We've driven Toyotas forever and we have a Matrix and Corolla at present. As a new arrival to Oregon (the Beaverton/Portland area), I'd sure appreciate a recommendation for a top-notch shop. I've used local dealers so far, but I tend to want to avoid them. I'm not looking for cheap. I'm looking for honest and smart. Thanks!

You got a point there. Low & slow is better than stock & slow.

Just general service for the most part. Not much really goes wrong with these cars most of the time. But, most pressing at the moment is the dreaded B1660 error that goes along with the airbag warning light coming on now and then. I've read threads here that it can cost a lot to get it fixed, and I'd like it done right -- not just replace parts until it goes away.
