This location came significantly higher price than all surrounding shops. The others came in at $55-70. Just want to save you all time, this shop feels way overpriced. However they respond quick on quotes which is a plus.

The staff is friendly, efficient, and they make everything really smooth. One of my favorite things is watching the airplanes land right above the shop into Long Beach Airport while I wait -- it's such a unique little bonus. Depending on the day, you even get a nice sea breeze rolling through because both sides of the bays stay open. It makes the wait surprisingly relaxing. This is a great family‑run shop, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for fast, honest, and affordable smog checks. Sunny S.

The gentleman on the phone said the transmission fluid is for life unless I'm towing or carrying heavy loads. When I questioned why I see that it's recommended online he says that dealers will recommend this service all day but if you check the Toyota maintenance manual it says you don't need it. Man! I haven't even been to this shop yet and I'm already getting a good feeling about this place. It's a bit more expensive for an oil change than other places that have quoted me, but I like that they use factory parts including Toyota oil filters. I'll update this review once I get the car in for my first visit. Stay tuned.... 6/29/26 - Brought my Sienna in for an oil change + complimentary 30-point inspection (since it was my first time there). Jared took the van for a spin, brought it back and lifted it up. They found a little oil seepage coming out of the transfer case. I let them know that I did see a transfer case drain/fill on the CarFax report before I bought it. Jared thinks they just didn't torque it properly so they were going to retorque and clean up around the area and keep an eye on it. Worst case scenario, they would need to order a new drain plug gasket and I'd have to come back to get it replaced. Thankfully, the drain plug just needed to get tightened. I was in and out in almost exactly an hour just as Robert promised. Thanks The Toy Shop team!! Pro Tip: they are booked out at least a week in advanced so make your appointment ASAP!
