    I live in LaCrescenta, Bob Smith on Foothill Blvd ALWAYS does spot on work for me.
    Also go to North Hollywood Toyota, where I bought the car. They do good work also!!

    Just take it to the dealer you bought the car from!!!

    I can recommend my dealership: Longo Toyota. It may be a bit out of the way for you though.

    Yelp has good reviews for them as well.

    I just had mine done at the dealer that i bought my car from and they were excellent. Ventura Toyota is mine. They'll service my cars from here on out. Very good people over there and follow up always to make sure your experience was good.

    Our 2002 Prius is serviced by Hamer Toyota in Mission Hills. We've been very happy with their service. We purchased our 2010 from Hamer Toyota and it will also be serviced by Hamer Toyota.

    i live in San Jose, that isn't exactly south california but

    Toyota Sunnyvale,

    they have very good customer service there and I have always been pleased with how well they handle things and how respectful they are towards their customers

    they do a good job and at the same time do it pretty quick as well

    What issues did you have with them? I just bought mine there so I haven't had to face a service yet.

    Anyone have experience with Glendale Toyota? Seems like a small place, but its close to me...

    I had a good experience at Pasadena Toyota, but it was just once and they were only turning my reverse beeps off for me. Nice place, though, and the staff was friendly.

    I recommend Bob Smith in La Crescenta. I also suggest you stay far away from North Hollywood Toyota.

    Interesting, I have used both B.S. & NoHo Service, and would love to hear your reasons. Might save me a headache someday! PM me if you want.

    I'd love to hear stories here in the public so we can learn from it...two pluses for Bob Smith so far...maybe I'll have to go up there. How long do they take to do an oil change?
