    I took my truck to a mechanic twice now for my rear axle leak. Both times he has done it wrong, I don’t want to go for a third time. I just want to know if any of y’all know a reliable mechanic that is good with our years of Tacoma’s. Thanks

    Try Javiers Gulf Coast Crawl shop on Clay or Duggys Garage off of 45N. Either one will treat you right.

    Two certified master mechanics running their own shop for ages. You'll need an appointment but they are the real deal for general repair work.

    Brave Motorsports

    These guys if you want serious off-road mods done. They build competition machinery. Top notch in town.

    Only two indy shops I will deal with. Accept no substitutes.
