    Hi all, I bought a 2000 Prerunner recently, and am looking for a trustworthy shop that might specialize in our beloved off-roaders and mall crawlers. I live in an apartment so there are only so many kinds of DIY fixes I can do in the parking garage, and I know I need to get an oil leak checked out on it.
    Do any DFW folks know of a place that would be a good one stop shop? I know about 4 Wheel Parts, and there is an independent Lexus/Toyota shop near me as well. Advice and tips appreciated!

    You'll get more answers if you ask in the right section. This section is geared toward home garage/workshop topics. There is a whole TX region section (https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/texas.46/), and a DFW BS thread (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/dfw-bs-thread-june-meet-drink-tbd.442133/) in that section.

    4WP isn't necessarily bad. Like any other shop, it depends on what they specialize in, the quality of the work they turn out, and how the shop is run.

    I had a shop in VA do the SUA conversion, frame boxing, and shock relocate on my truck. Supposedly, they specialize in working on Toyotas and other forum members had recommended them, but everything they did to my truck was fucked up in one way or another. The first shop was unresponsive when I brought up all the issues, and I had to go through my credit cards dispute process to get refunded for all the bad work. The 4WP in Richmond, VA fixed all the things that the first shop did wrong and did top notch work.
