Nothing urgent, but since my daughter and her new husband recently moved to South Tampa--using my old Camry as their only vehicle for now--I thought I'd see if anyone here had experience with Toyota Dealership Service Departments or independent shops in the Tampa metro area.

Although the car could use a little body work and paint, I think finding a good mechanic for general repairs is the first priority. The new son-in-law apparently isn't much of a DIY type, so if "specialized" types of places are suggested, I'd guess the categories might work out something like:


Oil Changes
Tires, Suspension, Alignment, and Brakes
Engine and General Repairs
Transmission

Anyone got some good Toyota mechanics they can recommend? Any others that should be avoided?

Toyhouse on 301, just north of MLK. They do FANTASTIC WORK.


Tell em Josh sent ya ;)

Thanks for the feedback Josh. With a little diggin' for details, it looks like this one's (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=l&hl=en&geocode=&q=toy+house&near=tampa,+fl&ie=UTF8&ll=28.035622,-82.388535&spn=0.333339,0.409927&z=11&iwloc=A) the one. What kind(s) of repairs have they done for you?
