Quick lube place messed up my Camry – time to find someone who actually uses the right filter

    So I made the mistake of taking my 2018 Camry to one of those drive through oil change places near Electra Street because I was in a hurry, and long story short they over tightened the filter housing and now there's a slow leak. I'm done chasing cheap convenience. I just want a proper toyota camry synthetic oil change and filter service done by people who know these engines and won't cross thread anything. Stumbled across Exotic Auto Services while looking for Camry oil change options in Abu Dhabi and the reviews seem decent, but has anyone actually used them for a routine oil service? I'm mainly concerned whether they use genuine Toyota filters or at least something high quality, and if they actually take the time to lubricate the gasket and torque it properly. Also do they reset the maintenance light without charging extra? I don't mind paying a bit more for peace of mind, I just can't handle another garage that treats a Camry like a rental car.
