Mini Cooper vehicles are fun to drive but they’ve been known to develop oil leaks. At Toole’s Garage Stockton we offer complete Mini Cooper services including oil leak repair. So how can you tell if your Mini is leaking oil? Oil spots in the garage or on the driveway are, obviously, a dead giveaway (check that it’s oil, not just water from the ac system condensation). But monitoring oil level is also a good practice. If you notice that you have to add engine oil between regular oil changes, it may indicate an oil leak – let your mechanic know at the next oil change. If the oil is leaking on the engine part that gets hot, you may smell a strong, pungent odor from the engine area. If you notice any of these symptoms, let us know when you bring your Mini for a checkup. Common Areas/Causes of Mini Cooper Oil Leaks Damaged components, like O-rings or valve cover gasket are prime suspects when it comes to oil leaks. Worn out seals, like the crankshaft seal, could ... read more

Toole's Garage Stockton offers not only a full gamut of automotive services and repairs, but we also offer new tires, including Michelin tires - a perennial bestseller across California. It's hard to believe that Michelin tires have been manufactured for over one hundred and thirty years - yes, they have been around since 1889. And what we consider a modern, air-filled tire - well, Michelin has been offering those since 1895. So it's not surprising that Michelin is the second largest tire manufacturer in the world. If you are considering Michelin tires, your choices are plentiful indeed. We offer performance touring tires, high performance tires, light truck tires, SUV tires, minivan tires, as well as a variety of winter tires. Let us know what kind of driving you do, and we will match the tires to your driving style, vehicle, and typical road conditions. If you drive a Tesla, we offer Michelin Tesla tires as well. So when your vehicle needs new tires, call Toole's G ... read more

Toole's Garage is the premier hybrid repair shop in Stockton, so it's only natural that we service and repair a lot of Prius vehicles. We are big fans - that's for sure. Properly maintained Prius can easily go 300,000 miles or more. During that time it may need inverter replacement. Prius inverters have had their share of problems, and a while back Toyota even issues a recall for inverter related issues. Many vehicles had the work completed, but many may have sustained thermal damage before the recall was issued. As a result, these inverters may have to be replaced. This is in addition to inverter failure due to age and use - an event that is to be expected due to the longevity of Prius vehicles. Typical symptoms that may indicate possible inverter failure include power steering warning turning "on" as well as hybrid system warning. Our nationally ASE certified technicians can diagnose these warnings and let you know if the inverter is indeed the cause of these ... read more
