Really stand up guys, who are always extremely helpful. They are honest, and the service is great, and they are always quick. Both times I have gone I have been very pleased with the service. The kind lady at the front is really nice too! Thanks Toyo tech read more

Toyo-Tech - The cat in the lobby - Auto Repair Near Me - Lawndale, California

Knowledgeable tech he knows prius well. I drive a prius and a Lexus. He inspires confidence peace of mind

I got this recommendation via a co-worker who's family has been taking their Lexus to them for years. I would actually give them no stars. Took my beloved 1999 Toyota 4-runner there for service about a year and a half ago for some brake maintenance, and they totally jacked up my car. After agreeing on the estimate then they took DAYS to fix it - would not call back with eta, etc. What should have been a 2 day fix ended up 4 or 5 days. When I got the car back, the right front wheel locked up on me to the point I could barely drive it - hazardous. Brought it to my neighborhood mechanic and he pulled a large screw that was wedged in the wheel well. That, and the fact that the cruise control cable was also unconnected and dangling in the engine. I didn't ask them to fix the cruise control! Look, If you didn't want my business for whatever reason, you could have just told me you were busy. Needless to say, I will NEVER be back and I'm o.k. with that. read more

These guys are awesome. Took in a used car I was going to buy. They immediately looked at it. Told me all the things that were wrong and saved me a huge headache. These guys are great. read more

One of the most professional and friendly service centers in the South Bay. Made appointments that were met with attentiveness and professionalism by Jeremiah and his dedicated team. Very reasonable rates and delivered what they promised quickly and efficiently. Would highly recommend this business if you have automotive issues needing service and don't want any mumbo jumbo. read more

My old Toyota sienna had a check-engine light and a burning oil smell. They were able to diagnose the problems and have it repaired and ready the next day. They quoted me a price before doing any work, and it was less than expected. I am very satisfied with their work, and would highly recommend them. read more

My daughters Prius decided to quit running near their shop so I looked up their reviews and took a shot. They didn't disappoint. She had a difficult to diagnose prob with the hybrid system that seemed to go away but came back. Javier went the extra mile and figured out the issue at a fair price. I've been in the automotive service business for over 30 years so I've seen it all and appreciate their communication, honesty, and reasonable pricing. read more

Sent my mom here as her Camry was giving her random alarm issues while driving. She took it to the dealership many times and they had no answer for her- super unhelpful. Toyo-Tech was so friendly and helpful - ran a computer diagnostic and found the possible issues and provided a solution. My mom said the service was wonderful and she will definitely come back for additional service and they did not at all try to gouge her for $$. Thank you for helping my mom :-) read more

This review is long overdue. This place was recommended by a good friend who has been bringing their Audi here for several years. I have now been taking my 2016 Audi A5 for about 2-3 years and the customer service is always impeccable. Jeremiah schedules me in asap and answers my million and one questions, because I usually have many. The team is honest and genuinely interested in giving you the best service, and at a reasonable cost. It's not just me, as I've seen them interact with other customers. Great vibes here. read more

FORGET THE DEALERSHIPS!! Went to Local TOYOTA Dealership they wanted me to $$$ just to diagnose each issue; I had 3 issues with Camry. I looked on Yelp, and Toyo-Tech was highly recommended. I called spoke with Jeremiah I told him the issues the car was having, he told me to bring car same day. Jessie ( amazing mechanic) was able to address all 3 issues in less than 2 hours and for much less than a diagnosis at the DEALERSHIP!! Car is running great! This place is amazing the knowledge they have on cars is SUPERB along with the CUSTOMER SERVICE. They take the time to answer all your questions, and explain the issues. This is how customer service was like back in the day!! Keep your customers happy they will continue to return and let other know how well you treated them! Treat others like you like to be treated!! Hope this helps! read more

Great place and great folks! We took our Camry here for repair, and they took the liberty of polishing up a large, preexisting scrape making it almost invisible for no charge. It seems they just love what they do and are very skilled at doing it. Also, I used to dread having my car's warranty run out, so I would avoid buying used cars altogether. Not anymore. This place has opened the whole used car market up to us, which is fantastic! read more

Wow, this place provided EXCELLENT service, Fast & Easy! I'm skeptical of 5-star reviews on Yelp, because many could be fake, but this place actually took really good care of me!! read more

I needed my car to be serviced and didn't want to pay $$$ at the local Toyota dealership, so my bf actually found this place for me to check it out. And boy, I highly recommend it! The guy who works here, Jodi, will take care of everything for you! The prices are pretty cheap/reasonable compared to elsewhere. Service is professional and great. My car was able to be done in a very timely manner. I'd definitely come back here to get my car serviced in the future. Plus, while you're waiting, there's a vintage game machine where you can play your classic games of PacMan, Dig Dug, etc! (brings back those childhood memories) read more

ATTENTION - I recommend Toyo-Tech to ALL WOMEN who have experienced mechanics trying to increase the price for auto repair. I would also like to give 5 stars to the mechanic named Javier. There are other great mechanics at Toyo-Tech, but he's specifically my favorite. Javier is friendly, knowledgeable, and always helpful. read more

This place is amazing. Wife is 8 months prego. She is driving like a crazy person and does something to my toyota prius. I have no idea what is wrong other than a scraping sound. I call Toyo -tech and they say bring it in. I bring it in and while I am on a call, they bring it out and tell me some bolts were missing and they just fix it and bring it out. They didnt not even charge me. This is why I will bring my car anytime I have an issue. You dont see things like this that often. Thanks so much. read more

Great service. They are very busy, so calling ahead and scheduling a time is probably a good move. I called this morning and I agreed to come in at 2:00 pm to get a car alarm removed. They were ready for me when i arrived, and the staff was friendly, helpful, honest, and quick. They had me in and out in 30 minutes for a steal of a price. I will be coming back here! read more

Had them replace the antenna on my Land Cruiser. They charged the price quoted and finished it faster than expected. Staff was friendly and knowledgable. read more

First, let me state.. I did not have any work performed here. That being said, I have passed by this place about 100 times, I am very picky about who works on my car but my go-to guy is too far and inconvenient for a oil change. My car is 18 years old and hitting 200k miles, I have never had any major issues with it yet ( Lexus) I dropped by to check and see if they were able to take my car for a oil change and a general check-up. Jodi was really nice and honest and said he could not get it done today. Had I not been lugging around the oil ( I planned to do the service myself) and been a month overdue, I would have said no problem. Jodi recommended to go across the street as he knew the people over there. Anyhow, I just found it to be refreshing and rare that another business would turn down business because they were too busy and give a recommendation to go elsewhere. read more

Javier is awesome. For what Toyo tech charged to repair my Rav4, the dealership charged just to look at my car. Will be back!

Jodi is awesome. He took my car on a test drive and let me know EXACTLY what was going on with it. Nothing more and nothing less. Problem solved. Anxiety gone. read more

I can't think of anything I would rather do less than to take my car to a mechanic. I bought a Toyota for this reason. I know little to nothing when it comes to working on a car so whenever I take my car in I always feel like I am getting the run-around (there are other words I would like to use but i want to keep this PG). Keith and his crew at Toyotech are honest, up front, great at communicating and fairly priced. They talk about your car in easy to understand terms, they let you know what should be done and what could be done to your car depending on how much you can afford. I took my car in for some new belts and an oil pressure switch. They fixed it right away, quoted a decent price and had the car ready in less than a day. Thank you, Toyotech, for making the "going to the mechanic" a pleasant experience. read more

Seriously, the most honest mechanics in the South Bay! I've brought my car in twice and I'll never go anywhere else. They'll give you a list of what has to be done and what can wait. I took my car in for suspension work since I was about to get new tires and they had told me the shocks and struts we old and soft in October, but I should wait to do the work. Surprisingly I got a call from Jody saying to wait longer and save the $$$. My husband was amazed that they actually turned away money and boy do I feel safe taking my car there. read more

Forget the dealerships...even if you have warranties! OK...maybe not because free is free. But this is the place to go for straight shooting, knowledgeable Toyota (and a few other makes) mechanics. True you may pay a few extra bucks for things like oil changes compared to those quickie lubes but the relationship this business will develop with you and your vehicle is well worth it. Jody is continuing the strong tradition that Keith began and I will continue to bring my business and refer others for a very long time. My family have been loyal customers for almost 20 years...Hilux pick-up, Tercel, Honda CRV, Tacoma. Watch out for the birds!! ;) Side-note: Traditional sit-across arcade game in the reception area to refresh your Frogger skills. read more

i have a very mixed feeling to write a negative review on a place that has such a flawless yelp reputation; i'll be as detailed as possible to tell my story and i hope i can help the fellow yelpers. 10,000 miles ago, we moved to this new area and toyo-tech. i don't know a lot about cars so i would really like to find a mechanic that i can absolute trust because i'll pretty much do whatever they recommend. there was no problem with the oil change. the price was fair. jody was a bit sarcastic whenever i asked him something. a smart alec if you will. never really directly answered my questions. he arrogantly made fun of my prior mechanic's work, implying he was not very good and that he cut corners, even though i never had a problem with my previous mechanic for over 6 years. at the end of the oil change, he recommended 1. brake fluid flush, 2. "transmission oil dirty", 3 change belt, and that i go back in 3,000 miles to get the work done. i asked him if it had to 3,000 - "why not 5,000 so we can do everything together?" he looked at me with this are-you-kidding-me look and repeated his affirmative "3,000". i had a bad vibe from jody so i went to different place also with a great yelp review, 5,000 miles a later. oil change was cheaper and the new mechanic told me no need to change any of the three recommended works. i thought maybe that's just the new guy's way to retain his customer. now two more oil changes later, i asked the new guy again if the above three items needed to be done and the answer was still a no. the new mechanic even showed me the oil and said because i used synthetic oil last time there won't be any need for maybe another 10,000 miles. while i understand personal judgement how oil/belt look can be variable. i'm not convinced the assessment how good oil/belt look can be over 20,000 miles apart. so jody either doesn't know how to judge brake fluid/transmission oil/belt or he was not being honest with me and i suspect it's the latter. or maybe he's super aggressive with changing things out. if you know cars or don't mind spending extra money (i have no evidence that jody is not competent) then jody is your guy. but if i had to choose between a not-so-brilliant but honest mechanic and a brilliant but not so honest one, i'd much rather choose the former. read more

I've been going to a shop up in Hollywood for years. But, I live in the South Bay and it was time to try some place down here. I looked for a shop with good reviews, because as a female, sometimes I get taken advantage of. My dad taught me well, but I don't know all of the ins and outs of car repaid. So, in looking for a shop, I found Toyo-Tech, with all the 5 star reviews. I decided to take my car there for an oil change. I was pleasantly surprised when I was called with the list of things to do. Yes, it was a list. But, the list was prioritized, and then re-prioritized once I let Keith know that within the next 3 weeks, I would be making a drive to Seattle. So, items moved on the list. There were also things that weren't a priority, so the bigger ticket item took precedence. The main thing is that Keith & Jody listened to me, and understood that sometimes people don't have $1000 in cash to drop on a car, randomly at the end of the month. I appreciate the honesty of people, and this is no exception. I'll be going back. read more

The staff at Toyo Tech is very professional and honest. Joe is a man of his words and for that, i will recommend them to all my friends and family. Keep up the good work!! Andrea read more

I went to Toyo Tech after reading the yelp reviews, for a second opinion on recommended ("urgent") repairs by Manhattan Beach Toyota. The recommendations included replacing the battery and gaskets on transmission, oil pan and struts. At TT, I met Jody, who spent about 30 minutes inspecting each of these. Jody recommended no urgency and that I come back for repairs "when I have time." How nice it is to have a trustworthy and considerate mechanic nearby. I will most certainly come back "when I have time." Jody's quote was far more reasonable than MB Toyota's too. I guess MB Toyota needs to find a way to pay for their on-going renovation. read more

Jodi is a LIFESAVER! The actual mechanic-Jesus I moved from Texas and with slim to ZERO knowledge of a car's internal mechanics but was referred here by a family who has been coming to Jodi for over a decade. I am so happy I found this gem. Jodi takes the time to explain everything and patiently answers all my painstaking questions with the friendliest of demeanors. I feel completely safe and taken care of with Jodi. I have had nothing but positive experiences. He'll give you his honest opinion and weigh each option you have. I've had my car towed here 5+ times and he is always there for routine maintenance, to major repairs. He is honest about when we do, and don't need to make repairs, or whether the cost is worth the benefit when working on our older cars. He goes over and beyond with the service he provides. I wouldn't go ANYWHERE else! read more

Like so many reviewers, I went to Toyotech with some apprehension due to past experience at other car service facilities. About four years ago, at the recommendation of a friend of a friend, I took my Highlander in when the dealer insisted I needed four new tires. Keith and Jody checked it out, confirmed that I DID need new tires and explained and showed me why. AND they didn't try to sell me the tires themselves. Since then, I've been a regular customer. I trust them. They are friendly, knowledgeable, NOT pushy. As others have said, they are fair, have given me excellent guidance on what to do, and prioritizing repairs. I echo other customers that I will not go anywhere else, and if/when my teenager gets a car, a Toyota or Honda is preferred BECAUSE I can go to Toyotech to maintain it. HIGHEST, UNQUALIFIED RECOMMENDATION based upon my experience there. read more

Jodi is a straight-shooter. The AC on my older Prius was broken beyond (expensive) repair. Jodi explained the issue in detail and provided some much needed guidance. He is honest and incredibly helpful. I ended up needing a new car and Jodi helped by performing a safety inspection on the car I purchased. He is thorough in his explanations and ensures I understand the condition of my vehicle. I've really enjoyed working with him so far and will continue to bring my car to him in the future. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and helpful mechanic. read more

Toyo-Tech rocks I have been using them for years. They are are honest and use quality parts. you can see it when you walk in the place is clean organized. they are mechanics not grease monkeys. You get detailed billing and Keith keeps really good recored so they know if parts are wearing out early. Every thing is explained clearly and the work is done on time. read more

Jodi & his staff are always great. Quick, honest & competitive prices... read more

I have taken my car here a few times, and Keith and Jody are awesome. Great service and fair prices. In determining what to fix up on my aging car, they have helped me decide between options based on how long I planned on keeping my car. Only an honest mechanic would do that. I appreciate their honesty they are highly recommended by me. read more

I have been bringing my vehicles to Toyo-Tech for maintenance and repair since 1990. The previous owner, Keith, is a friendly and interesting gentleman whom I overtime grew to trust with everything he did and suggested concerning care with all my vehicles. In my mind, the present owner Jody is currently withholding Keith's legacy and with that thought I trust him as well. I wrote this review to highly recommend to anyone who reads these words to trust in Jody as I do today. read more

Jodi, glad I could get in for that oil change before this happened. SD fwy at Hawthorne 9/15 at 5:30 PM. The body panel screw that you fixed is still in place though! read more

Toyo-Tech - Rear ended by a Lexus on the 405 fwy 9/15/16. - Auto Repair Near Me - Lawndale, California

I've been taking my car here for years. Jodie is seriously one of the most ethical mechanics in the Southbay. I've never worked with anyone who has been more honest, and thorough when working on a car. If you ever need any kind of help with you car, I'd recommend taking it here. You will not be disappointed. I would write a longer review, to keep on raving how great Jodie and his staff are, but this is like my 7th review that I'm typing up and my wrists are starting to hurt lol. read more

Jody is the best! I've taken my car to Jody a few times now. He's incredibly honest and he's super nice. I came to him with a problem that the dealer told me I had, and he told me that there was nothing wrong with my car and that they were just trying to scare me into spending money because I was a young girl. He took the time to educate me about the problem, or the lack of problem, because he knows I know nothing about cars. Jody will take care of you and he definitely won't take advantage of you. I'll always trust Jody with my car! read more

Needed an oil change and standard 15,000 mile check up. I was so prepared to give these guys 5stars. Ken was super helpful over the phone and the shop was orderly and everyone was nice while dropping off the car. They quoted be an unbeatable, great price (in the past I was going to Toyota dealer in Manhattan Beach, and I am just tired of spending so much money and so little work) They checked in with me over the phone a couple of times before any work was done and kept me informed during the entire process, I am so thankful for this. I was told be car would be ready for pick-up in about 15 minutes. I showed up 30 minutes later, they said they were test driving the car one last time to make sure the alignment was right. About 15 minutes later, a guy pulled up, got out of my car with a bag of take-out food, and when asked acted like he had never been told to check the alignment on this "test drive." They totally used my car, blasting the AC, no plastic or paper seat protector, to go and get food!!? I was so disappointed, up until that point this was going to be my lifelong Toyota garage. I thought the price was right. I thought they were great people. But then they used my car to get their lunch. read more

I was told by Manhattan Beach Toyota that my daughter's '95 Corolla needed to have the front lower control arms replaced at an estimated cost of $969. I decided to take it to Toyo-Tech which quoted a price of $750. About 2 hours later, I got a call with the news that the front lower control arms were fine and did not need to be replaced. They did recommend that the lug nuts be replaced which I had done. The total cost was $32, including a tire rotation. I was very pleased that Toyo-Tech saved me from an expensive, unnecessary repair. Needless to say, I will be taking my Toyotas to Toyo-Tech from here on. read more

I brought my 2001 Toyota Highlander in for a misfire I could not pinpoint for months. After putting $500+ into the car elsewhere I brought it in to Toyo Tech and Andre and his team immediately helped solve my problem. Everything from customer service over the phone to paying for a job well done was a pleasure. I will definitely reccomend to others and will be back in again soon for my brakes! read more
