    Have you looked up Simply Toyota in Redlands? I've only been there a few times but I've been happy with their service so far.

    I've used The Toy Shop in Cypress before. Robert was previously a Toyota Technician and uses OEM parts. His prices are pretty fair too. Not sure if he's still there, but he has a younger guy Jared who can install lifts and what not as well.

    I am a Mechanic at Top Line Performance in Huntington Beach. We do tons of Tacomas, Land Cruisers, 4runners, etc. Highly recommend, years of experience with Toyota/Lexus.

    I do side jobs sometimes too. :thumbsup:

    Second the recommendation. Simply Toyota is independent. Less expensive and better than dealership.
