I just spent the last 8 years with all my closest friends being mechanics and learning new things has always intrigued me, so I spent these years learning about different vehicles and I know so many people love Toyotas. Two of my friends mostly worked on VW vehicles but, I don't have a favorite major car brand yet. Working with Toyota highly intrigues me, and I have loved Lexus vehicles since my aunt got one.
