    I'm somewhat new to the Phoenix area and need a timing belt and valve cover gasket change on a 2000 V6. Got a quote from Yota Pro's but would like more quotes.

    A shop or a garage mechanic with some references?

    Avondale Toyota. It's a dealer but they will do a good job and not stick it to you.

    I'm actually curious about yotapro too. My truck started throwing codes. Could be a vac leak or cats or O2 sensor from the codes. Looking for a shop in ot near the tuke to do the repairs.

    Good people at Yota Pros. had them run some tests and check on some things on my truck. Didn't even charge me. The owner is a Toyota nut. worked for Toyota for years and knows his shit. I would definitely go back if I needed work done.

    it was a while ago.. so I don't remember exactly.. but I want to say yeah.. if not that, close to it.

    I'm sure I can dig up the receipt at home. or... give Performance Muffler a call. regardless, they do great work and are great guys.

    I ended up going to Yota Pros. It was a drive for me but well worth it.
    I will go back if needed, excellent shop!

    Desert Toy shop is good too, if you're around Mesa.
