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.

＞ Turbocharged cars will lose their turbo bearings after about 70,000 miles. Increasing the boost of the turbo on a small engine will increase the exhaust power, but it will put a tremendous strain on the engine. That's why they don't last as long. That was in the past, and there seems to be no problem with the modern fuel-saving downsizing turbo. However, since the number of parts increases, the probability of failure increases by that amount.

Toyota's three-cylinder engine is Yamaha, not Toyota.

Passing by

you are ignorant. I can see you have no knowledge.
Most of the old turbo cars had 0.5 bar of boost.
Modern turbo cars have 1.5 to 2.0 bar.
This means that a lot of boost is required for the engine.

Let me explain it more simply.
For example, it is the same as putting 30 kg on your back and giving you an energy drink and asking you to move as you do every day.
For a short time, you may be fine, but you can't do it forever.
Did you understand ？ w

Yes, Yamaha has a contract with Toyota to make various engines as OEM.
It is OEM, so it is Toyota brand.
Most performance engines are made by Yamaha.
Incidentally, Aisin also makes transmissions for various manufacturers as OEM.
Even Brembo does.
I can't name all the trade-in companies.

Well, do what you want. I'm just writing to help this Nikkei community in any way I can. If I share information here, I'll just get ah-ha's from ignorant people. If I explain it to someone who has no knowledge, they won't get it.

Gazebo,

please go to college and study Law's of physics.
I wonder if you can understand it. w
At least an Engineer major can understand this much.
Force induction gives more power, but it doesn't last as long.
