Toyoworks – Toyota, Lexus & Scion Auto Repair

Went to Toyoworks to have them replace my catalytic converter. Needed to pass my emissions test that week and they worked diligently to make sure it was ready on time, for the most reasonable price. I came in late one afternoon, made them stay a few minutes after quitting time and they were happen to accommodate me. They told me that the parts guy they called was ready to sell $ 2500 worth of parts. They told me to wait till the next day so they can put in an order for parts that were half that price. Good, honest guys here. They will definitely be seeing my truck again (unfortunately there’s just so much that needs to be fixed.)

Let me start off by saying, I do agree with other reviewers. Andre is a very nice guy and I see nothing but positive reviews, however I feel it is important that my review be posted as well.
I took my car there to have some work done and I asked them while they had it to complete a CONVENTIONAL oil change due to the 2AZFE engine having an oil consumption problem. They said they would have my car done the same day and they would call when it was complete.
They did not call to inform me the status on my car, I had to call (several times to actually speak to someone) and find out the status of my car. They informed me that the technician could not find the problem and that Andre would be taking it out to find the problem. At this point it is 4:30pm and the shop closes at 5 so I knew that getting my car back was not going to be possible. They said they needed to keep it another day to fix the issue, which was not a terrible inconvenience but a little annoying no one called me to inform me, but rather I had to call them.
The next day, again, 4:30pm comes around and no call about my car. I called several times and even left a message asking they return my call to see if my car was ready. Finally someone returned the calls and said it was done but I had to be there before 5pm to pick it up. So I raced over pick up my car before closing.
I was informed that they had put SYNTHETIC oil in my engine because «my engine takes a special oil». I was a little annoyed because I had specifically asked for conventional and I was running conventional oil in my car. Had they called and asked if it was ok to put synthetic I would have more than likely said no. Also, after checking, they had over-​filled my oil past the maximum mark on my dipstick.
Other issues occurred, however Andre was very prompt about resolving the issues we had with communication, so I commend them on that and my review is not based on that fact.
Overall, as mentioned in all previous reviews Andre is a good guy and was very prompt about fixing the issues I had not mentioned in this review. However, I think that communication with letting me know the status of my vehicle and deciding to go ahead and put synthetic oil in my car without getting my approval when I specifically stated conventional was not ideal.

Place was ok. Prices are a little high place is a little dirty and staff not so friendly. They were busy so ill cut them some slack but not much

I needed alot of maintenance work done on my Lexus IS300 that I had just purchased, took it into the shop to have Andre and the crew work on it. Andre discovered lots of issues with my vehicle and made every effort to make the job done correctly and blew me away with his professionalism and honesty. After all the work was done, I knew I made the right choice as to which shop to work on my car. They put forth a good faith effort to restore my vehicle to a much better condition that what I took it in. If i need to have more work done, I know that I can trust him. Thank you Toyoworks!

Got my tC in and got it fixed and ready the next day! I thought I had a big issue going on with my tC but after having them do a diagnostic everything was fine even got a few other things that needed future repairs done to avoid later.
Their customer service was awesome and friendly as well, their communication is a plus! It’s good to know there is a great shop around you can trust and know where to come back again. Thanks to Andre and your crew. Thank you TOYOWORKS!

I’m very protective of my 04 MR-​2 and would not trust my car with anyone, but I’d just about trust my first born here! Highly recommend this shop!

I brought my Lexus to Toyoworks as a result of the preceding Unilocal reviews, and can see why they are all 5 stars. In a business in which trust is often at issue, Andre and his entire crew go the extra mile to demonstrate the work that they did (in my case they even took photos and showed me on an iPad the existing damage and resulting repair), and communicated throughout the process so that I knew what work was being done and why.
On top of that, they could have taken advantage of a check engine light by proposing that it was a more significant problem, when it was in fact an inexpensive gas cap that resolved the issue.
Great work, on time, and with comfort and trust, all at a reasonable rate… what more could you ask for from a mechanic.

At 90,000 miles, other than oil changes and filters, I had not had any work done on my ’08 Tacoma thinking, «I really don’t want to go to the dealership, but… » Found Toyoworks via Unilocal.Here is a locally-​owned shop specializing in Toyota and Lexus. They do quality work at a very reasonable price. Andre, the owner, is a nice guy who returns phone calls and explains things well, not pushy at all. The customer — as a person — is important to him. What a relief to find a good shop with people like Andre.

Andre is the owner of toyoworks. We’ve been taking our vehicles to him for years and are so appreciative for his service. Andre is a great mechanic and great guy. Honest, stand up kinda guy. This would never be a place you would have to worry about poor or unnecessary service. The job is done right, fairly and at very reasonable prices. I have never been dissatisfied with toyoworks and have had everything from oil changes to engine work done here. Highly recommended place of business

Andre did a great job on my vintage Land Cruiser. Work done as promised and on time for a very reasonable price. Couldn’t be happier, and my truck drives great.

I’ve been coming here for two years because I trust them. They get busy but they do quick solid work! Andre, the owner, is a nice person and always makes me feel at ease!

What a great shop! Our 2001 lexus failed the emission test this year, the estimate from lexus was close to $ 1k, toyoworks was half that. Unfortunately another problem developed during that repair, (not their fault, age of vehicle) Andre went way out of his way to fix it at a very minimal cost. Can’t say enough good things about how we were treated.

The folks at Toyoworks have been very fair, courteous, honest and most importantly haven’t tried to «up sell» services to me. I highly recommend them for service at a fair and reasonable price.

In my opinion, mechanics are some of the most untrustworthy people. Of course, I’m not the only one who thinks this. I think most of us have been cheated by at least one. Most don’t even know they’ve been cheated.
So my brakes have been making noises for several months and finally, I decided to have the front brakes changed. I waited mainly because I’m new to the city (so no car knowledgeable friends near by) and hate dealing with finding mechanics and wasn’t in a hurry to be parted with my money.
You know the drill, go in for an oil change or tire rotation and end up being told you need to replace a ton of other stuff and because you don’t know much about cars (otherwise you’d do this stuff yourself), you reluctantly agree since safety comes first and of course, you’re told if you wait on the repairs, it’ll cost you way more later on.
Anyway, saw the good reviews on Unilocal,booked an appointment and came in today half expecting to be told that it’s not just the front brakes but the rotor has to be replaced as well or at least resurfaced which means more money.
To my surprise, Andrea (the owner), told me the brakes were fine and the noise is likely caused by dirt/​dust build up and had one of his guys clean it for me. He even took my car for a quick drive around the block just to make sure everything is okay. Didn’t even charge me anything.
They could’ve easily just changed the front brakes since I told them to and had they said the rotors needed to be changed, I wouldn’t even have argued. There are plenty of places that would’ve at least gone ahead and replace the brakes even if it wasn’t necessary.
Anyway, I still think mechanics in general are scums of the Earth but this place has my trust. Aside from family members and close friends, this is the first time I’m recommending a mechanic. The term «honest mechanic» is practically an oxymoron but in this case, it describes Andrea and his team well.

Top notch, honest, and cost effective. Great place

Suggestions :
Book an Appointment.
Have a lowered car?
Definetely book an appointment in advance.
Andre was honest when I got in. He said he would try to squeeze me into their time slot. Dealership quality service at a small shop location. Will probably do my major work at this location.

Top notch, honest guy. I first went for a repair that was finished on time and within a few bucks of the estimate. Also, I needed a new 12v battery for my Pruis. Camelback Toyota wanted to sell me a parts-​store brand battery that wasn’t the right size (long story) for way too much. I asked for a quote from Andre and it was $ 70 less so I asked him to order one. I got a premium genuine Toyota battery the next day and it’s the right size (which shockingly he got from Camelback Toyota and says a lot about how I was treated by them as a customer). Awesome!

Very honest and trustworthy mechanic! As a female I know how mechanics can take advantage of us but Andre is such an honest mechanic! I’ve taken my car, a 2002 Toyota Camry in on multiple occasions and he only does what is needed. Back in 2012 my engine light went off and 2 solenoid panels needed to be repaired. Andre was not comfortable with repairing this part of the transmission so he recommended me to go to a transmission specific shop AND he never charged me for the diagnostic check to boot! Seriously, this shop rocks!

I had previously owned a Toyota Tacoma which I loved, but I never had a good mechanic. Then my last car was a BMW which I referred to as break my wallet until I found Scott’s Motor Werks. Scott was the most honest shop I ever went to and after 248,000 miles on my BMW, I decided it was time to retire it. I didn’t want another BMW due to the many little things that seem to go wrong with them. So I decided to go back to my old trusted Toyota and bought a used 4Runner with 89,000 miles. My biggest concern was were I was going to go for service. When I bought the 4Runner, I knew it had an antifreeze leak, but I wasn’t sure if it was the obvious hose which looked like it had signs of seepage or the water pump which often goes out around 90,000 miles.
After reading the reviews on Unilocal,I decide to take my new used vehicle to Andre. Andre was very honest and his pricing was very good compared to the other places I checked. Andrew discovered the previous owner had installed a generic hose which he said often have issues. So I had him replace it because I figured at the price he was going to do it, it wasn’t worth my time and effort.
I am very happy with the service, price, and expertise at Toyoworks. I’m happy to say that I found a repair shop that make’s me feel as confortable as I did at Scott’s. Having been to many bad shops in Phoenix and dealerships, it’s great to find someone like Andre.

I needed some work done on my ’01 Lexus GS430 and stumbled upon this shop on Unilocal.Set up an appointment with Andre, he was super nice and found what another shop had already told me was wrong with the car (needed lower control arm no. 2 replaced on passenger and driver side). He did this at no charge and quoted me about $ 75 lower than the other shop which was supposedly giving me a «deal» with their price for being a repeat customer.
I wasn’t done trying to get a better price on the work, so I took to the internet to find the parts needed and found them cheaper online. Scheduled another appointment to have the work done only to find out I bought 2 of the SAME part! Luckily for me Andre ordered the part AND gave me a 15% discount on it AND still had the work done by the time he said he would!
Andre was very professional, the price was affordable and the shop was very clean. I will DEFINITELY be taking my car into Toyoworks for all my maintenance!
