    Handing over the 02 PreRunner to my eldest son and want to get the timing belt replaced before so. Had it done ~70k mark and it's sitting at around ~150k now. All leads appreciated!

    Check out DIABLO OFF ROAD AND PERFORMANCE in Walnut Creek. Cliff there is a great honest mechanic. I had him put on my toytec lift and he did it at a reasonable price. Was also very informative. He's had his shop there for sometime.

    Franks in concord. He used to work at ToyotaPro but struck out on his own. I dint remember the exact name of his shop.

    When I moved to Santa Rosa I kept two things. My dentist and Frank.

    Franks is the most solid and honest mechanic I’ve ever met. I still take him stuff to fix.

    Motorsport techniques in Hayward. Mission Auto Repair in Fremont. I've had great experiences with both shops.
