A few interactions later (geico, cops, tow trucks and a close friend who offered me sanctuary for the night) I decided to call up Faraj to fix my car and make it back to LA. On the phone, he proposed that it might be an issue with the hybrid battery and gave me a reasonable quote and a fast turnaround. I spent most of the day with him today and he did just that!What I really appreciate about Faraj was his dedication to addressing my needs, his willingness to keep trying out different solutions, and how he genuinely wanted the best for me and my car. Im ending the day feeling safe enough to drive 6 hours back home, and not feeling like I spent a fortune to do it. Im so relieved that I chose this company to help me out- Trust me, you won't regret it!Californiahybridbatteryr… read less

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 really love what they're doing and the pride they take to work. Adam was the technician that came was a pro. He really knew what he was doing, the part that I love most is that when he put everything together he did it in a very clean and delicate way. Im really happy and they saved me a lot of money read less

Prior to taking it to them I took it to another repair shop and they spent 3 days trying to figure out what was wrong with it to no avail. I was very alarmed and devastated.

I am extremely happy with my entire experience here! 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

So he comes to change my battery out and discovers since I have a 2003  Prius he doesn't have the battery I need. (Apparently 2003 batteries are very hard to come by)  But free-of-charge he plugs some diagnostic tool into my car under the driver side area & clears all the codes & things. Now my car is back to normal, for how long he wasn't sure but at least I know I can drive without worrying for a little bit until I find the battery I need for a 2003 Prius. Faraj is one-of-a-kind. Words can't describe how grateful I am to him. 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

My whole family has Priuses and we will definitely be coming back whenever we have an issue again. Very knowledgeable and even spotted an unrelated issue which I was able to have resolved before it became a real headache.

Couldn't unlock or open the doors. Called Faraz after checking out some of the Yelp reviews. I mentioned that I had a dead car sitting in my garage where I couldn't access the hood and battery to try to jump the car as it was facing an interior wall. He patiently walked me through every step of the way on the phone till I was able to open the trunk from the inside of the car, access the rear battery (who knew there was a battery in the rear!), and  jump-start my car. I was able to successfully re-start it, take it to an auto store and buy a new battery. The local store was charging a lot to install it, so I called Faraz again and he said he would come by to my place of work and replace it for a nominal fee. He kept his word, showed up on time and was done in no time. He was very professional, courteous, honest and reliable. I am so glad I reached out to him. I highly recommend Faraz and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.Thank you Faraz! read less

The engine is typical Toyota--very reliable, works great, and we've done only basic maintenance on it through the years. A couple of years before, I had researched replacement batteries, refurbished, etc. in the eventual time that the battery will die.When our battery finally died early February 2019, we went through the "what should we buy process" and ultimately decided that we didn't want a second new car payment, and because the kids would be getting their licenses within the next couple of years, we didn't want an ultra cheap car for simply going to/from BART car. At that point we were looking at safe, reliable, soon to be high schooler used later model cars in the $12-17K range. After a couple days of looking at used car websites, rental car websites, Carvana, dealers, consumer reports, etc. etc., I got frustrated and took a fresh look at replacing the battery. (Our mechanic recommended not using a refurbished battery and also did not reco a brand new Toyota factory battery at $4-5-6K).I googled "Toyota prius replacement refurbished battery" (or something like that). I got a few listings for SF Bay Area garages. I checked out about 3-4 websites along with Google and Yelp reviews. In the reviews for "PriusHybridBatteryOfSanJose.com"--they were 5 stars, but more importantly a lot of the reviews were consistent and spoke of Faraj's customer service, his honesty, his upfront way of doing business, how the process is done, and how efficient / quick and easy it was to complete the job...and in the comfort of my own driveway (like the Safelite Windshield replacement people). And of course, the low price (a little over $1000) because I opted for the 1 year warranty (he's got 3 and 6 month warranties for significantly less cost). It's been almost 2 months (replaced Feb 5, 2019) and the car is running just fine. All the dashboard lights are off. With the 1-year replacement warranty, I know I can guarantee another year's life in my little Prius (for about $90/month vs. getting a rental car, or new used car, or Lyft rides). And if it goes an extra 1-2 more years beyond, that's just gravy and I'll just call Faraj again.I highly recommend Faraj and his son. Super nice guys with an "old-school kind of (my handshake is my word) vibe" (and he also provides receipts and written warranty).Happy customer--Dave read less

No way... So I made an appointment with Faraj to replace my battery with a refurbished one. Faraj arrived and replaced my dying battery with the refurbished one. He was very fast and offers great service. My new battery is in great condition and I am very happy to pay $760 instead of $3000 to replace my battery. You should definitely contact Faraj if you need your prius battery replaced. I highly reccomend him. 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

He also let me know that I will have to get a refurbished battery if the charge did not hold.Faraz drove to my house and replace a refurbished battery from Lexus model and so far has worked flawlessly. I have warranty for a year for the refurbish. I paid the difference for the 1st and 2nd repair. This company is honest and I enjoyed the convenience of their service. read less
