Auto Repair in San Carlos: Toyota Tacoma

October 23, 2024

Toyota Tacoma has a well-deserved reputation for reliability and off-road fun. But in order to serve you well, it needs regular maintenance. At Toole’s Garage in San Carlos we offer complete range of Toyota Tacoma services and repairs. Whether your pickup needs routine oil change, or if facing complicated engine diagnostics and repairs, our technicians, highly skilled and nationally ASE certified, will take great care of your vehicle.

Our San Carlos auto repair facility offers everything your Tacoma needs to serve you well for as long as you wish to maintain it. While Tacoma can boast “Toyota Quality”, even Toyota products can have an “off” year. For the Tacoma, model year 2016 was such a year. Owners reported a variety of transmission problems, excessive engine noise, and floor and steering vibration was also reported. Another bad year was 2009, with interior accessories not working properly, and radio in particular, as well as parking lights overheating and cracking. Replacing headlight housing was the preferred solution.

To keep you Tacoma at its best, we recommend regular maintenance services – this not only keeps manufacturer warranty in force, but also allows our mechanics to perform digital vehicle inspection (which is  more extensive than manufacturer recommended service inspections). This inspection gives us an opportunity to catch any developing problems in their early stages, thus keeping repair costs down.

Toole’s Garage in San Carlos is a family owned auto care facility that provides comprehensive auto maintenance and repair services. Whether your Tacoma needs brake service, auto ac repair, electrical system diagnostics and repair, faces transmission issues, needs suspension repairs or major engine work, our technicians have the skills, experience, and state-of-the-art tools to make your vehicle well again. We also provide full range of tire related services and new tires.

When you choose Toole’s Garage, you're not just getting service; you're getting peace of mind that comes from knowing that your vehicle is in the hands of consummate professionals. Every service or repair includes not only free digital vehicle inspection, but also OEM or better quality parts, and 3 year / 36,000 mile nationwide warranty.

So if your Toyota Tacoma is due for service or if something just doesn’t feel right, bring it to our San Carlos auto care facility. We’ll fix your vehicle and get you back on the road quickly, often the same day. Your Tacoma deserves the best, and that’s exactly what it’ll get at Toole’s Garage.

When it comes to wheel safety, lug nuts don’t always get the attention they deserve. These critical fasteners are what keep your wheels securely attached to your car, and they need to be tightened to a very specific level of force—known as torque. Get it wrong, and you're risking more than just a loose wheel.

It’s difficult to drive anywhere in the Bay Area and not see a lot of Subaru vehicles. Whether it’s the Subaru Crosstrek, WRX, Outback, Forester, or Ascend, Subaru vehicles are everywhere. At Toole’s Garage we are big Subaru fans. Subaru vehicles are built for the great outdoors, and of course California provides plenty of opportunity for on-road and off-road adventures. All wheel drive (AWD) comes standard on many Subaru models, and can provide consistent traction whether you are on a muddy road, or skiing in the Sierras. If a roof rack did not come standard with your model, it’s easy to add. And of course, interior space is pretty generous, especially if you drive an Outback or Ascent – you can stow plenty of camping and hiking gear. At Toole’s Garage we can provide your Subaru with the maintenance it needs to provide you with a reliable ride – wherever your adventures take you. We highly recommend regular oil change – it not only improves performance and extends engine life, but it also allows us to inspect various sub-systems of your Subaru to catch any impending problems (for example, older Subaru models were prone to oil leaks). And if a long summer trip is in the cards, we definitely suggest bringing it in for a checkup. Being a full service auto repair shop, Toole’s Garage can provide your Subaru with routine maintenance services, diagnostics, as well as major repairs. If your Subaru needs new brake pads, has the check engine light “on”, suffers from transmission problems, or needs major engine repairs – we can make your vehicle healthy again. Whether you have owned your Subaru for a long time, or have recently acquired one, bring it to our San Carlos auto repair shop – we will keep your vehicle in peak condition. Call us to make an appointment, or you can make an appointment online, on our website.
