Whoops! Forgot to update my location! I moved about 6 months ago and haven’t been on in a while. The shop is Commercial Tire in La Grande Oregon. I already talked to the manager, who is apparently pretty familiar with my family seeing as we have been going there for a while. He said he was...

This is exactly what happened to my wife’s car! The shop we took it to first that gave us the $8000 quote was Commercial Tire, my family and I have been talking our vehicles there for 10+ years and hadn’t had a single issue with them until now. I found out much later from my wife (which would...

So I had my wife take it to a different shop for a second opinion, they had it fixed the next day for $550 just had to replace the rear rotors, calipers and pads... That is a load of my mind, and the last time we go to the shop that gave us an $8000 quote for breaks...

Thank you all for the replies and info! Hopefully we will get it into a shop tomorrow for a second option and I will report back. Yeah I was kinda shocked at the price they quoted and kinda wondered if they were trying to pull a fast one because she is a woman. Worse comes to worse I will just...

Hello, I am looking to get a used 2005-2007 4runner, and realized that Toyota discontinued the V8 option in the 5th gen 4runners. So my question is why? Because I'm looking in the 05-07 years there is the V8 option, but if thy discontinued it in the 5th gen is there a reason not to get the V8...

Hello everyone, Im new to this Forum, so not sure if I'm posting this in the right place. I just moved up to Fairbanks Ak in the summer, so my question pertains to people that have owned or own 4runners in cold climates (-20 to -60 °F). So heres to my question, I currently have a 2000 Lexus...
