Common Toyota problems we fix
Oil use on the 2AZ engine
The 2AZ four cylinder in the 2007 to 2011 Camry and RAV4 can burn oil. The piston rings let oil slip by. Check the dipstick often. We can test the rate and talk through the fix.
Water pump leaks
Toyota water pumps wear out around 100,000 miles. Coolant seeps from a small weep hole. You may see pink drips under the car. We replace the pump and refill the system.
Dashboard cracks
Some Toyota dashboards from the mid 2000s turn sticky or crack in the Georgia sun. The heat breaks down the plastic. It does not change how the car drives. We can talk through your options.
Timing cover leaks on the V6
The 3.5 V6 in the Camry, Highlander and Sienna can leak oil from the timing cover. The cover is a big seal at the front of the engine. It is a large job. We check it and give you the facts first.
Truck suspension wear
Toyota trucks are heavy and see rough roads. Ball joints, sway bar links and shocks wear out. A clunk or a wander means it is time. We replace the worn parts.
Oxygen sensor codes
Older Toyota models set codes for slow oxygen sensors. The sensor reads the exhaust for the computer. A bad one hurts gas mileage. We replace it and clear the light.

Honest, simple advice
Toyotas rarely need big work. We tell you when something can wait.
Being a single woman in Athens, I did not feel like I was being taken advantage of like I have at most other repair shops. They were polite, courteous and respectful. After checking prices I found they were least expensive for what I had done. I am very pleased and will definitely be a return customer.
