Top notch shop and extremely clean, extremely well trained ASE certified mechanics and service writers. The only shop in the area I trust on Major services with both of my Hondas.

The service was great.....Friendly and professional. They took the time to explain the work they did and let me know of any additional issues and things I will need to address in the future. Their pricing was very good. Nice to have a local service center I can trust.

Exceeded my expectations. As a woman, I am always suspect of what "problems" I am told my car may have. Randy, brought to my attention two issues which they fixed, but showed me a picture of what it looked like before and after. WHAT A CONCEPT! PROOF...I love it. The other first .... The price I was quoted was the price I paid when I returned to pick up the car. Very impressed with quick and HONEST service. Big thank you to Randy and his staff Jess Couch

When I was in California Maxat Hybrid provided me with probably the best automobile repairing service in this parts of US. I had some problem with my Prius on last weekend and visited these guys; had a great experience. The team is very good; they take really good care of the car and thoroughly inspect the problems, quickly resolve the same. They also provide original parts and are endorsed to Toyota. If you are looking for a tangible solution then it is highly recommended. Again thanks Maxat for the great service.

Always well taken care of. Thank you.
