Old (2008) Prius, old cars experts! We are forever clients now!! New Location located right of Modern Designs & More LLC/Floor Showroom off of Twain Ave (kind of behind Green Valley Grocery).
They pick up their phones/text through phone. Our go to mechanic for everything from usual oil change, to complicated old issues where most mechanic will guess their work. At Tyler Express, they know what they are doing. And if they have to figure it out, I fully trust them in not trying to rip me off; they will explain what they feel they can control.
We've been going since 2024; they moved location to 3915 W Twain Ave. I kept forgetting to create this review.
- In the past, an oil change, oil filter would be like 15-20min for $30ish cash/zelle.
- This visit we brought our own oil, oil filter, filters (cabin/engine), fuel system cleaner; and pay for labor. All of this + whole car quick check is 45min-1hr from $70.
We already have our own oil due to needed to refill the Prius every so often. Otherwise, I don't think its an issue to just use their supplies?
Waiting room is clean with comfortable new couches, coffee Keurig cup machine, etc. It has ac. You'll have to walk through the left door office, and it's in the back area of it.
With this new location, you're like 6min walk away from many great places --
- Plaza with Golden Tiki (bars and food),
- 99 Ranch Market and plaza,
- Rio Casino Hotel, and
- Take It Easy Roasters to morning/afternoon wifi/study/work on laptop from 8am-4pm (9min/0.4 miles stroll away)
- Pop Café to afternoon/evening wifi/study/work on laptop from 2pm-10pm M-Sat (13min/0.6 miles stroll away).
Google Maps makes this place pretty difficult to find. DIRECTIONS:
1. Google to Green Valley Grocery, then
2. drive to the right of it where Modern Designs & More LLC/Floor Showroom is.
3. Tyler Auto is connected to, and located as the right side attached building opening.
Payment, they need a full name attached for the bill. QR code scan and pay via zelle.

Old LOCATION Draft review I forgot to post:
Kenny is SUPER DUPER knowledgeable about old Prius!! And cars in general!! My Prius tour 2008 has gone through so many random issues over the years. Reddit to youtube can offer a lot of different solutions too for these scenarios.
You'll learn a lot of tips and more about your car.... Opening trunk hatchback from the inside of the car, make the dashboard screen appear when needed again, etc..
Towing:
- We called Tyler Auto and they were willing to take us in. They took in our car from being towed for simple stupid mistake by us (no gas, we have a dashboard blank out issue/typical issue for old Prius in hot climate places).
- Towed our car in. Apparently a lot of cars get towed here. Alot of the Vietnamese restaurant owners bring their car there which is a good sign to us.
- Tow person's tip: Police tow will cost around $500 where cops also get a cut from it. Don't take a Police tow unless you have to.
Cash or Zelle is best. They have QR code to pay. read more
