Best service in So Cal..

Hi guy's I bought a pre-owned 2016 FR-S. I can't decide what to do about my maintenance. I have heard that the dealerships in So Cal give the worst service. I have a mechanic that took care of my BMW and he is great..Should I just bring it to him and forget Toyota?..

Depends if you bought the car from a Toyota dealer in Southern CA. and whether or not there's a existing new car warranty or not. If the car still carries the original new car warranty maybe you can go to a dealer.

You can take it to anyone you want to. Or you can work on it yourself.

Congratulations and welcome to the forum ......


For regular service, there is nothing unique to the FR-S, so I would suggest you just take it to the mechanic you know and trust.

Welcome!

Check our the regional sub-forum and I'm sure some locals can give you some good advice. Plenty of options in Socal
