Vehicles by category
Japanese cars and SUVs
Toyota leads our list, followed by Lexus and Honda. Subaru, Nissan, Mazda, Acura, Infiniti and Scion round out the list. Recent regulars include the Toyota RAV4, Camry, Corolla, Highlander and 4Runner, the Honda Civic, Accord, Odyssey and Fit, the Subaru Outback and Impreza, the Lexus RX 350 and ES 350, and the Mazda3 and CX-5. These are the daily drivers of North County, and they get everything from oil changes and brakes to check engine light diagnosis and A/C repair.
European cars
BMW and Mercedes-Benz lead the European makes, followed by Volkswagen, Porsche, Audi, Volvo, Mini and Land Rover. We've also had Aston Martin, Maserati, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo and Fiat in the bay. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Volkswagen Passat are on our recently serviced list. European cars often call for specific oils, fluids and parts, and we match what the manufacturer specifies.
Domestic trucks and SUVs
Ford and Jeep lead the domestic makes, followed by Chevrolet, Dodge, GMC, Cadillac, Chrysler, Lincoln, Ram and Buick. The Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee, Ford F-150 and Escape, and Chevrolet Silverado and Colorado are all regulars. Along with the Toyota Tundra and 4Runner, they're the trucks and SUVs behind a lot of our suspension and steering and brake work.
Hybrids
The Toyota Prius is near the top of our recently serviced list. Hybrids still need the same core service as any car: oil changes, brakes, A/C and cooling system work. Toyota and Lexus together make up a large share of what we see.
Korean cars
Hyundai, Kia and Genesis are in the mix as well, and get the same inspect, estimate and approve process as every other car we work on.
