Jack at Gasket Masters in Hayward is the real deal. He worked on my 2010 Prius and did an excellent job. Super friendly, honest, and straightforward about the entire service plan—no runaround or upselling, just clear communication and solid work. You can tell he genuinely knows his stuff and cares about doing it right. I really appreciated how trustworthy and upfront he was throughout the process. Highly recommend him to anyone needing Prius repairs!

I absolutely recommend Gasket Masters. My 2024 Toyota Prius started shaking upon starting last week. I took it to the Toyota dealership and unfortunately it was a blown head gasket. These are extremely expensive repairs as they have to completely remove the entire engine to replace it. Toyota quoted me more than 5K for the repair. I called several other local places and they weren't much cheaper. Offering to provide more services for the same price, but still around 5K. Thankfully I came upon "Gasket Masters" in Hayward. Jack runs this place himself. He is extremely knowledgeable and told me exactly what was going on and quoted me a very reasonable price (less than half what Toyota wanted to charge). He also said he could get it done in around 24 hours. Much faster than some other places that said it could be up to a week. I'm so glad to have my car back and fixed. If you have a head gasket issue, take it here. He has a 1 year warranty on any repairs he does. It's 5 stars from me!

What a great experience! We had a blown head gasket and a bent piston rod on our daughter's 2011 Prius, and Jack had is repaired in 24 hours, at a very reasonable price, with great communication all the way through. Super professional. Highly recommended.

Jack is the go to guy for Toyota head gasket repair! Not only does he do a great job of breaking down complex concepts, he walked though the failure points on these engines and the necessary work to beef them up. I really appreciate his honesty, integrity, and value the research and quality of parts he used as well. Thanks again!

Jack was great, him and his team got my Lexus ct200h up and running after a failed head gasket within a day. Price was fair and job well done. Would recommend!

At about 123,000 miles, our 2014 Prius started to shudder and mis-fire on startup which then went away after engine got hot. Classic case of the head gasket leaking fluid into one or more cylinders. (When the engine gets hot, it heats the gasket and seals it again.) I spoke with Jack a couple of times by telephone before taking it in to him - he was friendly and helpful. When I took it in, he did the work promptly and held to the fair price he quoted me at the outset. He also advised that, fortunately, there was no damage to the piston rod. (Coolant doesn't compress like fuel....) This car doesn't get a lot of mileage, but I've had no problem since. Happy to have the work done, happy to have it done by them.

I had my 2011 Prius fixed by Jack in Hayward. I rarely write reviews but this guy deserves one for sure. If you have a Prius with a head gasket issue there should be no reason to shop around. My car was a special case. Jack told me that the symptoms my car had were commiserate with a totally blown engine. One of my rods was bent, from a straight line from 6-12 to angled to about 12-8 with a twist. Jack figured it all out!!! Great dude, honest and hard working. Can’t say enough good things. Thanks Jack

Jack was incredibly helpful. Went above and beyond to get me fixed up and on the road by the time I needed it, at a killer price. Highly recommended to anyone with a busted head gasket!

This is for the shop in Hayward. Owner seems to talk out the other end that's not his mouth a lot. Takes forever to work on my Prius. You've lost a customer and will never recommend this business to anyone.
