    Did you get a chance to talk with them. There are plenty of guys that are happy still? Right? Just a couple of bad oversights.
    @SoCalTacoTruck Would like to here what they told you.

    I would still get the work done because it is a good deal. However I would ask them to just snug the bolts and I’d bring my own torque wrench with me. Also would check the oil when it’s cooled down to verify it’s filled correctly.

    I'm still going to have them do it. I'm just curious what the response is when @SoCalTacoTruck brings this to their attention. It seems they're correcting the mistakes without any fuss. They know what they're doing with gear set up & installs.
    I would also ask that they don't beat the crap out of the axles. I've had mine out and I know they're a pain in the ass but they'll come out with a little help. Key word is little. Differently check the oil level later.

    Maybe have them slow down a little and all will be good.

    My favorite part is they said Toyota’s are their bread and butter but when I pulled up I see 3 highly modded Jeeps with Jeeps on all their ads. No CVs on those. :p

    As mentioned before;

    Do they read this forum?

    Over tighten key bolts. And under fill differentials. Hmmmm - maybe OP who brought them a zillion bucks could subtly mention this in a nice/PC way after saying we appreciate the work and price.

    They requested us to use Yelp, maybe we/OP can request them to use a torque wrench and slow down.

    Thoughts?
