My sales and service experiences at Lia Toyota have been consistently excellent for 14 years now, first with my 2008 Toyota Corolla LE and currently with my 2021 Toyota Corolla SE Premium. I actually purchased my first Corolla new in 1973 from State Toyota, which I believe was owned by the Lia family at that time as well. Great cars, great service, great place to do business.

Michael Richards just looked underneath the car, where I said the noise was coming from, and said it was the splash shield. It was as simple a repair as he said it would be and there was no charge for the More
