Hybrid Fix

l really thought my Prius was dead and beyond recovery. Three times the dealership (in Mission Hills, which has forever struck out woth me) had blatently lied about the problem and their ability to fix it. Avi had a good idea of what the problem might be even over the phone, so I arranged a flatbed tow to his shop. Guess what! He fixed the problems, and the cost was less than the dealer charged for not fixing them. While i do not want any more problems, since l’ve had my 2004 Prius since new, over 140,000 miles ago, they probably will happen. Guess where I will take her if and when they do.

My experience with Hybrid Fix has been an immensely positive one. Avi is like that brother mechanic in the family that I’ve always wanted but never had.
I own an older non-​hybrid Toyota well on its way to 200,000 miles that I’m not ready to give up on just yet. Up until 2 weeks ago though, I thought I would finally have to. I had recently gone to another mechanic in Glendale for a very basic oil change, and came out of there terrified of even driving my car on the freeway. This other Glendale mechanic literally told me my car would «catch fire at any moment» if I didn’t let him fix it, and that I needed all new gaskets, tires, brakes, etc. Also, my dreaded check engine light had turned on. I just didn’t feel safe at all in my car anymore, and I really believed my beloved clunker had finally gone past the point of affordable repair.
I called Hybrid Fix late on a Thursday afternoon to ask Avi for a final honest diagnosis before looking into a junkyard. I’ve used his repair services in the past, but I was still immediately impressed by the fact that Avi still remembered me by name, as well as specific details about my car even though I hadn’t been to his shop in over 2 years. He agreed to take my car in that very same day and even stayed in past the time he had originally intended to close the shop. He was just that committed to running the tests and figuring out what was actually wrong with my car
Avi seems to really enjoy figuring out what’s wrong with cars and making it right again. When it feels like every other mechanic in town is giving me a poker face and trying to intimidate me, Avi is the complete opposite. Just knowing your mechanic actually cares and isn’t just waiting for you to finish talking so that they can throw prices and technical mumbo jumbo at you that you don’t understand is priceless to me. This time I was included in the repair process from beginning to end. Avi painstakingly explained in great detail what he found to be wrong with my car, and showed me the parts he was talking about just to make sure I understood. No, my valve cover gasket wasn’t leaking. No, I didn’t need new tires and brakes just yet. Yes, my car was going to be just fine, because these are the steps he was going to take to get my car purring again.
My car wasn’t fixed in a single day, but I appreciate how I was kept involved in the decisions throughout the whole repair process and informed on what the next steps were that were being considered before taken. I was given different options to work within my budget, and honest suggestions for what services I should keep in mind for down the road that just aren’t necessary at the moment. I’m confident Avi just saved me hundreds of dollars. His prices were fair and he continually made it a point not to charge me for anything I didn’t actually need yet.
Thanks to Hybrid Fix I’m back on the streets safely driving a high mileage vehicle that only one month ago I had lost all hope of fixing. Been coming to this repair shop on and off for about 5 or 6 years now, and I’ll definitely be back again. Although he’s not exactly in my neighborhood anymore, the drive will be worth it to for Avi’s unparalleled level of dedication, honesty, expertise, customer service and good old-​fashioned pride in his work that I’ve just never seen before in any other mechanic.
Highly recommended.

Avi is great. Nice guy, and funny.

Avi is the man! Honest. Fairly priced. Very knowledgeable. If you have a hybrid come here!

If you’re looking for a solid, honest mechanic for your hybrid car, Hybrid Fix is for you. I had a few issues with my car that cost a hefty amount to fix at some places I had visited. Avi took a look at my car, explained and showed me exactly what was wrong with it, and the best way to fix it. He worked on my car right immediately and charged a small fraction of the cost I had been quoted elsewhere.
On my way out, Avi noticed that my brake check light was on. I explained what I had done so far to get it fixed, including spending hundreds of dollars over the last two years with had no real answer. He immediately knew what was wrong with it fixed it in 30 seconds free of charge.
I highly recommend this auto repair for all your hybrid needs.
