    If I bring my truck in for Rear Leaf Spring TSB I am concerned about amatuers working on my truck. Could some of the resident experts chime in and post which dealerships they work at. Also if I go to your dealership could I specify a mechanic to do the work.I would not want you to get in trouble so I would not mention Tacomaworld if necessary.
    Thanks in advance and I'm sure you all understand my concerns.
    P.S. I'm in the Orlando area.

    Do dealerships allow you to request a specific mechanic to work on your truck?

    If toyota tech 31 could chime in. Does DM Toyota typically give a hard time regarding the Rear Leaf Spring TSB. I would be coming from Windermere so its' a little bit of a ride for me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Did someone mention my name?

    Alright, i would need the info for your truck (VIN and personal stuff) so i can make a ticket and get them ordered. Last set i did were on backorder, so i will have to find out for sure. Do you mind waiting till next month? How many miles are on your truck and why do you want the tsb done?

    Sorry so many questions, just need to get my facts straight so i can talk to the shop foreman and get his blessings (usually not a problem)

    Jason, PM sent. About how long does it take to complete this work as I have to decide if I will wait or maybe rent a car to get home. Please let me know if you need further info to help the process. Thanks.
