Looking for good mechanic.

New to this Forum.
Looking for a mechanic to install new shocks front and rear on my Tacoma.
I Live in Santa Rosa California so someone relatively local.
Is it better to buy my shocks on line and find someone to install it or have a lift suspension shop do the whole thing.

 

You might get more attention by posting in your regional forum.

Your best bet is to buy new quality bits online and find local enthusiasts to help you learn how to DIY for the mere cost of burgers and beverages.

 

I would check the regional section specifically Norcal section. I do lift kits and maintenance, but I'm in SoCal, so no help to you.

You will save money finding a local small shop or local backyard Toyota enthusiast. Just make sure they have good reviews of their work.

 

New shocks is all? YouTube, maybe a buddy and some basic tools..

 

My first basic lift kit on my personal Tacoma took me 2 full days. Now I can do 2 full lift kits in 1 day.

Some folks don't have the tools, a place to work, time, etc. Many reasons why someone wants to pay another to help them get the job done right. Like a plumber or electrician.

 

Here is the rear shocks video from the Maintenance Map.

No doubt! Just a mere suggestion given that none of us really have too much of a backstory on OP situation

 

I am an honest proponent of DIY. He didn't ask how can he install his own lift kit. He asked who can install it for him. That's where I was coming from.

 

Installing front shocks isn’t as easy as it sounds.
Install the whole coil over assembly, yes. That is “easy”.
But just shocks…….not so much.
