    Hey everyone!

    One of my mechanic friends suggested that I joined this forum in the hopes that I could get a little bit of help. I live in Los Angeles and I have a 2005 Tacoma that needs some repairs. It’s nothing crazy, and I have the parts on hand, but I’m very low income and the person who was supposed to do the repairs for me is no longer responding to my messages.

    I’m in a tight spot financially and I really need to get these things fixed as soon as possible. I was hoping that somebody in here might have a good lead for me in my city. Or some other general advice. I know that I need the control arms on both sides replaced, as well as the rotors refinished and front brake pads. Thanks in advance.

    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    Welcome and best of luck!
    This place is great for DIY'ers and seems pretty good for making connections.

    Header along the top of the page, right below Tacoma World "Forums". Not sure of the easiest way on a phone, I don't spend a lot of time searching for things while on my phone.
