Yotamasters

If I could give a thousand stars I would… great shop awesome team! Honest & affordable you can’t go wrong if you bring your vehicle here!

This is the place I get my oil changed for years

It’s not easy finding parts for a modified 30 year old Toyota. I’m dysfunctional & pretty much disappointed with ever mech & parts store I visit. However, Yotamaster has exceeded my expectations on many occasions. Eric is the Yoda! He knows his sh*t. Old and new rigs. On more then one occasion he has walked me through a repair and located OEM parts for much less then dealership prices. Never tried to up-​sale me or push stupid products. The staff is hard working and turn out great rigs. I travel from South Orange County, fighting the 91, because it’s worth it!

I don’t even know where to start. My 86 pickup has been to several mechanics over the years, no one who really knew Toyotas. Eric and his team has fixed so many issues at the price he quotes. He’s replaced my rear diff, installed a short shifter, fixed my AC, rebuilt the carb, and everything has turned out great. It’s the only place I’ll take my pride and joy.

Two mechanics gave up trying to fix the engine in my 2000 4Runner before I brought it to Yotamasters.
Yotmasters diagnosed the problem quickly and correctly, then fixed it properly. The price was fair and within the range they quoted.
It doesn’t get any better than that.

If I could give 6 stars, I would! We have a 4 runner where the 4 wheel drive wouldn’t engage. Eric’s customer service was excellent and their price for the job was very fair. He took the time to explain the issue and showed me my old parts that caused the problem. I wish we would have known that they specialize working on regular repairs on Toyota’s as we would have been going there before this. They don’t just work on 4 wheel drives. I highly recommend all Toyota owners to give them a try.

A business that specializes in toyotas and offroading for toyotas? Please. 10 stars if possible. Cool dudes too. Couldnt ask for a more perfect shop for my 2^nd and 4^th gen 4runner

Great shop run by great people. They installed an ARB locker and new gearing in my Tacoma prerunner ! Everything went smoothly and made me feel like my truck was in good hands :)

Brought my 2004 4×4 TRD Extracab in for a timing belt and accessory belts change. They provided me a fair quote, made some suggested services BUT did not push me on getting them done. The price was very fair, was right on the quote and was done in a timely manner. For what it’s worth, I highly recommend this shop if you own a Toyota.

The best of the best great at what they do and it shows! As you can see from all the reviews Eric is a stand up guy and is willing to work to make thing right and get you back on your feet!

These guys are incredible! They are the seventh mechanic I’ve taken my 1989 Toyota Hilux 4×4 pickup to. None of the other six mechanics could figure out why the check engine light has been on for 6 months. In fact, they probably caused some of the problems to begin with. Within 15 minutes Eric already found one problem — two hoses that were not connected to the EGR valve, very easy to see visually. And I had just taken the truck last week to the other mechanic! They also found an O2 sensor that was improperly grounded, an EGR modulator in need of replacement, and a throttle adjustment sensor in need of adjusting. When I got the truck back and asked Eric if the check engine light would be off he said «Yes sir», not «Hopefully» or «I think so». THESE GUYS KNOW THESE TRUCKS. It’s no wonder they have 15 five star ratings (now 16). If I could give them 20 stars I would.

They moved! Bigger shop, more room, the new place is tight. All of the dudes here are great

Yotamasters is the real deal. Honest and almost half the price of anyone that has quoted me. I will NEVER take my Toyotas to anyone else again!

Even though they’re over an hour away from me, I won’t take either of my Toyota trucks to anyone but Yotamasters. Eric is great and very knowledgeable. They’ve done everything from replacing a steering rack to doing a full engine swap for me.

Had YotaMasters rebuild my differential after I chipped some gears in my Prerunner. Eric was awesome throughout the process and was extremely knowledgeable. I would say he went ABOVE and BEYOND. I will be recommending them to friends for sure.

I took my 2005 Tacoma into another mechanic and they couldn’t find the problem, they also didn’t want to work on it because it was lifted and had oversized tires. I took it over to Yota Masters and told Eric the vibration issues I was having. Later that day not only did he find the problem but he got it fixed. I got my truck back the same day with three new u-​joints and couldn’t be happier with the smooth ride. Price was good and service was even better. I am glad to say I have found a place to take my truck to if I ever have any more problems!

Well after going to three different mechanics to try and find my mysterious sound that was in my 99 Limited 4×4 4Runner. I talked to Eric for about 15 minutes telling him everything I have work on, inspected, replaced trying to fix this noise that would not go away.
Soon we were off on a test drive so he could hear my sound. Well sure enough just as I told Eric it would the sound came. He assured me that the issue was not what we were thinking originally (Fan Bracket Bearing on the 3.4 Engine).
After getting back to the shop he pull the tire off. Well low and behold the problem was a faulty part that was just put in about a month ago (Rotor). It was just out of round enough that it was hitting something in the caliper. He was able to find the smallest of rub mark that so many misses on inspections. The Rotor was just out of specs by the hundredth of an inch.
I know this sounds small but I literately have tried to track this down for over a month and it was making me crazy. To have a Tech find it in under ten minutes after actually listening to me was AMAZING! This is a fantastic shop everyone. It is not fancy by any means but the work the guys do is simply amazing. You should know just by the trail rig they build by hand all around the shop for other customers that come from all over So-​Cal to them.
In the end the bottom line is simple. If you own a Toyota rest assure that this is the only place that you need to go. They guys have been going strong for over 30 years now. Need I say more! Thanks again Eric for taking the time and the challenge to find my issue with out even a charge for the time you took out of your day! A thank you is not enough. I will strongly recommend your shop to all the guys from
and Tacoma World in So-​Cal.

My wife drives a 1998 4runner and I was just about ready to drive it down to Pick a Part and leave it there. You couldn’t drive it faster than 30 mph without getting knocked around by the intense vibrations. I told her we weren’t going to put any more money into her «Cash for Clunker». Well, my wife wouldn’t give up on her baby. She searched the web and read in different forums about what the problem might be… Ujoints…and Yotamasters were highly recommended as reliable and trustworthy on these forums. She emailed them and received an answer almost instantly. Eric assured her it was an easy fix. They were able to work on her car right away. In and out. Good as new. My wife is as happy as the first day she got her baby! Thanks Yotamasters!

I’ve been going to Yotamasters for approximately 5 years now. I use them for all of my maintenance and custom work on my Toyota 4×4’s. They have done everything for me from differentials, clutches, timing belts, custom welding, brake jobs, etc. I live an hour away but still use them exclusively and trust them explicitly. Their prices are fair and I’ve never had any issues. I highly recommend them. In fact I will be sending Eric an email today because I need a few things done.
Once I had my truck towed to them and Eric stayed late way past closing time to meet the tow truck. I really appreciate the level of service I always get.

Jay and Eric run a hole-​in-​the-​wall garage that is second to none in Corona. They both have 4×4 backgrounds and they are very solid, HONEST mechanics. I am very particular about who works on my car. Here you get professional service that’s done right every time.
I’ve been coming here for about five years and would not consider taking my cars anywhere else. I know that it looks like a shack — and it is, but if you want prompt attention to detail when your car is concerned and a fair price, there is simply no place else.
