Called to ask about an oil change—apparently that was too difficult. The person on the phone didn’t know (about their own service!) and hung up without a word. If that’s how they handle a basic question, I’d hate to see how they handle your car. Unprofessional, unqualified, and uninterested—this shop is a warning sign, not a service center.

SCAM SCAM SCAM!!!! DO NOT GO TO THEM!!! This shop is use their name to scam people. We got our car for them to fix, they start to tell you, you need a full maintenance and that's part of the troubleshooting, telling you need to replace spark plugs, engine oil, then they purposely break some parts and tell you you have to pay for the new part in order for them to continue the fix. (I should know it, because they did the same thing on my other car.) After few extra charges, they start asking for more, and we when we ask did the problem get fixed, they said no, you have to get this one more part replaced to be able to get the fix done. Since we already got tricked twice, we denied and pick up our car, and they purposely made original problem worse. And that's already $2000 gone. We went to a different shop, and they found nothing was done for the so called "full maintenance", spark plugs was burned, engine oil still dark etc. And the so called "last part" to fix the problem, which is not the problem itself. And to fix everything I paid $900 from a different shop which worth every penny. You've been warned, DON'T EVER GO TO THEM!!!!

Fairly good auto shop. Service was great but had to wait quite a while. Repair cost is reasonable.

So my step daughter had gone to this shop today 2/2/24. The owner of the shop is Joey Tai. She brought her jeep there regarding to battery issues. At the same time, she was looking to purchase 4 new tires. She got a price for the 4 tires, installation with wheel balance at $1500! That's insane!! Mind you these tires were OEM tires and not "monster" tires as you see in these crazy truck shows. She had no issues with alignment, which is the only thing that could make the price that much. All that she needed was just 4 new tires. So she told the guy she could not afford that, and kindly ask if she could buy the tires at another place like Costco’s or BJ’s. Then have him install it for her, hoping that would make this more affordable for herself. She had heard through her mom in the past that they have good deals from time to time and it would be worth looking into. So the owner, Joey Tai ask one of his workers “would you buys tires at Costco’s or BJs?” The worker said “hell no!” to my step daughter. Then my step daughter in humorous way responded to the owner, well he’s not going to disagree with you. “You’re his boss” in a kind amicable way. The owner Joey Tai had the audacity to scream at her in front of his workers stating that she is the type of person to stoop low and make that sort of comment because she is that type of person “a liar and low life”. OK! Well first off this is completely unprofessional and non- Christian, especially for one who calls himself a reborn Christian with a business name “Hallelujah Praise the Lord”!!! My step daughter was shocked and hurt. She responded “I never or implied you were a liar, so why would you say that to me. I’ve known and been coming to you for car repairs for 20 years” She paid her bill for whatever battery issues and left the premises. Now is this how you treat a long time customer? This is the most non-professional, disrespectful, and in-courteous way to be with a long time customer. OH praise the Lord that I was not there!! SMH!! I highly suggest everyone or anyone to get your cars service elsewhere. He is an overrated and overpriced so call mechanic /technician.

They did my photo inspection, I can’t get my report until I realize they put 2 digits of my VIN wrong, so I called wondering if they can fix it. The person pick up the phone said “Not a big deal, this is life, come back do it again” with such an attitude, and hang me off. I’m not even asking him to apologize cuz they obviously cause me inconvenience, but as least be respectful for their work and customers.

Very thankful for Mechanic Joseph the owner. 8 AM I got that weird signal on my dashboard that the oil and the engine had issues and there was that wrench sign all red. I texted my spouse and thought it was routine. By 5:30 PM. The car was shaking and making strange sounds. We were with our friends, I showed her the photo of my dashboard, and she told me the same thing happened to her and her whole car engine shrivelled up and died. The oil was leaking somehow. I called my regular mechanic and he wasn't picking up and my friend told me to go to her mechanic. And Mechanic Joseph actually picked up the phone. He said if you can come over in the next ten minutes. Joseph's assistant told me to just wait in the waiting room which had air condition and he will be right back. Don't worry. I just want to say that the car was dying fast and I didn't know what was going on. I was grateful that this was resolved and the Mechanic Joseph fixed it for me. The prices were reasonable for the work which was done after hours. I really appreciate all the help. Thank you for saving our Mini.

Love it, Love Joseph, Love Hallelujah! I have been here for 3+ years for my Camry 92'. The place is so clean that even a girl won't be afraid to go in. Joseph is very knowledgeable , efficient and super multi- tasking. His quotes are very reasonable, let you know the procs and cons, make the best choice for you , not only about him making the money. He understand that sometimes we have to come early or come back late due to office hours, he is willing to work around with your schedule for you to pick up the car. All employees are polite, respect the customers and Respect your cars. Joseph has a hot tempered from time to time because he wants to do the best and get the cars ready to us. Some people might find it intimidating but throughout my experience, he is a very honest and true person.

I have been going here for years with my 2005 Honda Pilot because they are honest about their work. They keep a great log profile and tells you what you really need fix now and what can wait later. Definitely not the typical auto shop place that is after your wallet. My car is still running strong!

I was visit there two time. I am the first time customer on day ago. Just request him to find out, do I need to replace my brake. But he told I don't need to do anything for that. I think he is the guy that I can trust. Some of the repair men may just replace the brake and say nothing. I go back to the shop today for my other car. Request for motor oil change and transmission oil change. Price is little more than I expect, but I was accept it. My car didn't doing any major repair yet. I can't found out how was the job Quality for them, but I sure Joey is the nice guy and he is the people we can trust. Hallelujah Praise the Lord !!!

I've known Joey the owner for over 16 years and I also worked for him when I was very young. Yes a super trustworthy guy. Very,very honest and straight forward. He uses oem parts from the dealer unless you request aftermarket. He treats his crew like family. I now take my vehicles to him for service and have never had any issues. They not only do auto mechanic work but have a full auto body facility as well.

My husband has gone here for years. I have just begun coming here. Joseph is honest, reliable and knowledgeable. He listens very carefully to any car issues you may have, and will double check with you on things to confirm. Their services are affordable and quick, and they use quality parts. Also a plus -- in their receipts, they also separate "parts" and "labor" so you can clearly tell what cost what.

So much for ‘praising the lord’ if these people are so unprofessional and impolite to their customers. I have brought my car there for years. Last time I was overpriced more than $15 for a usual service of theirs. But I figured to give them another chance. Recently I call inquiring about the price of another service. Usually I deal with a pleasant woman, but today I rude man picked up, sarcastically telling me the charge will be ‘4 MILLION DOLLARS’ and continued to smart mouth off. That was it. Congratulations you managed to push away one of your regular customers. Hallelujah!

I took my car there before, pricing is not reasonable. I changed my front wheels and some small fixes, I ended up paying $1800+. The owner (Joe) shouted at me just because I asked him some questions and he said he's too busy. How arrogant he is! Unbelievable! I wouldn't go this place again.

BEWARE! I agree with all the negative reviews, there's nothing Hallejah or Parisewothty about this repair shop, Don't be fooled by the name, the owner is TOXIC, unprofessional and I witnessed 1st hand how he degrades his employees and talks down to customers, there is nothing christian or holy about this place, expect to get Nickle and Dimed to death with extra charges, its all about the money for Joseph(Joey Tai), stay away from this shop if you don't want to get ripped off!!!!

Hallelujah Praise the Lord Automotive is the best! For over 13 years, I have and continue to use Joey to maintain all my vehicles. He has always been straight forward on what was best for the performance of the vehicle and safety for my family. He has kept my vehicles operating safely and efficiently all year long. I highly recommend Hallelujah Praise the Lord Automotive and their staff to anyone looking for an experienced and certified mechanic who truly cares about people. Thanks Joey!!
