Known mechanics in SC, NC or VA?

[cruisin4bruisins]

Hello everyone, I'm going to be moving from Boston, MA to Raleigh, NC soon and I wanted to see if anyone in the area knows of any good Toyota 4x4 mechanics in SC, NC or VA.
Also any cool trails to hit in the area would be awesome to know!
* Will be getting beefier tires when I move, these A/Ts aren't cutting it lol

Hi, nice rig! Sorry I don't have specific recs for the NC/SC/VA region. But there are possibly some experienced shops in Charleston as that's where I saw the highest number of Hundys in a city per day ever Both like-new stock ones and highly modified ones.

Do you happen to know of any great Toyota mechanic/shops in the Boston/NH/Maine area? Thanks in advance!

Uhwarrie state park has trails, some good trails in western NC, and lots of trails in western parts of VA along the national forest corridors!! Iron Pig Offroad in Fredericksburg VA is great and have done work for me personally. I saw some posts about Oak City Performance in Youngesville, NC and this guy did some good work installing dough thorley headers so sounded like a good option and worth a call.

I would plug in to the local club first NC- Olde North State Cruisers - https://forum.ih8mud.com/forums/nc-olde-north-state-cruisers.54/ they will have the best intel for anyone local to your area. However, like mentioned above Trollhole and IPOR are great choices. You also have @OTRAMM in Northern VA and @matzell shop Willow Lawn Service Center in Richmond.

Good luck and look forward to seeing you at an event

The job I was going to take actually fell through so I'm still in Boston area. Ive done most of my work myself but some of the tougher things I've ended up going to a local mechanic. Knock on wood I haven't had any real issues. I got lucky with my local shop but I would just look for something in your area with good reviews on google. Maybe even an asian vehicle specific mechanic. Good luck

I just had Renaissance Auto in Cary do my Timing Belt/Water Pump, they did a great job. They had no issues with me bringing the cruiser outfitters kit and encouraged me to buy a few more OEM bits to do while in there. They do mostly BMW and Mercedes stuff but they have a guy in the back that grew up working on Cruisers in South America
