Addresses for MAF and TLC are very stale.

Went to go see Jose Riveria from MetroCruisers in Belleville, NJ about my FJ62. Really nice guy and very knowledgeable. Pretty cool shop with a bunch of different cruisers in the parking lot. Anybody in the area should go check his shop out. His prices are very fair and great guy to do business with. It shows his location as NY but it is actually.

I think this guy is long gone. That phone number belongs to someone else and the phone number listed online (973) 759-0770 for this shop is disconnected.

Looking for a 100 Series specialist in Oklahoma. Preferably Oklahoma City area. Any recommendations? My ride is a 2002 LX470

Any mobile mechanics that will come out to Alexandria, Va? I know Iron Pig is out there (about an hour away) but would be tough for me to tow it there and have them fix same day.

Any Cruiserheads our by me that can lend a hand?

Not sure what the range is for @OTRAMM , but he definitely qualifies as mobile, in VA, with experience in LCs

 

[OTRAMM]

We used to be mobile. Moved in to a shop 2ish years ago and dropped the mobile side.

Did you ever find anyone good in NJ?

i just landed in Kansas City if anyone has a good guy out here

I'll be taking my 80 to Yotamasters in Corona, CA next month for a full front axle refresh, 4.88 gears, panhard, full suspension bushing OEM refresh and maybe brakes. I'll post my review after the job is done. Long lead time to schedule.

Norwalk Toyota via service GM, Javier, has been pleasant so far. Parts pricing is competitive. Had them recently replace all HVAC hoses, power steering pump/hoses, starter, radiator, flush coolant, fuel filter, heater control valve, PHH, blue fan clutch, water pump, etc. So far, so good!

They both work on 60s. Dealership owner is an LC fan. Has museum quality FJ40s and a 60 in the showroom.

 

[Fj6084proj]

Hey guys, I'm new into the LC fascination. I just recently purchased an 84'. It runs great from the little driving I have done with it, but I know it needs some TLC, some of it I won't have the mechanical knowledge to do. I live in the heart of TN and am looking to see if there are any recommendations for a solid LC specialist in Mid-TN. I saw on here:
Steve's Offroad
10710 Dallas Hollow Road
Soddy Daisy, TN 37379
(423) 332-0642

This may be my only option, it's about 3hrs away. Thank you for help!

Map of Cruiser Mechanics.

The above is a google fusion map of the data in the post of mechanics.
Some of the replies have already been added.
As soon as I can get information from the OP where to start looking for new mechanics I'll start updating.
I'll also update as new posts appear.

That map is bad ass. Great work.

 

[Fj6084proj]

That map is badass. Great work.

Incredible, thank you. This forum has yet to cease amazing me at what can be dug up!

Thanks so much for doing this!

Great guys and reasonable. They worked on my 62 last week installed a CA9013 pioneer "accelerator cable" to replace my discontinued throttle cable. They even have a "parts guru" that can find parts for you.

I am no longer in CO. I am relocated to the Hudson Valley of NY.

I am still available for assistance and am taking mechanical work on a case-by-case basis.

Shout out to Eric here....he came out to help me with my first-ever knuckle rebuild. It went swimmingly. His expertise is insane. I thought I did my homework but could barely keep up. Good dude - reach out to him w/o hesitation. Just a pleasure to hang out with, work with, and a legit Cruiserhead.

I live in TC. I had been using Dave’s Garage because of this thread. Great folk. But came to realize, they were sending all the hard stuff over to Garfield Auto. Garfield Auto has rebuilt a number of 2Fs. They are very familiar w/ Cruisers. They fixed all my carb issues and are currently doing a refurbished head install [from Ed at Classic Cruisers] w/ new gasket. Excellent work. Fair pricing,
