Solid & Trustworthy Toyota Mechanics/Shops In Summit County, CO?

Hey all,

Bought a 2021 4x4 SR in NY with 30k miles and drove it back to my place in Summit County, CO.

This is the first high end/expensive vehicle I have owned and I want to take really good care of it. I do not know a whole lot about mechanics etc. so I might be overthinking who I take it to.

Does anyone know of the best shops around me to get maintenance and work done to my truck? I haven’t found many threads online about good shops to go to, and would be okay driving to Denver to have quality work done.

I eventually want to put a slight lift + upgraded suspension on it when I have the funds, so knowing some reputable Toyota shops near me would be great. Thank you.

have you done a carfax ? or did it come with paperwork showing the previous maintenance? i would start with front and rear differential fluid change
i follow this maintenance map https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/update-3rd-gen-maintenance-maps-get-300k-miles.789809/

 

Yeah, bought CarFax prior to purchasing. Was serviced 4 times before I bought it.

Service #1 @ 3.8k miles :

• Maintenance inspection completed
• Tires rotated
• Vehicle washed/detailed
• Brakes checked

Service #2 @ 8.8k

• Maintenance inspection completed
• 10,000 mile service performed
• Oil and filter changed
• Vehicle washed/detailed
• Wheels checked
• Brakes checked

Service #3 @ 14.5k

• Maintenance inspection completed
• Tires rotated
• Engine serviced
• Brakes checked

Service #4 @ 20.6k

• Maintenance inspection completed
• Oil and filter changed
• Vehicle washed/detailed
• Brakes checked

I bought it at 29k and I have taken it to just over 31k as of now. Pretty sure the dealer services and did some oil change etc before listing for sale as well but it doesn't look like that was reported.

 

Even the "more mature" among us fit under the trucks without ramps ... easier with though. I do oil changes now, and will do the differential and transfer case changes.I install my skid plates. With jackstands I can rotate my own tires.

Mounting tires can be hazardous, checking remaining break pad will be left to professionals for now. But others can teach putting an A/C drain bypass (to avoid dripping onto the frame), how to install UCA/LCA (upper control arm, lower control arm ... from suspension), installing new leaf springs on the rear ... etc. You will probably be surprised what you are capable of.

 

woah the second oil change was almost done a 12k miles , looks like the previous owner was driving until it got repo or just not good at doing maintenance. I would do another oil change for peace of mine , change engine filter , like i said before do front and rear differential fluid

 

ewfff,, good thing original owner didn't own it long! OP it will be fine, you caught/bought it in time.
