I have had nothing but great experiences with Willie AV Lexus Tech. They taken care of four of the cars in our family for the past six years. Many times he has offered to pick us up and take us home when we leave our car there. The work has been perfect, on time and at a reasonable cost! also, Willie has given me the option to go with non-Lexus parts and I prefer all Lexus parts to be replaced in my Lexus he has always done this! They have definitely saved us money over going to Lexus of Valencia, which is the closest place to us for Lexus services. I have referred many friends to them and they are not always local people and still continue to come to the antelope Valley for his services because they are very happy with the job he does in taking care of their cars. we have never had any issues whatsoever with the work that was on all of our cars in this family! I would have highly recommended them to many friends and family! read more

I am impressed by their willingness to go above and beyond expectations. Prior to working with them I took my Lexus to Lex Service on PCH in Harbor City. At this time I think that the value is awesome. read more

I buy my Toyotas and Lexus to keep because they are excellent machines. And I reinvested into my Lexus IS350-C. My water pump seal had some seepage. So I had every serviceable part and seal replaced, including the rear main seal, and radiator replace. The car is happy it's like new again. Fair prices, high quality work, and knowledgeable mechanics that can be trusted. Next up is my lifted 4Runner for a complete engine reseal and service. I know it will pass 500k miles plus. Highly recommend for minor and major services. Willy and Carlos are good people, they won't steer you wrong, only help you. read more

Stay away from Carlos, my friend's car was damaged by him. Carlos loosen all the bolts of the fan right after my friend drove home. Very Bad Guy! Need to stay with your vehicle at all time during inspection. Think twice before bringing your car to this shop for service. read more

AV Lexus & Toyota Service - Carlos - Auto Repair Near Me - Lancaster, California

Review of AV Lexus and Toyota Services (Palmdale, CA). I paid AV Lexus and Toyota Services $155 for a standard pre-purchase inspection. The purpose was simple: evaluate a vehicle before deciding whether to buy it. This is routine business for any repair shop and depends entirely on professional independence and basic ethics. That trust was misplaced. The inspection process dragged on longer than expected. While waiting, I briefly stepped out of the office, leaving the vehicle's owner inside with Willy, the shop's owner. Willy knew exactly why I was there and that I was considering buying the car. During that time, he solicited the seller directly and expressed interest in purchasing the car himself. I learned about this only after the visit ended. The inspection results came back with a list of supposed problems totaling over $10,000 in repairs, described as a conservative estimate. Under normal circumstances, I would weigh that information carefully. But once I learned that the same person performing the inspection was privately attempting to buy the car, the entire report became suspect. A mechanic who stands to profit personally from discouraging a buyer cannot be considered neutral. That is a textbook conflict of interest. According to the seller, Willy openly stated that he buys and flips cars on the side and wanted this one. That alone destroys any claim of impartiality. It raises a straightforward question: was the inspection an honest evaluation, or a tactic to scare off a buyer and lower the price? When confronted, Willy denied everything and called it a misunderstanding. At the same time, he stated the most he would offer for the vehicle was $5,500 because of the extensive repairs he claimed were necessary. Shortly after the inspection performed by his associate Carlos, the car reportedly began experiencing new issues. Whether coincidence or consequence, it only deepened the sense that something was wrong. The final insult came the very next day. After insisting he would not and could not buy the vehicle, Willy contacted the seller again and offered $7,000. The same man who denied any interest suddenly increased his offer once the buyer he competed against was out of the picture. Charging a customer for an inspection and then secretly competing against that customer for the same vehicle crosses a basic ethical line. An inspection is supposed to provide clarity. Instead, this one created doubt about every conclusion and every recommendation. The issue here is not simply poor service. It is conduct that calls into question honesty, professional integrity, and business ethics. A shop entrusted with evaluating vehicles should not be using that position to pursue private deals at a customer's expense. If independence and transparency matter, this is not a business that demonstrates either. read more

I can't say enough good things about this business. They definitely know Toyota and Lexus and they don't rip you off. If you have a Toyota or Lexus and it needs to be looked at or fixed I recommend this place. They're honest, friendly, and they specialize in Toyota and lexus. One thing to note though is they have a new address 42457 8th St E, Lancaster, CA 93535 I highly recommend this business. read more

This place is great. They do a very professional job at a reasonable price. The address listed here is not correct thought. The correct address is as follows: 42457 8th Street East Lancaster, CA 93535 read more

NEW LOCATION (42457 8th St. East Lancaster, 93536) Wanted to start off by saying one word...EXCELLENT! This company had excellent service, they were very friendly and detail-oriented. I had called the day of and asked if they had any available times to take my car in for a routine maintenance oil change. I was able to get in within an hour of calling. The oil change took no longer than an hour. The employees and owner were incredibly respectful. (Takes any-type of car) Their newest location was very easy to access from East Ave L & Columbia Way(Ave M) to Challenger Way where I was to take L-8 to 8th St East. They are "a one stop shop" with experts in each field, auto body claims and repair, window tinting and window replacement.

STILL have not been contacted to repair the damage they caused. Unprofessional & PATHETIC.

Great people dedicated to doing the best job for a customer! I searched places for Toyota shops in the AV and the list was short. I tried these guys and was glad I did. Carlos and Willy were the techs that fixed my Tundra. Carlos took a while to diagnose but found the issues. they took their time to find the issues and fixed it in 3 days. Honesty is key here and I will keep bringing in my toyotas and recommend them to family and friends. The price seemed fair for all that they had to do. Great job guys, keep up the good work. The Office Technician was also knowledgeable and helpful. read more

I will be returning for my future service and repair needs!! They clearly know what they are doing and will do the job at a fair rate. They provide you with the options and speak to you intelligently. They easily diagonsed a problem that the dealer caused (to my 2006 Lexus IS250) and fixed it for an impossibly low price. read more

I'm so glad I found this place. Who wants to drive 45 minutes to the closest Lexus dealership every time you need an oil change? Not me. Willy, the owner, is great! I think he has close to 30 years experience working on Lexus vehicles, so I know my car is in good hands. I never feel like he's trying to sell me things my car doesn't really need. He's always upfront and honest about the work he's performing and how much it is going to cost. Plus, he always seems to remember me and details about my car, which shows me that he really pays attention to each of his customers. The waiting room is nice and cozy with lots of magazines to choose from. The tv is always on and tuned in to something interesting. There is free coffee and a vending machine there too, if you need anything. read more

Willy's AV Lexus & Toyota Service will be the only place I will go to take care of my Lexus needs. I am so happy to have found him. As always Willy and his team provide top service. I love the fact that Willy only uses lexus factory parts for all lexus service needs. This time, I actually had someone hit my parked car and not leave a note. I asked if Willy can help me out with my front bumper. Of couse he can. He and his crew did a fantastic job. When I had concerns before and after the car repair, Willy's motto was "we want our customer's happy" and catered to my needs. Trust Willy and his team to get the job done! read more

I recently recommended the shop to a coworker and she was very impressed with the amazing service and felt it was an honest price for an honest job. Brought my car in today to have the oil changed, was done in a very reasonable amount of time, at a pretty reasonable price. Sarah took my info when I came in, Willie the owner was very friendly and personable and brought to my attention my brakes need to be replaced. Appointment scheduled for Tuesday. They've won my business going forward, it's nice to have someone you can trust working on my car!!! read more

In late 2018, my 2010 Toyota Prius engine (with approximately 222,000 miles on it) started using over a quart of oil per week and I would notice white smoke coming out of the exhaust during heavy acceleration. I had been taking it to the dealer for service regularly and had multiple problems there (undercarriage cover came loose and started dragging after service, brake fluid leaking after service). When I took it to the dealer regarding the engine oil consumption problem, they told me it would be best to replace the engine with a used engine for about $4500. Given the issues I had when taking it to the dealer and the premium price I would pay for taking it to the dealer, I opted to give AV Lexus & Toyota Service a call after researching them online and noting their many positive reviews. Willy was very patient and knowledgeable as we discussed repair options ranging from rebuilding the engine to replacing the engine. Ultimately, I decided to have them replace the engine with a used engine that had about 40,000 miles on it. They offered a significant discount for paying cash, but the price for putting the service on a credit card was pretty close to what the dealer quoted me. It did take a while for the engine to arrive, so I wish that I had asked about that and coordinated the logistics a little better so that I could have had the use of my vehicle while we were waiting for the engine to arrive. However, everything worked out well in the end. I looked under the hood when I picked up the car and was impressed to see that the engine compartment had been cleaned spotless. It looked like the day that I bought it. The engine fired right up and ran smoothly as I put the vehicle through its paces on the way home. It is now May of 2019 and the vehicle has been running nicely since the engine replacement in late 2018. No more oil consumption and no more white smoke during heavy acceleration. My overall impression with AV Lexus & Toyota Service is that they are a knowledgeable, professional, personable, and trustworthy business. I am glad that I gave them a try and I will gladly deal with them again in the future. Thanks again for getting me back on the road guys! read more

Absolutely love this place!!! In the AV there are only a few places you can trust and this place is one! Willie is super sweet and his staff is great! They took my car in as a same day appointment and had me out in no time! They have a cute waiting area and offer coffee, which is always nice while you wait. Willie informed me that they also offer a service where they'll pick up your car and service it if you don't have an accommodating schedule, how great is that!! I will never take my Lexus anywhere else for service! Thanks again Willie! read more

Great place! Better cost than the dealership, better service as well. Took care of the tire pressure monitor sensors in my 2010 Prius. These guys will take really good care of you, Willy is the best! Thanks guys. read more

Woke up one morning with the delightful surprise of my Lexus IS250 not starting. The nearest Lexus dealership is in Valencia, which would cost a fortune to tow to, so I started to do some research. We just moved here from Seattle, so Yelp and word of mouth have been invaluable. Folks at my hubby's work suggested calling The Shop in Quartz Hill and AV Lexus & Toyota Service. Called "The Shop" and asked if they carry OEM Lexus Parts. They said "no, but we can order them" and the owner said his daughter had a Lexus (I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but any good salesman also "has the same car," you know what I mean?) Called AV Lexus & Toyota Service and left a voicemail. Within a few minutes, Willy called right back, (super friendly) assuring me that yes, they have OEM Lexus parts on hand, and they specialize in Lexus & Toyota (he worked at a dealership for 20-some years prior to opening the shop.) Seemed like a very genuine and experienced guy; I knew he'd take good care of my vehicle. So, I had Allstate tow the car over. One hour later, I got a call from Willy saying all I needed was a new battery and it would be ready in an hour for pickup. He stayed past closing time just for us, and was such a delight to meet in person. We ended up paying much less than what the dealer would've charged for labor, diagnostics, and a top-notch battery with a 4-yr warranty. Overall, this was a tremendous experience. We are so lucky to have a Lexus specialist here in Lancaster, who will treat our vehicles with care and perfection. Side note: I was surprised by the nice waiting room inside AV Lexus & Toyota. It's very nice! I mean, comfortable seating, a table for laptop work, nice TV and homey decor. This isn't your run-of-the-mill auto shop in Lancaster. If they had a barista, I'd hang there all day! ;) read more

Everyone was really great! Especially Ernie that's a good car sales men. I didn't feel like I got robbed. I felt like I drove off with the best deal. Thank you Toyota! read more

The last time I took my Prius in for an oil change they assured me that my left rear shock, and front sway bar links were no longer functional and needed to be replaced immediately. I declined the repairs and had my next service done at the dealership, which I should have done the last time since their new location (which isn't updated here) is out of a residence, and I asked the dealership about the problems AV Lexus & Toyota Service said I needed to take care of immediately and they saw nothing of the sort. It seems due to their lack of business is causing them to falsely claim problems with customer's vehicles in order to get more money. I definitely do not recommend giving this business you well earned money. Also, the first time I came to them for an oil change they said I had a crack in my head gasket (6 months after I bought the car) and never said anything about it again. More I went there, the more SKETCHY it seemed. read more

Great and friendly customer service! Willy is always very professional and communicates everything clearly. Everything from the service on my car to the customer service and even the waiting area is a great experience! I will definitely recommend AV Lexus and Toyota Services to any of my friends and family! read more

I've been looking for a place to get my Acura serviced since my brother got a job with MetroLink and isn't a mechanic any longer. Willie and his team did a fantastic job and have great customer service. I will go back next time I need anything for my car . read more

Willy is the man. Bailed me out multiple times. I have an 06 Camry. Sunroof broke and anyone who's messed with one knows the work involved. Still working a couple years later. Take your Toyotas here rather than the dealer. I wish he was now in Vegas. read more

I just took my 2008 Lexus ISF they're very polite the technician and the owner told me all the things that they did to the car and asked me if I had any questions which is rare nowadays that people care about what you think . The receptionist was very friendly. I went in there with the VSC code and the traction control light on they said all they had to do was clear in the computer system, they charged me a simple two hour diagnostic fee which I think is fair. Hopefully the car is fixed I will go back again if I need anymore services. read more

I have been taking my Toyotas and Honda to Willy for years now. Willy and his staff are always professional and honest with me. They go above and beyond to make me happy. Truly the best customer service I have ever received. read more

Wish there were more than 5 Stars! My husband and I are new to the AV. Well, we've been gone from the AV for nearly 30 years. So it seems new to us all over again. We are use to doing our own repairs and working on our own vehicles without taking them to a mechanic unless necessary. Due to unfortunate circumstances we both have become disabled and not able to continue doing our own maintenance. Trust and Honesty is a quality we have been looking for to takeover caring for our vehicles. We struck GOLD when we followed the recommendations to take our very old Toyota 4Runner (1990) in to AV Lexus Toyota Sevice. Willy, the owner is very kind, patient and honest. Being that we are disabled and on a tight budget, we dont hae the money to do all the maintenance that is needed right now. Willy was able to tell us what we needed to do now to get it smoged so we can get the new tags. There is more work to be done since its been awhile since we found someone we could trust and feel comfortable with. I imagine that during the next few months Willy and our family will get to be good friends. By the end of the year we will have one of the best vehicles on the road!!!! Thank you Willy for all you have done. I look forward in seeing you again soon!!! read more

Amazing customer service - called for a quote, got a return call in under 5 minutes. Texted with a mechanic with details on my car and got an amazing quote to the penny - and at $1k less than the dealer! Will recommend to all my friends and family! read more

Great communication, fair prices, clean work. They did a complete motor swap for us. We're extremely happy, would definitely recommend.

I've been coming to this shop for years, I found a shop that's trustworthy. I don't have to worry. You're treated like family!!! If I don't understand something and I have questions they'll explain in detail. I never leave with doubts. Thank You :) read more

Run, don't walk from this business. In fact if I were you and you go here, get two more estimates. One time they put on cheap substandard parts and charged as though they were the best. Went back after a problem due to this and then was told we needed something else. Went to two other dealers and found out it was a line of crap. their needed an addition over $1,000 dollars in service turned out to be only $200. and we had to replace what they did before. Worse is that they hide the cars in the back and you can't see them working like most reputable auto repair places. read more

Found this place totally by accident. The service was great. The prices are reasonable, the work was done on time and the owner is very personable. I highly recommend this place. read more

I bought a car for a friend. The friend moved across the country and left the car undriveable with a broken harmonic balance, an elapsed registration and he had lost the title! The car is in Lancaster, I am in Bethesda Maryland. Now what do I do? I get on yelp, find AV Lexus Toyota, call them. Carlos says he will fix the car if I get it towed in. He gives me a tow truck number, the tow truck guy will only accept a check not a credit card. I send the check, he tows the car to AV. Carlos fixes the car, I pay with a credit card. This is all happening by phone and by trust. Carlos offers to sell the car for me but there is no title. I send a signed form requesting a new title, Carlos sends me a money order for the car. Do I think AV Lexus Toyota is a good place to have your car fixed. After what happened with my car, you better believe it! Ann Orr read more

Great service!! Owner very knowledgable and great prices! Will make the commute from Valencia for my vehicle to get serviced! Our 4 vehicles get serviced here... work 100% guaranteed. read more

We found AV Lexus and Toyota completely by accident. My car needed some major work done and my boyfriend called and spoke to the owner, Willy. They immediately bonded and it was all smooth sailing from there. We took my car in on a Saturday and the mechanics were super friendly and more importantly, able to fix my car before the day was over. The great thing about it was the cost came in at more than 1/2 off the other quotes we had received (both Independents and Dealers)! After driving the car for a week, I noticed the car had a slight pull to the right (new tires and alignment). We took it back and it was fixed, no questions, no hassles, NO CHARGE! They work on all cars so I asked Willy if he would do a complete check of my daughter's car. A mere $50 later, he told us what was worth fixing and what wasn't (the car is on its last legs). We also found out that he has a paint and body shop right across the way too! Willy was honest, more than fair and competitive in cost and super friendly. He is now our only mechanic and we highly recommend him! read more

I used to have to take the day off to get to Valencia to get my car serviced, now I just go here. The service is GREAT, and the owner makes you feel very comfortable in his shop. I will never go back to any dealership! And the best part it's very affordable (not dealership prices) read more

AV Lexus is the best! Willie and his staff took my 1989 Toyota Truck in performed miracles on my leaky truck. I would give Willie and AV Lexus Toyota 100 stars if possible. If your looking for great customer service and quality craftsmanship look no further than AV Lexus and Toyota Service. Willie and his staff will treat you right from quality service to getting you to where you need to go!!!!! read more

I have been taking my vehicles to this shop for close to 5 years now. This is my first ever Yelp review! I have always looked to Yelp for suggestions of where to go. But never joined because honestly I'm to lazy to post reviews. The quality of service and detail of customer care, that is a constant at this shop is what compelled me to finally join Yelp and post a review. This shop truly deserves praise! I have been to many dealerships and non dealership service garages, by far they are the most honest, and thorough shop I've ever been to. Their attitudes towards customer service are the same every visit. I am a very picky person and in most cases try to do as many things myself as possible. Mainly because of bad past experiences , as picky as I can be they have more than won my trust in caring for my Toyota and non-Toyota vehicles. I hope they are around for a long time to come! read more

Willie was so helpful and prompt in getting our problem fixed on our 2006 RX450h so we could be on the road again.

Please make that trip to the dealers for a major repairs, unless you want to make repeated trips to this shop.They'll never get your Lexus fixed. There's no warranty for the kind of work these sleazy people do. You pay a lot at a dealership but the work is guarateed with genuine parts. Also, these people are known for taking your nice car for lunch trips. read more

Unbelievably great service and very reasonable prices. Very friendly and extremely knowledgable. I've had my 1996 Lexus GS300 worked on more than once and I leave satisfied/happy every time after the work is completed. I've recommended this shop to everyone I know with a Lexus/Toyota. It's quite simple, honestly...... Either you can bring your car here and get great service with a reasonable price or you can take it to a dealership and have crappy service with ridiculous prices. read more
