My go-to Land Cruiser tech is Goode’s Offroad in Rowlett/Garland. They’re one street over from Cool Cruisers of Texas too. Michael Goode is a former Mastertech at Toyota of Dallas and has pretty fair prices and quality service.
I know some DFW LC guys also go to Baertrax, Tandem Automotive, and Dajda’s Auto Care.
Dealership wise, I’ve liked Freeman Toyota and Toyota of Dallas.

I completely understand. I had a ES 350 (now handed down to my son when I got the LC) purchased new from Sewell and serviced at Sewell), wife has an RX 350 purchased from Park Place, which we service at Sewell.
It is a major step into the unwashed masses, going from Lexus service to Toyota service. Suffice it to say, you can get spoiled very easily in the Lexus dealerships but you definitely pay for the luxury.
I doubt that Sewell or a Toyota Dealer will do any mods, so that is why I am asking in addition to basic maintenance at a reasonable price.
thx for the info!! good to know
yes Baertrax has a great reputation
Does Goodes do body work and/or accessories ... I want to move forward with a lift and sliders and a couple other things but I’m hesitant on who to trust ....

Can also vouch for Mike Goode at Goode's off-road. He did a full top end rebuild on my supercharged 80 and the truck was returned to me in better condition than when I took it in, a rarity. Attention to detail, very busy shop, so you gotta be patient. This is coming from a picky owner - I've done all my own work on this truck for the past 10 years leading up to what Mike did for me.
They do everything - maintenance and mechanical, mods, and full resto's.

Yep they do everything. Bumpers, sliders, restorations, engine swaps, lifts, sliders, etc.
I appreciate all of the info on this thread. I just moved to Dallas this year and I've got an 88 FJ62 that needs some work. Will be heading over to Goodes in the next few weeks. Cheers

Park Place Lexus Plano - Service Manager (drives a lifted 470, highly modded 80 and wife a lifted modded GX) and Shop forman a highly modded 80.
Mod friendly dealer with great service.

Davenport in Plano is my third party Lexus/Toyota service center of choice.
How is the one in Colleyville? Does Davenport have Master Mechanics?
Called Park Place Lexus and they report that they do not do any LC mods. Is there a specific contact person there?
Pat Lobb in McKinney is mod friendly. Their service director drives a 200 and he talked me into the OEM spacer to level the front. If you drive around the rear of the dealership you will see heavily modded 60s, 80s 100s and even a 55 in the back. The 4 times I've been there for service on my 200 I've been happy - It's busy, but they set the wait time expectation well.
Just my personal experience, YMMV.

Longo is great for service, but when I inquired about a spacers install they couldn’t find anyone with experience and said it would be $1200.
