Matthew C., 5-Star Review - Hoover Street Auto Repair
"There is nothing more telling than a positive review of a business that did nothing more than be incredibly honest, genuine, and helpful. That is precisely why I’m giving a shout-out to Hoover Street Auto and Cody, in particular. Bravo. Our old Toyota minivan is nearing the end of its life, but I wanted to ensure it was safe for my son, a recent Michigan graduate, to drive. At other shops, including the dealership, all we heard about was fees, possible repair costs, and how busy they were. People were short and uninterested. Cody and Hoover Auto were different. Cody asked thoughtful questions about the car, driving practices, and expectations for keeping the vehicle. The team dug into the problems, provided a comprehensive report, and even double-checked other issues. They kept the car overnight, tested it on the highway the next morning, and Cody called me personally with his thoughts. Most strikingly, he was honest enough to say the possible repairs might not solve the problem, a first for me. Ultimately, we decided to save the money for a down payment on a newer car. Not only did we spend nothing on the diagnosis, but Cody refused payment for all the time he spent texting and calling me. Few businesses operate like Hoover Auto. I dread dealing with repair shops, but I’ve found one I can trust, and I will return when I need help again. Cody, thank you for your time, patience, honesty, and willingness to simply listen and talk about an old car. Since you refused to accept any payment, I’m sharing my gratitude here for others to see."

Toyota Wins Vehicle Reliability Awards
The J.D. Power U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) ranks automotive brands based on the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles after three years of ownership.

They were frequently a top-three mass-market auto brand, ranking 1st in the mass-market segment in 2024 and 3rd in 2025.
Even though Toyota vehicles are highly reliable, they still need regular maintenance. Your Toyota will provide many years of reliable transportation if you follow the recommended service schedule.
Factory Warranty Requirements
Our work meets Toyota's scheduled service warranty requirements. With our 24-month/24,000-mile parts and labor guarantee, we stand behind our work.
Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975 - Federal Law prohibits any Toyota dealer from implying or denying routine warranty service because scheduled routine maintenance was performed at an independent facility. Title 15, Chapter 50, Sections 2301-2312, U.S. Federal Code.

John A., 5-Star Review - Hoover Street Auto Repair
"I took my 2011 Toyota Prius into Hoover Street Auto Repair and had the best experience I could have expected out of an auto repair shop. I knew there were engine issues on my vehicle that needed to be fixed, but I did not know the extent or the potential cost. Within a day, the team took my vehicle and did an extremely thorough inspection. I received clear communication throughout the process, which helped me feel at ease during the inspection. They provided a detailed report that clearly indicated which repairs were necessary, including pictures and key feedback. The costs quoted for the repairs were reasonable based on comparable services I had been quoted elsewhere. While I ultimately decided to get rid of the vehicle due to the age of the vehicle, I wouldn't hesitate to bring any future vehicles here for my auto repairs."

Recommended Toyota Maintenance Services
To get the most life and reliability from your Toyota, we recommend these common services:
Auto Air Conditioning Repair
Nothing ruins a summer drive in Ann Arbor faster than a Toyota air conditioner blowing warm air. Our ASE-certified technicians test refrigerant levels, check for leaks, and inspect the compressor on every Toyota model to restore cold air quickly and affordably. A working air conditioning system also helps keep windows defrosted and free of fog during humid weather and winter driving, improving visibility and safety. An annual A/C inspection can catch a small refrigerant leak before it damages the compressor. Be cool! Come to Hoover Street Auto Repair for Toyota Air Conditioning Repair in Ann Arbor.
Battery Replacement
A weak or failing battery can leave your Toyota stranded on a cold Ann Arbor morning or during a hot summer commute. Our technicians test your battery and charging system together, since a bad alternator can quickly wear out even a brand new battery. We install the correct battery for your specific Toyota model, whether it is a Corolla, Highlander, or Prius hybrid, and clean or replace corroded terminals that cause hard starting. Most Toyota batteries last three to five years depending on driving habits and weather, so ask us for a battery test during your next visit. Visit Hoover Street Auto Repair for a high-energy Toyota Battery Replacement in Ann Arbor.
Brake Repair
Squealing, grinding, or a soft brake pedal on your Toyota should never be ignored. Hoover Street Auto Repair inspects brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid on every Toyota model, from a compact Corolla to a full-size Sequoia, and provides a clear estimate before any work begins. We offer same-day brake service for most repairs, so you are not left without your vehicle for long. Catching worn brake components early protects your rotors from costly damage and keeps your family safe on Ann Arbor roads, especially during slippery winter conditions. Grind and squeal your way into Hoover Street Auto Repair for high-value Toyota Brake Repair in Ann Arbor
Charging System and Alternator Repair
Your Toyota's alternator keeps the battery charged and powers every electrical system while you drive. A failing alternator often shows up as dim headlights, a battery warning light, or a car that struggles to start after sitting overnight - the type of problems that get worse during Ann Arbor's cold winter months when heaters, air conditioners, defrosters, seat warmers, and headlights all draw extra power at the same time. Our technicians test the alternator, battery, and starter together to confirm the true cause before recommending a charging system repair, so you are not paying for parts you do not need. Escape the darkness with a Charging System Repair in Ann Arbor at Hoover Street Auto Repair.
Check Engine Light Repair
A check engine light on your Toyota dashboard can mean anything from a loose gas cap to a failing oxygen sensor or ignition coil. Our ASE-certified technicians use professional scan tools to pinpoint the exact cause on your Camry, RAV4, or any other Toyota model, so repairs are accurate the first time instead of guesswork. Ignoring the light can let a small issue turn into an expensive repair or an emissions test failure. If your Toyota's check engine light comes on and stays on, or begins flashing, call us for a proper diagnostic scan. Solve the mystery of your check engine light problem. Visit Hoover Street Auto Repair for check engine light repair in Ann Arbor.
Cooling System Repair
Overheating is one of the most damaging problems a Toyota engine can face, and Ann Arbor's hot, humid summers put extra strain on radiators, water pumps, and thermostats. Hoover Street Auto Repair inspects your entire cooling system, tests for leaks, and refills coolant with the manufacturer-specified fluid for your Toyota model. We also check heater performance before winter arrives, since a failing heater core can leave you without warm air or a clear windshield during Michigan snowstorms. Chill out with Hoover Street Auto Repair's Cooling System Repair in Ann Arbor
Dashboard Warning Light Repair
Modern Toyota vehicles use a network of warning lights, including ABS, traction control, stability control, and tire pressure lights, to alert you to specific problems before they become serious. Hoover Street Auto Repair diagnoses each warning light on your Toyota's dashboard and explains what it means in plain language before recommending a repair. A low tire pressure warning is especially common in Ann Arbor's cold winter months, when tire pressure drops along with the temperature. Dash into Hoover Street Auto Repair for brilliant Dashboard Warning Light Repair in Ann Arbor.
Engine Oil and Filter Change
Regular oil changes are the single best way to protect your Toyota's engine and get the most miles out of it. Whether you drive a Camry, Corolla, RAV4, or Tacoma, Hoover Street Auto Repair uses the correct Toyota-specified oil and filter for your engine, so your factory warranty stays intact. Ann Arbor's hot summers and cold winters put extra strain on engine oil, so we recommend a synthetic oil change every 7,500 miles or twice a year for most Toyota models. Every oil change includes a free courtesy inspection so small problems get caught early. Slip and slide into Hoover Street Auto Repair for an Oil change service in Ann Arbor.
Starter Repair
If your Toyota clicks, cranks slowly, or will not start at all, the starter, battery, or a related electrical component may be at fault. Cold Ann Arbor mornings are especially hard on starter motors, since cold, thick oil makes the engine harder to turn over. Our Toyota repair technicians test the entire starting system, including the battery, ignition switch, and starter motor, to find the actual cause instead of replacing parts by trial and error. Whether you drive a Toyota Corolla or a Tundra pickup, we use quality replacement starters to get you back on the road quickly. Crank up your starter and make your way to Hoover Street Auto Repair for Starting problem repair in Ann Arbor
Steering Repair
A Toyota that pulls to one side, feels heavy to turn, or makes noise when you steer may have a power steering or rack-and-pinion problem. Hoover Street Auto Repair inspects the steering pump, hoses, and tie rods on every Toyota model, from a Yaris to a 4Runner, and repairs leaks or worn components before they affect handling and safety. Worn tie rods can throw off your alignment and cause uneven tire wear, so do not wait to have a steering concern inspected, especially before winter driving season begins. Steer your way into Hoover Street Auto Repair for Steering Repair in Ann Arbor
Suspension Repair
Ann Arbor's potholes and frost heaves are hard on any vehicle's suspension, and a worn strut, shock, or ball joint can make your Toyota bounce, clunk, or handle unpredictably. Hoover Street Auto Repair inspects shocks, struts, control arm bushings, and sway bar links on Toyota cars, SUVs, and trucks, and repairs worn components before they cause uneven tire wear or a safety hazard. Schedule a suspension inspection before winter potholes take a toll on your Toyota. Visit Hoover Street Auto Repair for quality, high-value Suspension Repair in Ann Arbor.
Timing Belt Replacement
Many Toyota engines use a timing belt that must be replaced on schedule, typically between 60,000 and 100,000 miles depending on your model. There is no way to visually inspect remaining timing belt life, and a broken belt usually causes serious engine damage and a costly tow. Hoover Street Auto Repair replaces the timing belt along with the water pump, tensioner, and related pulleys in one visit, since labor is the largest part of the job and doing it all at once saves you money later. Ask us to look up the exact interval for your Toyota. Speak to Hoover Street Auto Repair for Toyota Timing Belt Replacement in Ann Arbor.
Auto Tune-Up Service
A rough-running engine, poor fuel mileage, or occasional misfire in your Toyota often points to worn spark plugs, a dirty fuel system, or an ignition problem. Our ASE-certified technicians start every tune-up with a full computer diagnostic and inspection of the battery, fuel, and ignition systems, so you only pay for the parts and service your Toyota actually needs. Following your Toyota's factory-recommended maintenance schedule keeps performance and fuel economy strong through Ann Arbor's hot summers and cold winters alike. Get your Toyota to run like a dream with Hoover Street Auto Repair's Tune-Up Service in Ann Arbor.
Wheel Alignment
If your Toyota pulls to one side, the steering wheel sits off center, or your tires are wearing unevenly, a wheel alignment can fix the problem and protect your tire investment. Michigan's winter roads and pothole season are especially hard on alignment, so we recommend checking alignment every spring. We use computerized alignment equipment to measure toe, camber, and caster on all four wheels of your Toyota, whether it is a Corolla sedan or a RAV4 crossover. Pull into Hoover Street Auto Repair and get your wheels on the straight and narrow with a Toyota Wheel Alignment in Ann Arbor.
