    Desk service, Nancy from Toy Shop in Shingle Springs CA
    Darcy H.

    I carefully reviewed the yelp posts before deciding to contact this business. As a first time potential customer, I called. I was honest with my needs and where I was coming from. Stating we had never used their services, but had heard good things. Nancy answered, I gave all info needed. I thought I would receive a simple run down of their procedures and a possible basic estimate of review cost, as well as availability....as I requested. I explained, I have a home mechanic (yes, my talented husband ). I have the OEM with a code and loose diagnosis of the EVAP purge flow on my Toyota. I explained exactly what I was looking for. She responded with repetitive questions "so DO you want a diagnosis" she was curt and not kind in her customer service demeanor. I asked if that's where they needed to start or could they work with the info we provided from the data in our cars computer. I have worked customer service and relations for most of my life, and I would never respond to a potential new customer in this rude fashion. Her inability to communicate is a problem. Considering unprofessional air about her, deducing me to hear nothing but attitude. I was not receiving an actual estimate to have them review my car with my information intact. I know what symptoms and what the possible diagnosis would be. When she said, "So you just want me to do what you tell me to do." I knew she was unprincipled, I was receiving immature & inexperienced service. *Please note I NEVER leave bad reviews. But the bad taste of my experience of just calling in was lasting in my mouth. I even courteously apologized saying I must not have communicated properly, which I now regret making such a statement. She attempted to condescend by stating SHE must have misunderstood me. My suggestion is the next person calling in asking these simple requests. I would simply state what you DO offer Nancy. Verbal run around isn't a good look for a business. I consulted two other local, well known businesses, those mechanics told me they do NOT recommend The Toy Shop services. One told me specifically "I don't have time for non sense." Only after naming the business I had just called. Do yourself - favor and just go to who others DO recommend: Toy Tech in Placerville for experienced and professional work from a behind the desk personnel.

    Do you guys do head gasket repairs, if so can i get an estimate on a 2012 prius v?

    Chuck is the best mechanic I've known throughout the three-plus decades I've owned cars…read more Since '96 or so (not exactly sure), I've looked to Chuck to take care of nearly all of my vehicles, even though he markets his business as a 4wd specialty shop. Nearly every time I make a visit to 4Play, I not only see 4WDs in the queue but also a variety of classics, including hot rods (50s Chevy's, 60s Mustangs, etc.). For nearly a decade, Chuck took great care of my '66 Mustang Fastback; now, he's babying my '89 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, and I wouldn't take that classic vehicle anywhere else. About Chuck: he's an analytical guy (not at all unlike many of the software engineers that I work with in my high-tech job) who wants to understand the root of the problem - and not just what the problem is (vs. "symptoms") but also how it came to be a problem at all. He's really fantastic, and the only reason I haven't taken all of my vehicles to Chuck is due to the complexity with diagnosing issues with my later-model Volvos. It's just not feasible for Chuck pay for Volvo's software subscription when he rarely works on Volvo vehicles. Great guy, honest guy, gets to the root of the problem *and* what's causing the problem. 100% would refer him to others.

I've never actually bought a car here (and after seeing the prices, my wallet immediately filed a restraining order), because the markup on their vehicles is absolutely wild. Like... "is this car also coming with a small vacation home?" kind of wild. So yeah, that's the only reason they're not getting a full 5 stars. BUT... I always get my car serviced here, and they've been fantastic every time. I have a 2017 Honda Civic Si, and I've never once had an issue with their service department. Shoutout to Melissa, my service advisor, who is honestly amazing. Every visit is smooth, fast, and painless. I'm usually in and out quickly, which in car-dealership time is basically a miracle. Their mechanics actually know what they're doing too. I had this super annoying rear window leak that I couldn't figure out for the life of me. They tracked it down to a bad window seal and fixed it properly. No guesswork. No "let's see if this works." Just... fixed. The place feels professional, trustworthy, and well-run, which is exactly what you want when someone is poking around your car with expensive tools. So yeah: * Buying a car here: * Getting your Honda serviced here: If you own a Honda and want reliable, competent, and fast service, I'd absolutely recommend Shingle Springs Honda. Just... maybe don't look at the new car prices unless you're emotionally prepared.
