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.

Mr. Q

Yes, that is correct.
From now on, Toyota will release more and more 3-cylinder turbochargers.
The new GR Corolla and GR Yaris are 3 turbo.
The recently premiered Lexus LBX is also 3 turbo.
Luxury cars also have 3-cylinder.
Three-cylinder engines are unbalanced.
I never want to buy one.

Other manufacturers are starting to make 3-cylinders.
The V8 has become a V6 turbo, the V6 has become a 4-cylinder turbo, and the 4-cylinder has become a 3-cylinder turbo.
If you increase the boost of the turbo in a small engine, the exhaust power goes up, but it puts a tremendous burden on the engine.
That's why they don't last as long.
Nowadays cars have a lot of parts, and they are getting heavier.
Manufacturers are trying various ways to use plastic to make the parts lighter.
But with a small engine, the car is too heavy and there is a limit.

Toyota Motor Corporation is building cars on a platform called TNGA to cut costs.
This TNGA-B platform is only for FWD and 3-cylinder engines.
Other automakers are also building cars on global platforms.

I think EV cars will become more important in the future than gasoline-powered cars.
