Scion was Toyota's 2002 experiment in appealing to younger drivers - boxy xBs, sporty tCs, and a buying experience without the haggle. The brand wound down in 2016, but the cars turned out to be exactly what they were underneath: Toyotas. Which means the Scions still buzzing around the South Bay are famously durable - and Hillside Auto Repair services them with full Toyota-family fluency.
The Scions we service
- xB - the box that became a design icon and refuses to die
- tC - the sporty coupe that introduced a generation to car payments

Toyota bones, Toyota service
Scion maintenance is Toyota maintenance: honest oil intervals, cooling and transmission services on schedule, brakes and suspension against real wear - and parts availability stays excellent because the hardware is shared. Our technicians serviced these cars new, and that knowledge never left the shop.
Nimble cars, honest care
Whether yours is a dependable xB commuter or an FR-S that lives for Angeles Crest, the process is the same: diagnose first, photograph findings, quote in writing, back it with the 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty. A written quote before the work - some traditions deserve keeping.
Hearing or feeling something specific? Two taps in our Symptom Checker points you to the right page - and tells you straight when a symptom means stop driving and when it can wait.
How your Scion schedules its maintenance
A Scion is a Toyota underneath, and it keeps the Toyota schedule: service every 5,000 miles or six months, mostly inspections, with oil and filters coming due on their own intervals. The factory list even includes an unusually honest category - items the OEM doesn't specify an interval for, meant to be checked rather than automatically replaced.
Your xB, tC, or xD still has its exact table on file here - a minute to pull, and we service to it.
Since 1984, every era welcome
Scion arrived and departed within our shop's lifetime, and we'll keep its cars healthy for the rest of theirs. Transmission service, brake repair, scheduled maintenance - book online or call, and consider it handled.
Scion oil change intervals, by the book
Wondering how often your Scion really needs oil? Trust the factory schedule over old rules of thumb - intervals vary by model and oil type, and we follow Scion's own maintenance schedule exactly. See how we handle car maintenance, or just ask at your next visit.
