Default 90K service shop recommended in Torrance

anyone know of a good shop that can do my 90k service for a gs300 in torrance/gardena area.

i know todd from tm engineering can do it but he's hard to get ahold of.

anyone has any other leads. i haven't tried toyota dealers but wondering if anyone has references that they can trust.

thanks everyone.

Son is always easy to get ahold of and deal with. Give him a call, he's a master tech that used to work at a Lexus dealership, he's got a lot of customers from the so cal area that trust him completely.

ted, i'm near rowland heights too and heading to dynamic for some work in the next few weeks. i've heard great things and just want to try them out to see what all the hype is about. if they're that great, i wouldnt mind making the drive for great service. i've heard there's a place on colima/fullerton in rowland heights that does service. i think behind the carl's jr. check them out. but i dont know how their quality is.

why is todd at tm engineering so difficult to get a hold of? i've tried pm, calling, left voice mail messages...he's a 1 man show right? i'd really like to give him some business...and need something i'm hoping he can provide...

to revive this...what are you guys paying and getting for said 90k service?

i'm getting all sorts of stuff thrown at me from dealers, so the aforementioned dynamic or TM might be the safe ticket to minimal rip-offs

I just came from there to make an appt. I'm getting the 90k service done there and I have to say his quote is reasonable compared to what the Lexus dealer quoted me. Overall, I was impressed with the shop very clean...a sleuth of our cars which says to me that his reputation is impeccable other than what you guys have said. I can't wait!

I had my car serviced there and I have to say this guy is AWESOME! He charged me half of what the dealership would have charged me for the 90k service, tensioner replacement, new brakes and battery. He also showed me the old parts and didn't have to replace my plugs as they were new anyway. Most shops would've changed plugs eventhough it was not deemed necessary. I'll be going to him from now on for major services. I highly recommend them!
