AZ recommendations

Figured start a thread for people looking for any recommendations.

 

I need a recommendation for a place to get some wheels repaired and painted. Have some slight curb rash on one of my wheels on the z I need to get repaired.

 

Anyone? Will send gratuitous dick pics for your help.

 

Anyone have Zuk's contact info? I think he came highly recommended to install lockers?

Phone and email are on his site

 

Looking for:
-Firestone that you have had success with alignment.
-Exhaust shop for reroute.
-Wheel repair

 

I've had great experience with the firestone on alma school and guadalupe. I had Scottsdale muffler did work on my exhaust and they also did a great job. Very fair pricing and quick turnaround. Definitely worth checking out!

 

Firestone @ Chandler & 56th ST.
Ask for Danny to perform the alignment.

for my reroute. It was quick and price was not bad. Cannot remember how much though.

 

Thanks. Made the appointment.

 

This is one of my first posts on here. I've got an 05 with a leveling kit and add a leaf (that got cut to put the new leaf springs in by big two Toyota). The leveling kit was done by the PO, I think by his dealer precision Toyota in Tucson. Anyways after buying it I found out that's not an ideal lift and I have been wanting a set of good suspension advd the time has finally come. I had some maintenance work fine and they let me know that the shocks are starting to leak. So I'm looking for a shop/off-road place in the east valley, Tempe-chandler area, that anyone recommends. At the moment I'm thinking of going with Fox and of course replacing the upper control arms as well. Anywhere that might sell the suspension itself and install and align and is good at it all. Recommendations please.

 

You can buy the suspension at Downsouth Motorsports and then offer beer and pizza and people will help you with the install.

Shops there is Sierra Expeditions.

 

SDHQ sells the parts and will install them as well. Not sure on how their prices are. I've only bought parts from them and installed myself.
I'm sure you'd be able to find people on here that would be willing to help you install them, myself included. Then buy a lifetime alignment at Firestone like everyone else.

A few other local Off-road shops are Desert Rat and 4 Wheel Parts, that also sell and install. If that's the route you want to go.

 

Second SDHQ. I had them install my front and rear suspension. Prices are competitive, you probably could find better then install yourself but I have always had great customer service and they have exactly what I want in stock.

 

Get this and take care of it asap.

Have you done this? How hard was the install.

 

Not yet, mine just broke 3 weeks ago and i've only had time to move the motor into place and tac weld the mount. i'll knock it out this weekend.

 

Please let me know how it goes, I've been looking to do this for a long time.

 

I'll post up. I think the hardest part is removing the axles...

 

Best North Phoenix alignment shop?
