    I just moved to Pasadena, CA and am looking for a solid Tacoma mechanic, for my heavy work. Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    RPM Garage in Monrovia, just a few minutes east down the 210. They're great, a lot of local guys from here go to them

    See Build in Sig
    @GHOST SHIP Might be able to help you find something or do some of the work himself.

    If not, Custom Truck Shop in San Dimas is solid depending on what you need done.

    Thanks everybody! I am learning how to navigate my way through TW, and re-posted my inquiry recently, as I thought there was no response. See what happens when I do my own thinking.
