Do those small, cramped, “Quicky 10 minute” oil change waiting rooms leaving you saying “Oh gross!”? Do you dread or even postpone taking your Prius green machine, regular Toyota or Lexus in for a tune-up because you don’t want to get a baby sitter or a rental car for the day? If your answer is yes…then City Toyota is your new place to go for a stress free, kid friendly Toyota/Lexus car servicing (or oil changes for all other makes of cars.)
This spotless, modern building has it all to entertain you and your little ones: a café with sofas to watch TV, a game/play room for kids, a car showcase and clean bathrooms with changing tables. These folks even give you a coffee or tea or discount on a food item at their cafe located in the center of the building while you wait. (They had many kid friendly selections: we had a tuna sandwich, tea and chocolate milk made by the cafe while we shared books and played with other kids also waiting for their wheels.)
They also supply a game/play room fully equipped with little car video games, fun tables, comfy chair cubes, puzzle like-structures for babies, and the movie Cars playing on a T.V. And in the adjacent showroom, our car-loving child was allowed to sit in one of their new shiny Camrys much to her delight – for over an hour!
If you are itching to leave the premises, City Toyota offers a free shuttle ride to anywhere within a 5 mile radius – can you say Babies R Us, Target or Westlake Center for a little errand running? And within walking distance, (about a couple of blocks away), you will find the super-fun Daly City Playhouse on Hill Street for massive indoor child and baby fun for only five dollars an hour.
City Toyota also boasts the most competitive prices around and the best hours, all in the kid friendliest environment possible.
Our servicing did take longer than they quoted me, but in such a kid friendly location, who could complain? They accept drop-ins, but I would call for an appointment and ask for Mike Weaver for extra attention in the Service Department. They also service other makes of vehicles and do oil changes in one hour for any vehicle – call ahead for specifics.
This is a certified Kid-Friendly City Service. Vroom Vroom!
