    old gaskets in the photo Sensors and thermostat
    Sergii K.

    I am very grateful to Salvador and his sons for helping me fix my old Lexus. There was a not very pleasant problem with the knock sensors and thermostat. Salvador agreed to help me and replaced the sensors and now my car drives as before. Thank you and your family Salvador!

    I've know Salvador for well over 10 years. He has always been a stand up guy, and NEVER have I EVER had issues with him. I met him when he used to work for another mechanic shop in Moreno Valley, and we hit it off since then. Fast forward to 10 years later.... I was living in Las Vegas, from Aug 2017 to April 2018, and when I was over there, my 2007 Chevy Suburban, decided to take a sh*t....the motor needed to be rebuilt. I took it to a local mechanic over there who "rebuilt" my motor, it took him over a month!! When I finally got my truck back, it started making this knocking sound, So I took it back to the "local mechanic" another 2 weeks and it was "fixed".... Fast forward to July 2018, my truck started knocking again....I called Salvador and asked him to please take a look at it....Turns out, the lifters in 6 and 8, had dried up and were making all the noise...he had to remove the motor, to replace them, So I told him to have at it... He called me 2 days later to inform me, THAT I HAD GOTTEN TAKEN FOR A RIDE!! All the parts in my motor, were factory OEM parts, the other mechanic had only "changed out the parts necessary" to essentially "band aid" the situation and make it seem like he had rebuilt my motor....I was PISSED!!! He asked me to stop by and take a look at the old parts he removed, and sure enough, they were all the original parts!!! I asked him to quote me on rebuilding her again, and his price was not far off, from what I had originally paid the other mechanic.....I told him to do it!! 2 weeks later, he calls and says that the truck is in completion stages, that he just needed to drive her around and I could pick her up today...I am soooo excited!! Finally get to drive my truck around without having to worry about it... Overall, he did a good job, time frame was adequate, price was competitive...I'm Happy!!

    DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY , DONT BRING YOUR CAR. He will not fix it. You'll just get your car worse than it came in. Unfortunately I have nothing good to say about this shop. Not only did I pay upfront I later was told my car wouldn't be ready that week. I had to wait 3 weeks for my car to be ready. I had to be the one to reach out to him and ask about the status of my car. It was rushed work and my car has now broke down again. Only drove my car for 3 days before it took a SHIT AGAIN. The communication with the owner is horrible and all I get are excuses when I do get through to him. DO NOT LET HIM SWEET TALK YOU LIKE HE DID ME. Update: I took my car back to him after it breaking down . Got my car yesterday around 3pm after bringing it back for the 2nd time and spending $2,550. Fuckin car breaks down at 8pm after just driving it for 10 mins. Right away I text the mechanic and he leaves me on read. Still hasn't called me back. Dude needs to change professions. He doesn't give a fuck about his customers. He's just good at sweet talking you and taking your money. Please don't come here, TRUST.

    What a great experience!!!! ---…read more ** 5.0** I wish I could give more than 5 stars on this review. Wholesale Tire and Automotive is the only shop I trust with my cars. Kenni, the owner, is amazing and always makes sure you're fully informed. Her mechanic Michael is incredibly sharp -- he diagnosed and fixed an issue on my daughter's BMW that a "name brand" shop had written off as unrepairable. It runs perfectly now. Based on that, I brought my Suburban in before a 6,000-mile road trip for my daughter's college move-in. Josiah and Kenni walked me through everything it needed, and the truck runs just like new. Fair prices, honest work, great people. Do yourself a favor and give them your business -- I won't take my cars anywhere else.

    2010 Jetta 2.5L (Oil and Coolant leak, yes we know these cars have their issues)…read more I paid $1,300 for oil and coolant leak repairs. While they did fix the oil leak from the brake vacuum pump (with customer provided part), the rest of the experience was a disaster of poor diagnostics and unauthorized billing. * Unresolved Coolant Leak: Charged to replace the coolant flange, but the car leaked coolant immediately after picking it up. Basically felt like I had to figure the problem out before bringing it back in, and/or I wasn't believed that the issue was still happening. I called back a few days later after coolant level had dropped, was told it was air pockets. Refilled and waited another week. Lost another quart+ of coolant. We park it in the dirt so I placed a tray under the vehicle and caught quite a bit of coolant with an observed active drip a day after the car had been resting (this was all communicated to Kenni with a picture). At this point she said I could bring it in, as I felt like the diagnostic was being pushed onto me to not waste their mechanics time. * Unauthorized Shifter Cable: Replaced a shifter cable during the leak repair completely without my consent or prior authorization. * Defective Recheck & Dismissive Attitude: When I brought the car back, they drove it hot instead of letting it sit cold to locate the drip, then claimed they couldn't find anything. Rather than taking responsibility, they acted like it was my fault for owning the car and made it clear they didn't want to invest any more shop hours into actually solving the problem. * Surprise Diagnostic Fee: Ran a $60 chemical block test without my permission, billed me for it, and still couldn't identify the leak. The owner is personable and gives off a "family-like, straight shooter" vibe at the counter, but that friendly helpful demeanor vanished once things got complicated and time consuming for the shop. The right thing to do would be to offer some kind of refund, but since that was not offered by default for not resolving the issue, I am going to assume this happens more often than not on certain repairs and is not worth my time to fight or challenge other than leaving a detailed review to warn others. Doing unauthorized work, shifting blame to the customer, and leaving a $1,300 bill with an active coolant leak makes it impossible to recommend this shop.

    I had such a great experience with King of Hybrid Auto Repair and I honestly can't recommend them…read moreenough. Their knowledge and attention to detail really stood out to me. In some ways, I feel like the quality of work was even better than what I've experienced at a Tesla service center. They fixed the AC blower motor on my 2017 Tesla Model S and it made a huge difference right away. Everything was done efficiently and professionally, and they kept me informed the entire time. I also really appreciated that they use OEM Tesla parts because it gave me peace of mind knowing the repair was done the right way. What I loved most was how transparent they are. They use a system that texts you updates and actually shows you the parts that need attention, so you can see exactly what's going on with your car. It made me feel comfortable and confident that they were being honest and not trying to get over on me. On top of that, they took the time to provide me with a maintenance plan so I can keep my car in the best shape possible. That meant a lot because it shows they really care about helping you take care of your vehicle long term. If you have a Tesla or hybrid, I definitely recommend going to King of Hybrid Auto Repair. They do quality work and really take care of their customers.

I needed…read morethe car fixed quickly, because otherwise I can't drive to work and relying on Uber is expensive. They fixed my hybrid battery quickly and even gave me a 2 yr warranty, in case it breaks down again. Furthermore, I came back for additional work, and they squeezed me into their schedule, and got the work done faster than expected. Thanks to them I'm planning to keep my car longer and save for a new car. Thank you king hybrid!
