    Now they're pretending I'm not one of their customers so I'm posting this receipt picture right here.

    Imagine a car mechanic charging you for replacing your alternator, then let you drove home pretending everything is fixed, then you found out not only nothing is fixed, the remote car key stopped working, then when you go back , the mechanic says oh it's not the alternator, it's the computer that needs to be replaced. Tell me this is not total incompetence if not a scam?

    We had a positive experience about 18 months again at Passion Auto, so when we had an issue with our Civic we brought it here. What an expensive and costly experience for us this time around! We showed Matt videos of the issue we were having with the car. If you drove it an hour or so, it would not restart once you turned it off. This led to being stranded at a gas station twice in a week. Paid $75 for a diagnostic check and was told we needed a new starter and a valve gasket cover. This cost us around $850. Well, the same exact problem happened on the same day after picking up the vehicle back up. So of course we brought it back. Then Matt says he believes it's a heat sensor. He believes he is 85% sure. He originally quotes us $228 more for that. After a back and forth , Matt knocks it down to $170. We agree to this because we don't want to start over with another mechanic. The same exact problem happens yet again. His solution is to then tell us to take it to the dealership. Wow. YOU are the mechanic and I am out over $1k and the car is doing the exact same thing it was doing the day before I brought it to Passion Auto. This is a civic with barely 50k miles on it. I feel very confident we didn't need a new starter at the very least. He insists it was covered in oil but no pics or videos or even just showing us. This guy took our $1k, didn't fix the problem at all and recommended we take it to a dealer after 3 trips to his shop in a week. That is unbelievable to me. Well, we did take it to the dealership and turns out it was the fuel pump. It was the fuel pump, Matt. That's all. Apparently the $75 diagnostic we paid for wasn't able to pick up the fuel pump as being the culprit. What diagnostic check can't pick up a vital issue with the fuel pump?? The car is now running like a champ but we are still $1 k lighter for repairs and parts we didn't need and clearly didn't fix the issue. I would not recommend this place at all anymore. I've never had a mechanic tell me to take it to another mechanic after taking my money before. At least the dealership knew how to fix the issue, and the car is running fine now. Good luck with this place. If they can't figure it out, they will just tell you to go to someone who can. Awesome. 1 star.

    Do I have to make a time reservation?

    You should always. How else would you know if the people/persons will be there when you arrive. Otherwise, it's probably going to be a wasted trip.

    How much does a smog check cost?

    We will scan your vehicle for free to ensure is it ready for smog, unfortunately we do not offer SMOG check or renewals at this location.

Instead of checking the connectors first, they jumped straight into a calibration. After a long wait they said they couldn't finish because something else was wrong under the seat and wanted another $188 just to take the seat out and diagnose. I took the van back, found a second plug that wasn't fully connected, plugged it in, and the airbag light went off. No calibration needed. While they were hooked up they started a calibration they didn't finish, which turned on the VSC and TRAC lights that were not on when I arrived. I called to have those cleared since they created them. The owner interrupted me, yelled, put his hands in my face, and told me not to come back after it was fixed. Either they missed a simple unplugged connector or they were trying to sell a $188 diagnosis for a plug. Terrible communication and worse attitude. I fixed the original problem myself in minutes after they spent hours and still wanted more money.

    This place preys on women and almost anybody that's gullible with a wallet…read more I brought my car here several months ago for an oil change and they told me I needed a new plug gasket for my engine-- to the tune of $900. So what did I do? I paid it and had it done (as a responsible car-owner). My fiance came in for an oil change-- and you'd never guess-- HIS car also needed a new plug gasket for $900. He declined. Neither of these experiences were enough for me to post this review-- but last week the AC went out in my car. I found a reliable auto company to give me an estimate to repair. Turns out I needed a new compressor-- the other company's estimate was $1499. I brought my car here for the second opinion. I called before coming and they told me they would give me an estimate free of charge-- mind you it also says on the front door they offer free AC Inspections and free estimates. They raised my car and spent about 10-15 minutes checking it out and then dropped the hammer. The compressor was shot (same diagnosis as the 1st company) which was what I was expecting. The cost to repair?? $4200!! I told them that was way too much and they explained this was the OEM price and they needed to use OEM to give the best repair. When they saw me ready to walk, they offered the repair with non OEM parts and that would be $2000. Still being 25% more than the other quote I opted to not have the service done there. They worked up my paper estimate and told me my balance was $89.99. Like wtf? I told them I was told the diagnostic would be free-- and it's literally advertised on their front door as free. Needless to say, they waived the fee, and I had my compressor completed by the other guys for $1499. Lesson learned.

New Location located right of…read moreModern Designs & More LLC/Floor Showroom off of Twain Ave (kind of behind Green Valley Grocery). They pick up their phones/text through phone. Our go to mechanic for everything from usual oil change, to complicated old issues where most mechanic will guess their work. At Tyler Express, they know what they are doing. And if they have to figure it out, I fully trust them in not trying to rip me off; they will explain what they feel they can control. We've been going since 2024; they moved location to 3915 W Twain Ave. I kept forgetting to create this review. - In the past, an oil change, oil filter would be like 15-20min for $30ish cash/zelle. - This visit we brought our own oil, oil filter, filters (cabin/engine), fuel system cleaner; and pay for labor. All of this + whole car quick check is 45min-1hr from $70. We already have our own oil due to needed to refill the Prius every so often. Otherwise, I don't think its an issue to just use their supplies? Waiting room is clean with comfortable new couches, coffee Keurig cup machine, etc. It has ac. You'll have to walk through the left door office, and it's in the back area of it. With this new location, you're like 6min walk away from many great places -- - Plaza with Golden Tiki (bars and food), - 99 Ranch Market and plaza, - Rio Casino Hotel, and - Take It Easy Roasters to morning/afternoon wifi/study/work on laptop from 8am-4pm (9min/0.4 miles stroll away) - Pop Café to afternoon/evening wifi/study/work on laptop from 2pm-10pm M-Sat (13min/0.6 miles stroll away). Google Maps makes this place pretty difficult to find. DIRECTIONS: 1. Google to Green Valley Grocery, then 2. drive to the right of it where Modern Designs & More LLC/Floor Showroom is. 3. Tyler Auto is connected to, and located as the right side attached building opening. Payment, they need a full name attached for the bill. QR code scan and pay via zelle. ------------------ Old LOCATION Draft review I forgot to post: Kenny is SUPER DUPER knowledgeable about old Prius!! And cars in general!! My Prius tour 2008 has gone through so many random issues over the years. Reddit to youtube can offer a lot of different solutions too for these scenarios. You'll learn a lot of tips and more about your car.... Opening trunk hatchback from the inside of the car, make the dashboard screen appear when needed again, etc.. Towing: - We called Tyler Auto and they were willing to take us in. They took in our car from being towed for simple stupid mistake by us (no gas, we have a dashboard blank out issue/typical issue for old Prius in hot climate places). - Towed our car in. Apparently a lot of cars get towed here. Alot of the Vietnamese restaurant owners bring their car there which is a good sign to us. - Tow person's tip: Police tow will cost around $500 where cops also get a cut from it. Don't take a Police tow unless you have to. Cash or Zelle is best. They have QR code to pay.
