    A much cheaper alternative as proof Harvey's has horrible prices.
    Kel M.

    I took my car to Harvey's Autotech (due to positive reviews) on 9/12. I had run diagnostic and told them that the inverter was bad on my hybrid car. They said they would take a look at it tomorrow (9/13). I was fine with that to ensure that the diagnostic codes were correct - that's fair. They didn't say, "Usually those parts are expensive" or "Expect this to be over $2,500 if that needs to be replaced." I didn't hear back so I called on 9/14 - they said they'd get to it later that day. I waited, called again a couple days later and waited some more. I didn't hear back until a week after I dropped off the car (on 9/19) and they said it was the inverter and it would be $5,311.56 to fix it. There were no options to get used, refurbished or new third-party parts (even though these are readily available online). Instead they use genuine Toyota parts which means you might as well bring your car to the dealer for that price. This makes sense for newer cars, but not older ones. Luckily there are better options like Hybrid2Go who offer a LIFETIME warranty on inverter replacements for 3 times less the cost of Harvey's AND they will do it wherever the car is. I asked for the diagnostic fees ($149.92) to be waived, because it took a week for them to get the diagnostics done even though they said they'd do it the next day. They refused saying, they already "Did the work for diagnosing the car." In the end, I towed my car back home and ordered the entire inverter assembly used from ebay for $380 and will install it myself. It will probably take me, a programmer (not a mechanic), around 2 hours of work (faster than Harvey's estimate with "pro's"). So if you're able, go for it yourself. Lying to your customer about how long an estimate will take and then estimating 3X times a competitor is extremely poor business practice. Trust is EVERYTHING when it comes to a mechanic. All these positive reviews are from people who don't know a thing about cars and/or are not willing to look things up online. Just because the team is "nice" doesn't mean they are going to give you a fair deal. See my attached pictures for proof. You've been warned.

    Do they do electrical work?

    Yes they can and Yes they do. Diagnosing electrical problems/malfunctions is a tedious and labor-intensive job. A loose pin connector, for example, can wreak havoc with today's complex electrical systems. You need to be very precise when explaining…

    A Breakdown That Turned Into a Wonderful Experience…read more If you're ever traveling through Corona, California, and find yourself in need of an honest, dependable auto repair shop, J's Garage should be at the top of your list. My family and I had spent a wonderful week at the beach and were driving home to Arizona when our van suddenly started overheating. We had already stopped at a gas station to check the fluids, so we knew this was something that needed to be repaired before we attempted the drive home, and since it was a Saturday afternoon, we started searching for a garage that was open. By chance, we chose J's Garage--and we could not have made a better choice. We pulled in around 10:00am and explained our situation to J. Even though he and his team already had a bay full of cars to work on, they immediately pulled our heavily loaded van into the shop and checked it out. They quickly discovered that the problem was the thermostat, gave us a very reasonable estimate, and told us they expected to have it finished by 1:30. We were thrilled, but honestly, had been preparing ourselves for the possibility that we might have to find a couple of hotel rooms for the weekend because most shops are closed on Sunday. There were five of us, including my 82-year-old mom, and we were all standing outside in the heat. J himself came out, brought extra chairs into the air-conditioned waiting room, and told us to make ourselves comfortable. There was a movie on for us to watch, and he even gave us recommendations for some great Mexican restaurants in the area. We were planning to take him up on that recommendation and grab lunch around noon--but we never got the chance! Jay and his team worked incredibly quickly. Our van was repaired, and we were back on the road by 11:30 am--only about an hour and a half after arriving! J and his lovely wife were incredibly kind and welcoming throughout the entire experience. The repair cost was extremely reasonable, the service was fast and professional, and they treated us like people rather than just another repair order. And, as an added bonus, we got to watch "Back to the Future" while we waited! A vehicle breakdown on a road trip--especially with a fully loaded van, five people, an elderly family member, and a long drive still ahead--could have turned into a complete nightmare. Instead, J's Garage turned it into the best breakdown experience we have ever had. Thank you, Jay, your wife, and your entire team, for taking such good care of our family when we were in a bind. Your kindness, honesty, reasonable prices, and incredibly fast service made all the difference.

    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.
