Simon is amazing. He is a thorough and highly qualified mechanic. He did a thorough inspection of my vehicle. He gave me an honest appraisal of what should be done, what could wait for the next service, and what was not needed. You can trust Simon read more

Came in to service a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for 30k maintenance. They provide quick and simple service. Reached out via their website and they responded within 24 hrs with simple and straightforward scheduling. They are a very small shop and are busy right when they open at 9am but they made time for me to bring my car in. The only thing was, find a place to stay at until they are completed. The cost for maintenance was within reason! Couple hundred for the maintenance! They take cash/credit but credit requires an additional 3% fee Tony is a Cantonese speakers which was really cool! read more

Fantastic work- they worked with my hectic schedule. Professional, clean space, same day work to replace brake pads and general maintenance. Competitive pricing. read more

Good communication, went for simple oil change and they diagnosed water leak and other issues.

They did all I asked for a reasonable rate. Cleaned the intake, EGR, oil change, and new PCV. Good communication and timely.

Came here for a 60k maintenance package, and the car was ready on the same day. Good overall service and communication. Prices are also competitive vs. dealer. read more

I will not go to ANY Toyota or Lexus mechanic other than SLT. They are honest, not pushy, and have fair prices.

They Inspected vehicle due to high idle condition and rough engine operation during cold starts. Also checked for hose leaks. Removed air intake components and thoroughly cleaned throttle body, including throttle plate and bore, to remove accumulated carbon deposits and oil residue that can restrict airflow and affect idle quality. These guys are amazing and highly recommend them. Thanks guys. read more

My go to spot, your car will be in good hands coming here!! I'll be back next time for my oil change :)

It's about time I post this review. If I could rate six stars, I would. My 1992 Lexus ES300 was in the care of Tony and Simon for several months last year, and it was a big job. I dropped it off with the assumption that it had a blown head gasket and just needed new heads, but it actually ended up needing an entirely new engine and transmission once they opened everything up and saw how bad it was (every crevice of the engine was gummed up). I sourced both a replacement engine and transmission and had them rebuild and install it for me, along with a few other minor things that needed attention. Tony and Simon are absolute professionals with a level of patience and kindness I have almost never seen before in mechanics. They are not salesmen; they are actual mechanics with total integrity and pride in their work. They never hustled me for money, they never rushed me, they never tried to upsell or charge me more for anything, and they kept my car parked inside the whole time. They actually gave me an amazing deal on the labor too, and they never even asked me to post this review (I just decided to by myself). My car has been running like a dream, and it's still under their warranty so I can rest assured it'll be fine. I ended up moving down to SoCal, but I kind of wish I hadn't so I could come back here! read more

I have a strong belief that 90s-2000s era toyotas and lexus are by far some of the best vehicles not just of their time, but ever made. Ever. That being said, longevity still requires maintenance, and that is where the guys at SLT auto repair come in! They are my go to for all my big service jobs on my 2jz, 3uz, 2tr, etc that I can't do myself on my driveway. Pricing is always upfront, straightforward, and if theres any hidden problems along the way they always reach out with an update. Its hard to find a lawyer/doctor you trust these days. It's even harder to find a mechanic you trust. Look no further, these guys are the ones! I sometimes limp or tow my vehicles all the way from morgan hill if needed, I refuse to take my lexus sc, ls, and tacoma anywhere else! read more

Came here after searching for an alternative to our local dealer's service because they provided a crazy range of estimate for my 2021 RAV4 30k service from $700-$1500 which includes way more things than what even my Toyota owner's manual summarizes as recommended. Everything went smoothly - just dropped off my car in the morning and was able to pick it up in early afternoon. Only wished they had longer hours on Saturday, but so far I am happy with SLT - thanks Tony and Simon! read more

The TL;DR - SLT Auto Repair would have tried installing an incompatible replacement transmission into my car, except they forgot to actually order the part in the first place, and didn't realize it until I showed up for our appointment. The full story - I have a 2017 Toyota Sienna that needed its transmission replaced. SLT Auto said they had found a used one for a reasonable price, we ordered it and made an appointment to bring the car in a couple of weeks later. The afternoon before, I called to confirm that we were still on schedule only to be told (by Tony, I think) that the transmission had been dropped and dented and could not be used anymore. It would have been nice to have been told this as soon as it happened, not just because I happened to call in. They said they would look around for replacements and call me back. No one did, until I called back the following Friday to check. This time I spoke to Simon, who said they had another transmission with about the same mileage available, and they could order it the next day and have it ready to install Tuesday AM (they are closed Monday). I found it improbable that their vendor would have two used transmissions available when from shopping around, they seemed hard to come by. But I went ahead and said okay, let's do this Tuesday morning, but please do call me if the transmission does not come in. Tuesday morning at opening I am standing in line, but when I talk to Tony he seems surprised that I am there. The transmission is NOT there, but of course no one told me. They call the vendor, I don't know if it's to see why it hasn't arrived or to try to order it in the first place, but after some discussion they come back and say wait, this transmission is not compatible with my model of Sienna. What a complete, utter waste of time and money. After the initial transmission snafu I should have just walked away, now at least I've learned my lesson to avoid SLT auto at all costs. read more

I brought my Lexus ES350 to SLT Auto Repair Shop for an oil change last week, and the service was fantastic. Simon was professional, thorough, and made sure multi point inspection as well, whole experience was stress-free. I used to take my Lexus ES350 to the dealer for oil changes, but after trying SLT Auto Repair Shop, I will be back to only SLT from now on. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for awhile. I dropped in on a Friday afternoon and asked if SLT could help me with a steering angle sensor issue on my Toyota Prius. SLT spent 30 minutes diagnosing the issue and refused my money in the end. The Toyota dealership would have charged me $295 minimum. I will be taking my Prius to SLT for any issues or maintenance aside from regular oil changes. Highly recommended. read more

Very friendly staff. Paid for 2 oil changes. Last one the guy forgot to put my screws back on under the car after the oil change. The bottom of my car car started scraping on the bottom of the floor. Almost got into car accident on freeway. I wonder what this place did with my screws, probably sold them for a few cents... at my cars expense read more

I was looking for a good local auto repair shop that would use quality parts. After booking an appointment they were able to check out my car and quickly identified my radiator as the problem and had me fixed in no time. I appreciate their responsiveness, great communication, and their competitive pricing. Take your car to Tony and Simon you won't regret it. read more

Yes, Service and quality and value, I interviewed the owner and I'm convinced this is the shop I will take my Toyota car for repairs and maintenance. I will update as time progresses. Update #1 BTW, hired SLT to work on my Toyota 1999 4Runner. Update#2 Coming soon read more

I had two issues at two different times. First, AC not working. Simon explained what how he was going to do ahead of time and provided written quote. When I picked car up later that day he showed me the worn out parts that he replaced. Second, the wheel bearing needed to be replaced. Car is drive-able again. read more

SLT was super responsive via Yelp for booking an appointment & had convenient turnaround times. I appreciated their service to get a catalytic converter shield installed on my Prius. They even sent me a pic when they were done! I thought the price was reasonable and plan to return for any future car repairs I may need in the future. Thanks SLT for the great service! read more

Very conscientious work, Tiny and Simon know what they r doing. Extremely helpful. Decent prices especially compared to dealership pricing of services read more

The guys did a great job on my GS300 timing belt. Previous owner deferred a lot of maintenance and over torqued bolts; SLT did a great job baselining my Lexus and checking for other issues. read more

Highly recommend SLT auto repair for your auto repair/maintenance needs! I made an appointment for an oil change, and this is the first time I've done maintenance outside of a Toyota dealership. I am definitely planning on coming back here for any car maintenance needed in the future! The oil change was super fast and the price is unbeatable! My car was also fully inspected as a plus. The master technician Tony takes the time to explain what he's doing and also takes care to address any questions about your car if you're curious! Tony is honest and does not sell you services that you don't need. SLT Auto Repair is exactly what I am looking for in a trusty auto repair shop -- great service, great price, and honest! read more

I highly recommend SLT Auto Repair for anyone in the area who needs to repair their Toyota or Lexus. Tony and Simon are reliable, trustworthy, and highly skilled all at a very reasonable price. A few weeks ago, my car had an issue with the breaks (VSC and ABS warnings) and a fluid leak that needed urgent attention. I live around Berkeley, but the issue took place in Sunnyvale. I was horrified that my car breaks could fail at any time, but I took it into SLT Auto Repair, and Tony and Simon got to work on the diagnostic. They were quickly able to figure out what the issue was. After they gave me details about the repair process and the reasonable cost, I felt relieved. I left my car with them to repair, and Tony sent me regular updates. SLT doesn't fix cars with old parts. They only use new parts ordered directly from Toyota/Lexus, but their price point is significantly lower than going to the dealership (and their service was just as good). Although used parts auto repair shops might be cheaper, used parts are going to be a lot more unreliable and will break down sooner. When the parts for my car repair came into the shop early, they fixed it immediately on the day of. My car is in great shape now, haven't had any problems since. Again, I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Tony and Simon. read more

Found my new go-to mechanic for my Toyota Runner. They are very responsive, great service and quality shop.

I was recently looking for a place to install catalytic converter shield on my Prius and found some great reviews on this from other Prius owners. Called them up and they had very reasonable pricing. Also had a service done. I needed my car by 1pm for pick up and they had no problems with that. Thanks SLT team! read more

They are certainly going to be my only go to Auto shop in the Bay Area. They are reliable with the best price! They know what they're doing and don't overcharge you! read more

Working with Tony was a really satisfying experience. He fit me in for a same day appointment for an oil change and tire rotation. What really stood out to me was how organized he was. He started and finished working on my car within the one hour timeframe that he gave me over the phone. He also had the foresight to consider the temperature when inflating my tires which I appreciate in a mechanic (inflated a few psi higher to account for heat wave) Price-wise, Tony is extremely competitive. Definitely recommend him! read more

I messaged Tony on Monday 6/22 regarding what I thought was going to be a full brake pad and rotor replacement. I use my car every day and have a hectic schedule, and to be honest, just let my brake pads go WAY too long without replacing them. My car was making horrific grinding/scraping noises to where I couldn't just "turn the music up to ignore it" (if all you people on a budget know what I mean lol) and I was truly terrified that I had just ruined them. Anyway, Tony replied immediately and said he could see me Wednesday morning. I had a huge trip to leave for on Thursday morning and was worried I'd be without a car, so this was a great relief. I showed up and he inspected my brakes, and even took the time to show me my brake pads and used a brand new pad as a comparison so I could see the difference. He explained that we would replace the back pads and rotors, and just resurface the front rotors while replacing the pads. I was so relieved to hear this because replacing anything in my car is always an expense I feel like I'm never ready for. He quoted me a very reasonable price of $530 for the work on my 2014 Ford Escape. Tony let me know that I could pick it up by 5:30pm, and to my pleasant surprise, he called me at 4pm letting me know it was ready for pick up! Upon pick up, Tony had laid out my old brake pads and rotors so I could get an even better view at how they looked before the work was done. I truly appreciated that, as I'm just not a car person and honestly wouldn't have known unless he did so. 100% would recommend going here, and will be a returning customer for my future auto repairs. Tony's communication, hard work and all around respect made my originally frightening experience turn out to be a great one. read more

SLT Auto Repair - This is was replaced from my car! (before the repair). So glad that I have brand new brakes and rotors now. - Auto Repair Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

100% satisfied with the work Tony did on our 4Runner. I was referred to him through my cousin and I was hesitant to bring our Runner to anyone and the dealer has been trying to upsell services on our recent visits. I told Tony about how I took our Runner to the dealer for all services and he mentioned that he left his long time position as a Master Mechanic from Toyota. I felt less worried at that point knowing it's similar service I'm getting. Basically, we got our 35K service done with all OEM fluids and parts (a big plus). He also mentioned he specializes and is cerified in hybrid repair/service. I saw several Prius' there and asked if he was able to work on Lexus CT and he replied yes (I know its same brand as Toyota but had to ask). We need the battery serviced on ours and will be bringing it next week. Also saw a brand new CR-V there, someone must of trusted SLT more than going to the dealer So far, I think we found our trusted mechanic for our vehicles. Thanks Tony! read more

I inherited a 06 tundra. I was driving back to the Bay Area and had very little power. I researched places on Yelp and have Tony a call. I dropped it off and 2 hrs later got a call back, that after test drive it was the weathertec floormat that was impeding the accelerator. Talk about facepalm! Tony was super nice - wasn't going to charge much of at all. I asked if he could squeeze in an oil change and he made it happen same day. He even installed a center hub cover I had laying on the center console. I recommend Tony based on his customer service and attention to logic! He shared the truck engine is very clean. Weathertec mat has since been cut. Thank you Tony! I'll be back for regular maintenance. read more

SLT Auto Repair - 2006 Toyota Tundra - Auto Repair Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Simply the best service option anywhere in the Bay Area. Tony is wonderful, honest, and efficient. SLT was able to do an oil change, check my alignment, and perform a full inspection determining that I should get new brake pads (which I suspected but forgot to tell them!). They quickly called me, explained the situation, exact cost, and asked for authorization to do a same day purchase of genuine Toyota parts from their supplier. By some miracle they were able to procure the parts the same day and finish the entire job with brake flush in a few hours. On top of all that the total came out half of what I've seen other independent shops charge (let alone what dealerships charge). Don't go anywhere else, SLT is the only honest and reliable option! read more

Awesome service with no frills down to earth staff, not a place that scams or price gouges

Tony is so reliable! I went to him to request for a same day headlight change. Typically, this would be a tough ask, but he made it happen! The change was made in less than 30 minutes! Also, it's not easy to find mechanics that are trustworthy as they often oversell you on services you don't need! I've been told by multiple mechanics over 3 years that I need to change my shocks. Upon Tony's review, he said shocks do not need to be changed as it is not leaking. Thank you, Tony, for your honesty! I will be taking my Toyota Prius to SLT from here on out!!! read more

I find both Simon and Tony the most trustworthy mechanics I ever worked with. I go to them ever since I bought my Prius 5 years ago, and now also when I bought a second Prius for my daughter. The work is always top quality and I never feel I'm being overcharged for anything. Highly recommend to everyone. read more

I had my Lexus NX200T serviced today - oil change and brake pad replacement. My wife made an appointment for me and my car got immediately serviced after arrival. Tony is very responsive. I am happy for the service and have nothing to worry. I would recommend SLT to my friends. read more

I went in search for an alternate repair shop for my Toyota Prius as I was finally fed up with the long waits, high costs, and constant up-selling of services at a Toyota dealership. I found my new repair shop at SLT Auto Repair. At SLT, I was given excellent service at a reasonable price by Tony, a former senior Toyota dealership technician. The two things I needed this time around were a MillerCAT catalytic converter shield and a transmission fluid change. For the shield, I called five different places. Tony at SLT gave me the most informed answers and quoted the best price. He has the MillerCAT shield in stock and has installed many in the past. For the transmission fluid change, I was charged less than half the price quoted by the dealership. Instead of waiting all day to get my car back at the dealership, Tony completed the work in an hour and a half. I am very happy with both the catalytic converter shield install as well as the transmission fluid change. In addition to being skillful, efficient and reasonably priced, Tony is pleasant and easy to talk to. Talking to Tony about my car was a breath of fresh air compared to talking to the dealership service rep. Tony knows what he is talking about, tells you what exactly what needs to be done, and does not try to sell you on unnecessary services. I will definitely be back to SLT Auto Repair for my next Prius service. Highly Recommended. read more
