Decent Toyota mechanics in the GVRD?
 

Was just taking the car to Toyota to get it serviced but the constant upsell on stupid shit that I don't need is getting too annoying now.

Might as well go elsewhere to a decent mechanic. It's just a Corolla but I like to keep it well maintained as I depend on it to get to work every day 65k round trip.

Located in PoCo but can travel for the right person no problem.

Speed Syndicate

My favourite Toyota service advisor happens to be on Revscene. :whistle:

:hay:

Oh what a feeling

If it's who I think it is, they're not a Toyota Advisor anymore

Only these emojis can describe my wave of emotions after reading your response.
:ahwow::suspicious::rukidding::alone::pokerface: :yuno: :badpokerface::okay::considered::denied: :seriously:

Regardless, I am happy for this former Toyota service advisor. 'Tis a loss to the Toyota community.

Make a trip out to Langley... :whistle:

Which dealer have you been going to?

Regency in Vancouver

I go to Granville Toyota. Those guys aren't pushy from my experience.

+1 for Alpha1 - I like them for doing regularly scheduled maintenance as they are quite thorough about checking out your car. I always get a list of things that need replacement/work but I don't get pressured to do it with them. I find it's rare for the 3rd party shops to be this detailed. They're a touch pricier than Speed Syndicate whom I prefer to use for specific, well defined work like a wheel alignment or new brakes where they won't be looking at anything else on the car.

Anybody try Specialist A & A Japanese Engine in Richmond?

Google reviews seems to show they are Toyota experts and the google street view pics show a bunch of Toyotas parked outside their garage.
