Denver Toyota Shop?

I'm fairly new to Denver, CO and I'm in need of a good mechanic. I have no tools or space to do things myself.
Timing Belt/Water Pump
Suspension (OEM Replacement)
Trans Cooler
1/2" Body Lift
Brakes w/SS Lines

Thanks in advance!
Adam

Welcome to Denver!!!!!

There are a couple who only specialize in Toyota.

Disclaimer -- I haven't used these shops personally. If I don't do the work myself, I use a guy I found off CL who is $25/hour out of his garage, but I have them in my notes. (Let me know if you want my guy's number, I'm not sure about TB/WP with him, but I have trusted him on suspension jobs on my T4R and he's been good/fine. He does say he does TB/WP also).

One that caught my eye and that I have in my notes is Toy Automotive in Littleton. Since you mentioned TB, they offer a 5-year warranty on their TB install. 3-year warranty on any other work.

Toyota Lexus Scion Subaru repair in Littleton Denver co.

Some others I have in my notes that are probably worth researching:

Toy Masters Auto Repair | Denver & Englewood Colorado

TOYEXUS AUTO REPAIR in DENVER

Between the 3 shops, I think you'll find a suitable match for price point, qualifications, warranty, etc.

It will be harder to find someone for the BL and Trans cooler. May have to hit up one of the fabrication/independent off-road shops for that since it's not what a normal ASE mechanic would be doing.

I've used Toy Doctor in Littleton on many of my vehicles. Quality work for a decent price, and they're usually pretty fast. Honest opinions of what needs/doesn't need to be done, They have yet to try to sell me blinker fluid or the like.

RSG Offroad in Lakewood does a lot of Toyota work. I work right by them and have seen some serious 4Runner builds come out of there. They are doing my leveling kit next week and have used them for wheels and other random needs. Good guys too. Cheers!

Do you still work with this CL guy? I'd love to get his info if you wouldn't mind sharing.

My experience with independents is limited to only two - Toyexus on Broadway and Affordable Toyota Care - or something like that, in Arvada. Both quoted me prices that were higher than what I was quoted at Stevenson Toyota West. So, don't ignore the dealer and don't assume the independents in the Denver area are price competitive.
