Electron Automotive

Absolutely the best place for a hybrid battery! After doing some homework plus watching some YouTube videos. The brand new cylinder hybrid battery is the way to go for my Generation 3 Prius. Great price, service, and my high mpgs are back. No more P0A80 code.

Walk into the shop, and they answered all my questions. Like warranty, power core refund, etc. I placed an order and waited less than a week for them to get it ready. Once I got the new hybrid battery, it took me 2-3 hours, and that's it. Test drove and check for code. Did one reset and back in business smooth sailing. 10 of 10 customer service, product and they work on all type of cars as well. Highly recommend and thank you, Electron Automotive!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This place deserves 10 stars, not 5. The service I received while replacing my hybrid battery was absolutely exceptional. I worked primarily with Christian and he was amazing to work with. if you’re looking to change your hybrid battery this is the place you want to work with. Thanks again everyone at Electron!

Electron surpassed my expectations with their outstanding customer service during a recent tire change. Joe’s knowledge and friendliness made the experience seamless. He went above and beyond, explaining tire options, ensuring I was well-informed. Quick service, attention to detail, and fair pricing make Electron my go-to for automotive needs. Highly recommended for a hassle-free and positive experience.

I had the dreaded EV Hybrid P0A80 Code (Replace Hybrid Battery Pack). I began to look on the internet and YouTube. Several places recommend Electron Hybrid Solutions as the best with their cylindrical cells. I called the shop and spoke with Jose. He answered all of my many many questions. Their pricing was very good even for the improved cells. After asking what installation would cost would be, I felt that it was low enough that I didn't want to do it myself and risk messing something up. They were very accommodating with my schedule. Once they had my vehicle they ran a very comprehensive test and made recommendations. The car was completed on time. I would highly recommend this business for all Hybrid related services. They know their stuff

I don't usually write reviews, but I am writing one because I love these guys! I completely trust them to take good care of my Prius. Every time I go for an inspection, they email me a comprehensive list of the things they checked, along with the status of each item accompanied by a photo. They always take the time to explain to me why they are recommending certain services, and engage my curiosity to learn more about my car! I never feel rushed or pressured to do things -- unless it is actually urgent, in which case they alert me to the issue calmly and without "scare tactics".

If I could give them 10 stars, I would! I'm so glad I found them because they know my hybrid vehicle so well. Car maintenance previously felt like a stressful experience for me, but when I get my car checked out by them, I know I'll get a honest assessment and effective work. It's a joy to support them, too.

As an aside, I had a custom "cat cage" (protective cage for my catalytic converter) installed by them more than a year ago, after my catalytic converter was stolen for the first time. No issues since then and I park on the street often in Downtown LA. It has given me such peace of mind. I recommend everyone with a Prius to get something like that installed, and these guys are the best.

Amazing business with amazing people! My 08 Prius was completely dead and I had to get it towed here. I've had so many problems with this car and I didn't know where to go. Early next morning they had a detailed list of everything wrong with my car and told me specifically what I needed to get it running again. The prices are affordable and the work experience far exceeds anything you'd find anywhere else. If your car (especially a hybrid) needs some work, do not hesitate to come here. They will take care of all your needs. All the people here are very easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about hybrids. The customer service is out of this world! It's amazing here. 10/10 would recommend.

Best spot for repair to my Honda EV/Hyrbid vehicle that I know in the OC! Hands down. Straight to the point, does a detailed inspection report on your vehicle, and thoroughly informs the driver of all issues noticed on vehicle. Prioritizes the right repairs at the right time, and no unecessary extra stuff. Awesome staff too, totally clutch for my car! Thanks Electron! 👊🏾👊🏾💯💯💯

I am always happy with the service at Electron Automotive. They do a great job and are reasonably priced. Christian and Jose are great and kept me updated throughout the whole process. We will keep coming back for all of our cars needs. Thanks Electron Automotive!!!

I got a NEW cylindrical cell battery from Electron Automotive for my 2012 Prius, and I love it! Their customer service was excellent and the battery itself works even better than I imagined.
I swapped the batteries myself; it took about an hour to remove the old one and another hour to install the new one the next day.
I avoided the core charge by dropping off the old battery at the same time I picked up the new one since I live about 45 minutes from the shop. You should call to ask about this before ordering online because I couldn't add the item to my online cart unless I checked the box for the extra core charge. They ended up taking my order over the phone.
My full tank range went from about 375 miles to 560. I can also run the AC full blast while parked for about 6 or 7 minutes before the gas engine kicks on. I can feel the extra power, too.

As always, truthful and thorough diagnosis of my 2005 Prius’ current condition, and knowledgeable discussion so that I understand the estimate of the work to be performed, and schedule of service.

The entire experience from ordering to calling customer service with questions was so nice and incredibly easy. They called to make sure the year/model we had before shipping the battery. Their emails made it easy to complete the warranty form and keep everything organized. The battery was very well packaged and their instructions online for how to unpack it/repack the old one were very detailed. I must have called customer service several times and the person I spoke with was always so nice and helped answer my questions or transferred me right away to someone who could. They even helped me arrange UPS pickup for the old battery since it was so too heavy to take in our car. And as soon as they received our package, we immediately got our rebate for the recycling add-on we purchased. The dealership near us was going to charge over twice as much to make this repair, but I was so grateful that we were able to purchase it on our own and do it ourselves. We have two priuses so if the other one ever needs this repair, we'll definitely order again from Electron!

I bought a New Hybrid Battery Rebuild Kit for my 2007 Prius. They shipped the modules via USPS Priority Mail, and I received them much faster than expected, ~3 days after ordering. I rebuilt the battery myself, which took several hours for the whole job, but was not difficult. Their instructional videos were excellent! I shipped the old cores back and received the full core refund within the week. I'm very happy with how the new battery is performing and am getting better mileage than ever (bought the car used 2 years ago).

i had a good experience and the staff was professional, during my visit. I had my hybrid battery replaced with 3 yrs warranty with cost half of what dealer charged. This review 3 months after services, and still run great.

About 2 weeks ago my Chevy Volt broke down, so I had it towed to a Chevy dealer who told me that I had a broken transmission. The cost of a transmission from them was more than my Volt is worth, so I started looking around for a new car to buy because I wasn't going to replace the transmission. Then I thought it would be good to get a 2nd opinion, so I towed the car to Electron Automotive. A few days later they called me and said not only is my transmission not broken, but it was actually in really good shape. The problem was that I had a broken CV joint, which is a much cheaper fix. In fact I ended up paying less than 10% of what the dealership quoted me for a new transmission. Since I saved a ton of money by not having to buy a new car, I decided to let Electron also do a few other maintenance things on my Volt. Both Christian and Jose were very nice and kept me updated on how the work was going. I picked up my car from then today and it's running perfectly. I couldn't be more happy with this place and I'II definitely be back if I have any other issues with my car. I'm very glad everyone at this shop is honest, unlike the Chevy dealer I went to. Thank you, Electron Automotive!! You guys are the real MVPs.

Top of their game, the crew here takes their time to discuss the problem with the car and provide you with solutions towards repairs. Will come back for future needs. Thanks you.

Whole experience was great. Joe was very thorough and explained everything well. Everyone was friendly. Would definitely recommend this place to others.

Electron Automotive was honestly the best company I've dealt with in forever. From amazingly responsive customer service, lightning fast shipping, crystal clear step-by-step video instruction to super helpful tech support, they were spot on. Replaced our old prismatic cells with new cylindrical cells and our Prius is back in business with more power and better mileage. Will be our first call when our other Prius needs a new battery.

My car stopped moving on the 405 and I was told by another shop it was my Chevy Volt's transmission that stopped working. They said I need a new one and it would cost over $7k. I have a 2012 Volt, which is not worth much more than that used (it's a salvage title). I did not want to sell my car or go through the process of buying a new (to me) car. The other shop found me a used transmission for $4.5k and a 90 day (!!) warranty-which is not enough of a guarantee if you're paying that much money. Electron not only had enough knowledge to reassure me that a Chevy Volt should be worth many more miles, but also found me a cheaper used part with a 3 year warranty. The first part they got for me was not up to their quality standards, so they rejected it and got a new one. Their communication and transparency, and frankly, customer service, throughout this process was amazing. I would recommend to anyone!

The people at Electron are very knowledgeable about all things hybrid and electric and are super friendly. You can tell that they really care about you as a customer, and they are honest with you about what your car actually needs instead of just adding on unnecessary repairs. I have had a very good experiences with them overall!

This is hands down the best Auto mechanic that I have ever used. Incredible customer service and attention to details. My prius c would intermittently fail at start up and was becoming extremely unreliable. I had already taken it to 2 different shops to try to remedy the issue but they wouldn't even look into possible issues because it started for them. I brought my car in to Electron and got a detailed car investigation with pictures and descriptions of everything going on with my car. They found the problem and fixed it right away.

Also they were extremely respectful. As a small women who had been talked down to at every mechanic I have gone to (even being asked if I knew how to start my car....I wish I was kidding) Every interaction was very understanding, respectful and kind.

I absolutely will be returning for any of my car issues going forward.
