    I never write reviews but TLD auto really deserves it.

After a google search I saw good reviews for TLD and thought I give them a try because Toyota dealership quoted me the cost of my car to replace the battery. I took my Prius in and Dan really impressed me, Dan knows his Toyotas like the back of his hand and he is so passionate about what he does. Dan takes pride in his work and does VERY thorough job. He educated me on why he had his recommendations and took pictures and showed me how dirty my fluids and filters were. He will educate you on how to keep your car running well long term. I'm a cheapskate and always trying to cut cost but I really appreciated his approach to investing in maintenance to prevent from having those large repairs or ruining your car by avoiding maintenance or taking shortcuts. Take you Toyota to Dan and I promise you won't regret it! Rosa

Very honest guy and will provide you will high quality service. Dan goes above and beyond with his service and we appreciate the helpful info/ tips he provides to keep our car running great. Best prices compre to the big garage shops . I highly recommend taking your car to Dan for any car services.

    I brought my car to Kolben Auto Care after one of the most impressive first phone calls I've ever…read morehad with an auto shop. I spoke with Marc, and his energy and enthusiasm about taking care of my car were almost contagious. I came in for an oil change and told them I probably needed brakes on both axles. Based on the mileage and owner's manual, I thought the brake fluid might be due as well. A short while later Marc called. Oil change done. Brakes? Plenty of life left. Brake fluid? They chemically tested it--and the other fluids--using vials and color scales almost like a pool test kit. Everything tested good. That told me immediately what kind of shop I had found. They weren't looking for work to add. They were finding out what my car actually needed. They photographed my engine and cabin filters so I could see them myself. Marc said the engine filter still had life left, but with Central Valley air quality, he recommended the cabin filter. I chose to replace both. I asked if the new cabin filter would eliminate the mysterious midnight smells of Tulare. We agreed there probably isn't a filter powerful enough for that. Then Marc floored me with how well he knew my particular model. He explained what services I could expect at different mileages based on the car and how I drive it. I'm a car nut. I read the books. I watch the videos. I thought I knew my car. **I left Kolben knowing more about it than when I arrived.** There was never any pressure. I knew what they found, what could wait, what they recommended and why. I was always in control. And maybe the highest compliment I can give them: **I would be completely comfortable sending my wife there alone with the car.** She isn't a car nut, but I trust that she would receive exactly the same honesty, respect and straightforward advice I did. I trust Marc. I trust this shop. **I drove in hoping someone would take good care of my car. I drove away more confident in my car than I have ever been.** I can't tell you how much that is worth.

    I had an amazing visit and received A+ service. I took in my used Audi that I purchased a few…read moremonths ago. Will and the amazing staff at Kolben evaluated my car and came up with a plan to get my car caught up with needed services and a list of services for the near future. I am so grateful that I found an automotive team that I can trust to take great care of my car.

    I can't say enough good things about these guys! I brought my truck in after constantly having…read moreproblems with my front differential. Every time I'd take it out to the dunes and drive through the sand to get my camper where I wanted it, the front differential would end up cracking or failing. Brett and Kev took the time to diagnose the real issue and came up with a permanent solution. They fabricated a custom bracket to reinforce the front differential, making it much stronger, and also re-geared both the front and rear differentials. I was honestly a little hesitant at first because I'd had so many failures in the past, but after taking it back out to the dunes and putting it through some hard driving in the sand, it performed flawlessly. The difference is incredible. My truck feels stronger, more capable, and gives me the confidence to drive it the way I always wanted to. If you're looking for knowledgeable people who stand behind their work and build things the right way, I highly recommend Brett and Kev at Big Boyz. Thanks again, guys you turned my truck into a beast!

From the start, they took the time to really consult with me about how I use my truck and helped guide me toward the right equipment for my setup. That level of attention made a huge difference. Bret, Kevin, and Brenda were all fantastic -- super personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure everything was done right. They went to great lengths to keep me informed throughout the entire process, which gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. I visited a few other shops before making my decision, and none of them came close to the professionalism, communication, and overall service this team provided. The lift turned out exactly how I envisioned, and the truck looks and drives amazing. The post services they include the work they do is above and beyond! If you're looking for a shop that truly cares about their customers and takes pride in their work, this is the place. I'm beyond happy with every service they provided and would absolutely recommend them.
