    I am looking for a good mechanic/shop in the South Bay area to take my 2006 Tacoma to for service. My Taco has several suspension and/or hub bearing related noises (klunk, squeaks, etc) also need a major server as I am about to roll 200k. Up until now, I have taken to the local dealership for service other than minor oil changes, etc.

    Any suggestions? Thanks all!
