Try to keep this from getting TLDR. I guess the short story is this place did great work…read more I bought a used car years ago, it had a "performance" muffler on it. After putting up with the loud exhaust for a couple years, I was done. I went to a place that was closer to me at the time, and they put a stock muffler on it. Still had a little rumble, but told not much to do about it. Job well done, or so I thought. Few years later, I start noticing a rattle on startup. It's not bad, it goes away after warm up. I carry on. Few months ago, it gets worse, still goes away, but I think I might have a transmission issue. Friend of mine I'm telling about it said he had the same thing once and he had a broken bracket on his exhaust system. I get under and see this mess. Cracked welds, pipe separated from the muffler. Also, they didn't install a mounting support above the pipe, probably one of the reasons it broke. Well, not going back to that place. I did a little research, and Big Johns looked like the best place. Little out of my way, but I wanted to make sure this time things went better. I believe John was there when I arrived, and had another guy who worked with him. I mentioned the whole problem, plus said it was still a little loud. He suggested a slightly bigger muffler, plus he installed a bracket support where the other place hadn't, and also redid the other two supports that were in place. The new supports were obviously more heavy duty. It did the trick. Also, I noticed my car was running better and a couple of issues had gone away. Car is now running like it did before all this started, and it's the quietest it's ever been. Charged me $200 and it was well worth it. At this point, I'm pretty happy. Be aware that when I was there, they only work on one car at a time. I don't know if he utilizes the other garage bay, but they work fast. It took maybe 30 minutes or so to do the job.

I had a unique issue with a function on my Lexus and wasn't sure where to turn for honest help…read morebefore heading out of town. I figured an auto body shop might have the expertise since they regularly work on putting cars back together. After a quick Google search, I came across Tran's Auto Body and decided to give them a call. The owner answered, listened to my situation, and immediately suggested I stop by and ask for Brian, saying he'd help if he could. Wanting to avoid the hassle of a dealership, I took his advice and went in. Brian turned out to be incredibly kind and helpful. He took the time to look over the car right away, then suggested we go for a quick drive so he could better understand the issue. He even hooked up a diagnostic tool and quickly resolved the problem--all with a friendly attitude. The cost was very reasonable, and the overall experience was outstanding. It's a well-run, professional shop with genuinely nice people. They'll definitely be my go-to if I ever need help again. Five stars, easily!

Brought my 2010 FJ Cruiser in and they went well beyond just the work order. They got the truck dialed in, road-ready, and then took the time to walk me through exactly what to keep an eye on going forward to keep it running smooth for the long haul. That kind of follow-through is rare. Most shops just hand you the keys and an invoice. What sets them apart: * Honest communication: no upselling, no scare tactics, just straight answers * Genuine expertise: they know the FJ platform inside and out * Care that shows: they treat the truck like it's their own * Family-owned values: you feel it the moment you walk in If you own a Toyota, especially something like an FJ Cruiser, 4Runner, or Tacoma, stop shopping around. This is the shop. Nellie, Jose, and Jesus have earned my trust and my business for as long as I own this truck. They're the only ones touching it from here on out. Thank you for the outstanding work and for treating customers the way every shop should.

Had disagreement with owner about using Toyota Parts only for front end and brake repairs when I…read moretold him up front that is what I wanted. Went to Freeman Toyota and they thought front end could easily last 50K miles more and they did brakes cheaper than LxToy quoted with all same Toyota parts and even with $250 hr labor including 4 discs.

Rubber on front end was deteriating due to age but not bad yet.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this one is well deserved…read more I decided to save some money and try a DIY paint job on my blue F-150. Let's just say it turned out much worse than when I started. The paint looked dull, cloudy, and nothing like I had hoped. After realizing I was in over my head, I reached out to Frank on Facebook just to get a few estimates. Within minutes, Frank called me, asked about the truck, and even came to my house to look at it in person. He took the time to explain exactly what went wrong, what it would take to fix it, and what I could realistically expect. He never tried to oversell me or pressure me. His honesty, professionalism, and genuine customer service are what earned my business that same day. What impressed me even more was that once he started repairing my DIY mistake, he discovered it required more work than he originally expected. Even so, he honored the original quote without hesitation. That kind of integrity is hard to find these days. I got my truck back the very same day, and I honestly couldn't be happier. The blue paint is a perfect match, the finish is deep and glossy, and you can't tell where the repair ends and the original paint begins. It looks factory new. If you're considering having paint or body work done, do yourself a favor and call Frank first. I learned the hard way that sometimes DIY ends up costing more in the long run, but thankfully I found someone who truly cares about doing the job right. I highly recommend him and won't hesitate to use him again.
