The guys did a great job diagnosing the issue with my car and getting it fixed quickly. I have been going here for about 3 years now. Highly recommend them for car repair!

I had the rear ac evaporator core replaced on a town and country this week and they done a very good job and in a timely manner. I think if you need any mechanical work done on your car this would be a good place to go.

A friend of mine recommended Toytechs. I've been coming back for years. Great work. Reasonably priced. Less expensive than the car dealership with higher quality work and service. I've told folks for years that I trust Shawn and anything he tells me. That's how good they are!

These people know cars and customer service AND their prices are so much better than any dealership. They have gone over and above to help us with our kids old Honda. They consistently give us great service on our other cars at a great price!

Great import service and they also do domestic. Friendly staff and they care about their customers. Safety first and if hard times and it's not safe for your care to be on road they will help you to their best ability. Top notch

We love our repair shop. Have been going to Toytech since 2011. We have 3 Toyota's and would not take them anywhere else. We have family that also uses Toytech as their repair shop. We are all happy with their service and prices. The owner and staff are friendly and honest. Would never take our cars anywhere else!

Had a throw out bearing go out on my Scion FRS. Had them replaced the whole clutch assembly. This car has had issues with them failing early, and they worked with me to get the new part Toyota introduced in 2017 for this reason. When I picked it up clutch needed some adjusting which they brought the car right in and did free of charge. Smoother than new now 😄. Front desk ladies are really sweet and willing to help, can't say enough about the techs. They obviously know what they are doing. Thanks all!!

I have told this story many many times but it is worth repeating.My husband and I were returning from vacation from Northern Minnesota to SW Missouri. Everything going great until we stopped to fill up with gas in Liberty Missouri.. Getting back on the highway the car, Toyota sequoia, began to shake and the dashboard light up like a Christmas tree.We pulled off the highway and being it was about 10:30 Saturday night we decided to get a hotel room. Our plan was to find a mechanic that we could get into on Monday but being my husband had to work Monday we world have to rent him a car and I would stay in liberty with the car.After getting into our hotel room we started looking in the phone book for mechanics.. I got on Google and searched also and saw great reviews for this company Toytechs.I told my husband to call and see if we could leave a message about our plight.But to our surprise Shawn answered the phone. My husband explained the situation and asked if we could we bring the car in Monday. Shawn said well you're not very far from me I will just ride my bike up there and check it out.Now my husband was a little shocked and maybe not thinking straight. He hangs up the phone and says the guy Shawn is close by and going to ride his bicycle over. I say okay and my husband heads down to the parking lot... Remember it is about 11 pm on a Saturday night.A short time later my husband comes back to the room and says that Shawn knows what's wrong and they are going to Toytechs to repair the car. Oh and by the way he did not arrive on a bicycle but drove up on his motorcycle. Too funnyMaybe 30 minutes later my husband returned with the car working perfectly. Shawn had the part needed to fix it right there in his shop.My daughter moved to kcmo and lives near the plaza but she drives to Toytechs in Liberty MO to get all of her car work done.Just recently my Toyota Prius hybrid battery went bad and it was cheaper for me to have it tolled from Greenfield MO than to get it fixed in nearby Springfield, MO. Not to mention that I only really trust Shawn who is honest, fair and my hero.Thank you Shawn. And if you need the best mechanic in the KC metro area you should go see Shawn at TOYTECHS

Top tier work at a very reasonable price. Shawn at Toytechs is the only man we trust with our 89 Pickup. Thank you! We've brought everything from our 4Runner to Sequoia here and have never been disappointed with the price and timeliness.

I’ve taken my Honda CR-V here a couple times now and I’ll keep bringing it back for service. They’re honest and do great work. Their prices are some of the best around too. No need to waste time and money at the dealership. Take it to Toytechs and you’ll be better off.

Took my wife's RAV4 here and they fixed the issue super quick. Two other mechanics looked at it before I brought it here and told me nothing was wrong with it, but th brakes were super Grundy and Toytechs fixed us right up.

Very professional atmosphere and staff. They fixed an electrical problem on my acura that a previous mechanic couldn't figure out. I love the waiting area... the cubicles are a nice touch. Fix that dang toilet lid though!

Great customer service! Knowledgeable techs! And they never pressure you to buy a part you "might need". Toytechs always goes that extra mile, So my family and I always drive the extra miles to their shop!

I had electrical coil #1 go bad. Spoke to Shawn who informed me they could handle job. He actually replaced #1, 3, 5 on firewall side which makes sense because those are more difficult to access. Promised vehicle by Tuesday. I received vehicle back on Monday in proper working order. Impressed with the front office staff who treated me like family. I will be returning for future Toyota maintenance. Highly recommend over the dealer prices who always try to sell you maintenance items that are not needed.

Great work, great attention to detail. Shawn knows what he's doing. Not only did he tell me what was wrong with my vehicle, he showed me. Then he gave me not one, but 3 estimates. The first was just to fix the problem with after market parts, which was the most budget-friendly option. The next was to fix the problem and some other stuff that was likely to need fixing soon, with after market parts. The final one was the same as the second one, but with genuine Toyota OEM parts. You generally don't get service like that from the dealers, even when you bought your Toyota from them.Also, they offer a free second-opinion. You get an estimate from a local dealer, bring that estimate to Shawn and he'll give you an expert's second opinion. You can tell by all the certificates on the wall that he's been a Toyota master technician for a long time, and he keeps his certifications current. Can't go wrong here.

I ended up taking my '93 pickup to Toytechs after another garage failed to find out why it was not running correctly. Shawn was great to deal with, he and Grant did a phenomenal job finding why it was stumbling. They actually do problem solving instead of just installing new parts hoping to find the cure. Going forward ToyTechs are the only shop I'm going to use for service and repair. Thanks again.

I took my 88 Toyota 4x4 here for a laundry list of highly technical maintenance to be performed. They exceeded expectations! On time and on budget; they even fixed some issues I was unaware of. I would highly recommend!

I've taken my vehicles here a few times and they have always been fair and honest. I wouldn't take my cars any where else.

They use genuine Honda products, but didn’t try and up-sell me on maintenance that wasn’t necessary yet. Parking lot situation could be improved upon as far as a designated entrance/exit area for incoming clients, but besides that, good work. 👍🏻

My wife and I have nothing but kind words for All the employees at ToyTechs they have always been so honest and strait forward with us. Very reasonably priced always seems very fair. They specialize in foreign vehicles but worked on my GM when I needed them to. Would recommend to any and all my friends!!!!

I have been going there for about a year now. I have a fantastic experience every time. Took it in today for some noise in the front after a tire rotation somewhere else. They told me I needed new tires and that someone had over filled one! Love how honest they are! I am a life long customer now!

Shawn was the bomb! recently had them do my 02 4 runner explained everything I wanted checked out and he went above and beyond. My 4runner is 100% operational and all things checked and functioning to go exploring.

Shawn is always on top of whatever your question might be! His time as a service advisor for Toyota just made him that much better! The staff is great! You can't find a more knowledgeable group of people! The work is on target! And he stands behind whatever you need from tractors to 4 wheelers... He will get you back on the road!

They got me in at my scheduled time. It took less than an hour and they were done and I was on my way. They have comparable prices to other places. They were very nice and knew their business.

I took my 2014 Honda Pilot to have the timing belt, water pump and tensioner recommended maintenance done. They were very professional and completed the job as promised. I will be coming back for any additional work I might need.

I finally found mechanics who know their way around an older Subaru. Had a problem for years with multiple mechanics saying they either didn't find a problem or attempts to fix were unsuccessful. (It took a light hand to feel vibration.) ToyTech diagnosed immediately and repaired. Two more big repair jobs have me hoping this will be my last car. It is a relief when a mechanic gives you (a woman) credit for knowing there is something wrong...not just brushing you off.

Amanda and the entire TOYTECHS team have been phenomenal to work with. I was referred by my mechanic whom was unable to work on my Lexus at the time, and I won’t take it anywhere else as long as I don’t have to. They have dealt with constant headaches from my extended warranty company with ease, and effectively communicated to me throughout the entire process. I’d highly recommend them to anyone I know. Thank you!

I’ve been a customer of ToyTechs since 2012 and I trust them completely. They correctly diagnose and repair. They’re very courteous and professional in all their interactions. Their prices are reasonable but my number one reason for doing business with them is the trust factor. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I took my older Honda CRV to Toytechs for many years and now take our new Honda Pilot to them for maintenance. Their prices are unbeatable and they do quality work. I wouldn't waste time or money at the dealership anymore. Toytechs does better work at a far better price.
