    Sup guys,

    Just wanted to see if anyone here in SoCal has any recommendations as to which dealer has provided you with the best service so far. I have my 5K service coming up and was thinking I would like them to update the transmission TSB and manually check Transmission Fluid Levels. I know some dealerships will tell you to pound sound or give you a hard time so I wanted to see if any of you guys had any dealerships do those services without any hassle.

    Thanks for the help.

    i use irvine toyota since its local and convenient for me. have had an overall good experiences so far and no issues.

    one time, i started feeling a jiggle in my steering wheel when braking. so upon drop off, i asked them to inspect the rotors/brakes because something didnt feel right. the older gentlemen that was helping me said "oh you got these aggressive knobby tires on there, that could be the problem"... i chuckled and said "no, this started happening recently and ive had the tires for 25k+. please have the rotors inspected"

    he called me two hours later. saying i was right. and they resurfaced the rotors... no big deal. just thought it was funny. all of my cars have always been modified. so its funny how people are so quick to jump and blame mods for shit...

    Toyota of Orange, South Coast Toyota, Toyota of Huntington Beach will all do a great job.
    Same owner.

    Toyota of Orange is the 2nd largest dealer in the country.

    I personally use Toyota of HB

    Sweet thanks. Toyota of Orange is where I purchased but closer to South Coast. Glad to hear both are good. Looking to update my TSB and possibly check transmission fluid on my 5K service with no resistance from dealer lol.

    Capistrano Toyota
    This dealerships service department goes above and beyond with my truck and provides excellent service. Sales guy that sold my truck was cool and a straight shooter.
    I have only had positive experiences through Capistrano Toyota... so far other shops have quoted slightly higher prices on stuff I needed fixed or serviced. So I go with the peace and mind of hiring Toyota techs, and save a little cash.

    A lot of the staff rock Tacomas, so they get it...
