I brought my nearly new 2025 Toyota GR86 to Asian AutoTech of Ventura for a routine oil change. I…read moredid not report any suspension issues, unusual tire wear, noises, vibrations, or handling concerns. The car was driving perfectly fine, and I simply wanted basic maintenance performed. To my surprise, I left being told that my front struts were showing signs of leaking and that suspension repairs might be needed. Hearing that a nearly new vehicle may have suspension problems is concerning, especially when there were zero symptoms leading up to the visit. Wanting a second opinion, I took the car to a Toyota dealership for an inspection. After a full evaluation, the dealership found no leaking struts, no suspension defects, and no abnormalities requiring repair. That discrepancy raises an obvious question: how does a car go from allegedly needing suspension repairs at one shop to having a clean bill of health from a Toyota dealership? The GR86 is not your average commuter car, and its suspension setup is more specialized than what many general repair shops work with daily. In my case, the car is also not driven hard or abused. It's used normally, with no track use, no canyon driving habits, and no aggressive treatment that would reasonably point toward premature suspension wear. It's also worth noting that summer performance tires naturally wear faster than standard all-season tires, and can sometimes show uneven wear patterns due to the factory negative camber built into the suspension geometry. That alone is not necessarily an indicator of a mechanical issue. While I can't say exactly what led to the diagnosis, the experience left me questioning whether there was enough familiarity with this platform to accurately distinguish normal characteristics from actual mechanical issues. I understand that mistakes can happen in any shop. However, when a routine oil change turns into warnings of major repairs, especially on a nearly new vehicle that another inspection cannot confirm, it's hard to feel confident in the accuracy of those findings. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend getting a second opinion before authorizing expensive repairs. What should have been a simple oil change instead created unnecessary stress, wasted time, and a loss of trust in the inspection process.

Thank goodness for honest, local mechanics!…read more I had been calling around to different mechanics to find out which auto shop works with hybrid cars (I have a Toyota Prius). I eventually was directed to Mario's Garage and I'm so happy I found this place. As a woman, I'm always on high alert with mechanics taking advantage of me assuming I don't know anything about cars (tbh I don't lol). At Mario's Garage they were honest with me, charged me very reasonable prices, and were very understanding of any financial restraints I had. They spent extra time explaining to me what was going on with my car because I was honest about how little I know about cars. I walked out of there feeling like I could be a mechanic with all the knowledge they dropped on me...lol jk... but seriously I trust them wholeheartedly! Much love to Mario's Garage!!!

The car sat at the shop for nearly two months, and we were charged what felt like an extremely overpriced amount for the work. What's even more frustrating is that only a few months after getting the car back, it broke down again and completely stopped working. We trusted the shop's diagnosis and paid a lot of money, only to end up with a vehicle that didn't last.The whole experience was disappointing, expensive, and left us feeling like we were taken advantage of. I would suggest getting a second opinion before agreeing to any major repairs here. POS people

The guy had an attitude every time I talked to him and made it seem like I was bothering him just by asking questions.

I felt like I got overcharged and treated poorly the whole time. I definitely wouldn't recommend this shop to anyone.
