Denver Area Shops?

[Prismo]

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forums and new to Cruiser ownership. I just picked up a 1994 80, factory lockers, 159,000 miles. All in all, it's in great shape: two owners (father and daughter), head gasket done last year, lots of upkeep. The major things that need to be done are a PSP reseal/replace and a rear main seal leak fix.

Do any Denver mudders have recommendations for shops? I'm in the unenviable position of living in an apartment with no garage and a "no car work" rule. I took it to TOYEXUS on South Broadway for the initial inspection and the owner, Paul, seemed like a good guy. Just wondering who else is out there. Thanks so much for the tips and I'm excited to join the mudder community!

Hit up the Rising Sun TLCA group in the Clubhouse section. Super group of individuals all over Colorado. Slee Offroad is one that comes to mind immediately though. Sounds like a great find with low miles for a '94. Mine is about to roll 242,000.

Welcome to Mud! (mud salute of welcome)

Pretty sure there is a cruiser genius in Boulder? He's on here but I forget his name. @powderpig maybe? Edit* His name is Robbie.

Robbie in Boulder (if he's got time for you), Jesse at ATLR in Golden/Lakewood, Slee in Golden but beware their $howroom.

Ha! That showroom is tough to hang around in and not spend $$$...

Slava @ Irbis Offroad, near 6th and Chambers in Aurora. He used to own an 80 and really knows them. Irbis Offroad

Robbie would be my go to. Nice guy, super helpful and knows his stuff. I've got his contact info if you have a difficult time digging it up. PM me if needed.

Robbie is the go to guy in the area for engines. I had mine rebuilt and it just runs flawlessly! Beyond that, he is a really great guy! He is worth the wait.

Slee is in Golden and is widely and highly regarded.

Toyauto masters in Denver has good reviews and they fixed all my oil leaks on my 94. I had a great experience doing business with them. It's been almost a year since the work was done and still no leaks.

Thanks so much everybody who weighed in! I definitely knew about Slee, but wasn't sure if they dealt with the routine stuff. I'm planning to contact Robbie, but it's nice to know there's a lot of options if I need a quick turn around. Looking forward to lurking these boards!

If you need body work done in Denver by people who are easy to work with but will do it the right way - Premier Collision on Brighton Blvd. great people.

Comprehensive car care on Evans sees lots of toyotas and land cruisers. Also ToyDr is the place I take mine for routine stuff.
