Expensive and dishonest. I went in with a check engine light, and they told me (correctly) that I needed a new catalytic converter, and I verified this with two other independent mechanics. They then quoted me $3500 for the repair, claiming that I wouldn't pass the smog test unless I bought the OEM cat (this was a lie). I asked them if it was worth it to pay the $3500, and they said yes (this was their second lie). My car itself is worth $2000 tops, with 200k miles on it. It is not even close to worth it to pay $3500 for a cat. I found out via two other mechanics that it is possible to get an aftermarket CA-approved catalytic converter that will pass smog for as cheap as $300-500. I called back to Toole's to ask if there was an aftermarket option, and the person said that there was, though it would still be $2000 (the original person I talked to claimed that there wasn't). I'm very glad that I got out of there paying only $180 for the check engine light diagnostic (also very expensive). *Edit in response to owner: No, you did know that there was a cheaper option. When I called back later, the person checked my file and said so. You simply elected not to tell me about the cheaper option up front. Dishonesty.

Toole's garage came highly recommended by my colleague, when the Audi dealership quoted me way too much for a thermostat replacement. Everyone at the shop was very knowledgeable, friendly and courteous. While they were taking look at the thermostat, they found a bunch of other stuff that needed to be fixed. It almost doubled the initial estimate that they provided but it was great that they weren't too pushy about getting everything done. I was surprised that the Audi dealership didn't find anything else wrong with my car. My car's a 2010 Audi A5 with 77k miles on it so I believe Toole's did a good thing by letting me know that fixing the other stuff right now would really help in extending the life of my car. I highly recommend Toole's and will definitely be a repeat customer.
