Toyota & Lexus line models are a unique vehicle that rely on various electronic & mechanical modules for proper function. Many of the features can fail if maintenance is not performed rendering the car undriveable or simply less enjoyable
I can help you with many issues including the following
> Engine Electronic Control Unit (ECU) for 1UZ-FE, 1JZ-GTE and 2JZ-GE, 1KZ-TE, 3S-GTE, 4A-GE engines If you have bad idle, misfires and high fuel consumption the ECU is often at fault due to leaking capacitors that in turn damage the circuit board.
> Assist with Early 2000s Rav4 AZ computers that have harsh automatic shifting problems.
> Digital Dash unit (soarers), the lower half of the dash or upper section doesn't work on start up or has stopped working completely.
> EMV display (soarer and celsior), the touch screen in some V8 Soarers UZZ31 and UZZ32 can develop faults, usually a white screen or not responding to touch commands.
> Stereo units, if your stereo unit has stopped working well, is quiet or has other odd functions in most cases it can be repaired returning the sound to factory.
> Nitrogen Brake Booster, reseal and regas
> I will also look at other common problem areas

Soarer Z20 (1980s) and Z30 1991-2000 with the following chassis codes, JZZ30, JZZ31, UZZ30, UZZ31, UZZ32
