My daughter brought her Toyota Prius to Yarnell's because she had some leaking fluid. Yarnell's was very efficient and affordable and fixed the problem right away. We were pleased. So I decided to bring my Subaru in; I had a clutch that had been improperly installed by a different shop during prior service work, and it was very grabby/juddery in first gear. Yarnell's knew exactly what the problem was and were aware that a specific type of spacer is needed on Subaru's - it's not something that is often even documented by Subaru. But Yarnell's work on my clutch fixed the problem that the prior shop had caused and now my clutch works perfectly. The clutch pedal was incorrectly adjusted by the prior shop as well; and after getting the clutch replaced by Yarnell's I noticed that with the new clutch and the bad pedal adjustment, something didn't feel quite right. When I brought the car back to Yarnell's they were super responsive and fixed the pedal adjustment right away. While I would have wished that they had caught that the first time, I'm still very satisfied that in an imperfect world where "stuff happens", Yarnell's was able to take care of me and get everything sorted at no extra charge. I will be returning to Yarnell's after my great experiences there. (And by the way, their work was less expensive than the prior shop's bodged efforts!)

I always feel comfortable taking my 4Runner to Yarnell's. They are communicative and trustworthy about what they are doing with your vehicle. And I've always felt that I've received quality work, at a fair price. And don't be afraid of Brutus one of two, resident doggies. He only sounds scary!

They did an oil change just as promised while I waited. Also had 25K service there, just as thorough.

So happy to have found Yarnell's! I brought my Toyota CHR in for a check engine light and I was expecting some serious maintenance, which instead with diagnostics, needed to be only an oil and filter change = $86. I mean, to this unemployed person, that's a MAJOR win! Shout out to Brutus, Ed, Rick, Mike and Angelique for an incredible service and experience.

I've been using Yarnell's for nearly 15 years now and I can't believe this is the first time I'm writing a review. They're, in a word, flawless... by far the most honest and efficient car mechanics out there. Latest example - I have a 2005 Honda Odyssey that I brought in for 2 major issues. First is an electrical issue where all car instruments / dashboard turned off in the in the middle of driving - which lead me to think I have an alternator issue. I told them the symptom and even suggested to replace the alternator. Many other mechanics would have just done as I asked - but Yarnell went beyond that. They used their expert knowledge to figure out the alternator is still good. The issue turned out to be a loose connection at the battery terminals - which they just helped me tighten. $40 vs $600+.Second issue is a bad vibration while going above 60 mph while accelerating. It wasn't an easy issue to diagnose and it doesn't even seem to happen all the time. I told them again the symptom and they initially found an issue with worn-out engine mount. But before going ahead with that expensive repair ($1000+), they asked their head technician for a second opinion. Apparantly, he took it out for a drive and diagnosed it to a worn CV axle issue. Again - diagnosing the right issue and the repair cost being much cheaper ($375) than the alternative.I don't mind paying the right amount for the correct repair - the one thing I do mind is not diagnosing the right problem and/or wasting time with costly repairs. And Yarnell takes very good care not to do any of that. They diagnose the right problem (even very difficult ones) and fix it right the first time.The only thing to watch out for is they focus only on Japanese cars and don't service American cars (I'm not sure about Kia/Hyundai). So this is actually a major deciding factor for my next car - it'll likely have to be Japanese so I can keep using Yarnell.Oh lastly - they don't open on Mondays - to take care of their employees so they can work 4-day weeks. Kinda amazing - but being how efficient they are, it makes sense too.

Such a gem: theyre knowledgeable, honest and take such good care of their customers. I told them I was moving in 3 days and wanted them to lay eyes on my old camry to make sure she'd make the trip, and they were sweet enough to squeeze me in. I hope to find another mechanic as awesome! Thank you guys ?

We have been relying on them to maintain an aging Lexus and an aging Toyota for many years. They have prompt, friendly, and have charged reasonable rates.

Most reliable service, very knowledgeable and prompt and honest opinion. We had a major issue with engine oil on Prius n Authorized service centres had no appointments and costing a bomb, Yarnell inspite of being very busy took up immediately and fixed at a very nominal charge of $97 only. I would highly recommend this service centre.

We can’t say enough nice things about Yarnell’s! We were a week away from moving out of state when our alternator went out. The dealership wanted to charge us almost 3 times as much as we were quoted by a couple trusted mechanics we talked to. Our usual shop couldn’t fit us in until after our move date, but Yarnell’s went above and beyond and got us all fixed up with just days to spare. We were SO THANKFUL and amazed by their kindness and expertise. We made it safely to our new home 1000 miles away, but I’d gladly drive that distance to have them service our vehicle again. Great mechanics AND great people!

I have received expert and friendly service at Yarnell’s for three decades and they continue to be top notch, and a pleasure to work with.
