I am so impressed with their knowledge & customer service! They drove to my house to grab my hybrid battery and brought it back and installed it! Went out of their way to give me informed answers regarding my car and even drove around with me to make sure everything is working! Hands down recommend Motorcells!

Was able to get my hybrid battery replaced for 1/4th of the dealer estimate and battery is working great. They also went above and beyond solving a safety problem with my back seat that was discovered in the course of replacing the battery.

When Toyota wanted 3700 for a battery replacement I had to look elsewhere. Chad was able to come to my house, install the new battery same day and under 1000 dollars. All the dash lights have been reset and the car runs like new even with 200k miles on it.

Chat Donnell diagnosed and replaced the faulty hybrid battery of my 2005 Prius with a refurbished battery very quickly and with high quality. He explained all details of the process which was very interesting and helpful. Highly recommended! You save a lot of money as opposed to letting Toyota replace the battery with a new one.

Great experience, great price and great convenience. They got us in quickly and came to us for the battery replacement- for a fraction of the price of a dealer. Highly recommend!

We highly recommend Motorcells for work on electric battery powered cars, given how knowledgeable, helpful, fairly priced, and honest Chad was.We brought our 2013 Honda Civic Hybrid to Chad at Motorcells when various warning lights popped up, since our regular mechanic doesn't work with hybrid batteries. He identified the inverter as the issue and told us there were service bulletins for the inverter online for our car. The exact issue with the inverter would have to be identified by a dealer though, so as he advised, we went to a dealer. Chad quoted us a price in case the quote from the dealer was considerably higher, breaking down the costs.He didn't try to cheat us by charging us for a new inverter and installing it; he was honest about what was in our best interest. He also shared quite a bit of information about hybrid cars with us, an enthusiast for sure.The Honda dealer installed a new inverter covered by an extended warranty due to the service bulletin (which is was nice to know about ahead of time thanks to Chad) and then all the diagnostic codes cleared.We also have a Honda CRV for which the engine light had come on, and since we were there (we had really come for the civic), Chad kindly diagnosed the problem as just being a clip on a cover inside the car hood. He reattached the clip and the engine codes cleared.If we have any issues in the future, we'll bring our car back to Motorcells.

Great to work with & fast service as well. Saved me a lot of money getting the refurb op so hopefully it'll last more than a year.

Chad and Tim were great to work with. Simple and easy to schedule and get the work done and both had a ton of knowledge and information to share. I highly recommend Motorcells.

Could not recommend this service more! Had my beloved 2006 Prius' hybrid battery die on me and the dealership wanted almost 3x as much as Motorcells charged. Little did I know I would also get ABOVE AND BEYOND customer service. Chad communicated promptly, explained everything so I didn't feel in the dark, leant me a car while mine was being serviced, and had my Prius running better than ever in an hour. Yes, you're getting a refurbished battery instead of a new, but the warranty is the same; it makes total sense for an older car. Highly recommend!

I owe these guys my complete gratitude. Very responsive and great customer service. They even drove two hours to replace my hybrid battery. Not to mention the great warranty they offered me, as well as saving me from the ridiculous price Toyota quoted me. I will be seeing them again if I have any issues, but hopefully that won't happen. Thanks!

Chad provided quick efficient service and is a great guy all around. I felt like I was having my best friend over for a huge favor! Excellent pricing, I saved over 4000 dollars! Vs Toyota’s ridiculous quote!
