Default Independent Autoshop in Torrance ,CA.

My 1999 GS300 is way beyond 90K service, I need a reputable independent
autoshop that specialize in Lexus/Toyota that can service GS/timing belt
& some related parts here in TORRANCE, CA. Can anybody point me to right direction or knew where I can find one.

Thanks

Eric at The Toy Shop is great. He used to be really involved in the import scene before he got married and had kids. He had a pretty sick supra back in the days. Shige's Foreign Car Service in Gardena is also great. Ask for John K. He's done all my automotive work for the past 10 years and is great. ASE Master Mechanic under the age of 30. Call first as there appointment only. (310) 323-1824

Default 90K Service

VJ3, I'm in the same boat as you, same car & everything. What was the price you got from the Toy Shop for the 90K service?

Already done (today) with my T/Belt & W/pump change. Satistified with
the service they even top off all my fluid(Brake,wiper). Except
for one thing they use the green stuff coolant instead of the Toyota red stuff.(Eric told me he use green stuff to his toyota car, his a toyota guy
if he say it's OK to use green stuff I can live with that) Over all summary
for Toy Shop of Torrance

I've got a good price ( based on other Independent shop inquiry) El Duque,
I'll pm you.
