Recently Hoisted on Our Vehicle Service Bays
A customer brought in his brand new 2024 Land Cruiser for its first oil change. Land Cruisers have been absent from the Canadian market since 1996, so, as car pros, we were quite interested in seeing how it is built this time around and we loved what we saw while it was hoisted!
Our customer reported that this 2.5L naturally aspirated Boxster engine was losing coolant, overheating, steaming and loss of power. Our diagnostics showed that it had breached/blown head gaskets. We ended up removing and rebuilding the entire engine. Rebuilt the heads as well. Installed new multi layer steel head gaskets (the Subaru issue is the head gaskets are single ply composite gaskets and that is why they are so weak). We then installed a whole new clutch assembly (flywheel, clutch kit, bearing, fork etc.) as well as hydraulic system. We serviced the timing belt and the water pump as well as replacing the front and rear main/crankshaft seals. The vehicle is back on the road, running as good as new!

Water intrusion into the trunk and passenger compartment. Various electrical components not working, like seats and windows. Another successful diagnosis, now just need to find parts!
This vehicle came in for its regular 8,000 kilometer interval oil change service as well as the install of 4 new Pirelli "Scorpion" all season tires. During the complimentary vehicle safety examination we perform alongside every regular oil change, we discovered that the front pinion seal had a major oil leak. We immediately ordered the parts required and repaired the transfer case leak on the same day. Customers left with peace at mind knowing there are no more fluid leaks present on their vehicle.
