Proactive Care for Total Longevity
We specialize in the “Middle-Ground” Repairs—the ones that keep your Toyota from ever needing the “Engine Replacement” or “Transmission Rebuild” mentioned above.
- Brake System Precision: We don’t just “slap pads on.” We clean and lubricate your caliper slide pins—a step often skipped by other shops—to ensure your brakes wear evenly and last twice as long.
- Fluid Exchange Intervals: From the specific WS Transmission Fluid to the specialized Toyota Pink Coolant, we use the exact fluids your manual requires to maintain your warranty and performance.
Pro Tip: If your Toyota is “long-cranking” or you notice the MPG dropping, it’s often just a dirty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or an old engine air filter. We can clean or replace these in minutes during an oil change.
Common Issues with Toyotas that We Repair
While Toyota builds some of the most durable machines on the road, certain models have specific “quirks” or maintenance needs. Our technicians are trained to identify these model-specific fail points before they lead to more expensive repairs.
Camry & Corolla
These are the most common vehicles in Raleigh, and they are workhorses. However, they do have a few predictable maintenance needs:
- Engine Mounts: Over time, you may feel a vibration while idling at a red light. This is often due to worn rubber engine mounts, a straightforward swap at our shop.
- VVTi Actuators: On older Camrys, you might hear a brief “rattle” on cold starts. Replacing the VVTi gear early can prevent timing issues later.
4Runner, Tacoma, & Tundra
Toyota trucks and SUVs are legendary, but their heavy-duty use leads to specific wear:
- Lower Ball Joints (LBJs): A critical failure point on older 4Runners and Sequoias. We inspect these during every oil change to ensure your front suspension stays intact.
- Secondary Air Injection Pumps: Tundras and Tacomas often trigger a “Limp Mode” due to moisture in the air pump. We can replace these pumps and valves to get your power back.
- Driveshaft Greasing: Unlike sedans, these trucks have greaseable zerks on the driveshaft. We include this in our truck-specific maintenance to prevent “thunking” when you stop or go.
RAV4 & Highlander
- Rear Differential Couplings: If you hear a “whirring” or “groaning” sound from the back of your AWD RAV4, it’s likely the magnetic coupling. We can replace this without needing to replace the entire rear end.
- Power Liftgate Struts: These often fail or become noisy on older Highlanders. We can swap these out so your trunk operates smoothly again.
Prius
- Inverter Cooling Pump: If this small pump fails, your hybrid system will overheat. It’s a common, easy-to-fix part that saves the much more expensive Inverter.
- 12V Auxiliary Battery: Many owners don’t realize the Prius still has a standard battery. When it gets weak, it causes “ghost” dashboard lights that look like major failures but are actually just a simple battery swap.

I had an excellent experience at Brisbon Automotive! I was able to get my brakes done the same day, which was a huge plus. The service was quick, efficient, and very reasonably priced. Travis, Matt, and the entire team took great care of me and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. It’s not always easy to find an auto shop you can trust, but this one definitely delivers.
Highly recommend — 10/10!

The staff was great and the service was great also. I work two jobs so it's hard for me to get anything done so when they said they would pick it up and drop it off I was sold.

Had an annoying squeak coming from my front suspension after having some work done at another mechanic. Told them about the squeak and they didn't find the issue. Took it to another mechanic and he also could not source it. Brought it to Brisbon Auto to get worked on and they were able to identify the issue and returned the car to me promptly, AT NO CHARGE. It was apparently a very easy repair, but took a trained eye to identify. Very grateful for Matt and Doc at Brisbon Auto for the work they did on my RAV4. Highly recommend.

If I could leave more stars I would ! The customer service was superb here. They were very responsive every step of the way. They also did very good work. My truck had that common roller lifter and camshaft ticker issue and these guys got in there and rebuilt it perfectly. If there was any other damages or problems seen they were sure to let me know.
The prices made perfect since after seeing the amount of professionalism and detail they put into their work.
We were also dealing with a very difficult warranty company and they still seemed to show a high level of professionalism and got everything done.
I would recommend these guys any day ! Thanks for the patience as well as making my truck healthy again !

We could not be any happier and pleased with the recent service we received at Brisbon Automotive Group. We had new tires put on with rotation and got the front and back brakes done. So, if you are looking for a place to have your vehicle service…. Brisbon Automotive Group is a great place to go. Not only are they friendly and do excellent work they really care about their customers!
