Another 'Local Shop Recommendation' Thread

[yohavos]

Hey everyone,

It seems the new LX450 needs a head gasket. The rig hasn't overheated or anything, but there's definite coolant leak from the rear of the block where the HG is and I've noticed a little bit of water in my oil catch can.

If anyone happens to have a recommendation for a shop that may have some familiarity with the 1FZFE, I would really appreciate it.


Thanks,

Mike

Decided to go with Vandervert Automotive after a few calls. They were able to diagnose the head gasket leak.

They've been super helpful with all my requests and will be using strictly OEM parts, maintaining the PHH kit, etc... I have especially appreciated that the guy I've been dealing with has his name on the sign.

I'm hoping to have the old girl in the exhaust shop by the end of next week, and back on the road afterwards!
