Dealer recommendation - NYC,L.I.,Upstate NY,?NJ?

[AnthonyMV]

I probably shouldn't ask this. Since I cant recommend one.
Smithtown Toyota in Suffolk is horrendous....dealerrater isn't subjective like the folks here.....so
Does anyone on here have a dealer they can recommend me in the areas I mentioned above? I'm going to be up for the 10k mile service soon (oil/filter). And from looking at Antmans thread it's no small task, especially the skid plate removal (gotta assume truck has to be jacked up pretty high to swivel out the skid plate,and i dont want cut off the front tabs, to get access to drain/filter).
But I digress....it's free, I don't have to crawl under the rig, hate to spend money on something that's free....
So. If anyone on here can recommend one.....maybe one that has a shop where I can actually watch....maybe up close so I know the tech is actually doing the job.....without effing up....

Thx in advance to all the positive responses!

I've been using Rockland Toyota, and so far so good. I'm coming up on the 60,000 Dr's checkup.

It's a nice experience, you drive right in, there's a full deli in the store, the staff has been supurb to date, and I've been using them for almost 3 years.

I use Millennium in Hempstead. Never had any sort of issue. Easy online scheduling, text notifications and reminders, and the service is always done quickly and ahead of the schedule they quote. Price is reasonable for anything you may need to pay for. Free coffee is nice too.

I bought mine from Westbury Toyota. Salesman was upfront in explaining since it was the end of the year/end of the month he HAD to move cars and that he'd do anything to sell me one...I used a truecar.com price which was cheaper than any LI dealer. He came right back with a price lower than that and we had a deal. Quick, easy, and painless. I have been using their service center for about 5 years with my Corolla. Always on top of everything, quick service.

Williams Toyota (right near Waverly NY) worth the drive. Best Dealer I ever met. I am friends with the Owner.

Thx for all the + responses

Well, I purchased my convertible last year at palisades Mazda, which is up the road from rockland toyota I think - so that doesn't seem too bad---if the tappan zee isn't too backed up at like 7am going into rockland......
Kraeken, ur right, along as they're trustworthy I don't care either....
so ....have any of you guys on here had the steering wheel shimmy at 60 mph. If so, have u had it fixed at these dealerships? And what was the outcome?.....I've already changed the dunflops to kumho kl61's and the shimmy came back, or never left.........called Mavis tire today . Haven't heard back from them yet---can't be a tire issue,can't. I mean second set of tires and still shimmy. Come on!

Have had good luck purchasing 2 new trucks from Muller Toyota
Route 31, Clinton, NJ 08809, 888-708-3922. Good prices, good service, easy to work with.

Muller might be a bit of a trip for you from NYC for just an oil change.
