Took my 2001 Toyota Avalon to Keith and Jody since 2006 when I used to work in the area. I always got excellent service and others have said here no up selling; no BS! You can expect honest opinions about what needs to be done now and what can be deferred. Sadly, I no longer work in the area so I won't be going here anymore, but I wanted to give Toyo-Tech the five stars they earned as way of thanking them for the years of stress free service. read more

I came here 4 years ago after reading Yelp reviews. Couldn't believe how great they really are. Walking in you are treated like a friend, but low and behold it's not to upsell you! In fact, the first two times I went in after having work recommended elsewhere they thoroughly checked the car out and let me know the work didn't need to happen. My Toyota Prius and my wife's Honda won't go anywhere else. Refreshing to have a friendly, trustworthy, fun, and competent car wizard. Plus, I learned today they have the arcade version of Galaga in the waiting area . read more

I'm impressed - these guys know their stuff. They were quick to diagnose the concern on my 1995 Toyota Supra and they quote factory parts instead of aftermarket products of questionable reliability. Jody and Aza knew my car better than the 2 Toyota dealers I had been to in the last 3 months. Their pricing was fair - I'll go back and I would recommend them to a friend without reservation. read more

I brought my 2001 Toyota Highlander in for a misfire I could not pinpoint for months. After putting $500+ into the car elsewhere I brought it in to Toyo Tech and Andre and his team immediately helped solve my problem. Everything from customer service over the phone to paying for a job well done was a pleasure. I will definitely reccomend to others and will be back in again soon for my brakes! read more

I felt that I should write another review since there is a new owner. I have been going to Toyo-Tech for the pass 10 years. In those 10 years I have been lucky that most of our cars are Toyota's that why there are never any problems except for the regular wear and tear and milestone repairs as needed. This place has not skipped a beat since the departure of Kieth the long time owner. Jody has been around this business and has always been the back bone of this place since I have been there. I recently had an issue with our 2000 Landcrusier as I arrived around a hour before closing the bay was full. I was told that the car would be ready by tomorrow I was in no hurry to get the car back the next day due to their load of repairs on other cars. I was not disapointed and was called the next afternoon that it was ready. Now that to me is excellent customer service. read more

My check engine light went on after some rodents chewed up part of the wire harness in my engine bay. The dealer wanted to replace the whole thing $3000 or charge $800 bucks to repair it. Without telling him the dealer quote, Jody said he would remove the intake to inspect for further damage, and repair the wires for half the price. We didn't get into the details beforehand, but when I inspected the work, I was glad to see that he had tried to wrap them up as well as possible to prevent any future damage. I'm glad to have found a good shop close by my house. read more

I've been coming to this shop the last 4 years and have nothing but good compliments to say. Keith and Jody runs a honest and clean car shop that specializes in Toyota (Lexus) and Honda (Acura). Their pricing is competitive and quality of work is top notch. They will take the time to explain to you what you need to fix and what things can wait. read more

The service here is GREAT and the people are honest. Took my truck here because of all the good reviews and i wasn't disappointed at all. If you take your vehicle in for something, they check it out and tell whether its necessary or not. Other places (the dealership in particular) try to rip you off for every penny you have. The prices are very reasonable too. Oh yeah they also use toyota certified parts so that's a plus. If you own a toyota you're gonna want to get it serviced here! read more

They are seriously the most amazing mechanic shop I have ever been to. Extremely honest and always trying to help you get the best deal for your car. If you drive Toyota, do not even think about taking your car anywhere else. read more

Toyo-Tech is by far one of the best Toyota service shops around - I have been going there for more than 20 years - super honest and not once in all those years has Jodi or the previous owner suggested that anything be done that was not necessary and most of the time he tells me I don't need anything except an oil change - I find it hard to believe the negative review that has been written about Jodi / Toyo-Tech read more

These guys are unbelievably great at what they do, but most importantly, they're honest. I've had a lot of work done on my Odyssey here. These guys will not rip you off, in fact, quite the opposite ... If you're car doesn't need service, they'll tell you exactly that. They'll even tell you if the problem is not worth fixing e.g. I had my head gasket replaced on my Odyssey here, and they talked to me extensively about the cost of doing the work versus the number of miles on the vehicle and whether or not it may be better to just buy a new car. I ended up getting the work done and they've kept my odyssey on the road with 270,000 plus miles for years now. You can't go wrong with these guys, they're a good bunch of people. Talk to Jody, he'll take care of you. read more

My husband had taken his older Land Cruisers here and said great things about this place but I always feel like a repair shop is a repair shop - not much difference between them and they all try to screw you. So when our minivan was due for service we decided to take it here (instead of Manhattan Beach Toyota who has screwed us over & over). I had such a positive experience here that I can't wait to bring in a car for its' next service. These guys tell you what you need, what can be held off on for a while and what you don't need. Honest guys, fair pricing and little chocolate mint cookie things in the reception area that my little punks loved. :-) Love it! read more

Great, honest service. Prioritized what needed to be taken care of and they also gave suggestions for credible body shop repairs to fix some dents in my truck. read more

Jodi and his team at Toyo Tech rock our world. We found them through a referral from friends and have had nothing but positive experiences for several years. He's helped us with everything from routine maintenance, to major repairs. He is honest about when we do, and don't need to make repairs, or whether the cost is worth the benefit when working on our older cars. He has gone the extra mile more than once to help us with repairs, or referrals to specialists when needed. We wouldn't go Anywhere else! read more

I've been servicing my Twin Turbo Supra (bought new) to Keith and Jody since 1997. I get a fair price, complete honesty and I appreciate their prioritized recommendations for future services (items to be addressed soon or to keep an eye on as the miles pass). For 8 years I worked in Culver City across the street from a Toyota Service and Dealership and because of the convenience, I trusted my Supra to them a few times. There always seemed to be scare-tatics and phone calls in the middle of the day advising me to fix new items found or the car would explode off the face of the planet. The one certain thing was that the bill always total in the thousand$. I always felt screwed-over at this dealership and I got sick of it real fast (Similar to the Mercedes Dealership I took my other car too. Eventually found a good German Mechanic). I still drive my Supra. It's been a fabulous sports car all these years and Toyo-Tech has been a fabulous Pit Stop. Thanks Keith and Jody You guys get my highest recommendation! read more

My 98 Toyota broke down on the 405. The tow truck took it to Toyo-Tech. I was very pleased with their work and with their explanation of the condition of the car, things that needed to be done, things that could be put off until sometime in the future. They seemed very knowledgible. Now it's a couple years later, there are more things to do on the car, and I plan to take it to Toyo-Tech, even though I live in Orange County, because I had a good experience with them. read more

We've been using Toyotech for 27 years. When I say "we", I mean myself, my wife, and later on my mother, father, her mother and father and later still friends of the family, etc. Put it this way--our first consideration when buying a car is, do these guys work on it? If not, we pass. That's how good they are and I'm not surprised in the slightest that they are receiving such excellent reviews. I'm happy to add one more. read more

Wouldn't trust my car with anyone else! I always feel confident that my car will be taken care of and in good working order. Work is always done in a timely manner and always at a fair price. Thought all was lost after the latest mishap with my car but once again they saved me and my car! Can't thank them enough. read more

Jody the new owner has a nasty attitude. He used to work there and took over from Keith. As owner he's not any nicer than he was as a worker. He seems better towards men. His prices are the same as the dealer. Recently a mechanic friend said I needed a small $20 part replaced. Jody said it was a big important part and charged me almost $500. I think a lot of these reviews are fake done by the owners, friends and family. I will never go there again and have told my friends and family to avoid them. read more

Jody runs the kind of car repair shop people dream of but rarely find. He is reliable and honest, provides top quality mechanical service, goes the distance to get the job done as quickly as possible, and his fees are exceptionally reasonable. Each time I have needed to take my car in, he makes me feel as if I am the only customer in the shop and my needs are his top priority. I wouldn't think of going anywhere else! read more

Jody and his team have been taking care of my 2002 Sienna, 2007 Prius, and most recently my 2006 Scion. He does a thorough and great job every time and on only the necessary work that is needed. read more

Not only is this the ONLY place I'd take my car for non-warranty work, but it's so good that, when it was time for me to buy a new car, I knew my choices were Toyota and Honda, because those are the only makes they service. I've been going to Toyo-Tech for years. The service is wonderful (if you make an appointment to bring in your car, they start working on it THEN, as opposed to the dealers' line that "Oh, an appointment only means we'll get to it today") and the people are friendly and helpful and patient and take great pride in their work, but the MAIN thing that keeps me coming back is the honesty of this place. They don't do anything your car doesn't need. The closest they come is to say "You might want to get this fixed [or checked again] in another 5,000 miles or so." Toyo-Tech is the only place in town - probably in the world - where I'd just leave my keys and say "whatever you find that needs fixing, fix it." How many other places can you trust that much? read more

I have worked in the auto industry for the past seven years. I will only take my car to Keith and Jody. By far the finest mechanic and business operation I have come across. Honesty and timeliness. It saves me stress and dollars. I come across other fans of Toyo Tech all over the South Bay and they come with my higest recommendation. read more

It's been almost 6 years since I last reviewed Toyo-Tech so an update seems in order. I have been taking my cars to Toyo-Tech for about 11 years now and little has changed with respect to quality of service and honesty of the establishment. Keith has retired and Jody now runs the business. Jody possesses the same integrity and trustworthiness as Keith did and runs the business with these same virtues. As most reviewers have pointed out, Jody is extremely honest which is very refreshing and placating for a mechanic's shop. It's nice not to have to question and argue with your mechanic regarding what services are required for your car. With previous mechanics I would always have to take my car home and inspect it myself before agreeing to major services. Often I found the recommended work unnecessary. With Jody, I don't even bother asking for details and simply instruct him to repair or service anything he deems necessary. I recall an incident with Jody about 7 years ago when I brought my 18 year old Toyota Tercel in because it grossly failed its smog test. The car had over 200,000 miles on it and basically had no Blue Book value since it was in poor condition. Refurbishing it to fair condition would have fetched about $400, but would have probably cost $500. Regardless, I was willing to pour money into the car for sentimental and irrational reasons. However, Jody inspected the car and basically refused to work on it and told me to scrap it. Rather than take advantage of my irrational thought process and take my money, he told me to forget about it and directed me towards the California Voluntary Gross Polluters retirement program for cars which fetched me $1000 for a worthless car. read more

This is the only place to take a Honda or Toyota in the South Bay area. I've been taking my '95 Camry and '01 Odessy there for many years. After getting ripped off at the Dealer, the guys at Toyo-tech are so honest it's incredible. They will tell you what you need to service and what is not really necessary or can wait and their prices are very reasonable. They courteous and punctual, what else could you want? I just hope they stay open for open so they can service my next car which will be a Toyota or Honda because of them. read more

I wish I could give these guys a rating for 10 stars. I have heard this crunching sound in the floor of my Toyota Highlander for several months. I brought my Highlander in to Toyo Tech and they searched all under the car and could not find where the sounds were coming from but did detect a repair needed on the other side of the car which needed fixing. I still heard this annoying noise and brought it into the Toyota Dealership in MB. They said it was the brakes and gave me some song and dance. As I was driving off the lot, I STILL heard the noise ! My husband thought the noise was coming from under my seat so I brought the car back to Toyo Tech because the dealership wanted to charge me $200 to just take the car apart and HOPE to find the problem (??!) Jody , who owns Toyo tech, personally took care of my car. Dis assembled the driver car seat, and discovererd there were items that slid down into the vents under the seat which were making all that noise. His price was very reasonalble and FINALLY, my car is fixed ! no more noise ! I highly recommend anyone who wants an honest old school auto body repair man to trust and take care of your car ! Thanks Toyo Tech! read more

I'm really grateful for the service I received. Jodi is a quality individual. Toyo-tech has my full recommendation. You will get the care you need. Thank you! read more

I was having a bit problem with my 05 4 runner and Jodi went for test drive and able to pin point the problem. He didnt even charge a penny. I will definately bring my car here for repair in the future. Thanks read more

Jody at Toyo-Tech is the best! Would HIGHLY recommend to everyone ... will definitely be returning for work in the future! Nice to have an honest mechanic in the area. Thank you Jody and your great team! read more

I have been going to Toyo-Tech for over 20 years. Jodi has been there the entire time, and took over some years back. They are honest and reasonably priced. This place is great! read more

Jodies the best mechanic in the south bay. Ive been coming here for over 20 years. 2 toyota trucks and 2 subarus have taken care of by Jodie. Always professional and reasonable in his prices. REALLY honest dude. If you own a Japanese car, you really need to come here read more

I went to the Toyota Tech , because my car's engine light got on. Jody the owner and manger checked my care and said : you have to replace the Radiator. he charged me 580$ to replace radiator and said you are fine . After, 2 weeks I realized the Engine light got on again. I went to him and told him I have the same problem that you already charged me to fix it. for 580$ . He said there is a new problem in your care and you have to change the Catalyst converter which cost 3000$.Then I realized , he is not honest and there is something wrong going on. I went to 4 more mechanic shops and pep boys and they said: your light engine has nothing to do with your radiator. They were shocked why he replaced my radiator.!!! Also, another mechanic shop wanted to replace the catalytic converter for only 600$. in conclusion, this shop cheated me and took advantage of me because I am a woman and not familiar with cars and it's mechanism. he is cheater, and lire and charged me 580 for nothing. He also had a horrible attitude and very disrespectful. . I reported every thing to the bar. he is very dishonest. read more

best place ever...totally trustworthy and reliable. my whole family of 8 cars continues to go for service... jody the owner is the best too!
