Toyota Repair in Seattle and Shoreline
Toyota vehicles are known as some of the most reliable vehicles made. They have a great resale value due to their reliability. Toyota cars and trucks will last you a long time as long as your Toyota receives its regular maintenance and service. Along the way, your Toyota may need a repair or develop a problem.
The ten most problematic Toyotas, according to toyotaproblems.com, involve (in descending order) the following models: Camry, RAV4, Corolla, Sienna, Tacoma, Avalon, Prius, Highlander, Sequoia, and Tundra. Unintended acceleration in some 2004 Camry Solara was a huge news story not long ago. The company recalled nearly four million vehicles. (Was yours? Find out promptly, if you haven’t fixed it yet.)
We Know Your Toyota
Describe the problem or problems you’re having with your Toyota and we’ll tackle them one by one. We'll drill down to find the hitches and hiccups that are making your Toyota run in fits and starts—if at all. Remember, most Toyota vehicles come equipped with a timing belt. Be sure to change your timing belt at its proper interval. Most Toyota timing belt replacements happen between 75,000 and 105,000 miles. If you’re not sure when your timing belt is due on your Toyota, give Chuck’s Auto Repair a call at 206-526-1069. We’ll be happy to look that information up for you and even give you a quote on replacing it!
We know every nut and bolt, every computerized system, every belt, hose, and engine compartment. Whatever it is you’re experiencing, here at Chuck’s we’ll correct what’s misbehaving and get you back on the road as fast as we can—without compromising the quality of the service you or anyone else receives, of course.
Can you repair your Toyota yourself? It depends.
If you have the tools and enough knowledge about your Toyota to tackle loose belts and other easy-to-access, easy-to-do tasks, certainly. But you’ll be trading a part of your life and having to forego other pleasures to make it happen. Most of our customers are happy to leave the repair work to us, so they can spend time with their families, friends, pets, and the great outdoors. It’s up to you. What are your priorities?
For the repairs that take more than a handyman with the right tools, though, there’s nothing like the peace of mind of knowing that your Toyota is in good hands and that everything will be done just right. You want your Toyota to serve, not just to stumble along as if to say, “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can …” The mantra worked well enough for the Little-Engine-That-Could, but you don’t want to just hope that your Toyota can while you’re turning across lanes of traffic in rush hour or taking a sick or injured child to the emergency room in the middle of the night.
So call today to schedule your Toyota repair date. 206-526-1069

Probably the best mechanical service organization I have encountered in my entire driving career. Far better than any of the dealerships I've had to deal with. Very up to date and have no problems with our Ford Ranger or Toyota Prius. Top marks for rapport and explaining their work. Always at or under their estimation. You can tell by look at their floors and how they organize their equipment that they are highly organized and efficient.

Thus far I have only had minor servicing of our Toyota Prius and Ford Ranger PU. However, I have been very impressed with the service. You can tell quite a bit by the condition of the service area and general orderliness of a shop. Chucks is immaculate. Our vehicles were well serviced, and vacuumed as part of their basic service. The staff are cordial and very informative about the condition of our vehicles. Added bonus is that they have always been at or under their estimated cost of service. If major repairs in the future receive the same quality of work I would not hesitate to rate them with top marks.

Chris, Brandon, and Ricky did some magic to my 87' Toyota Corolla. She had a handful of things that needed work and these guys helped me out with such haste. They gave me a really really fair price too. They made a large amount of work seem like it was nothing. My car is running like it's 1987 again.
