I brought my 2023 GR Corolla to AutoNation Toyota for a recurring cylinder 2 misfire, and while the entire process took about one month from drop-off to pick-up, I’m thankful for how it was handled.<br><br>My service advisor, Natasha, worked hard to get Toyota Goodwill approval to cover the cost of the short block and parts which was a huge help considering the scale of the repair. Communication had its ups and downs at times, mostly because the technician had to go back and forth with Toyota corporate for verification at every step, which understandably slowed things down.<br><br>That said, the quality of the repair was excellent. Big shoutout to Cesar Quintero, my technician, who not only replaced the short block but also had the cylinder head tested and reconditioned. He clearly took pride in doing the job right, and it shows — the car feels solid and smooth now.<br><br>Thanks also to Gabriel, who supported the process and kept things moving. If you’re dealing with a complex issue, this team has the experience and care to handle it right, even if it takes time.<br><br>Update:<br><br>I originally left a positive review after my GR Corolla had its engine replaced at AutoNation Toyota of Irvine in April 2025. My advisor worked hard to get Toyota Goodwill to cover the parts, and I paid nearly $3,700 in labor for the job. At first, I thought the repair was solid.<br><br>Unfortunately, when I later brought the car to an independent shop for clutch service, they found serious workmanship problems from the dealer’s repair: several critical bolts in the drivetrain had been left loose or damaged. The shop had to replace the hardware, resurface parts, and reassemble everything correctly at my expense.<br><br>When I raised this with Toyota of Irvine, they told me they would not cover any of the corrective work because I hadn’t towed the car back to them. Given the severity of the mistakes, I did not feel safe returning to the same dealer that caused them in the first place.<br><br>It’s frustrating: the staff were polite and helpful during the process, but the actual quality control and accountability fell far short of what I expect from a Toyota dealership. If you need major engine or drivetrain work done here, I strongly recommend having a trusted shop double-check everything afterward.

Alex is truly exceptional. From start to finish, he was professional, calm, and incredibly kind. You can immediately tell he genuinely cares about the people he’s helping, not just the job itself. He communicated clearly, stayed patient throughout the process, and made everything feel seamless during a stressful time.<br><br>His integrity, attentiveness, and positive attitude really stand out. AutoNation Toyota Irvine is lucky to have someone like Alex representing them. We’re beyond grateful for his support and would absolutely trust him again.
