    Hi. I'm looking for a trusted mechanic / shop to fix a coolant leak. Leaking at the rear of the engine or under the intake manifold given the drops that I'm seeing at the junction between the engine and trans.

    Any recommendations on where to go? Or which dealer to take it to?

    Thanks.

    Water pump was done in 2018 fwiw

    I would evade Steven Creek, they refused to inspect my frame and then proceeded to try and charge for service...

    These are 2 names that gets thrown around a lot for toyota indy shops in the south bay.

    Both operated by Asian owners and both worked at toyota dealership as mechanics prior to opening their own shop.

    I have used them few times. No issues and price is reasonable. Oil change, fluid top off, tire rotation and full inspection on my 2016 sequoia sr5 4x4 was $142 bucks out the door at TLS. My wife's prius maintainance work gets done at toyota lexus auto repair.

    But, please do your homework and ask around. Lot of knowledgeable guys on this forum who can guide you in the right direction.
