgable and has always been straight with me. From a simple oil change to rebuilding my engine they have done it all. It's funny that as I start to look at getting a new car from a different manufacturer, the one thing that holds me back is knowing I wouldn't be able to take it to simply Toyota for maintenance. Knowledgable, fair, and dependable mechanics are hard to come by! It is also great that they have a fenced in area where they park cars so you can feel a bit more secure about leaving your car for any service that would take more than a day. All in all, I have had an excellent experience with simply Toyota and would recommend you give them a try if your looking for a great mechanic and want a better deal than you would at any dealership. read more

Excellent shop to get work done on Toyota vehicles. I brought in my Scion, XB to get the transmission serviced. From start to finish I received excellent customer service and they offer affordable prices. It sure does beat dealership prices. I plan to use this shop from now on for all my vehicle's services. Their statement that they use OEM parts and good reviews is what drew me here. read more

I've brought my car to get serviced here multiple times, and each one has been such a pleasant experience. The lady at the front desk is very nice and helpful, and Joe the mechanic is also nice, great at what he does and very trustworthy!

Brought my 2015 Toyota Corolla in for a check engine light. Contacted through Yelp and told me to bring it in any time. Hooked it up to an OBD scanner and quickly diagnosed it as a small leak in evap system which could've been caused by simply not tightening the gas cap enough. Instead of charging a diagnostic fee, Joe turned off the check engine light and said to bring it back in if the light came on again. All within 10 minutes of me driving in their PACKED lot and full garage. They were busy even at 7am but still helped me without long wait. They didn't charge me one dime. While other shops I reached out to wanted as much as $125 to check it out. First impressions are lasting impressions and they are first class in my book. I hope they service cars other than Toyotas because I'd recommend bringing your vehicle here if you're looking for a fair and honest shop read more

I strongly recommend this car repair service to everyone.adding my experience with them for our Toyota Highlander 2011 cracking noise when turning left and right. Didn't expect the best result from him. In Toyota redlands asking for 1800.00 thats why we search for a affordable but proven good costumer service and reputations. From 1800 to 900 in Simply Toyota now they did not just repair and removed the noise but with well known experience our car was just lubricated and all noise was gone. Thanks a lot Mr. Joe. read more

After spending $1800 at another local shop on my wife's RX300, and the shop still not fixing the issue, I was referred to Simply Toyota.
