Mechanic or shop in New England/CT/MA/RI/etc

[BTraci]

Our beloved series 100 is starting to have some driveline problems, and the Toyota dealer only wants to mass replace everything at extraordinary cost. Does anyone on here have a shop or mechanic in the northeast/New England (CT, MA, or RI preferably) that they recommend that is experienced with series 100 vehicles? Thanks greatly for any assistance,

Best,
Rob

What kind of driveline problems?

What kind of driveline problems?

I think spindle bearing problems--loud groans front the front driveline when decelerating or turning, doesn't happen when accelerating. Wheel bearings had been loose; repacked and tightened them, but still have groans and shudders from the front

I can recommend 2 shops in MA. BDR likely closer to you.

I highly recommend the folks at Dowling Toyota in Litchfield, CT. Small, old-school dealer that sees many older LC's and LX's.

Matt is the service manager and a master Toyota technician. Good people...

I don't know that this will help your specific issue given the location, but for those searching for a good 100 mechanic in Western CT, I thought I would share anyways.

Alex Thompson at Toyota Performance Center in New Milford, CT has been a godsend for me, I highly recommend him. He's a straight shooter, a hard worker, his prices are very fair, and he's quite knowledgeable on the trucks.
