    Took my 2005 in for an alignment and they said they wouldn't be able to align it because of the frame being rusted through. They said its unsafe to drive and that I should take it to the dealership and see if they can help me out somehow (even though the frame warranty expired in 2019, 3 years before I bought it). So I'm looking at having a shop install a rust repair kit, because I really can't afford to buy a new Taco or pay for a frame swap, and I have a baby on the way, so I don't have time to do a frame swap myself or I might try it. The thing is I dont really know who to go to in order to have the rust repair done. Any suggestions for who in the Denver area will do it well?

    Maybe mikes frame and alignment in CO springs

    he fixed my frame when the motor mount caved in, still holding up 6 years later. I’m sure he could cut the bad out and patch it

    Update: Tru Automotive got back to me and said they don't do rust repair and that they also don't have any suggestions for anyone local.
