He was able to fix it quickly and inexpensively. I trust and respect him. He is a true professional and lucky to have him here in Vista.

It is a dependable, punctual, honest and truly reliable place to have your Toyota and Lexus automobiles serviced. Luckily I own one of each of these brands and their care is fully entrusted to the good folks at Autotyme. I am particularly pleased with the honest assessment of the situation and the cost effective solutions offered without any attempt to upsell their services. No doubt, I highly recommend them.

I was charged 453. for a H02 sensor & trans. filter/fld. I was called by phone, George said He needed to replace fuel pump/reg. I said no. I had no start up symptoms. I drove away with high emissions & excessive gas loss I did not have prior to the service. He gave me a sensor. He did not give me the trans. filter and told me I had a messy lining as a reason. Trans. pans do not have a lining. I had to have the oxy sensor replaced to eliminate the rich emissions. I had been charged 188. for a sensor that did not work when I left. I discoverd a small vapor hose, did not appear original, however, only a buck or two to replace, he did not do it or mention it in his 94. diagnostic & easily seen. I discovered after leaving, George replaced a higher amp fuse. My fly wheel bolts loosened. Check light I eliminated with routine maintenance. I would highly recommend you look for a mechanic who cares about the health of a vehicle and the safety of the passengers. This man sold his soul to the dark side for $$. He wanted 1300. or he would cause me further repair damage. He clearly stated, if I did not do the repair, it would be one thing after another. I clearly state, he is wrong, but rather, he shall experience one thing after another, I have lived long enough to see the results of people like this....just a matter of time.
