    Just wanted to pop in and say that Dave's great to work with! He installed some new UCAs and shocks for me over the weekend, talked me through everything he was doing and even let me 'help' a bit.

    As always, was a pleasure working on the taco with ya. We did a headstrong off road 3 leaf AAL today and it came out great! Finally got rid of the air bag system in the rear. Rides much more smooth in the rear now. Highly recommended Dave for anything you’d need!

    Just want to say how pleased with the work Dave did for me. Had new front wheel bearing/hub assembly's put in. There was an issue with one of them. Had nothing to do with his work but he came out to my place 30 min away and made it right for no charge. It required one side to be redone with a new CV axel and new hub assy. You just do see that level of customer service anymore. Dave does first class work. Everything is torqued to spec and he double checks everything. He also redid my 6112's with new upper isolaters and lower bushings which I provided. Man my truck hasn't rode this nice in years. Nor more groaning noise from the bearings or clicking noise from the shocks. Just a little noise from the tires which I like. THANK YOU DAVE. :thumbsup:

    Just wrapped up a major overhaul on a 1st gen Tacoma that I recently acquired - Front and Rear Suspension (Shocks and Leafs)/LCAs/UCAs/CV Axles/Ball Joints/Rack/Tie Rods/Bushings. As it was quite the job, the work was split up over 3 consecutive Sundays.

    Dave was incredible throughout the whole process and after working with him, would be the only person I'd trust with my vehicle. I don't have much experience working on cars/trucks and wanted to hang out/learn/"help" during the process as I plan to keep this truck forever, and Dave went above and beyond, coaching me through the vehicle, walking me through all of the issues that we came across, and explaining why we needed to do certain things in a specific manner. He's extremely detail oriented, won't cut any corners, and really goes the extra step to make sure that everything is done the correct way. He'll help walk you through getting the correct parts, and even drove us around town searching for various items that we needed while running into the obvious issues that come up when working on an old vehicle.

    Pricing was super transparent and generous, and he's also such a great dude. Will definitely be a return customer and working with Dave has been one of the best car experiences I've had.

    Dave - thanks again for the hard work and patience through the process! really appreciate everything!

    Earlier this week I took my 1st gen to Dave for some work. We swapped the front coilovers, rear shocks and leaf springs, inner and outer tie rods, steering rack bushings, and sway bar bushings and end links.

    Great guy and great work! The guy that aligned my truck even complimented his work haha. Definitely recommended.
