Hye-Tech Auto Repair

This is the second time coming here and the second time leaving happy and satisfied with the work done on my car. The owner is very fair and honest. I have already recommended this place to friends. I will be back again

Chevy S10 Blazer.
Hye-​Tech Auto has been taking care of my blazer ever since I bought it in 2010. The previous owner I purchased it from did not take care of it and John and his guys have been with me every step of the way. I don’t know about these reviews claiming this is a shady shop. John is honest and only intends the best for his customers and their vehicles. I have moved twice and it doesn’t matter where I go, it is well worth the drive to get to Hye-​Tech Auto. It’s really hard to find a shop that you can trust and fortunately for me I know my car is in good hands.
I just got a full tune up and John had everything ready for me. I met Richard who is very knowledgeable and did a great job. I felt the difference as soon as I drove off. This is the place to take your car if you want a shop you can trust.
Thanks John and Richard

Last Saturday, my Jaguar X Type overheated and I had to get it towed to Hye-​Tech Auto Repair after hours.
I managed to speak to Richard (one of the mechanics) on the phone before the shop closed for the weekend, and he calmed my nerves by letting me know that I could drop off the keys in the after-​hours drop box. Richard also let me know that YES, the shop would be open on Monday, even though it was Martin Luther King Day, a federal holiday.
I felt very relieved knowing that this great shop would be able to take care of my old Jaguar again.
I started coming to Hye-​Tech some years ago after getting tired of the ridiculously high prices charged by the Pasadena Jaguar dealership.
John, the owner of Hye-​Tech, always has been very helpful in explaining what work needs to be done, and he always finds ways to save me money.
If you want an HONEST, DEPENDABLE, & REASONABLY PRICED auto repair shop, go here!

Love this place. John is great. They finish the job in a quick and timely manner without breaking the bank. The only place I trust with my cars

Another great experience at Hye Tech Auto! John and Richard are the best! Honest, Great work and great prices!

I haven’t wrote a review in ages, but felt compelled to write one today. I went to Hye-​Tech today to have my 2 rear struts changed. The owner, John, was able match the price quoted from another auto shop and said it will take 2.5 hours to get the new struts installed. I decided to give Hye-​Tech a chance, since it was nearby home. When I got there, I asked John if he does auto body repair, since my back bumper was sticking out. He said he doesn’t, but he’ll take a look for me.
I waited there for 2.5 hours and it was really finished in 2.5 hours. John didn’t mention my bumper and I totally forgot about it when I left. When I got to my car, I see that John had it pushed in like I requested and he didn’t charge me for that. Wow! What a great place!!! Thank you very very much for pushing the bumper back in for me. It has been on my mind for the longest time, but being a busy person, I couldn’t find time to call around and find a place that would do it.
During my 2.5 hours wait, I was occupying my time with candy crush. I overheard John speaking with his customers and the conversations he had with some of his suppliers. He really went out and about to get great deals for some of his clients. I really must say that it was a pleasure to find Hye-​Tech from Unilocal and I’ll definitely come back to replace my front struts when they are worn to the ground! Thanks again!

I had a great experience with John when my truck was having issues. quick diagnosis and repair, its running great now! Thanks!

I have been coming to this shop for over a year. John always gives honest analysis regarding the issues with my vehicles. Rather than just applying a bandage, he gives recommendations on what it will take to make a vehicle fully functional. His prices are reasonable and the customer service is top notch. I know that whenever my vehicles have problems, Hye Tech Auto will correct the issues to ensure I have a strong ride.

Once again John took care of me and my s430. With perfect prices thank you John and team.

Today was my second day here and I will definitely be back! John and his staff were honest and helpful, two things that seem to be hard to find at some shops. I had major issues with my Mini Cooper and instead of me paying what the dealership quoted me, John’s estimate was almost half the price and with all original parts. They checked other things for me and made me aware of things that my car may need later on in the future but never pushed me into anything that he knew could wait a bit for me. The wait time wasn’t bad and they offer a shuttle service which surprised me. The shop is a bit hard to notice since it is in the back but nonetheless, I will definitely be back and thank you again!

If our dog loves John, so do we!!! They say a dog has a sense for who is trustworthy. Our dog, Kayla, loves to run up to John and hug him. They are very patient and take time to explain everything. I unfortunately had to have my head rebuilt but at least he was the only mechanic that properly diagnosed the problem. Now have had no problems whatsoever. Purrs like a kitten!

Since my first review I have continued to come to Hye-​Tech for regular maintenance (oil changes, etc) on my Nissan Altima. In the last month however my car refused to start, the battery was good, and it turned out my starter needed to be replaced. John waited for me to arrive in the tow truck with my car, despite the shop technically being closed for the evening. That pretty much sums up how all service is done here in my opinion: above and beyond. I’ve never experienced anything less and every time I’m in the waiting room hear the same thing from his other customers. A diamond in the rough as far as car repair goes!

My Family recently moved from Pico Rivera to Covina. I brought my car to Hye– tech Auto repair because it was right across the street from us. I brought my car in for a oil change and they did a fantastic job so, I referred my Husband. My Husband took his car in and again, a fantastic job. I took my car in again for a oil Change. Come to find out, the transmission needed to replaced and the water pump needed to be changed. John (the Owner) could have easily charged me like $ 1500 to fix them but, instead HE called the Ford dealer and found out it was covered under warranty. Which, I was totally unaware of. So if your looking for a honest mechanic, Hye-​Tec Auto repair is it!!! There the best!!!

John is very informative and helpful. He called my warranty company and worked out a deal that was amazing. After everything was done my car got washed and ran like new. Great customer service and attention to detail.

This is the third time I have gone to Hye Tech, and I always forget to write a review.
The owner is very nice and willing to hear about whatever problems you’re dealing with. Today my car wouldn’t start and one of his guys reassured me that everything would be fine. And because the owner wasn’t in at the time they offered to do a call back to address any other problems I may have had.
The prices are fair and I really would recommend you go to them if you’re having any problems.

My car was leaking coolant and found Hye-​Tech Auto Repair on Unilocal.I read the reviews and thought I would give this place a chance. I’m so glad I did!
As the reviews stated, John is AWESOME! He REALLY goes the extra mile for his customers, as is the case for me, even though I didn’t actually get anything done, lol
As I mentioned earlier, my car had a coolant leak. After a free inspection, John found the coolant reservoir was almost empty and the Engine Block had a crack. Even after I told him I would be taking it to my regular mechanic, for repairs, he looks for, and finds, a warranty extension for my Honda, for the exact problem I’m having. He then printed warranty info for me, made sure the car qualified for free repairs and topped off my coolant, all for $ 0.
I couldn’t be more grateful! I will be back for any future car issues and will recommend Hye-​Tech Auto Repair to all my family & friends!
If you want someone who is honest, trustworthy, friendly and reliable, then look no further!
Thanks John & all the Hye-​Tech team!!!

Brought my car in a few years back for maintenance and was very pleased. My car recently broke down, so decided to go back for repair. I was very disappointed with the service.
Owner gave good explanations and pretty good overall customer service. But the repair needed was badly misjudged. Following the repair, my car was running, but the problem continued. I was quoted almost $ 1000 for the repair. I did part of it and left the other undone due to the cost. I went for a second opinion elsewhere and it after simply replacing the spark plugs, my car problem completely went away and all is now running fine. The repairs quoted seem

This is the second time I’ve written a review on Unilocal.In all honesty, I’m glad to be doing it because to me it means I’ve been very pleasantly surprised. Funny enough, it’s about another automotive business.
I think a lot of auto shops get a bad rep due to the fact that too many people receive bad experiences or get cheated on. It’s a stigma that’s hard to shake. As they say, it’s always the bad ones that ruin it for everyone else.
But last week, my Mercedes SL500’s AC compressor gave in. In fact, the problem was so severe that you could see pieces of metal inside the engine bay and more on the floor of the undercover. I called Hye-​Tech Auto because they were local to my area, and were the only ones around me open full hours on a Saturday. Unfortunately for me, I called just as they were closing.
John — who turned out to be the owner — answered the phone and had me describe the problem to him. I waited the weekend and took my car in Monday morning. Lest there be any confusion, when I left my car with him, I already departed with a feeling of confidence.
Not only was John patient in taking the time to listen to what I had to say, he also guided me through the process of how it was done. My car needed some new parts, and John sat with me while he called up several sources to find me the best price. This is transparency, and these days, being up front and transparent with the customer goes a long way.
I think for a lot of drivers, the stigma of an auto shop comes from their own lack of knowledge and experience with the cars they drive. So it’s difficult to trust people you bring your car to. John and his team left me feeling lucky, as I had found another honest-​to-​good business.
I got my car back, and the problem is gone. The AC kicks in like it should and gets brisk. Surprisingly, John called me back a few days later to follow up on how the car felt when I drove it during the week.
What?
Honestly, that surprised me. How often does any business owner call you back themselves just to see how your serviced vehicle — or anything — is coming along? If only my multi-​billion dollar mobile phone carrier remembered to do that!
At the end of the day — no matter what business or its size — it’s just not possible to please everyone; I wrote this in my only other review on Unilocal too. There bad businesses out there just as there are bad customers. And sometimes, even I find myself making too quick a judgement call on someone and giving them a hard time, only to find out later that I was completely wrong.
I went in for service today at Hye-​Tech Auto for another vehicle. I left feeling like I found another honest friend in the world.
For those who are curious about the business itself:
1/​The center is clean, and looks very well managed
2/​The staff are serious about their job and are focused
3/​I noticed a lot of other customers come through with all ranges of vehicle makes
4/​It’s not obvious on the main street (Azusa Ave.) and is further in the plaza
If you have a car problem, or just want to learn more about your own vehicle so you don’t get swindled, do yourself a favor and let the team here help you out. I’m sure you’ll leave with a smile.

I bought a lemon a few years ago from an extremely seedy dealer but I am still hellbent on keeping that monster running. So as you can imagine, I’ve been to my fair share of repair shops.
I’m not a big car buff, but I am a big saving money buff and an experienced customer service buff, and every visit to Hye-​Tech Auto has impressed me on all three counts.
Jon and his employees are very good at communicating issues, explain everything they’re doing in detail, and even fix other shops’ mistakes. It’s way more than I’ve ever seen from an auto repair shop, and I don’t think I’ll be going anywhere else for car troubles any time soon.
