Calgary Roll Call

Yes one of my favorite colors as well. And yes Nate's truck is very very nice. One of my favorites.

 

Anyone with a spruce mica 2012+ want to trade their non scooped hood for my scooped hood? pm me.

 

whats everyone doing for may long?

 

May long is usually nuts, may try and get out the week prior.

 

yeah its usually stupid busy everwhere. i was looking to go anywhere but either its too close and will be packed or too expensive to fly there. all prices for that weeknd are double what they normally are

 

Mclean will be full of complete fucking idiots.


Anyway. I will be organizing a cleanup agin this year for after may long weekend. I'll post the details here when I figure it out.

 

I was tooling around Cochrane yesterday and couldn't believe the number of Tacomas. They're literally like every third vehicle there!

 

TACOMA TOWN

 

Hah, yes, I was actually in at the dealership. I think they take the name seriously!

 

Can anyone recommend a good place to shop for wheels/tires in Calgary? I've been around to the usual suspects but I'm wondering if anyone found great deals and customer service anywhere they can recommend? Thanks

 

A couple of friends got some from 4 wheel parts. They have s good extended warranty you can buy. Can be handy if you get into the woods when who knows what can happen. Otherwise my normal tires for my old car i got at Master Tune just south of the air port.

 

Thanks, it's great to hear good stuff about 4 wheel, I've been in there a couple times and they seem like a solid group of guys. They don't have any wheels in stock that will fit a Tacoma, it's mainly jeep stuff. Ordering puts them all 1-2 weeks away. Normally that would be fine, but I have new tires that I need wheels for and I leave for out of town work soon and I have someone that will buy the stock wheels/tires(at a great price) but wants them now.

The tale of two dealerships in the Calgary area:
I call Southpointe Toyota(where I bought my truck) and tell them about needing wheels that are in stock. They tell me to come down and look, I tell them I wouldn't have to if they had them online, but they don't. A note to businesses, if you don't have a good website, you can expect to spend way more time on the phone with customers. It's not the 80's, we aren't going to drive down and look at everything in person when most of your competitors have inventory online. Anyhow. They tell me to expect $300/wheel and up for anything they carry and everything all in would "be about $1,500 give or take". He wanted off the phone.

I call Cochrane Toyota(TACOMA TOWN)
The guy walks around the showroom and the stock room and gives me the names of the 7 different options I would have of in stock rims. He gives me a price down to the last dollar and cent for them installed with GST + offers to give me $100/wheel for my stock rims. He then put me on hold to try and squeeze an appt in to have them installed. ($1,500 give or take) at SPointe turned in to $784 at TT because they spent the time running some numbers.

I just wanted to give some respect to TACOMA TOWN because they earned my business today.

 

Great to hear! Do you know who you were talking with?
I will pass on the good words when I speak to them next.

When are you getting the rims?

 

Darcy. Top points for someone who is eager to earn business. Thanks for passing it along.

Thursday.

 

I only hear good reviews about them. I should stop by just for fun next time in near.

 

x2. Had him pricing up an ARB bumper for me the other day, seemed great to deal with.

 

Darcy, Kyle and Richard are all very helpful!

I never worry about quality of service when I deal with Cochrane Toyota.

 

Word!!!

All three are awesome to deal with and as a result it's hard to even think of going to another shop!

 

Does anyone know a good reputable complete stereo installer in calgary or airdrie

 

Anybody used "At the Border Storage" in SweetGrass? Considering having some bigger packages sent there so I can pick em up and save on the cross border hassle

Just wondering if anyone has had good / bad experiences or has another suggestion
