Can anyone recommend a reputable mechanic/shop in OC (Tustin, Irvine area) to perform routine maintenance (Oil changes, tire rotation stuff)? Tustin Toyota gives me the creeps with high pressure sales tactics plus higher prices. I've tried searching all over PriusChat.com, but didn't find anything specific other than a local gas station to install a BT brace. Thanks in advance!!!
I would really suggest just dealerships- some of our Prius guys like Family Toyota in San Juan Capistrano. A good one is usually Carson Toyota as they sell and service tons of Prius. I agree- Tustin has had some problems...

For example, why not grab a $12 Good Year coupon for oil & rotation (going on, for instance right now off of Irvine & Bake? Lots of places rotate for free after you buy your treads from them.

Sorry I can't help more. There's Hiro's Auto Repair in Costa Mesa, but that's one of your independent mechanics. You could try experimenting with Power Toyota of Irvine, or maybe South Coast Toyota, Toyota of Orange, etc etc.. Doesn't the OC Prius Club have a list of decent dealerships to go to? Inventor00?
