San Mateo Toyota, Lexus and Scion Service & Repair

They were very accommodating about me having a limited budget. They quickly diagnosed my issue, were transparent that it wasn't something that needs to be addressed immediately, and ended up not even charging me for the small amount of time it took to diagnose my problem. I plan on returning for all future car work I need done.

Update: Just this morning 10/15/24, 9:15am I dropped my Highlander for for a bearing replacement, promised done at end of day. I got a call back early 12:15p, usually a bad sign we need more money, It's done. Whaaa? Wow! DONE! Chris well done. But, what else is there? Gonna pick her up now, let's see. Update 2: Got it back. Noise is gone. No other up costs, just what he stated in the beginning. Again well done Chris. I highly recommend this shop.

I'm a client from way back in 1990s. Had (have) a 1987 Supra turbo (First one in NorCal right off the ship barely completed dealer prep protective film was still on) that he serviced for me, a turbo replacement. Not only did he replaced the turbo but he found some other extra car parts stored in the rear trunk that were for future projects for me to do for the car-spark plugs, cables, belts, filters, engine cover and oil for engine, trany and dif. He took it upon himself to put them all back on the car, except for the trany and dif. Kinda bumed as I like working on the car, but it shows his diligence. He also found missing bolts and brackets that the dealer left off from the last service. So he replaced them and torqued all the other nuts and bolts down as a check of the toyota dealer's poor work. Never go to the dealer for service when you have a better place to have your car serviced like C&T Automove Toyota/Lexus Specialists. Great Job Chris! Thanks.

Professional and honest

Have been going here for years. This is my 3rd car Chris has serviced (1 Toyota and 2 Lexus models). Chris has always been professional, honest and very knowledgeable. He has given me great advice on maintenance and tires. I highly recommend C&T.

We have been bringing our cars to C&T for over 20 years, because they have consistently done an outstanding job of taking care of them. Chris does a great job of letting us know what needs to be done, as well telling us what doesn't need to be addressed right now. He and Leslie in the front office are always a pleasure to talk with. I highly recommend C&T Toyota!

Outstanding service and communication! I have been taking my Land Cruiser here for years. I now have over 280K miles on it, and Chris tells me I can get to 1 million with proper maintenance.

Needed my water pump replaced, they were able to finish the job same day. Great work!

me customer of c&t toyota for several yrs. chris doesnt mince words. he asks for facts about car problem & tells me his best choice for needed repair w/ price quote (after car evaluation). to me this is sign of capability & honesty. example 1: he suggested a repair based on early symptom that his team had uncovered. being frugal minded, i declined. but next yr, that problem surfaced to real issue & i had to spend the $ anyway. example 2: recently i noticed radiator leak. i searched online to get quotes for replacement in my zip code. 2 sources (incl a dealership) cited a range of $a-c (under $700). i went to c&t & chris gave me a quote of $b, about middle of above range. i felt so glad that i really have good reason to go back there.

Excellent service and communication. They did a wonderful job on my Lexus.
