    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.

    Geared and locked both ways.

    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.

    They took primo care of my Rig. Props to Dan, Eric and the rest of the team.  Guys are super legit and awesome.  Stay safe!

    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.

    Fresh suspension looking good. Ready for some back roads and Sierra camping! Thanks!

    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

    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.

    Eric helped me with picking the right suspension upgrade based on my needs and budget. His crew installed the Icon Vehicle Dynamics within the specified time line. These guys live and breathe all things Toyota trucks. I'll be back for othe mods and upgrades.

    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.

    See all

    What a great experience!!!! ---…read more ** 5.0** I wish I could give more than 5 stars on this review. Wholesale Tire and Automotive is the only shop I trust with my cars. Kenni, the owner, is amazing and always makes sure you're fully informed. Her mechanic Michael is incredibly sharp -- he diagnosed and fixed an issue on my daughter's BMW that a "name brand" shop had written off as unrepairable. It runs perfectly now. Based on that, I brought my Suburban in before a 6,000-mile road trip for my daughter's college move-in. Josiah and Kenni walked me through everything it needed, and the truck runs just like new. Fair prices, honest work, great people. Do yourself a favor and give them your business -- I won't take my cars anywhere else.

    2010 Jetta 2.5L (Oil and Coolant leak, yes we know these cars have their issues)…read more I paid $1,300 for oil and coolant leak repairs. While they did fix the oil leak from the brake vacuum pump (with customer provided part), the rest of the experience was a disaster of poor diagnostics and unauthorized billing. * Unresolved Coolant Leak: Charged to replace the coolant flange, but the car leaked coolant immediately after picking it up. Basically felt like I had to figure the problem out before bringing it back in, and/or I wasn't believed that the issue was still happening. I called back a few days later after coolant level had dropped, was told it was air pockets. Refilled and waited another week. Lost another quart+ of coolant. We park it in the dirt so I placed a tray under the vehicle and caught quite a bit of coolant with an observed active drip a day after the car had been resting (this was all communicated to Kenni with a picture). At this point she said I could bring it in, as I felt like the diagnostic was being pushed onto me to not waste their mechanics time. * Unauthorized Shifter Cable: Replaced a shifter cable during the leak repair completely without my consent or prior authorization. * Defective Recheck & Dismissive Attitude: When I brought the car back, they drove it hot instead of letting it sit cold to locate the drip, then claimed they couldn't find anything. Rather than taking responsibility, they acted like it was my fault for owning the car and made it clear they didn't want to invest any more shop hours into actually solving the problem. * Surprise Diagnostic Fee: Ran a $60 chemical block test without my permission, billed me for it, and still couldn't identify the leak. The owner is personable and gives off a "family-like, straight shooter" vibe at the counter, but that friendly helpful demeanor vanished once things got complicated and time consuming for the shop. The right thing to do would be to offer some kind of refund, but since that was not offered by default for not resolving the issue, I am going to assume this happens more often than not on certain repairs and is not worth my time to fight or challenge other than leaving a detailed review to warn others. Doing unauthorized work, shifting blame to the customer, and leaving a $1,300 bill with an active coolant leak makes it impossible to recommend this shop.

    My family and I use to come here all the time since we moved here to get our cars repaired. Just…read morerecently, I took my car in January to repair the clutch actuator in my hybrid and they took 4 months to complete the repair after trial and error. They took on a bigger project than they were qualified for, damaging a part after another, eventually replacing the hybrid battery and transmission. They always had an excuse pushing the deadline on every single inbound call. After applying daily pressure on them on a continuous basis , I finally received my car in April, however, the shop still owes me $583 for one of the car rentals they told me to purchase. I kept calling to retrieve the money but they didn't keep their word and denied paying me back. I could have easily placed a lien on the business for $583 with all the proof to retrieve my money but you know my good heart didn't follow through. Instead, writing this review will sting bigger and is the least I can do for the people. Im an easy going guy but after going through this extensive car repair, we decided to pull away from doing any future business for the wrong doing and unprofessionalism of their actions. I believe it's only right for everyone to hear about this and avoid what I went through, therefore, save yourself a headache. The owner is not a man of his word. This will bake in slowly. P.S. I also have screenshots, messages, and documents in case they want to lie and deny the truth.

    Despite what the owner stated in the past, I've had my Ford worked on over there several…read moretimes.....all for the same problem.....the transmission! The 1st time I thought all went well, until when he had the car delivered, on the receipt was stamped 6 mos warranty! Well, after I authorized him to repair the transmission....he said that he would give me a 1 year warranty. When I asked him about the 6 mos warranty stamp, he said "no worries they made a mistake....I will honor 1 year." I paid him $3,200 for the job. WHO in their right mind would agree to only a 6 mos warranty after paying that much?! So, the car ran well for about 7 months, then transmission went out. I called him, and had the car towed back over there. He said that " you know it's out of warranty, but I will see what I can do". So now he forgets about what he initially told me! So, he kept my car for another 6 mos......dodging all of my calls, and making up B.S. excuses about why my car wasn't ready! When I got the car back he told me that he would not give me a new warranty! The car ran for another few months....then transmission went out again! Smh SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! Oh, and he must know someone over here at YELP, because he had my 2 prior reviews taken down! Smh
