    Im looking to do a fluid swap on my 2008 Tacoma. I wanted to hear your recommendations for a shop within 20 miles of La Habra. I plan on buying fluid and just having them do the work. I just want a shop that is knowledgeable and takes pride in their work.

    Did you bring your fluid? If so, how many did you use?

    I recommend Toyota WS. I bought extra and have a case (6 quarts) remaining if you need. PM me for price. I just want what I paid and don't want to return it because they charge a restocking fee.
