Whats your definition of the difference between a mechanic and a technician? Not being a smart-a**, just curious....

I've had good luck with Jeff (the owner) at Toyz in Liberty, NC (near Burlington, NC) Toyz Unlimited Toyota, Lexus, and Scion Specialists

Straight up guy that knows his stuff but gets really busy and takes a while to get an appointment.

But knowing where you are would help narrow it down.

Location

About an hour east of Raleigh, but travel to the western part (Banner Elk and Asheville areas) couple times a month. Does not matter as long as they really know Toyotas.

Difference between a mechanic and a tech: tech's are mostly the guys at the dealerhsips that only know what the computer tells them or what they have read in a book or class. Mechanic is the guy that maybe went to school, but definitely learned the old fashioned way.

Post here.

While some of us NC folks have seen this thread not all of us own 80's or hang in 80's tech. There should be a few in our club that could point you in the right direction.
