“Stars at E & B Auto RepairFor over 40 years (!), Mike Margulis has been a fixture in Ft. Bragg CA for honest, personable, competent auto service. Just this week, as we are locals, Mike and Eric did an excellent 3K service on our '05 Toyota Sienna. But just two days ago, our barely two year old hybrid Highlander mysteriously wouldn't start after having visited the eye doctor, barking out weird error messages about the "brakes not getting enough power" (strange since the car was off). With remarkable luck, we were two blocks from E & B, trotted over and within two minutes Eric joined us to repair the mysteriously comatose (otherwise terrific) car. Within 15 minutes Eric had figured out the ONLY problem was my wife had slightly discharged the battery, using the accessory option to make a 15 minute phone call. Who knew the 12V capacity was not robust against a robust "accessory" discharge?Turns out the brakes were fine and this was simply the default message whenever the 12V can't power the complex electronics. I have written to Toyota and complained their software should be fixed, simply identifying a low battery, which I could have repaired myself with my lithium backup. In any case, the timing fit perfectly, Eric was between jobs and he could not have been more efficient or clearly focused, even though new Highlanders were not a daily challenge. But he quickly understood the big picture. The result: the non-problem was fixed and we charged the battery on the way home - disaster averted (except for the reasonable minimum cost. And I have requested Toyota should reimburse, per Mike's good suggestion). All in all, hats off to E & B - for top service, perfectly timed delivery, and of course their permanent good cheer and friendliness. Thanks, guys, for saving us because our supposedly brilliant new car (and it is) couldn't simply inform us our battery had been slightly drained and needed recharge. RBecker”
