New to the group and forum, just picked up an ‘05 LX that I need to have some work done on, just don’t have time to do anything now a days. Looking for any recommendations for Indie shops that do get work at reasonable rates in/around Boston or MA in general. Typical preventative maintenance, timing belt w/all associates pulleys,tensioners, etc, heater t’s, brakes all the way around, torsion bar upgrade to non AHC LC TB’s…any info or leads are appreciated!

What Would Steve Zissou Do?
There are no late model LC specific shops around Boston. Owners of three of the local shops I have worked with over the past 15 years are all 5 hair cuts away from retirement and not taking new customers. There are few independent shops, noted in this thread, who service and modify LCs and LRs. For routine PM on 100s ask local dealers if they have a tech who knows their way around 100s. Also, some corner service stations can be a good option if they know Toyota trucks, Lebanese guys tend to know 80s and 100s. I know one used car dealer who specializes in Toyota south shore who knows 100 very well, North African guys. Good luck!
What's the name of the South Shore place?
Appreciate the info, and the pointers, I’ll ask around at some dealers and hopefully get in touch with someone familiar with the 100 series

Were you out in Peterborough a couple weeks ago? Were you the guy in the white LX with full rack who waved to me? (not many LX470 with hi air intakes 'round these parts)
Probably not, I'm in California for the summer! Also don't have a full roof rack. Will be back in the Worcester area this fall, though.

Sure, I don’t know many people here.
I am new to Labdcruisers and this area of the globe.
Sounds good to me.

Boston, but family is in needham and the shop I work with is in Framingham
Not a lot of takers on the original offer but if we can get to 6/8 LCs I think we should do it!

Yes, set of (5) 18" with 4 decent condition Nokian WR tires. 200 bux in Jaffrey NH off of my '04 100
Appreciate the reply, really only looking for the rims, have a brand new set of blizzak’s I’m looking to mount up on some rims, thanks for the offer though, greatly appreciated
Got this today, looks like they forgot to take the old ads down 
I would be very interested as well. Just bought a 2000 LC down south and brought it up top Boston. How do we make that happen?
