    Hey, all. I've got a bone-stock 2011 Tacoma PreRunner with about 155k miles on it. I've been doing all of the service myself- all of the scheduled preventative stuff, plus replacement of the front wheel bearings and one rear bearing/shaft assembly.

    I've got less time to work on the truck these days and the powertrain is still in great mechanical shape overall but there are starting to be some real squeaks and grinds going on and it clearly needs a suspension refresh (still on all stock components...) I'm looking for a reputable Toyota shop within an hour drive of Long Beach to give it a good once-over and get it ready for it's next 100k miles. Any recommendations?
