Cruisin’
there is a place called mostly toyotas, or known commonly as mostly's. dont have a number for you though.
I wanted someone to go over my rig top to bottom. I chose Merriam Automotive in Duluth, Ga- Peter is the owner and comes highly recommended. I will probably use Mostly's after that.....or do it myself with FSM I just ordered. My 60 is finally getting dropped off tomorrow after a long wait... first thing is underbody chassis cleaning- I did my Tacoma today for practice- very dirty job, but so satisfying.

I need a good mechanic in the vicinity of Mebane (Alamance County). Driving an fj80 with an inspection sticker that expired last January. Already replaced O2 sensor, VSV and ECR. Getting a PO401 code. Does the "PO" stand for Pxxsed-off?
Howdy all! Can anyone recommend a shop who knows LC knuckles? Thanks in advanced!

the fj80 i bought from ashville had most of the work done at mostly toyota according to the PO. while i don't know the mechanics side of the story the PO said he just had them do a brake job on it cause the rear brake was smoking and he said they just put new pads on and it was fine. the rear piston was pitted and the brake fliud was so bad the bleeder was fused soild. not my idea of a quality shop, but like i said the PO may have told the mechanic not to fix it. knowing nothing else about the shop i would say keep this in mind.

Is Tar heel 4wd the only good 4wd shop near charlotte. I am now determined to track down and squash this annoying death wobble I get from 30-40 mph and would like someone wiser than I to look at it. 
Thank you Greg! I'm all about the HAMOM, I don't know a lot about LC's mechanically, but I am a quick learner. Look forward to helping out and learning in future HAMOMs.
I'm not even sure if this is the right place to post this but I am looking for a good general Toyota mechanic in Winston Salem. I have owned a 95 FJZ80 that I have decided to keep and restore and although I have maintained it with proper oil changes etc.. I'd like to have it looked at by someone who knows Toyotas.
My past mechanic was good at taking care of maintenance but was wondering if any of you Triad guys knew of someone you could recommend that is trustworthy and priced well.
I know I need the brakes checked and after having my oil changed yesterday, they told me that I had a small oil leak. I thought this was a good time to have it in to be looked over. It is probably in line for an overall tune up too.
Thanks in advance,

Good general repair shop in Greensboro??? Been searching the archives with no luck..don't need lifts or anything 4WD related, just good, honest, knowledgeable basic maintenance and repair service for a reasonable price on a Toyota Highlander that just rolled off factory warranty. Thanks!
Moving to the crystal coast this week with my FJ60. Any shops in the area for repairs?
Thanks
Thanks
Not a full blown cruiser shop but Baldrees in havelock is a club member and a sponsor. Sent u a pm
I need to have a pre-purchase inspection done on the '85 4Runner. Anyone know a place west of Raleigh or even around / south of Chapel Hill that would have a little knowledge of a 22re or at least an older Toyota? The Dealership may even be a good place to do considering the potential new owner may prefer that - but thought I might find a specialty shop.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I am a bit off in Raeford but can do it if you find no one closer.
