Quoted me at $100 and charged me not a dime more. Smog took about 45 min (typical for an older vehicle, pre-1996, like mine). They were efficient, friendly, and kind. I've been overcharged at other places before, but these guys were great. Highly recommend. Plus there's a waiting room with comfy recliners, AC, bathroom, WiFi, and even a coffee machine.

Given my experience so far, would return for other car needs, too!

I planned on keeping the car in storage for 2 months, and they were flexible with me on arranging when to drop it off.

I also ended up picking up the car earlier than expected and they had my car ready within the hour and I got to keep the car cover and battery tender I bought for next time. I also liked the fact that Stephanie kept my contract open in the event I needed to bring the car back, she was so accommodating. I will ABSOLUTELY be using this service again !!!

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!

I needed an oil change last minute…read moreand had already called 10-12 different places--no one could fit me in or had the correct filter for my car. I was honestly stuck. Then I spoke with Mike, and he was beyond accommodating. He took me in the same day, handled my oil change efficiently, and made the entire experience stress-free. What really stood out was that Mike didn't just do the oil change and send me on my way. He took the time to walk me through a game plan for my next service and explained what should be addressed moving forward to make sure nothing negatively impacts my engine. That level of care and transparency is rare. On top of that, he filled my tires because they were low--completely on his own, without me even asking. It's the little things like that that show how much he truly cares about his customers. And he even gave me a discount on the price because I was a first time customer. If you need anything for your car, go to Mike. He and his team are professional, honest, and genuinely the best. I've found my go-to shop and won't be going anywhere else. Thank you Speedway.

Every employee I've interacted with has treated me with kindness and respect. And for any women out there handling their own car maintenance--this is a shop you can trust. That alone means a lot. I even had the chance to meet Mr. Castellon himself, and he was incredibly helpful. He took the time to show me how to check my tire pressure, which I really appreciated. When I finally bought a pair of tires, the installation only took about 15 minutes--super fast and efficient. I couldn't be happier with my experience and my new go-to team.
