I have nothing but good things to say about Yotamasters. Dan and the team are top notch. I dropped off my FJ62 for some lift cover and knuckle rebuild work. They walked me through the whole process, kept me up-to-date and were super transparent. I can see why so many people recommend them and their work. I'll definitely be recommending them to everyone I know and I'll be coming back next time I need some work done. Thank you guys for doing a great job. read more

All the guys at Yotamasters are great. I did my regear on my 5th Gen 4Runner here and it's been a great customer experience. They were super helpful with any questions I had before and after the regear. They answered questions on what gear ratio I should select, provided input on installing front lockers or not, and gave details on the regear break-in process. After 6ish months regeared I developed a very small leak at the front diff/driver side CV. I DM'd Yotamasters and Eric got me scheduled to fix the leak the first Monday morning he could. They diagnosed the leak and replaced the axle seal at no charge. Had me on my way before noon. They were very transparent and let me know what caused the leak and what they did to repair it. It goes to show that they stand behind their work and if there is any issues they will prioritize to fix it. Additionally, I call/DM Yotamasters regarding issues/concerns I'm having with my Toyota (even non regear related) and they're always super helpful to discuss what the issues may be. Dan knows his stuff and talks out what the brought up issue might be and what he would do as a mechanic to diagnose and potentially resolve the issue. Super helpful and respectful. Great shop. Definitely recommend! read more

Differential work is awesome. Looking for anything to give you more traction to your front and rear end? THIS IS THE PLACE. The amount of versatility this shop has is amazing. I recommend all Toyotas, Old and New. read more

After picking up a '96 4Runner Limited, (which was an absolute project) I did some quick research and found YotaMasters. Initially, I had brought in my 4Runner to have the 4WD system looked at and figured I'd have it lifted as well. After a couple phone calls, I pretty much learned my suspension, ball joints, etc, were shot. I pretty much had accepted when I bought the car, I could tell the original owner had done no maintenance whatsoever to it. Danny and Eric were both awesome and helped get me on track to getting this project going. They reached out, got all the parts ordered in quick, and even hooked it up with some other parts. I even asked for some honest advice on changing out certain springs or getting bigger tires, and they were always helpful. All in all, with the amount of work that 4Runner needed, they had it done within 2 days and the 4WD engages like its brand new. I have no problem recommending this shop to my buddies and I'll always bring it back if need something fixed or upgraded. read more

Quality service and knowledgeable staff. This is the only shop I let work on my Land Cruiser.

Eric and his crew are professionals thru and thru. I had them install 4.88 gears front and back. I also had them install a Harrop Electronic Front Locker w/ Cruiser Head 4x4 switch. I broke in my gears(500miles) and they also flushed and change my rear diff gear oil. Awesome customer service and quality work. Will be bringing my 4runner in for service from here on out. read more

I have a Toyota FJ 80 and I got it customized over there they are very very professional at customizing your off-road Toyota. But they do not fix head gaskets they don't do engine jobs they don't do big major jobs.a true yota master would do anything TOYOTA.. I hope in the near future they change their"policy" read more

The Yotamaster team is fabulous. The guys are busy as they are one the trusted Toyota master mechanics out there in Cali. Even in this trying Covid times they were able to work on my LX and get her ready when the self isolation is lifted and we hit the trails. Dan was great in walking me through the process and what work needed to be done. The shop was clean and the staff are true professionals and they breathe and eat Toyotas. I highly recommend them, they fixed my front diff right up and Reno'd my rear suspension with some beefier LC springs. Highly recommend these guys. First rate, will be back when I tire of the AHC suspension and go with something more aggressive. read more

Four years ago I drove my 4Runner to Yotomasters and was absolutely ecstatic with their work. They saved my baby! Fast forward to the present and this time it's my daughter who drove her Tacoma around the OC until she complained about how the world stunk like rotting fish all the while overheating that puppy until it just died on the 57. We all cried. But then I called Yotamasters...it's what I do. I had no idea if they could help that puppy fly again or what. I grabbed their first available appointment. And waited anxiously for the big day. Had that lil 2001 Prerunner towed in and suddenly felt a rush of relief. I was confident the Yotamasters would bring her baby back to life. Which they did! And they even pointed out how some Tool in the OC had not replaced the screws (or whatever...getting a bit technical at this point) when she previously tried to get her a/c fixed! Eric fixed that too! Whaaa?! That's two cars they saved from the scrap heap. These guys are making the world a better place! Thank you, Yotamasters! read more

Finally a place with the product and knowledge. I needed parts for my 80, and had called around to several shops and suppliers with NO LUCK... my rear axle had internal damage and in need of several parts. not only did they help me find the parts needed, they called me back to make sure I had everything needed to get back on the road. this place is a HUGE asset to any community. read more

This will be the only place I will take my Toyota Land Cruiser from here on out. Unless I am doing the work myself then Eric and the crew at Yotamasters are the only ones I'd trust for work. From the customer service to the actual work they do it is all nothing but the best. I had the truck in and out in the same day. Fast, honest and all around stellar work. Appreciate you guys/gals! If you need any work done on your yota at all, Yotamasters should be the only place you call for work. Thanks again and I'm sure I'll be back in soon! Christian read more

Cant thank the Yotamasters crew and Eric enough for fixing my 4wd system and making my new j shifter t case function properly! My 2001 Tacoma originally had an electric transfer case until it finally gave out on me... replacing the actuator was going to cost me around 1,200 dollars... called Yotamasters and spoke to Eric and told me i could convert it to a manual j shifter t case and saved me so much money by doing so.. after i installed the t case i took it to them and they did all the electrical wiring and bam my 4wd works like new. These guys are honestly amazing and their customer service simply outstanding! I wont be taking my Tacoma anywhere else but to them. Thanks again guys! read more

Put it like this. I drive 52 miles to have my 2003 Sequoia molested by this shop!! And i mean that in the best way! Eric always kept me updated on my rig. They did a once over on it and recommended work that needed future attention, but never tried to sell me on things. Wouldn't let any other off-road shop touch my rig now!!! Thanks guys!!! read more

Took my 87 Land Cruiser FJ60 in for a bumper to bumper, head to toe thorough inspection and I want to thank Dan for the work he did. Both Dan and Eric were articulate and communicate well. YotaMasters exemplified integrity and quality work through and through. Dan was clear, concise and methodical from beginning to end. Their customer service was excellent and the price for the extensive job was very fair. read more

Wow just wow. Amazing sales department. Eric absolutely knew every answer to any and all of my questions. I ordered 4 different parts yesterday at 11:45 and guess what?? The next day I get all 4 packages at the same time not even 24 hours later. Everything was exactly what I ordered and packaged to protect the parts. Cari helped me out with finishing paying for the parts and texted me directly with all tracking numbers. She was amazing with customer service and was straight forward with all the details. I would absolutely positively recommend Yotamasters any day of the week. I will now continue purchasing with them for life. Thank you so much for great service and all of your knowledge. If you are thinking about trying Yotamasters please do they are amazing!!! read more

Well after going to three different mechanics to try and find my mysterious sound that was in my 99 Limited 4x4 4Runner. I talked to Eric for about 15 minutes telling him everything I have work on, inspected, replaced trying to fix this noise that would not go away. Soon we were off on a test drive so he could hear my sound. Well sure enough just as I told Eric it would the sound came. He assured me that the issue was not what we were thinking originally (Fan Bracket Bearing on the 3.4 Engine). After getting back to the shop he pull the tire off. Well low and behold the problem was a faulty part that was just put in about a month ago(Rotor). It was just out of round enough that it was hitting something in the caliper. He was able to find the smallest of rub mark that so many misses on inspections. The Rotor was just out of specs by the hundredth of an inch. I know this sounds small but I literately have tried to track this down for over a month and it was making me crazy. To have a Tech find it in under ten minutes after actually listening to me was AMAZING! This is a fantastic shop everyone. It is not fancy by any means but the work the guys do is simply amazing. You should know just by the trail rig they build by hand all around the shop for other customers that come from all over So-Cal to them. In the end the bottom line is simple. If you own a Toyota rest assure that this is the only place that you need to go. They guys have been going strong for over 30 years now. Need I say more! Thanks again Eric for taking the time and the challenge to find my issue with out even a charge for the time you took out of your day! A thank you is not enough. I will strongly recommend your shop to all the guys from T4R.org and Tacoma World in So-Cal. Brian read more

I don't have enough good things to say about these guys. Their prices are more than fair and they stand behind their work 110%. They have even talked me out of work I thought I needed but really didn't. They didn't mind that I brought my half torn apart 4runner to them and they finished it up better than it ever was before. I don't care how far away you live, get your vehicle over to them and it will be fixed right and for a very fair price. read more

I've been going to Yotamasters for approximately 5 years now. I use them for all of my maintenance and custom work on my Toyota 4x4's. They have done everything for me from differentials, clutches, timing belts, custom welding, brake jobs, etc. I live an hour away but still use them exclusively and trust them explicitly. Their prices are fair and I've never had any issues. I highly recommend them. In fact I will be sending Eric an email today because I need a few things done. Once I had my truck towed to them and Eric stayed late way past closing time to meet the tow truck. I really appreciate the level of service I always get. read more

I give these guys (Jay and Eric) FIVE stars because they have always taken great care of my car. I have a high-mileage old Toyota Corolla that continues to run well because I've had them as my mechanics for the past 6 years. What I like best is that they never try to sell me on a repair that I don't need. They will tell me exactly what needs to be done right away, but also tell me what things can wait for repair. That is VERY helpful to someone like me on a tight budget. And I know that I have never been over-charged for any part or repair. When it came to diagnosing an elusive problem, they went above and beyond. They could have charged me more for labor, considering how much time they spent on it, but they gave me a great deal. They specialize in 4-WD/off-road Toyota trucks (see YotaMasters.com) but they are expert in all Toyotas. I highly recommend them to any Toyota owner in Corona! read more

Jay and Eric run a hole-in-the-wall garage that is second to none in Corona. They both have 4x4 backgrounds and they are very solid, HONEST mechanics. I am very particular about who works on my car. Here you get professional service that's done right every time. I've been coming here for about five years and would not consider taking my cars anywhere else. I know that it looks like a shack - and it is, but if you want prompt attention to detail when your car is concerned and a fair price, there is simply no place else. read more

Never like to leave bad reviews, as a matter of fact I never have. I called the day before thanksgiving just wanted to set up to get some work done on 2012 Highlander, girl that answered said someone would call me on Friday or Saturday to set up a time to bring it in. She did say might be a couple weeks out, no problem. No call backs so I called again on 11/28/17, same girl, I explained I never got a call back, can we set something up. She again said someone would give me a call later that day. No call that day or the day after that or any day thereafter. Review is on poor customer service (no call backs) not on any work done. Like I said, hate to leave a bad review, but customer service is non existent. :( read more

The best of the best great at what they do and it shows! As you can see from all the reviews Eric is a stand up guy and is willing to work to make thing right and get you back on your feet! read more

I've only ordered parts from them, but they will call if the parts seem questionable. Plus they ship promptly and correctly and routinely have the best deals around, as well as actually having parts on hand or willing to drop ship. And they give you stickers. read more

Hey they called me back promptly I've turned down plenty of jobs I didn't want (construction) I apologize for the lame review

Took my 1974 Toyota Land Cruise FJ40 in for a suspension upgrade, and to get brake cylinders checked. Dan was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They did all the work within the estimated time frame and price. They did an outstanding job. I was told prior to picking up my vehicle that while they were working on It they damaged my master brake cylinder. Yotamaster showed integrity not exemplified by many. They advised me of their mistake, and replaced the master cylinder, no cost to me!! They could've easily told me that it was already damaged and I wouldn't have known better and charged me. They have gained a customer for life. read more

I only have my 80 series Land Cruiser serviced here. Recently got a front axle rebuild. Eric and his guys are honest, want to help you and great guys to be around. They do quality work and know these trucks better than anyone. On top of that, service is always timely and professional. They will take their time to explain to you and show you what exactly is going on. If you are anywhere in SoCal, I wouldn't hesitate to make a trip here. Where it be standard maintenance or major projects, they will take care of you, and I wouldn't trust anybody else. read more

I have had both of my Lexus lx450 (fzj80) serviced here the service is excellent. Eric and the crew make you feel welcome and are very personable. Thanks guys read more

I don't even know where to start. My 86 pickup has been to several mechanics over the years, no one who really knew Toyotas. Eric and his team has fixed so many issues at the price he quotes. He's replaced my rear diff, installed a short shifter, fixed my AC, rebuilt the carb, and everything has turned out great. It's the only place I'll take my pride and joy. read more

Brought my 2004 4x4 TRD Extracab in for a timing belt and accessory belts change. They provided me a fair quote, made some suggested services BUT did not push me on getting them done.

I'm not sure where to begin with my review because I have so many positive things to say about Yotamasters. I wanted to get rock sliders as a present for someone and was told about Yotamasters from a competitor parts store. Just so you know, I live in downtown LA so Corona is not the closest location for me, but I thought I would give them a shot. Long story short, and too bad for the competitor, but best referral EVER!!! From the minute I called and spoke with "Cari", up until the time the sliders arrived, my communication with her was professional all the way. Not only was "Cari" professional, she was very friendly, helpful, and personable. She even kept me updated daily as to when my order was going to arrive. "Cari" and the Yotamasters crew even got in on my little scheme of "ordering furniture" to make the sliders a surprise for the recipient when he picked them up. This was definitely one of the best experiences I have ever had with a parts and service provider. Thank you Yotamasters. You are the best!!!! read more

I took my 2005 Tacoma into another mechanic and they couldn't find the problem, they also didn't want to work on it because it was lifted and had oversized tires. I took it over to Yota Masters and told Eric the vibration issues I was having. Later that day not only did he find the problem but he got it fixed. I got my truck back the same day with three new u-joints and couldn't be happier with the smooth ride. Price was good and service was even better. I am glad to say I have found a place to take my truck to if I ever have any more problems! read more
