    He’s not active on here. He made the account in September 2017 and last seen was June 2019 with only 1 messages. Best to call him. I’ve been there a few time and there shop is super busy but Steve will take care of you. I’m happy with the service I receive from there.

    Try asking Larry at Dirty Parts in Culver City who they send their customers’ rigs to for wheel alignment. (310) 390-9086 Based on what they’ve told me and what I’ve seen on the Owl camera, I believe it’s a local shop somewhere along Sepulveda Blvd.

    Hey! New member and new to Tacomas. I just bought a used 2018 TRD OR 4x4 6M out of state and want to take it to a mechanic just to make sure everything is in order. The truck drives great but I just want to make sure since I'm very new and don't know much really. Any mechanics in the LA area that you trust and won't rip me off? Any help is appreciated! Cheers!!

    I second RPM Garage. They work on 4x4 Toyotas all day long and do great alignments, I live just a few blocks from them. They have a steady flow of Tacomas, T4Rs and Landcruisers going in/out all day long.

    Firestone and places like that just plug factory numbers into their machine and send you on your way, a lifted truck with aftermarket suspension needs more attention than that. I got the Firestone lifetime package a few years ago and stopped using it after 4 or 5 times, they never got it right.

    Also a good option is to get an oil analysis, just incase.

    I would say RPM Garage would be worth the drive. Call them and get an appointment and they’ll take care of you.


    They’re in Monrovia.

    I’m on IG (messenger2626). I’m also down to go out this weekend. Over in the monthly off-road run thread they’re discussing Big Bear.
