From the xB to the FR-S, Scions are Toyota-engineered cars built for younger drivers and enthusiasts — and they deserve a shop that knows them inside and out. Our Warwick technicians service every Scion model with the right Toyota Techstream scan tools, factory-spec parts, and 17 years of hands-on experience — at a fraction of dealership pricing.
Scion was Toyota's youth-focused brand from 2003 to 2016 — and even though the brand is gone, the cars are still on the road and going strong with proper care. Rhode Island's climate puts them through it, though. Salt-coated winters near Conimicut, beach trips to Oakland Beach, and the rough patches of Route 117 all add up. Every Scion — xA, xB, xD, tC, iQ, iA, iM, FR-S — has its own service patterns. Knowing those patterns is what separates a shop that just works on Scions from one that helps you keep them running for the long haul.
Primary Care Auto Repair has served Warwick, Cranston, East Greenwich, and the rest of Kent County for 17 years. Owner Jeff Roy and our technicians know the common Scion issues by heart — 2AZ-FE oil consumption on tC, valve cover gasket leaks, water pump failures, FR-S Subaru-built FA20 boxer engine quirks, manual transmission service, AC compressor failures. We diagnose them quickly, fix them right, and skip the dealership prices. Most Scion service jobs are done same day at our shop on Locust Ave.
Every Scion service includes a free video inspection sent straight to your phone. You see the leaking water pump, the worn lower ball joint, or the failing AC compressor before any work begins. That kind of straight-up communication is why Scion owners from Apponaug, Conimicut, Hoxsie, Cowesett, and Oakland Beach trust our Warwick auto shop with their daily commuters and weekend cars alike.
The shop sits at 33 Locust Ave, just off Post Road, minutes from Warwick Mall, T.F. Green Airport, and the Route 2 corridor. Easy access from I-95 and Route 117 makes drop-off simple from anywhere in Kent County. Whether your Scion needs a quick oil change or major engine work, you'll get straight answers and honest pricing every time.

Scion owners know their vehicles aren't perfect — every model has its own pattern of issues. Here are the most common Scion problems we diagnose and fix at our Warwick shop.
The 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine in 2005–2010 tC models is known for high oil consumption from worn piston rings. We diagnose with consumption tests and offer the proper repair options.
Scion engines develop oil leaks at the valve cover, oil filter housing, and timing cover. Common across xA, xB, xD, and tC. We address the source so the leak doesn't return.
Scion water pumps fail on schedule, often around 100,000 miles. We replace with quality OEM-grade pumps, refresh the coolant, and check the radiator and hoses at the same time.
The FR-S uses Subaru's FA20 boxer engine — known for valve spring recalls, oil consumption, and direct-injection carbon buildup. We diagnose properly and address the root cause.
Many Scions came with manual transmissions — and the gearboxes need proper fluid service. We handle clutch replacement, shifter linkage, and transmission fluid changes with OEM-spec parts.
Scion AC compressors and clutches wear out over time. We diagnose properly with pressure testing, and replace components honestly — not the whole system when it's not needed.
From routine maintenance to major repairs, our technicians handle every part of your Scion. xA, xB, xD, tC, iQ, iA, iM, FR-S — all models, all years.
Full synthetic 0W-20 or 5W-30 oil and OEM-grade filters for every Scion engine — 1NZ-FE, 2NZ-FE, 2AZ-FE, 1NR-FE, 2ZR-FE, and FA20 boxer. See oil change service.
Quality pads and rotors sized correctly for your xB, tC, FR-S, or whatever Scion you drive. Performance pads available for FR-S. See brake repair.
Fluid service and repairs on Scion automatics, manual transmissions, and CVT (iA). Plus clutch replacement and shifter linkage repair. See transmission repair.
Control arms, ball joints, struts, shocks, and four-wheel alignment to Scion factory specs. Critical for keeping your Scion handling sharp on RI roads.
Water pumps, thermostats, radiators, and hose replacement. Common across the Scion lineup. We catch leaks before engine damage starts.
ECM, TCM, BCM, and module diagnostics. Our Toyota Techstream scan tools talk to every Scion module — no guesswork. See check engine light.
AC recharge, compressor replacement, heater core service, and blend door repair on every Scion model. See AC & heat repair.
Valve cover gaskets, head gaskets, oil leaks, and major engine work on every Scion. From the rugged xB and tC to the FR-S boxer engine. See engine repair.
Get your Scion's sticker handled at the same visit as service. Most inspections completed same day at our certified Warwick shop.
Scions are practical, fun, well-engineered vehicles built on Toyota reliability. Daily commutes on I-95, weekend canyon runs in the FR-S, snow drives through Coventry. We help you keep them running long after the brand is gone — and skip the dealership wait.
See the worn ball joint, the leaking pump, the failed sensor. Every Scion service includes a video walkthrough sent by text — full transparency.

Owner Jeff Roy brings 17 years of hands-on auto repair experience. You talk directly to the team working on your Scion, every visit.
xA, xB, xD, tC, iQ, iA, iM, FR-S. Every generation, every engine, every drivetrain configuration.
A 2005 xB with the 1.5L 1NZ-FE and a 2016 FR-S with the FA20 boxer are completely different vehicles. Different engines, different transmissions, different electronic systems. We service the full Scion lineup with the right Toyota Techstream scan tools, factory-spec parts, and the patience to diagnose properly. That's why so many Kent County Scion owners send their friends our way.

Yes. Scion is built on Toyota engineering, so parts and service are still readily available. We service every Scion model with the same Toyota Techstream tools and factory-spec parts we've always used.

Yes. We work on every Scion model — first-gen xB and xA, the popular tC sport coupe, iQ city car, iA sedan, iM hatchback, and the FR-S. Each has its own quirks, and our techs know them well.
Most Scion parts are shared with Toyota models, so they're widely available through our standard parts network. Even harder-to-find pieces are usually accessible through specialty suppliers we work with regularly.
Most maintenance and routine repairs are same-day service. Bigger jobs like engine repair, transmission work, or AC compressor replacement may need the vehicle for 2 to 5 days. We give a clear timeline at drop-off.
Yes. The 2AZ-FE oil consumption issue on 2005–2010 tC models is a known fault from worn piston rings. We diagnose with consumption tests and offer the proper repair options based on what's right for your specific vehicle.
