Hi guys, I'm looking to pick up a 1st gen taco. Does anyone have a suggested mechanic they trust to do a go through on these? Frame looked pretty good to me but would probably be better if someone who knows these things takes a look and can check everything out. the truck is in san leandro so around that area

While I don’t particularly like this shop for doing actual work they are the go to for an inspection IMO.
Arts automotive in Berkeley is so nit picky that they will find everything.
