    I’ve driven past that shop many times and always tell myself to look them up later and I always forget. Maybe I should take a gamble with them.

    Yes they are close to my home
    I just havent had the need to use them yet.
    Ive heard good things from toyota base fb groups, but no real life
    Let me know if you do and it works out.

    For the Rav i go to Toy car Care on Potomac and arapahoe , thats by work so convenient, havent had any problems.

    Don't use Toy Auto masters in Englewood!!!

    Arizona ave and Cherokee st (Close to Santa Fe & 25)

    *No clue if they do alignments.

    Thinking about renting a camping trailer and was wondering if anyone has some where they'd recommend OR if they have one to rent themselves. Thinking some time in Aug.

    I found out a little more last night. The studio is having a LEGO moc display. And they didn't get enough entries. They want mine as filler for the empty shelves and will be labeled as "Private Collection".
    And they want them delivered and setup 10am Saturday morning. I lost interest but haven't said no.

    I'll try to give Tru a call today.

    I went to Toy Automotive about a year ago for an alignment and it was almost $800. Was more than I was hoping to pay and I felt like I got different stories over the phone versus in person. The actual alignment seemed fine, though.

    $800 for a one-time alignment seems ridiculous.

    Yeah, I think that's why I went there. I was looking for a shop known to work with SPA UCAs and someone recommended this shop because some alignment wiz had moved there. I called and they told me Brian could work on my truck. Took my truck in and they're like "you'll get whoever we give you."

    I should clarify that they charged me that much specifically because I have SPA UCAs. They like itemized every single adjustment of my UCAs. Felt like I got nickelbacked and dimed.

    You can still ask for an old member Jace at Stevinson West. Bit out there in the Colorado Mills but worth his expertise

    Ouch
    I had too pay alot for alignment with mine too, but only because my LCA eccentrics were frozen.
    This was probably 6-7 yrs ago
    Jace did them in fact
    Cleaned them all up greased, tack welded the tab, and aligned .I also have SPCs

    Scheduled an appointment with Tru. Guy on the phone seemed nice and helpful. Alignment check is $65. Alignment is $140 even for SPC. Much more reasonable than $800.

    I take my truck to him & Brian. They’re awesome but it’s dealer prices. My wife & I typically make a day out of it because we used to live in Golden & go to Coors for the “short tour” :cheers: She hasn’t drank since having the kid, sooo I get 6 beers. :drunk:


    Yes. You want to hit up Roberts Sales off federal. Great crew there. You can rent, buy a rental or buy new. We’re looking at buying one new. Hands down best pop up ppl in the entire metro area

    Gone are the days of the homie discount. Brian did so much work on my 1st gen in his bay at Groove for next to nothing. Forever greatful for that guy and the time(s) he gave on/off the trail.

    I second @Kappes03 recommendation to reach out to Jace for anyone else ever in need. He's also a great person to work with and builds/wheels his own stuff.
