He called the shop, and the gentleman who answered gave him a very reasonable and fair quote.

He also mentioned the car might not be ready until the following week, which we completely understood and were fine with. To our surprise, just three hours later, we got a call letting us know it was the alternator and the car was ready for pickup! We are so pleased with the level of service and how well we were treated. It felt like they genuinely cared about helping us.

Based on that recommendation I agreed to buy them. Just two days later, one of the tires blew out while I was driving on the freeway. Thankfully, I had just dropped off my kids before it happened because I can't imagine how much worse the situation could have been if they had been in the car! I almost lost control and crashed! This was a terrifying experience especially considering these were supposed to be brand-new tires! I expected them to be safe and reliable, not fail after only two days.I will never come back here again and do not recommend buying tires from this business. Based on my experience, the tires were not durable, and I no longer trust the quality of their products or the recommendations they give customers!!

He gave us a very straightforward, no-nonsense estimate and only recommended the work he actually felt was necessary. The price was fair, and that honesty is what made us decide to go with him. There were definitely some challenges along the way, especially with permits in our city. Apparently it is much tougher than others when it comes to permits, and it ended up requiring a lot more paperwork and extra effort than he expected. Even with all that, Cyrus stuck to his original quote and never tried to charge us more, which we really appreciated. Jaime and Jesus handled the installation of the air handler, ductwork, and heat pump. They worked hard, were very respectful of our home, kept things clean, and honestly were much quieter doing the work than I expected considering all the cutting and installation involved. They also worked hard to finish ahead of the timeline they originally gave us. Inspection passed with no issues, and now we've been using the AC for months with zero problems. Overall, we're really happy with the work and would definitely recommend them.

It was definitely worth trying this business in the South Bay.

Well, "limp mode" rushed that process, and I Googled something close to have my car towed. Amen for God's grace and favor, that The Toy Shop ended up being a Godsend. I spoke with Rene on the phone, and trusted that he would know what he was doing with a blind tow. AAA came and got it, and delivered it while Rene ordered the parts: an alternator. It was a Saturday, so I knew they closed at 1pm, and I thought I wouldn't get my car back until Monday. Well, lo and behold, Rene called near 4pm to tell me to come get it. Upon arrival, he told me as a new intake, they did an inspection, found little stuff, made some recommendations, and sent me on my way for the initially-quoted price (1/2 off the dealer!). AMAZING! I'm so glad I've found a new home for my car, and have already told 3 other friends, one who went in today.

From my very first phone call, I had a great experience. I called on a Thursday, and they were able to get me in the very next day. The receptionist was friendly, welcoming, and made the entire scheduling process incredibly easy. When I dropped my car off on Friday, I explained the steering concerns I'd been experiencing. They listened carefully, assured me they would thoroughly inspect everything, and later that afternoon called to let me know they expected to have the car ready by Monday. What impressed me the most was their honesty. After inspecting my car, they told me they couldn't find anything that needed to be replaced regarding my steering concerns. They easily could have recommended unnecessary repairs, and I never would have known the difference, but they chose to be honest instead. That kind of integrity is hard to find. They also performed a wheel alignment, topped off my tire pressure, and even identified a completely separate issue that will need attention in the future. They gave me a quote for that repair without any pressure or sales tactics. To top it all off, my final bill was nearly $200 less than I had originally expected. Finding a mechanic you can genuinely trust is rare, and I feel like I found one. Roberto's Auto Repair has earned a customer for life. If you're looking for honest people who do quality work and treat customers with respect, I can't recommend them enough.
