    Autozone w 4 yr unlimited mileage no fault warranty
    Rolando F.

    Some people want to gouge you. Some wonder why local businesses can't stay alive. They can't even compete! I've attached a copy of an estimate they offered me for a rebuild LQ4. I also included the asking prop ice from Autozone who they themselves are thieves! They typically charge 300% more for the exact same items from Amazon, and mind you, with delivery! I'll let you make your own opinion. I asked if they would offer me the same warranty, Steve's Machine Shop went silent!

    This is the head fully assembled

    I was having intake valve issues and they did an amazing job on rebuild this head with upgraded valves , retainers and lifters , when I got there to pick up the head they showed me all the process and how everything was operating how it should even by showing me the valve and shims gap which blew my mind that they did that & I 100% recommend this machine shop service A1 ! , my Instagram is that_facked_miata if u guys want to see this head under 30psi and at 9k rpm thanks for u guys again definitely coming back for my other cars !

    I built this engine myself but I wanted to thank Russ at Steve machine shop for doing all the machine work. Thank you again Russ for all the project you have helped me accomplish.

    Audi S4 Block after machining, honing, and 2 sleeves.

    Russ did an amazing job on my Audi S4 4.2L engine - when I first picked up this project, the block had been left in someone's back yard for almost two years out in the rain, sun, even tree sap and pollen stuck on it! Once Russ was done with it, it looked brand new! Steve's Machine shop is a multi-generation family run business. You can expect to get excellent service and see friendly, helpful people. My project was not straightforward at all but Russ was happy to work with me to solve every challenge along the way.

    Russ at steves is the man to go to. Russ has built multiple engines for me ranging from stock rebuilds to high performance small blocks. He is extremely knowledgeable with what needs to be done for a proper setup and never once have I been oversold or has he tried to upsell me on something that was not necessary. His pricing is the best that I have seen and he is great with communication and keeping me in the loop through the build process. Russ has never left me hanging and is always there to answer my questions and gets his jobs done quickly. Highly suggest russ and steves machine shop.

    Dropped of my flywheel to get it resurfaced , was told to be ready the next day. So next day came and my flywheel was still there untouched, I was a little upset but Steve make sure it get done ASAP , so waited outside for a bit and the finishing work is 4/5 good price and good works man shop . Other than that it's my to go shop if I need any machining Work to be done . Really happy with the result of the product.

    Steve's machined the new block, valve job, and balanced everything.

    I had Steve's do the machine work on a Lotus Twincam engine. They did an outstanding job! This is one of those rare places where they take a great deal of pride in their work and make sure everything is perfect. Russ and his guys have modern equipment and an old, and proper, work ethic. A pleasure to do business with them.

    This place is awesome. Russ and his guys do amazing work. Being that this is my first performance engine build, I wanted to find a top-notch machine shop. This is definitely the place. They recently built my VR6 bottom end for my turbo build and I couldn't be any happier. Russ was always there to answer any of my questions by phone and email. I really appreciated the honesty and customer service. Thanks fellas! Now I just need to save up some money for the cylinder head work! I'll be back soon!

    They have awesome service and pure and simple they balanced my flywheel and my pressure plate ...

    My car needed both low beams replaced, an oil change and a tune up. Matt was quick to provide me…read morewith a quote that was reasonable. Scheduling the appointment was easy. Brought my car in, went over some paperwork and was told I'd be contacted once the inspection was complete. Sure enough Matt called me to let me know there were some items found during inspection and which ones needed to be addressed right away. After agreeing to the updated quote they got to work. I came back to the shop prior to being told my car was ready, and I think there may have been a delay in getting parts needed (dropped the car off at 9am, wasn't done until 4pm). Other than that, the quoted price is what I paid, there wasn't any pushing to buy a service that wasn't needed. I will definitely be bringing my car back for the additional work needed.

    I requested a quote through Yelp and my request was sent to multiple auto shops. I chose this…read morecompany based on location and called ahead to confirm they could do more than just read basic codes. I had already done my own diagnostics and knew the car was running rich. I had ruled out the upstream O2 sensor, catalytic converter (both new), MAP sensor, and fuel injectors. I explained all of this to Matt before bringing the car in. He assured me they could perform deeper diagnostics with their equipment. After dropping off the car, Matt called and told me they had "confirmed" exactly what I had already told them, and that the next step would be pulling spark plugs--for an additional fee. At that point, I decided to go elsewhere. What I don't understand is why I was still charged the full $85 diagnostic fee, plus a $4 hazardous materials fee and $3 shop supply fee. Plugging a car into a diagnostic scanner does not generate any hazardous waste--no fluids are drained, no chemicals are used, and no parts are replaced. There's nothing about a basic scan that would justify a hazardous materials charge. That kind of fee typically applies when disposing of things like oil, coolant, or other regulated waste, none of which occurred here. In the end, I paid $92, wasted time and gas, and learned nothing new. The most concerning part was Matt admitting he didn't even know spark plugs would need to be checked as part of further diagnosis.

    Our family's Ford Explorer required a water pump replacement…read more I visited several local auto shops to obtain quotes and was shocked, disappointed, and discouraged at the prices I was being quoted for the work my vehicle required ($5,000-$7,500) Shame on me for not reading Yelp reviews before wasting my time visiting other auto shops. I read the many positive reviews for Hye-Tech Auto Repair and decided to visit them. Upon entering, I was greeted by John (owner) with a friendly, "Welcome, how may I help you?" I explained that my Ford Explorer needed a new water pump and a few other items that other auto shops had advised me would require repair or replacement. While John looked up a few items on the computer to provide me with a quote, he introduced me to his son, Harry, who happened to be in the office. Thirty seconds later, John provided a quote that was $3,500-$4,000 less than the other shops. I could not believe it. John explained that he makes his living and succeeds in his business through repeat customers, and he does not believe in gouging customers for every last penny. He also shared that when he retires, his son Harry will take over the business, and he wants to leave Harry with a solid foundation of loyal repeat customers. It was then that I knew I could trust John and his son Harry. John went on to explain that replacing the water pump on a Ford Explorer was a 10-12 hour job, as it was an internal pump requiring numerous engine parts to be removed to reach it. This was the same thing all the other shops advised me. John suggested that I leave my vehicle, and he would perform a full inspection of the engine and contact me before doing anything to it. I agreed and left my vehicle. The following day, I was contacted by John, who advised me that the water pump did indeed need to be replaced, as it was the source of the constant leaks of the water coolant. I left my vehicle in John's shop for three days. During this time, John or his son, Harry, contacted me numerous times to keep me updated on the progress of my vehicle and also to point out that mechanics had discovered two or three very inexpensive items (under $50.00) which they recommended replacing, which I agreed to have done. All in all, I was and am extremely impressed and satisfied with everything about this shop. I spent much less money to have five different issues repaired on my vehicle at Hye-Tech than what I was quoted to replace my water pump alone by every single shop I visited prior to coming to Hye-Tech. John and Harry are very friendly, honest, and trustworthy. They are also very knowledgeable and experienced, and they offer GREAT customer service and communication. This is my new go-to shop for any issues involving our family vehicles. Thank you, Hye-Tech Auto Repair, for a very positive experience.

It's nice to see you can get quotes at the touch of a button on your phone. This morning, I had time off, so I headed in to get my service done. I did not have an appointment and that did not seem to matter. I arrived first thing in the morning at 8 AM and ask if the service could be done. Harry was an exceptional young man, he took me in with no problems, no questions. He said they could do it this morning. I told him I would have to wait. He had no problem with that either. Prior to bring in the car in this morning, as I said, I used a yelp project and had several people reach out and give me quotes. After looking at all the yelp reviews I decided to give this place a try. I am super happy that I did. This place is a hidden gem, excellence, service, quality, and value for what you receive. There are not very many shops where you could feel comfortable and put your trust in them. As I spent time in the lobby, I was able to see customer service on the phone and customer service entering the facility. Every customer that walked in, seem satisfied and was treated with dignity and respect. I highly recommend this place if you have any automotive questions whatsoever.

    5 Stars - TMC Auto Repair in Diamond Bar (aka the place that actually gives a damn)…read more Let me paint you a quick "before and after" picture so funny it hurts: Scene 1: Midas in Diamond Bar, 3:50 PM I roll up with a driver's window that's basically on permanent vacation (stuck halfway like it's trying to ghost me). The guy behind the counter doesn't even glance at the car. Doesn't ask a question. Just grunts, "Yeah, it's the motor." Me: "Cool, wanna pop the door panel and confirm? I'll pay for the diag, takes 10-15 minutes tops." Him: refuses to move, refuses to look, basically treats me like I'm trying to sell him oceanfront property in Arizona. I left wondering if "customer service" is now Latin for "get lost." Scene 2: TMC Auto Repair (literally two minutes away, same day) I used to go to this shop years ago when it had a different name. Now it's TMC and let me tell you -- it should be called TLC because that's exactly what they give you. Walked in frustrated and Martin greeted me like a human being who mattered. He listened to my Midas horror story, laughed with me (not at me), and said, "Let's actually look at it." One of his techs pulled the door panel in like 8 minutes and... drumroll... the motor was bad and there was a broken plastic piece in the regulator (exactly what I told Midas Guy, who apparently moonlights as a psychic but forgot to charge his crystal ball). They got the window temporarily working until the new part arrives, didn't overcharge me, and treated me like I've been their customer for a decade (because I basically have). Moral of the story: Midas Diamond Bar just lost a customer for life in under five minutes. TMC gained a customer for life in under five minutes. Martin and his crew are professional, honest, fast, and actually enjoy fixing cars instead of playing "guess the problem from the lobby." If you're anywhere near Diamond Bar/Walnut area and need work done by people who treat you like family (the good kind, not the dysfunctional Thanksgiving kind), go see these guys. 10/10, will be back the second that part shows up -- and for every oil change, brake job, and random rattle from now until my car retires. TMC, you have my undying loyalty... and my window now goes up AND down. Magic. Show less

I had traveled to Azusa for work and was about an hour away from home when my truck suddenly started overheating. Coolant was dumping all over the ground, and I honestly thought I was looking at a huge repair bill. A helpful guy at AutoZone checked it out and told me my radiator had likely cracked, so I bought a new radiator for about $275 thinking that had to be the issue. I started calling around to different auto shops, and T&K Auto Repair was the only place willing to take me in on such short notice. I had my truck towed over there and I was stressed out. That's when I realized there are still honest and genuinely good people out there. The mechanic inspected my truck and quickly figured out the radiator wasn't even the problem. It turned out to be the serpentine belt tensioner. Instead of charging me for unnecessary repairs, he explained everything clearly, reassured me through the whole process, and had me return the radiator I bought. The actual part I needed only cost me about $55, and he fixed everything in under an hour. In a situation where he easily could've upcharged me and I never would've known the difference, he chose honesty instead. That kind of integrity is rare nowadays. This happens on April 30, 2026 and ever since the repair, and my truck has been running great. The mechanic was kind, professional, reassuring, and honest from start to finish. I'm beyond grateful for the help and highly recommend T&K Auto Repair to anyone looking for trustworthy mechanic.
