Got my 4runner back from shaffers. So far so good. Nothing to complain about (price, install, timeline, etc). I'm going to go to them moving forward!

Called Hagin's today, unfortunately they won't work on anything more than 20 years old so they wouldn't make an appointment for my '99. They referred me to MTZ Auto, also in Martinez. We'll see how they are.

*sorry to comment on such an old post, but figured it was relevant for people searching for a good shop.

We used to go there too. Then they changed mgmt. Didn’t like how they operated after that. The guy I always used to deal with has opened his own place on Concord Ave-Frank’s Import.

Thanks, I appreciate the heads up. I lived out there a while ago and they were my go-to shop. I'll let people know about Frank's Import.

Not quite SJ, but Freemont is close, Love Shop Auto opened like 6 months ago. The owner is a great guy. They are taking a bit of a different approach, by making the shop a nice place to hang out while your work is getting done (or just whenever). Without sacrificing quality. They have a passion for Toyotas and Japanese sports cars (though the owner just bought a Bronco...).

I have not had any work done by them, but other friends have and have been very happy. I wouldn't hesitate to have them mount/balance tires, alignments, suspension install, UCA/LCA installs, BMC/CMC (I specifically talked to them about this, they are doing multiple a day at this point).

Not that I would rule them out, but I would want to talk to them more and see their work first hand before jumping into more custom fabrication work.
