GA Tacoma Owners BS Thread

well then my offer drops to 19k because its just way too cool. (don't know if I count though)

 

Please be careful who you let work on your truck for two reasons. First, the people who work at those quick lube places are untrained high school drop outs making minimum wage. We often get the vehicles that they screw up working on them. And often times the quick lube refuses to pay for the repairs. Secondly, you need to be careful what kind of fluid they will use. Most of those places use "universal" trans fluid that can cause shifting problems. If you don't have the money to have it done properly right now, wait a month or two until you do. find a real repair shop with qualified people working there. just google repair shops in your area and read the reviews.

 

is stanaco good enough?

 

Pics?

 

I would say so. The 2 head mechanics there are 2nd generation mechanics who's dad open the shop back in the 60's. We've got 2-3 big-name places here in Jackson, but everyone uses Stananco because they're a small business who've been here for years. I trust them with my truck and I baby the hell out of my truck. Generally, I try to do most of the work myself, but I do go to them for my trans flushes and have never had any issues with them at all

 

ill prob go there, but people need to stop hating haveline. I know the guys at the one I go to and I watch them do the work. I only go there for brakes and belts anyways.... I do oil myself.(which I buy haveline synthetic oil)

 

Brakes and belts are just as easy!

 

my dad hasn't done it, so I have no1 to teach me... im always willing to learn if you guys need a hand with stuff....

 

Oh yeah! I'll help with those lol.

Trans flush is just a pita haha

 

hey, whenever your available shoot me a pm!

 

Man I know it's sometimes scary to tear your truck apart to work on it but YouTube videos are your friend when your working on something.

And always buy the expensive belts I've bought the cheapest ones and they stretched out so much in 6 months I had to put new ones on.

 

Nice I work at terrapin

 

im always scared to tear it up....even with youtube

 

You can do it!

 

Eric,

Depending on when the baby is born (due the 22nd) I'll possibly be down for a beer. I'll let you know. Do you still have the same # or did you change numbers to a CO #?

 

Congrats man! yeah, I still have the same 678 number. Give me a call if you can.

Reason 38575 to do your own maintenance

 

I change my own oil and air filter. I just need to be taught how to do the other stuff... As states before I'm always willing to learn guys. Shoot me a pm for some help. I'll turn the wrenches if you teach

 

Hasn't happened at mine with me there, when I have gone there, I've always watched them do the work. Just to make sure
