Toyota Tacoma has a well-deserved reputation for reliability and off-road fun. But in order to serve you well, it needs regular maintenance.

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.
