Recently, when I take my car to an authorized dealer

for regular maintenance,

I feel like I am being ripped off by the dealer.

Well, it is a big problem in Japan now, but

I still feel some resistance when I am told by Americans.

I also feel uncomfortable taking them to Latino and Korean factories in the suburbs of LA.

I know there are several Japanese repair shops around Torrance, but

do you have any recommendations?

There are a lot of information in magazines, etc. and I am quite worried.

If there are any reliable repair shops near LA, please exchange information.

Again, this is a personal opinion, but I love cars from the 70's to the 90's.
But no matter how much I love them, I don't want to tune them anymore
because cars are just a foot in the door for me now.
So the best car for me is one that I can drive long distances in and still feel safe.
Sometimes when I drive on a mountain pass, I want to go for a curve, but I don't want to.

＞ Cars these days are hybrids or turbos.


You are making assumptions. There are plenty of naturally aspirated cars out there. I guess only hybrid or turbo cars are available for high performance cars like the one you are buying, but no normal person would buy a v8 car unless they are an enthusiast or have a big family.

Thundra is Tundra ？ Taco is too low class for you.

Mr. Octopus

You say that much for a little misspelling ？
Have more presence of mind. w

It is true that hybrid is increasing in recent cars.
Both Toyota and Honda are turning V6s into 4-cylinder turbos.
Camry is still the only V6 sedan.
Nissan doesn't seem to make Maxima either.
The new Crown is only a 4-cylinder turbo or a 4-cylinder hybrid.
The next Camry will be too.
By the way, the new Lexus RX is also 4-cylinder turbo.
The new Land Cruiser 250 that premiered recently is also a four-cylinder turbo.
Times have changed without your knowledge.

Octopus

You don't have to be red like a boiled octopus, please try harder and give more knowledge.
I am just writing the truth.
I am writing this in the hope that I can be of some help in this small Nikkei community. By the way, I like to eat octopus as sashimi.

Does 4-cylinder mean 4-cylinder ？ because it also said 3-cylinder. As far as I know, there are no 3-cylinder cars. Maybe I just don't know.
