Lowered friendly toyota dealership
 

Hello 86ers! Im looking for a toyota dealer where i can take my lowered car for maintainance like oil change and such. Had a bad experience with my most recent oil change from miller toyota of anaheim. The said dealership left 2 chunks of dent in my left side rocker as shown in this photo Attachment 137671. Would love to hear your comments. Thanks

Are they going to repair the damages?

try evasive. i know they do maintainance

Theyre willing to repair it but then i'll have to leave the car with them for who knows how long while they take the car to a body shop. Im just not comfortable leaving the car with them as they might mess it up more like unmatched paint or something. So i took it myself to a pdr. Now its unnoticeable. It just sucks that the toyota tech arent being careful at all

yeah.....this is why I change my own oil. That sucks man, sorry to hear.

Yea, make the dealer pay for it 100%, and find another dealer and watch them put your car on a lift so you know they are capable of not ruining a car.

The best way to do it is to go to a performance shop. It may cost a bit more, but they care about cars.

Just do the oil changes yourself. It's not that hard and quite easy. If you want to really make it easy for yourself, some members are using vacuums to suck out the oil from the dip stick.

Take it to Longo Toyota in El Monte! They have an infloor ramp, all they have to do is drive it over the ramp that's on the ground, I always take mine there and my car is super low!!! Have never had a problem with them! Only negative is too busy!!!!

That is low man and i like your wheels. Are those work? In jealous now. 👊

Those dents are from careless technicians, not from a car dealership that is not "lowered car friendly"

Using hydraulic lifts would not cause the arms to dent in those locations.

Yes work vsxx! Lol

change your own oil, or go to a shop that GAF. Like Modbargains/Mod Auto!

Yep. Thats where im planning to go in my next sched maintenance. If i may ask, do u guys also do all the checks and inspections on the car like they do in the dealerships? Thanks

I've had nothing but positives from Toyota Redlands. A couple of the sales guys have FRS's with pretty extensive mods and the techs seem to look after you pretty well.

Just one other to avoid- Claremont Toyota. I had a shifter problem (rattling noise under the console) that I took in for a warranty repair- I told them exactly what the issue was, as it had happened on my 951 a few years back (oddly similar shifter set-ups), and what needed to be tightened up. They gave me the car back about 15 minutes later with the tech saying that the Bilstein coils and sway bars I have on the car were the source of the noise. Needless to say, I was left stranded on the 10w about 3 days later- one of the bolts on the shifter had backed out completely and left me unable to get the car in gear... exactly as I had said
