Mechanic in Scottsdale/NE Phoenix area? (1 Viewer)

[DoctorJay]

Looking for someone to do a pre-purchase inspection. Rig is owned by a fellow MUD member, and serviced at Camelback Toyota. I'd like to get it to another shop, since I'm looking at a long-distance purchase. I've seen some really good reports about the place in Mesa, but that may be a bit far.

TIA for advice/recommendations!

Big Two Toyota of Chandler is where my LC was serviced previous to my purchase. I met the mechanic named Marco, he seemed legit and mild mannered. I can't give him the full recommendation though as I have never actually done business with him. Good luck!

I think Mesa would be closer to Cammelback though.

Toyo Motors, Bell Rd & 28th Street, 602-971-8137.

Can't remember the owner's name, but he drives a beautiful lifted 80 that you'll see out front. They did a lot of work on my 1991 FJ80 when I had it and never let me down; they also seem to be able to get nice pricing on Toyota parts.

They are a small independent, as you may have guessed, but they will also save you some $$ over running to the open arms (jaws?) of the dealership.

I haven't needed them for my 100 (watch, now that I've said that...) but I'd take it there with confidence if a situation came up.

PS- located about 15-20min from Camelback Toyota-- 51 North, Bell Rd. exit, turn left, drive about a mile & they're on the right.

Thanks guys. BManning that sounds like it's in the neighborhood. I'm not looking for a LTR, just a pre-purchase inspection. I always like the indy guys better than the dealerships anyway...

Got nothing to add, but didn't you just sell your 100?

Good luck with the purchase.

I did. Through a long process, which will likely be the topic of a future thread, I've decided that the best replacement is probably another 100.
