LTS Motors

First time bringing my Avalon for a transmission flush. They were right in time, super courteous, great waiting area with wifi and they tightened up a lose belt and did not charge extra like many places might have! Will be bringing my other Toyota here as well. Left my car smudge free inside too! Very pleased with level of service!

I found my 2003 MR2 in immaculate condition. To preserve that I only take it to the best. Forget Pertersons. I’ve been ripped off by them too many times. These guys though! These guys are awesome! It’s pretty rare to find a shop as great as this one. On top of that, they’re locally owned and operated!

Get a second opinion before doing any major service at this place.
Saw the review earlier on this day and was just discussing this place prior somewhere else, so I thought I’d throw in my experience here. My prior lifelong mechanic in L.A. focused on Asian cars, so I had a bias for seeking out a similar specialty shop and found these guys. However that mechanic charged labor via actual time where this place introduced me to the lovely world of book time. I self-​diagnosed a problem and made an appointment to visit. It turns out what I thought was the issue wasn’t the actual issue. I had other standard service done, but upon closely examining the receipt the labor charged didn’t match up with the labor performed. Despite no work being done on the issue, I got charged for the labor time of it anyway, which was somewhere in the neighborhood of $ 120. Brian (nice guy, by the way) carefully and somewhat nervously explained the process of book time to a somewhat agitated person knowing I just paid $ 120 for a guy to tell me no work needed to be done. I thought maybe since this was my first visit, and that I had no idea what book time was, maybe he might cut me at least some degree of slack. Nope. You screwed up– give us $ 120. And I don’t recall it being particularly busy that day with cars waiting in line either. Lesson learned about booking time before a problem gets looked at, but perhaps he should’ve realized that taking full advantage of my mistake wasn’t the best way to endear himself to a new customer.
The year after I noticed some leakage. I hadn’t needed service within that time, so I went back to them since this was the only place I had visited in town and my bias to visit a specialty shop remained intact. I ended up having leakage from multiple places– valve cover gaskets, power steering rack, front differential, and transfer case. I got quotes to fix all of them and called my L.A. mechanic to run the quotes by him. He laughed. Heartily. And that laugh sealed the deal with me and LTS. If a mechanic in an area with a much higher cost of living is bashing the pricing here, then I know this isn’t the place to go to. Comparing the receipts to the quote and the actual service, I saved in the vicinity of $ 620 by shopping around. Even the package service deals here seemed rather high. I would watch Brian discussing service with customers and he would kinda grimace as he revealed the prices. It made me want to chuckle, like he even knows what they charge is pretty steep.
Wasn’t sure whether to go with two or three stars but chose three because they didn’t misdiagnose anything or ruin my vehicle or anything like that. No doubt they’re a better option than ever going to a dealership (if I thought I was gouged here, imagine the pricing at a dealership). They’re also within walking distance of a bus stop at Emerald/​Five Mile that makes it handy if you’re lacking a ride to pick up your vehicle. But I’m not coming back as I’ve found a transmission specialist and a service mechanic that I like and trust and are cheaper. I think getting a second opinion for major service is crucial anyway, but for this place it should be mandatory as I saved a good chunk of money by not coming here.

This is a place where nice guys finish first! They beat the pants off the local Toyota «authorized» dealers with great service and customer care! They now handle ALL my Toyotas.

Great spot for servicing your Lexus or Toyota, using a certified Toyota mechanic in Boise, Idaho, LTS Motors is a service oriented, professional spot.
We were in Boise on summer vacation, and we needed a tune up. Back home in Seattle, this can be expensive, since we often head to the dealer.
LTS was a recommendation from my sister-​in-​law, who has used them for years, and always had great service experiences here. She found this place after getting tired of paying dealer service fees, and as someone who has suffered the same pain, I was pretty much in shock to get a bill that was about ¹⁄₃ the price we had last paid for a tune up at a local dealership in Seattle.
I took a peek at the mechanics area, and I’m impressed with how immaculate the space is. Its really spotless. There is a waiting area, complete with sofa, tv, Keurig coffee maker and a kids play area.
Highly recommended if you are ever in the inevitable world of auto repair, and are used to the professional and service oriented experience of getting your car maintenanced by the dealer, but DO NOT want to pay those exorbitant prices. LTS is a great alternative.
