    Hey y'all, I am moving to the raleigh area of north carolina and was wondering if anyone has a solid go-to mechanic shop in that area for their tacoma? Someone dependable who doesn't charge through the roof? Trust the word of people on here much more than google reviews.

    how modified is your vehicle? If it’s close to stock, I recommend Techniquest in Cary.

    Sorry for falling off the face of the earth. Yes it's pretty stock, just some upgrades on the front bumper and fox shocks. I'll give them a call.

    Any follow up on this? I don't really have a complaint with Hendrick Toyota of Apex per se, I would like to find a good independent mechanic that services Tacomas.
    If you tried Techniquest, how did it go?

    Also in the Raleigh/Durham area and looking for mechanic recommendatsion. My 2006 PreRunner just passed 300k and is in need of a new transmission. Trying to make a short list so I can compare prices to what I've gotten from Mark Jacobson Toyota.

    Did you have any success locating a mechanic in the area that can service Toyotas? I am still looking for an alternative to Hendrick Apex.

    Unfortunately no. I did end up getting a new transmission from Jake's Transmission in Durham though.

    A little more expensive than Mark Jacobson ( $5780) but they did a great job and did it on time.
