3rd Gen: 2010-2015 Toyota Prius Hybrid Battery

Going to the dealer to get your hybrid battery fixed can be close to $3,000. When i saw on here about this place i immediately called Faraj and asked about the service he explained everything and i gave myself some time to think. He texted me with all the info and i decided to give them a try. I called him to ask if he could get me in Same Day and he said bring it in!!! I drove from Fresno to Stockton and waited at a parking lot. At first i thought it was kind of sketchy but then his son arrived and had great energy. He explained what he was going to do and started working. He literally took 35 min to swap a good battery w the bad one. Then after that Faraj arrived w a written contract about the warranty. It was a very easy and safe process. And will be definitely going back to them for any hybrid issues! They even gave me tips on keeping the hybrid battery good by charging it while in traffic! They are great. Highly recommend them! read less

I have been driving my 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid for 11 years with 167,000 miles. Unfortunately, warranty only covers the batter for 10 years at 150,000 miles.Honestly, I was thinking about selling my car because the value of the car is only about $7,000 or less. Luckily, with a little bit of research, I found out you can repair the battery instead of replacing it with a brand new one. I found Prius Hybrid Battery of San Jose and contacted Faraj on Thursday and he came to my house on Sunday. For about 1/4 of the cost of repair at the Fremont Toyota, I got a refurbished replacement from Faraj for 6 months and 10k miles warranty. If the battery can last me another 5 years or 50k miles, I would be extremely happy.Faraj was responsive and contacted me through text. He is friendly, sincere, and professional. I test drove my car before paying him. The car used to accelerate hesitantly and the battery wouldn't charge according to my battery info screen. The test drive after the battery installment was smooth like before and the battery info screen showed the charging motion and the battery charged to green after about 10 mins of driving. I am extremely satisfied with the repair. Hopefully the repair will last me a lot longer than the warranty states. read less

Faraj answered all my questions clearly and professionally. He offers both refurbished and brand-new batteries at excellent prices. I opted for a brand-new battery because I hope to keep my low-mileage 2005 Prius for many more years. Much more affordable than a dealer, with the same warranty. Faraj was a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended! read less

I wasn't willing to shell out $3k plus labor for a new battery, or $1600 to replace only the two broken battery cells and hope the rest didn't give out. When I came across Faraj's service, I did worry that it sounded to good to be true. Worry not, Faraj delivered with convenience, speed, and professionalism. My Prius is running like new and I have only Faraj to thank. The warranty he offers is pretty great, too! read less

In a charming and highly professional manner he both educated me about Prius batteries and replaced mine quickly. It's been a month, and the Prius now runs like it hasn't for years. BTW, he was willing to adjust the warranty to meet my needs, accepting an extended one-year term in return for my accepting a copay. read less

After using another disappointing service to replace a previous battery I feel fortunate to have found Prius Hybrid Battery of San Jose. Cannot recommend them enough. Since getting my battery replaced I have had other work done on my Prius with them as well. They offer oil changes and they even fixed my brake sensor free of charge.They work after normal office hours which I find very convenient bc I can drop off my car after work instead of during rush hour.What are you waiting for, give Faraj a call read less

He was extremely helpful, he performed a free diagnostic and walked with me through every step of what the issue was & what would be our solution. All my engine lights were turned on on my dashboard and the car was no longer running. Adam and Farraj provided me with excellent customer service. They made sure to perform their best professional labor, my car was supposed to be ready in 3 days but they had my car ready by the next day! Adam went ahead and performed extra labor, he cleaned out my engine fan at no extra cost. Overall, I am a very satisfied customer, I couldn’t be in better hands. read less

My husbands 2005 Prius got the triangle of death! Every Prius owners nightmare! We called Faraj and the next day he came to our home and fixed the battery. It was the most affordable plan we found after much research! Unfortunately about 3 weeks later the triangle came back, but We called Faraj and he came back no problem and fixed it again! He is the last good honest mechanic out there! He is kind and attentive, quick to respond and just a good person! If your battery needs fixing this is you guy!!! read less

My girlfriend and I had the red triangle that the dealer said would be 3k to fix, a fortunate google search lead me to this page and saved me $2,400- They first tried to refurbish my battery but when that did not hold, they did a full replace. Not just that, they responded same day, every time, and were very flexible. Cannot recommend them enough. read less

He was very nice and worked quick. The price was great too. My 2004 Prius battery died and the dealer wanted over $3000, for a new battery. With him I got a refurbished battery with a 1 year battery for $900. The price included a $75 fee for him coming to my house (which was great) and labor. Once again I couldn't be happier, and would definitely use him again. read less

I was quoted a very high price to repair my Camry's battery at the Toyota dealership. I was considering selling my car because of the price. I called Faraj (after researching on Yelp) and he was able to come to my office the next day and repair my car battery. It has been working excellent since. He charged me less than a quarter of the price that the dealership wanted to charge and he got the job done very quickly. Thank you so much, Faraj! read less

Most honest, transparent, fair and friendly folks I've worked within the auto industry! The auto repair industry has a bad rep, rightfully so, for things including folks upselling you stuff you don't need, auto shops creating problems you didn't know you had, absurd labor charges in the Bay Area, dishonest, non-transparent in the parts they use, and the list can go on. I bought my 2006 Prius used when it had ~65K miles. I absolutely LOVE my car and take very good care of it and the car has served me extremely well. In the fall of 2018, at ~100K mile-mark, I had my first experience of hybrid battery failure. My mechanic quoted me upwards of $4K to replace it with a new Toyota battery pack. No way I was spending more on a battery pack than what the car is worth, but I also wasn't ready to let go of my Prius just yet. Upon some research, I came across Faraj's listing with fantastic reviews and decided to give it a go. Faraj was prompt in his communication, offered to come to my place and fix my battery. He even offered me two options 1) replace the damaged cells on my original battery 2) put a refurbished battery from another Prius but with higher mileage. I leaned on Faraj's expertise -since my Prius had low miles for a 2006, he suggested I replace just the damaged cells on my original battery, so we went that route. That shows the honesty and transparency, which I value very much. Through small talks over snacks and Indian chai, we had some great small conversations and quickly established a bond. Fast forward a few months, summer of 2019, I needed to get an oil change and my Prius smogged. By then, Faraj had got a physical space and suggested I check out the mechanic adjacent to his shop, so I decided to give it a go. Not only did I get my work done at the mechanic he referred (Shan Auto Repair for those looking for a good/reasonable mechanic) but Faraj even covered an oil change at his expense! That simply shows how genuine of a person he is!I wish I knew more folks who owned a Prius, so I can give them a heads up should a hybrid issue arise, about Faraj's business. Not only is he an honest and hard-working, so is his team! Through him, I found another mechanic whom I go to now regularly for my other stuff. Keep continuing the great work! Only if all businesses operated with same ethics and business model, sigh. read less

I researched online about this and found that the problem could be a faulty/near end of life battery. I looked for different quotes from different people online and even talked to them about what my options could be but to be honest they just sounded shady and where pushing hard to get a battery replaced without even testing or seeing my car. The last person to call was this business and a gentleman called Faraj. He offered to test the battery at no charge and give me a straight answer on what I needed. Once I arrived to his business he was very courteous, professional and kept his word as far as checking the health of my battery and giving me an honest opinion. It’s hard to find now a days people that are good, honest and reliable. I also appreciated the way he spent time explaining to me what a drained battery looks like and all the help he provided. If you are thinking about getting your battery tested, fixed or replaced then Faraj is your guy. I highly recommend his business but first talk to him to see what your options are. Thanks again guys for you and your son’s help. You guys were great! Keep it up with your honest work and dedication. read less
