John was efficient and did great work replacing my hybrid battery to keep my Lexus running smooth! Thank you!

John is running one of those businesses you wish other auto services should learn from. I have a 2017 Prius and took it to Toyota for a check up. Toyota wanted $400+ to clean the fan and change the air filter for the big battery!?! John quoted me $120. First positive is that he showed up on time. Second, he vacuumed the filter, showed me the fan is clean, and put it all back as a courtesy, no charge! Third, he gave me some advice on another issue I was having with mice in the car. I'll be calling Swell Hybrid the next time my Prius needs service. Thank you John! read more

Worked with John @ Swell Hybrids for a hybrid battery replacement on a 2012 Prius V. Super responsive, high quality work, and a tremendous value. Swell Hybrids offers mobile service which is another huge advantage. Highly recommend and look forward to working with Swell Hybrids again. Give them a call, you will be happy you did. read more

My 2010 Prius has 262k miles on her. The original hybrid battery was replaced 26k miles ago by another company using the 'refurbished' battery. When it failed after 16 months I found John. For a few hundred bucks more I got markedly better customer service, more knowledge and way better personality, a new fuel pump, and a brand new hybrid battery with full 3 year warranty. My only regret is not finding John initially. You will not be disappointed with Swell Hybrids, I promise. read more

John is the best! He revived my dead Lexus HS250 as soon as he was able to. A fried inverter was needed to be replaced. John found one and swapped it in as soon as he received it. He communicated with ETA's often so I was always aware of the time frame. Thanks John!!! read more

I agree with all the 5 star reviews. I found a new go-to business for my Prius. Swell Hybrids (John) fixed my 2nd gen Prius (250k miles, error code p0a93 - inverter power pump). Other highlights: Mobile service. Good communication. Useful maintenance information about my car. I highly recommend Prius owners bookmark this business. read more

John is very professional, showed up on time and was very responsive from the very beginning. He came to change the inverter coolant pump. He still checked to make sure it was the only code and he was done within the hour. Will definitely recommend him and will be contacting him again for any future work. read more

I found John by chance when my prius broke down on the highway at the start of a long weekend. he came on a sunday to run diagnostics and had it all fixed by tuesday morning. super helpful and explains everything and serviced my car in the driveway. read more

Wow - super impressed with John's work. Fair price. Very quick service. Good communication. I'll be calling John for all my Prius electrical issues from now on. My combination meter was on the fritz - blank speedometer & odometer, car wouldn't turn-off, back-up cam now working, etc. It's a common issue with older Priuses. It's a tough DIY fix, since you need to remove the entire dash and solder a new capacitor on a circuit board. Most auto repair shops would charge $1k+ and probably break your vents or dash in the process. John charged $375, came to my house, and finished in less than one hour. No broken vents or damaged dash either. My Prius is working great now. Thank you John! read more

I am very satisfied with the service I received by John. My Prius hybrid battery fan was clogged which triggered the message "cooling performance of the hybrid battery is low consult a dealer". I contacted John and agreed on the appointment time. He came even before the agreed time, did the job quickly and perfectly and his fees was reasonable. Thank you very much John. You will be the first I'll check with in case I have any issues with my hybrid car. read more

John was great. He answered all my questions when I was shopping around. He came to my house and replaced the battery on my Camry and got it back to running again. Highly recommend his services! Plus his prices for a NEW battery is very reasonable compared to the rest. read more

I have a 2013 prius and I've been very happy with it. However, It started having some strange noises and i noticed the check engine light go on. Well like most, I hate going to a dealership or a repair shop, because I get gauged all the time. I didn't have time to take the car in anyway but I noticed that Swell Hybrids will come to me to diagnose and repair. It was a real relief not to have to find a ride or miss work to deliver my prius. Totally reasonable, John told me what was probably wrong and told me what the costs were. I would highly recommend this service to busy prius owners. Gamechanger! read more

Driving to work and all of a sudden the,ABS, Brake, and slippery warning lights came up. Next to my work is a mechanic shop they ran a test and said you need new Rotors and pad (cost me about $500.) was fine going home BUT next day half way to work same warning lights showed to it the mechanic could not fix he called the dealer and said they will charge $180 to run a diagnosis and it may end uo costing up to $3,500. ,,,, I took it to Toyota of Orange, there they said we will run a diagnosis test and thats $180. and will let u know it can end up costing up to $4,000. they called me 3 hours later and said we can do a bleeding of the brakes and see if it resolves the issue and that would cost $599. BUT after that they said issue not resolved and it will cost $4,000. I said forget about it for now and he said you should be ok for a while. THEN I got to Yelp and did a search and saw John's announce (Swell Hybrids) talked to him knew precisely what my problem was and told me $1,300. and if I help him in the bleeding part he ll do it for $1,200. and he can do it Sunday (that saturday I worked) . He ordered the part called Friday confirmed and Sunday he fixed it perfectly, Its been about 10 days now and I have not had any problems. He also changed Tranmission fluid,filter and ,,,, (separately. I absolutely RECOMMEND John. read more
