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.

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.

I called Speedway Tire & Service to see if they were able to see me on a saturday afternoon, and they told me to swing by. Fred helped me out - he was very friendly and non-intimidating (great for a gal going to an auto shop by herself!) He explained that Tesla tires have some foam, so patching the tire for the nail he found would be $50. It was nice he took the time to explain why it was a certain cost, def appreciated. They have a really nice waiting area with seating + strong AC (it was a hot summer day in LA), I was really impressed. Paid by cash because there's a small fee for credit card. 100% recommend this spot - friendly and service was quick. I was in and out fasttt!

I got my first oil change from them and my car went a solid year with no problems. After my first 5K miles I took the car in for my next oil change, and they caught a deteriorating coolant hose and a cracked coolant tank, which they replaced. Both George and Vrezh are honest and experienced mechanics, and know their way around German cars. The cost for parts and labor is reasonable for the LA market, considering the fact that they still have to make a profit to run the shop. You also get what you pay for, so if you have a nice, German car, better to pay pros to do it right then try and get it done cheaply than to have bad work done that creates more expensive problems, or worse, try and do it yourself if you don't have the expertise, time, or tools, and destroy your car. They are good guys and only use quality oil and parts, nothing cheap. They run an honest business and clear that they want their customers to have repairs that last. As long as the work stays at the level they've been delivering to me I'll likely keep going to them as long as I have 4N vehicles that need quality upkeep.
