Reno and surrounding areas: Official spotted, BS, and meets thread

I’ll look into this. I’m not sure how old the exhaust is as it came with the truck when I bought about 4 years ago. Thanks for the recommendation.

 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a local upholsterer/installer for a Katzkin leather interior?

 

If anyone is interested, my sister is selling her car. 2010 MB C300, AWD, 178k miles.
Asking $8500. She is in Reno. I have a bunch more photos I can send. It's in pretty good shape for the miles. A few minor cosmetic issues but runs and drives good. Brand new tires, full maintenance history.

 

Anyone?

Hoping to have the snout cut for a smaller pulley in the next month.

 

did you check out zamboni? I need a exhaust re-route I might use them too.

 

McVays in Sparks. They have done a few others members reroutes including mine.

 

thanks I will call them and make an appointment

 

Another vote for them from me. They f'd up something on my truck and made it right.

 

Nevermind finally got it. These are a major pain in the ass to change

 

I'm remember having to do some prying, persuading, several colorful expletives, and more than one beer.

 

that was a pain in the ass dude, royally! Glad its done now.

 

PITA doing those for sure. I recently did new cab mount bushings as I blew the old ones out (shotty standard alpine design ones), a new level of PITA no doubt.

 

I am def going to change them all out, I will need to find the right kit.

 

Hey figured I'd ask here. It seems people tend to prefer the Carson City Toyota for service but wondering if anyone has opinions on the SLT dealership (Jim Bagan)? I'm up in Truckee so am trying to figure out where I should go for my free service for the first couple years.

 

In my opinion, Dolan is fine for that. They are just oil changes so anywhere you go you'll not be having the master tech working on your truck.

 

Agreed. I had dolan do two "free" oil changes on our t4runner and they were both uneventful in a good way.

 

But the real question is … how long did you wait for a oil change?

 

Probably close to 30 minutes but that was 10 years ago so things may be different. If he has an appointment the wait should be shorter than the drive from Truckee and if you're worried about time, change it yourself.

 

Two beers worth.
