Where did you guys go for your oil change? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just wondering what dealership did you go to in SoCal for your free 2 years oil change? Was thinking about Longo Toyota of El Monte since their reviews on yelp seems to be good compared to all the dealers I've looked at. You guys are welcome to share any past dealership experiences!

Longo is a hit or miss experience. It depends on the people doing the work and your SA.

Santa Monica Toyota Dealership

Never had a bad experience, nor have I ever needed an appointment. I just drive and drop my car off. Longest wait was like 10min. Only ever had my oil done there though.

I went to Hollywood for my first two (both with coilovers installed) but when my third oil change came along they told me my car was too low. Long story short, they wasted about 3.5 hours of my time and couldn't do anything for me because their mechanics were too lazy to grab some wood blocks. I ended up changing it myself. It's REALLY easy and I will never take it to the dealership again. Matter of fact, I'm due for another one in a couple of days. It's a very straight forward process, and you can also follow the DIY thread posted below on how to do it. Just something to consider.

Only reason I'm going to the dealer for my oil change is because warranty.. this will be my first oil change in 6 months since I bought the car so just trying to cover my ass in case anything happens.

Which dealer?

I went to longo. Just remember to close all your windows and take out all precious belongings if you ever leave your car there over night. They park your car outside, gave me my car back with the interior looking like a twister went through it.

We do oil changes here as well. We've got Motul regularly in stock, just bring your oil filter and we'll get it done here. The actual labor cost for an oil change is just $30, but an appointment does need to be scheduled, we're usually booked 3-4 days in advance on the weekdays and 2-3 weeks in advance for Saturdays.
