From the Camry to the Tacoma, Toyotas are built to last — and our Warwick shop helps them go the distance. Our technicians service every Toyota model with the right Techstream scan tools, factory-spec parts, and 17 years of hands-on experience — at a fraction of dealership pricing.
Toyotas are built to outlast almost everything else on the road — but Rhode Island's climate still puts them through it. Salt-coated winters near Conimicut, beach trips to Oakland Beach, and the rough patches of Route 117 all add up. Every Toyota — Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Highlander, 4Runner, Tacoma, Tundra, Sienna, Prius, Avalon, or older Matrix and Venza — has its own service patterns. Knowing those patterns is what separates a shop that just works on Toyotas from one that helps you keep them for 250,000 miles and beyond.
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 Toyota issues by heart — 2AZ-FE oil consumption, 1MZ-FE valve cover leaks, Tacoma frame rust, water pump failures, hybrid battery wear, V6 timing belt intervals. We diagnose them quickly, fix them right, and skip the dealership prices. Most Toyota service jobs are done same day at our shop on Locust Ave.
Every Toyota service includes a free video inspection sent straight to your phone. You see the leaking water pump, the cracked exhaust manifold gasket, or the worn lower ball joint before any work begins. That kind of straight-up communication is why Toyota owners from Apponaug, Conimicut, Hoxsie, Cowesett, and Oakland Beach trust our Warwick auto shop with their daily commuters and family haulers 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 Toyota needs a quick oil change or major engine work, you'll get straight answers and honest pricing every time.

Toyotas are some of the most reliable vehicles on the road — but every model has its own pattern of issues. Here are the most common Toyota problems we diagnose and fix at our Warwick shop.
The 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine in 2007–2011 Camry, RAV4, and Scion tC is known for high oil consumption from worn piston rings. We diagnose with consumption tests and offer the proper repair options.
Toyota V6 engines develop oil leaks at the valve cover gaskets and timing cover. Common across Camry, Sienna, Avalon, and Highlander. We address the source so the leak doesn't return.
1995–2010 Tacomas and 2000–2003 Tundras are notorious for frame rust. We inspect, rustproof, and address structural concerns before they become safety issues. Honest assessment, no scare tactics.
Prius, Camry Hybrid, and RAV4 Hybrid batteries lose capacity over time. We test the battery health and replace failed cells or full packs as needed — much less than dealer pricing.
Older V6 Toyotas (Camry, Sienna, Avalon, 4Runner) use a timing belt that needs replacement at 90,000–100,000 miles. We do the full job with water pump and tensioner — never just the belt alone.
Toyota 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.
From routine maintenance to major repairs, our technicians handle every part of your Toyota. Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Highlander, 4Runner, Tacoma, Tundra, Sienna, Prius, Avalon — all models, all years.
Full synthetic 0W-20 or 5W-30 oil and OEM-grade filters for every Toyota engine — 4-cylinder, V6, V8, and hybrid. See oil change service.
Quality pads and rotors sized correctly for your Camry, RAV4, Tacoma, or whatever Toyota you drive. Hybrid regen brake systems handled. See brake repair.
Fluid service and repairs on Toyota A340, A750, AB60, and modern 8-speed automatics — plus CVT service for Corolla and RAV4. See transmission repair.
Control arms, ball joints, struts, shocks, and four-wheel alignment to Toyota factory specs. Critical for keeping your Toyota tracking straight on RI roads.
Full timing belt service on V6 Camry, Sienna, Avalon, and 4Runner — done together with water pump and tensioner the right way. We never replace just the belt alone.
ECM, TCM, BCM, hybrid system, and module diagnostics. Our Techstream scan tools talk to every Toyota module — no guesswork. See check engine light.
AC recharge, compressor replacement, heater core service, and blend door repair on every Toyota model. See AC & heat repair.
Valve cover gaskets, head gaskets, timing chains, and major engine work on every Toyota. From legendary 22R-E pickups to modern direct-injection engines. See engine repair.
Get your Toyota's sticker handled at the same visit as service. Most inspections completed same day at our certified Warwick shop.
Toyotas are vehicles you can count on for the long haul. Family runs to Newport, snow drives through Coventry, daily commutes on I-95, weekend trips to the Cape. We help you keep them running for hundreds of thousands of miles — and skip the dealership wait.
See the worn ball joint, the leaking pump, the failed sensor. Every Toyota service includes a video walkthrough sent by text — full transparency.

A 1998 Camry with the 5S-FE and a 2024 RAV4 Hybrid are completely different vehicles. Different engines, different transmissions, different electronic systems. We service the full Toyota lineup — old and new — with the right Techstream scan tools, factory-spec parts, and the patience to diagnose properly. That's why so many Kent County Toyota owners send their friends our way.

Quick answers to the Toyota questions we hear most often at the shop.
Service costs depend on the job. Oil changes, brake jobs, and routine maintenance are typically much less than dealership pricing. Bigger repairs like timing belts or hybrid battery service are quoted upfront after diagnosis. No surprises.
Yes. We test, repair, and replace hybrid batteries in Prius, Camry Hybrid, RAV4 Hybrid, and Highlander Hybrid. Often we can replace failed cells instead of the full pack — saving you significant money over dealer pricing.
Yes. We work on every generation of Toyota — including older 4Runners with the 3.4L V6, Matrix wagons, and original RAV4 models. Older Toyotas are some of the most rewarding cars to keep on the road.
No. We use factory-spec parts and Toyota Techstream scan tools to handle most service jobs — usually for less than dealership pricing. Your warranty stays intact when service is done by qualified techs with proper documentation.
Most maintenance and routine repairs are same-day service. Bigger jobs like timing belt replacement, head gaskets, or hybrid battery work may need the vehicle for 2 to 5 days. We give a clear timeline at drop-off.
If you have an older V6 (Camry, Sienna, Avalon, 4Runner with the 1MZ-FE or 3MZ-FE), the timing belt is due at 90,000–100,000 miles. We always replace it together with the water pump and tensioner — never just the belt.
From Apponaug Village to Oakland Beach, we keep Kent County Toyota owners on the road. Walk-ins welcome when the schedule allows.
