I love these guys!…read more If I had come here for the past few years instead of going to Lentz, I could have saved thousands, and I do mean thousands of dollars. They've been able to figure out issues other mechanics could not diagnose (or things the other mechanics got wrong/screwed up), and instead of cringing when I hear the price, I think, "Oh, that's not so bad." The owner and mechanics are friendly. I was sitting in the lobby, waiting for a ride, and everyone who passed through asked if I'd been helped, if I had a ride coming, etc. It was pouring rain the last time I waited for my ride, and even though they were closing, they offered to let me stick around in the lobby until my ride came. They're such gentlemen.

They take the time to explain things clearly and never try to upsell unnecessary work. The pricing is very fair, and the quality of service is outstanding. Highly recommend!

I recently needed some new ball joint bolts for my 1998 4Runner. Before contacting ToyoTechs , I…read morefirst tried getting the bolts through the local dealership. I tried filling out a customer support form with them online and then also filled out a parts request form complete with part number. They never got back to me in any way. But then I found ToyoTechs and everything changed. I filled out a service request form on their website in the evening and was contacted immediately the next morning via voicemail and email. Long story short. Blane at the front desk hooked me up with my bolts for a great price and also in record time. He even called their parts distributor to make sure I would receive them before the weekend, which I did. It really showed me how much these guys care about their customers because they went above and beyond for such a small sale . If you ever need help with your Toyota in Kalamazoo , look no further than ToyoTechs! I will definitely return if I need help in the future.

I've known the owner, Bob Cannon, for over 43 years now (as of 2021). We were kids when we first…read moremet. I was nine years old back then and he was eight years old I think (that was way back in 1978). We were neighbors for over 15 years. I don't let anyone else work on my car except Lowder's because I know and trust the owner, Bob, and I know that he will ALWAYS do right by me. He hasn't ever tried to pull a fast one on me (or any of my family or friends) like other mechanics do; he does what's actually needed or what I've asked to be done (IF it's legal of course but NOT if it's something illegal like putting a muffler on a vehicle that doesn't have a catalytic converter on it (or other stuff like that), because that's quite illegal!). He does the right thing, he always has that I know of and I've never heard anyone taking bad about him, EVER --- not even in high school. He's just and simply a great and honest man; and you can trust him. Oh! He WON'T give you some triple the price estimate and try to rip you off either, he's not like that at all. I refer people to go to him at Lowder's Automotive every single time someone is talking about having vehicle problems or the need of a good honest mechanic. He runs the office and front counter now and doesn't get under the cars anymore because he has some great people working for him there. He WON'T put up with a dishonest mechanic working in his shop either. I fully know that he would give them the boot too if they ever tried something like that! They work on lots of types of vehicles there and they're certified & licensed. And you can see the legal certifications and licenses posted there if you'd like to. He is an awesome person to know too. Talk with him awhile if you're wanting to know more about him and his business, I'm sure that he will fill you in on anything that you will need to know. He's been working on cars since we were kids. Oh, and BTW, he is still about Mopar too. Js. I'm a Chevy man myself but I don't hold the fact that he's into Mopar against him. LoL! So if you're into Dodge vehicles, especially big trucks, just bring that up and you're sure to have a nice conversation with him. Tell him that you read this on Yelp and that his old friend and neighbor Todd sent you. I hope that this helps your in your decision making. You simply can't go wrong with Lowder's at your service.

But I don't regret the entirely selfish hope that the owner - who is getting on in years - lives and works 'til he is 150 so we don't ever have to look for a new repair shop.
