    any Vermonters on here want to share what they’ve done and where they’ve done it? Dealer? Home? Somewhere else. I’ve got a 16 trd sport but am a newbie with any sort of mods. Would love to know where you get work done!

    Check us out there are a few of us! Welcome. I haven't really done much besides normal maintenance, fluid film to keep rust off etc. The guys can help you spend your money I'm sure :)

    What part of Vermont are you from? I was born and raised in Randolph, VT but moved away 21 years ago. Still have family there though so I visit occasionally. Love the unmaintained seasonal roads there!

    Don't let Heritage hang off your emergency brake casings near the backplate during the free inspection. Mine mysteriously both broke & then they wanted me to replace them. I said no because the e- brake worked & my truck is auto. Next they flagged my truck during the "free lifetime state inspection for if you buy your truck here" due to the casings. I asked to see these cracks & tech yanks on cable mechanism. No wonder they're cracked! I fought it based on state inspection only calls for flagging if manual not auto. Plus E brake WORKED.
    This year I went to Alderman's for I no longer live in BTV. No problem with casings. When I asked, tech said they only do visual for casings crack so easily!

    Nate’s auto is over priced and corners cut you will pay for the better part and get the cheapest part they can find believe me when I tell you do not go there for anything I have seen it in person and watched it happen to many others if ur looking for a shop that will install it the right way and install what you asked for go to t&j auto

    Nate was great when he first started and wrenched himself over off James Brown Drive. I have a couple of stories from my own experience that really pissed me off. Friends as well.
    Personally Duncan's Auto on St. Paul St., Bob's Auto Rt 2/289, Dave Whitcomb Essex, Bailey's Spring 5 corners cover anything I need in car care for both my Toyota truck & Cabrio. Duncan's will let you bring your own parts if you find them cheaper. He is excellent.
