Recently, when I take my car to an authorized dealer

for regular maintenance,

I feel like I am being ripped off by the dealer.

Well, it is a big problem in Japan now, but

I still feel some resistance when I am told by Americans.

I also feel uncomfortable taking them to Latino and Korean factories in the suburbs of LA.

I know there are several Japanese repair shops around Torrance, but

do you have any recommendations?

There are a lot of information in magazines, etc. and I am quite worried.

If there are any reliable repair shops near LA, please exchange information.

Even the cheapest place in Taiwanese system, it goes up $20 after 2 years, and again 2 years later this year $60. That and luxury cars are the same price, so it helps.
SPECIAL SMOG TEST $ 25.00 PLUS DMV CERTIFICATE $ 10.00 I was told in small letters that luxury cars are not included, but I was given an extra car and learned about it for the first time.

As with anything, especially when it comes to cars, ignorance can cost you a great deal.
First of all, ↓ please know the market price of repair cost here. Enter the year, car model, and repair part, and you will get the market price.

https://www.kbb.com/auto-repair/

Next is to find a reliable repair shop. There is nothing more unreliable than word of mouth among unknowledgeable people. So here is a good place to start.

You can also get supplementary information from Yelp and other sources.

Is AAA service available to non-members?

It is still safe to use the service by building a relationship of trust with the repair shop.

There are many unscrupulous fraudulent repair shops that quote as legitimate parts cost and
make a profit by using cheap and inferior Chinese aftermarket parts that are less than a third of the price.
You should go to a dealer and have it repaired with legitimate parts because the price is the same as a dealer.

Because by putting in aftermarket parts, the car is no longer a Toyota.

If there are so many unscrupulous and fraudulent repair shops that make profit by using aftermarket parts made in China, it would be better to say,

"If you buy the parts, we will do it for you for Fatty Dollar. I'd be more grateful if they said, "Buy the parts and we'll do it for Fat Fat Dollar.

It is the buyer's responsibility to buy the parts and bring them to me.
Parts and consumables do not have to be genuine.
