Since my initial service for my battery 4 years ago, Rasti has been my go-to for all things Prius. I've gone to him countless times over the years, and he continues to prove why he's truly top tier. I have never once had a bad experience with him or his team. Rasti is incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and efficient. Every time I bring my car in, he takes the time to explain everything thoroughly and always makes sure the job is done right. His pricing is fair, his turnaround time is impressive, and the quality of work consistently exceeds expectations. It's hard to find a mechanic you can genuinely trust, but Rasti and his team have earned that trust time and time again. You can tell they truly care about their customers and take pride in their work. If you have a Prius and need someone reliable, skilled, and professional, I cannot recommend Rasti enough. read more

Honest, unbelievably helpful. Highly recommended. Once replaced my Prius hybrid battery. Most recently drove out to the coast (80 miles) on a holiday weekend to help me as I was stranded. Purchased a new part and installed it for me. I am incredibly grateful read more

The team worked on my Lexus RX450h today. I opted to get my battery reconditioned as I wasn't sure I was going to keep this car long term. I have 148k miles and thought my battery would go to 200k or more. There isn't alot of places that provide multple options for fixing this issue. 1. repair, 2. new other brand, 3. OEM Lexus/Toyota. They were very fast, and work past their normal hours so that my car would be ready the next day. After the fix, the battery level seems a lot more stable then before. Even though I have a 6 month warranty, it seems like it might go longer. Thank you both for fixing my car. read more

Car not ready yet... but they usually don't open Sunday's and they were able to accommodate us Thank you read more

They gave me the best price and the permanent code I had on the car cleared by the time I got home.

This place was awesome they were able to fix my Prius same day with great pricing & friendly service. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking into hybrid repairs. read more

Found this place on Yelp. Decided to give it a try based on reviews. My service was excellent! Fast service. Fair pricing. Will return as needed! read more

Mohammad was really nice and made the whole experience quick. He had me pick up the part from Toyota and replaced everything within the hour. Would do business again read more

Rasti was very upfront with his recommendation to continue driving the car as is until the hybrid battery fails. Other than lower mpg, the car runs fine. He tested the car and didn't find anything. He provided cost and replacement options when replacement is needed. He tested my Ford Fusion free of charge. I will definitely go back to him when I need a hybrid battery replaced. read more

Good quick installation for my Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. I bought the replacement from LKQ and Rasti installed for $350

"We're closed today, what year is your car? And how many miles? Really? I'll be there in 30 minutes - wait for me." Mohammed asked, "How long do you want to keep this car? You could go with the reconditioned battery, or the new which has a longer warranty." Both prices were surprisingly affordable and the Prinus is so reliable otherwise, I went with the new Chinese battery set. So fast, so honest, the complete replacement was finished in less than two hours - he even cleaned out my battery cooling fan for free and told me how to put silicone sealant to plug two leak points in the rear hatchback. Highly recommend this Service! read more

Rasti knows what he's talking about and won't try to upsell you. He wants you to get what you need, as quickly as possible, and he'll ask you smart questions about how you use your vehicle in order to help you decide. Of course, he'll describe all the options available, too. He's got a nice website, but hasn't wasted a lot of money building himself a fancy storefront, so don't be intimidated or put-off by the no-frills appearance of his workplace. He is entirely focused on giving you what you need at a great price. I drive a 2006 Prius purchased used with low mileage in 2018. I drive all day for my personal business and was prepared to spend a premium to minimize interruptions and maximize peace of mind, but Rasti explained to me very clearly why that wasn't actually necessary in my case. Before I left, he also pointed out a common type of external body wear and tear that can result in damage to hybrid batteries in old Prius's, and how to fix it. On top of all that, I had realized after he was already working on the car that I had left my subwoofer (I know, subwoofer in a Prius, who does that? I do, I guess!) in the back and connected to the car. I called him to ask if I should retrieve it and he asked me if I knew how it was wired or had the diagram. I told him I could put it back in, no problem, and he said I didn't need to come get it. When I got came to pick up the car, he had not only put it back in, but it was all connected more neatly than I had left it. Please don't *expect* that kind of thing from him! But if he can, I suspect he will go the extra mile for you. He charged exactly what he had told me he would when I first approved the work. I got the peace of mind I was after at a tiny fraction of the cost I would have spent elsewhere. read more

I replaced my hybrid battery on my 2008 Prius at 166,500 miles with a refurbished battery from Hybrid Battery Solutions. They had the best price hands down, with excellent service. I am very happy with it. I have had no problems. It works great! Why pay more? They were very helpful, professional and honest. I was in & out in under an hour. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to replace their hybrid battery. read more

Was there this afternoon to get a opinion from the owner about to codes that came up on my bluedriver scanner. He was very honest and took me to go to the dealership for the inverter issue and said it should be covered under warranty. read more

So far, so good. Only time will tell. My 2013 Lexus ES 300 hybrid went out on me after almost 200,000 miles. I had my choice of either adding more cells getting a rebuilt or getting a brand new one to which Rasti had recommended. I went with his recommendation and only time will tell. I did some research and it seems Rasti has been in this hybrid business for quite a few years and has great review. read more

Rasti was very responsive and replaced our older Prius's hybrid battery with a brand new Toyota battety two weeks ago the same day we called. It's now getting better gas mileage and good for long distance travel again. He also helped our son repair a seat and put a sealant on the window so it wouldn't leak, and gave tips on car maintenance. We had a great experience with Rasti and highly recommend Hybrid Battery Solutions! read more

Had a wonderful experience today! Rasti fixed my sons 2007 Prius battery quickly and efficiently He's back on the road as soon as he got it home and says it's working just like new again! Thank you so much!!! read more

My Camry hybrid 2014 had the problem. It did not start but all the indicators lights were on. I tried to jump start and not solving the problem. I called their service and came next day at the end of the day. He solved the problem by using his car battery to jump start. What I thought was hybrid battery problem but actually my jump start battery was not enough power. Mr. Rasti was honest and helpful to solve the problem. I will use him again if I need it. read more

My check engine light went off on my 2013 Prius C and I went to Hybrid Battery Solutions to check it out. They ran the diagnostics and I found out the problem was a loose gas cap- the hybrid battery did not need to be replaced. The owner is extremely knowledgeable about Prius' and when I do need a new battery, I'll go back to Hybrid Battery Solutions to have it replaced. They charge about half of what the dealerships charge for the SAME battery. I highly recommend Hybrid Battery Solutiions!! read more

I want to give - stars if i could. Im a returning customer but I got horrible experience this time. I contacted him and he said he is on vacation. I understood that so i didnt mind even if he took forever to answered me back but he just ignored me. I understood hes out of town but I just wanted to checked if the price is same as last time and made an appointment ahead of time but he just ignored me. Thats totally fine if you dont want my business. There tons of legit shops out there and I end up getting it fixed at another shop in santa clara and happy with it. read more

I had a great experience here. Took my Prius with a faulty battery, got a reconditioned battery pack within less than an hour; in and out for less than a fifth of what the dealer would have charged me. read more

After nearly breaking down on the freeway and needing a tow home, we decided to try an auto shop that was knowledgeable about Priuses. Rasti diagnosed the problem within a minute and replaced the inverter pump in under an hour with quality parts for an excellent price. We will definitely be coming back if and when we have another concern! read more

They Fixed my combination meter (displays the mph) that was going blank/dark and causing the car not to shut-off. They replaced the bad capacitor that is the culprit on 2nd Gen Priuses. Did it within an hour and at a reasonable price. Hope it holds up. read more

This man is an a genius and an angel! I have a 2009 Nissan Altima Hybrid that wouldn't pass smog test due to battery warning light error. Nissan dealership told me I needed to replace the battery and gave me a $10,000 estimate(!!). Rosti not only used his personal discount to get me a "with warranty" replacement battery but also installed it same day (right before the holiday weekend!) for a FRACTION of that estimated cost. Professional, considerate and quick. I would 100% use his services again and I will be telling all my friends with hybrids to go to him! read more

Rasti is the HYBRID BATTERY Whisperer indeed! Priuses were lined up at the "not yet open" auto shop on a Sunday morning like an amusement park! I was a returned customer. Rasti was honoring his 6 month or 10,000 mile guarantee :-) Cars hurried in as he arrived and opened the gate. I love how he motioned for MY car to back into the coveted repair stall first! I felt like a PREFERRED client! Like the first time, in and out in less than a hour. RED TRIANGLE OF DEATH be gone!!! YEAH!!! If HBS was a ride at Disneyland, Rasti would be an "E" ticket!!! Remember those y'all? He has helpers too...fast and friendly...DANKE! read more

Great service and took care of my Prius within a couple of hours. Great value too. Will definitely come back again when I need help again with my battery needs. read more

My Toyota Prius C (2013) with 120,000 miles surprised me with Christmas lights on my dashboard meaning the engine had to go. Toyota treated me so poorly after getting all my maintenance and routine checks with them for the last 8 years. I am so thankful for the service Rasti provided me with. In addition to changing my engine he recently replaced my small starter battery. His pricing is so reasonable but best of all he understands hybrid models and Prius' in general. He explains everything so clearly and does his job so well. I look forward to using his services. read more

Mohammad Rasti was amazing! I'm from Southern California and currently in grad school in the Bay. Given my low budget, his business made it possible for me to get my Prius battery swapped out at an affordable price! He was very efficient and friendly. I was there for less than an hour and my car was back up and running! My car had the check engine light on along with triangle death and he was able to replace my battery and diagnose my car quickly. One thing I appreciate about his business is the fact he has a warranty with his fix 10,000 miles or 6 months whichever comes first. Very helpful when you drive an older Prius model. He also accepts venmo/cash which was another plus! Highly recommend him! Great guy! read more

Rosti is amazing... (battery whisperer) knowledgeable, generous and honest! I had a dead Prius battery and he gave me 2 choices, get a new battery and he would install fir free or refurbish my exciting one at a fraction of the price. I decided to refurbish due to my cars age and millage. The cells died again after a year and he drove from Oakland to the far side of Sacramento to help me out at almost no cost. Basically if your having any issues with your Hybride battery CALL Rasti !! I recommend him above and beyond read more

Rasti was awesome! He replaced my hybrid battery (with a refurbished one) and 12volt battery (new) in under 3 days for under $1000. ... This was over 2 years ago now, and my Prius is still working fabulously! read more

Saved me a bunch of $$$. My work vehicle had been diagnosed as needing the batteries replaced. I brought it to Rasti for that repair, but he rediagnosed the car as needing only a quick and easy repair to the fan. I didn't even know there was a(nother) fan back there with the Hybrid stuff. $60 later, we're back on the road and good to go. Great friendly service. read more

Rasti is so knowledgeable about hybrids and he goes above and beyond to help fix the things that break. He swapped out my original battery on my 2005 Prius (190K) with a reconditioned battery pack. He's like a one man pit crew operating with confidence and speed so he was done and had me on the road in well under an hour. While he was working on the hybrid battery swap to address the triangle of death indicator we also talked about the airbag light on the dash. Rasti helped me source parts and showed me what to do to restore everything to working condition. I hope I don't have any issues with this 20 year old car, but if I do, Rasti will be my first stop for diagnosis, repair, and advice read more

Rasti is the best! He's been a huge help with our 2006 Prius. He's very professional and will get you back on the road quickly.

My 2012 Honda hybrid display and door locking functions stopped working suddenly. I thought my hybrid battery had fried and would have to replace it entirely. I gave these guys a call and Rasti told me to bring it by. He found that it all came down to a blown fuse, and everything was back to working order in less than half an hr. He was able to save me a great amount of headache and expense due to his expertise. I highly recommend and appreciate their honesty and graciousness. read more

Be carful he is a scam artist!!! He will change your battery and take your old battery and the shitty battery that he will give you that will never lost you for 10 months , he supposed to change my cells but he take my brand new battery and give me a bad one , NEVER EVER GO BACK TO A THIEF read more

I am deciding whether to purchase a used Chevy Volt or not based on whether a replaced hybrid battery is available from some store outside the car manufacturers which will charge an arm and a leg. I called Hybrid Batter Solutions. Despite the fact that the gentleman I spoke with was on vacation, he took the time to answer my questions regarding availability of a hybrid battery. Buy buying a replacemt hybrid battery from a Chevy Volt with low mileage, I can save dollars. Also, he explained to me that although the warranty is 10 years/100,000 miles which ever comes first, the batteries can last longer than 100,000 miles. Hybrid Battery Solutions is the real deal. read more

Rasti delivers great and flexible service. I have brought both of my Prius's in for the dreaded red triangle of death and he was quick and professional. His price is the best of any that I see out there. His shop is a bit informal, but he is quick, professional, and is eager to explain the options and nuances of the battery. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone for battery issues! A+++++ experience! read more

Its hard to find some one the legitimately wants to help out .knowing how expensive dealerships are I figured I take a risk and do it my self so I contact HBS and when I 1st got the cells I thought fsir price but what made this small company worth millions to me was when I talked to rasti and he was so knowledgeable and gave me tips to fix my car he told me exactly what was wrong and how to fix it not only that he gave me very important information that ended me saving 1000s "Others not like me they look to make money.
