I worked as a heavy line technician for over 10 years before changing careers, so I don't really let anyone touch my vehicles. These days I no longer have the time or resources to tackle major repairs myself. About three weeks after purchasing a Prius, it developed the infamous "death rattle." It turned out the head gasket had failed and was allowing coolant into the cylinders. After doing quite a bit of research, I came across SD Hybrids and saw they had consistently excellent reviews. I gave them a call and spoke with Will, who was knowledgeable, upfront, and took the time to explain my options without any pressure. I brought the car in, and their turnaround time for an engine replacement was incredibly impressive. During the repair, Will discovered that the previous owner had used a head gasket sealant. He documented everything, informed me immediately, and even sent photos so I had proof of what had been done. The pricing was very fair for the quality of work performed, and the communication throughout the process was excellent. As someone who spent years in the automotive industry, I really appreciated the honesty, transparency, and professionalism. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend SD Hybrids to anyone looking for knowledgeable and trustworthy hybrid specialists. Thank you, Will, for taking such good care of my car and for making a stressful situation much easier to deal with. Your honesty and professionalism are greatly appreciated.

Driving my Prius & I heard a scraping noise. I looked underneath & could see something hanging but couldn’t tell what it was. Did a search on Google Maps & found SD Hybrids. They fit me right in to take a look & fixed the problem in just a few minutes. So glad I took my car there! They have a new customer & I’ll definitely be back for those brakes. Thanks, guys!

I had SD Hybrids perform an engine swap on my 2012 Toyota Prius, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Their turnaround time was incredibly fast, and the quality of the work was outstanding. What really impressed me was their attention to detail. Not only did they complete the engine swap professionally, but they also noticed and replaced a burnt-out headlight without me even asking. It's clear they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, honest, and reliable shop, I highly recommend SD Hybrids. Great service, great communication, and exceptional workmanship!

Michael and Will were incredibly helpful replacing my brake actuator. I thought I was going to have to get a new car with the prices I was given elsewhere. They got me in and out in about 24 hours. My car is running great! I’ll certainly be back. Thank so much!

I had a great experience here. They were immediately straightforward and diagnosed the issue correctly over phone in the first 30 seconds. Prius gurus! Very reasonable repair costs and were quick to get me back on the road. After calling many auto repair shops and service centers to get a quote, the team at SD Hybrids was a relief to deal with. No silly runaround process to harvest your personal data. They treated me right and I have already recommended them to multiple other Toyota hybrid owners. Thank you for the excellent service!

I’ve been coming to SD Hybrids for 4-5 years now and I am beyond grateful for their reliability and trustworthiness, and I appreciate so much how kind and patient they are. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

They took great care of my Prius. The most honest, kindest, professional mechanics that we have her in San Diego. I highly recommend. Their prices are unbeatable and the work that gets done is legit(they don’t miss a thing).
