Looking for a good mechanic/shop

[dreti]

Hi,

Just bought my first 3rd gen and loving it so far. I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY and looking for a recommendation for mechanic or shop somewhere near that I can trust to help me maintain and make some improvements. Hoping someone here has some good intel for me.

Thanks in advance.

/D

But I'm sure most people here would agree.

You are your own best mechanic. Welcome to the forum buddy! Read- learn- DO!

I have family in Williamsburg. Sorry I can't help you find a shop but you will love the 4runner!

Wise words shootmymine. I plan to do as much as I can myself, but NY shoebox livin' doesn't make it easy. Read a bunch of stuff already that I plan to do. Tundra brake swap being the first.

Stoked to be in such an active, knowledgeable and friendly forum!
If anyone else has any good contacts, lemme know.

Sorry I didn't respond before, didn't get the tag for some reason. Being honest the garage I went to was only because the owner was a sort of family friend but I never liked the work that they did so I do what I can myself.
I don't have much experience with brakes but it is also on my list of upgrades so maybe we can help each other out. Let me know if you need a hand and if I'm available I'm willing to help

Yelp.
I got reamed for suggesting this to another poster about another matter, (as in, "duh, you moron. Thanks for such an obvious and useless reply. Wish I could have the 1 second of my life back I wasted reading the word 'Yelp'). Just in case you haven't already done so, I suggest Yelping.
