Anyone here know of a good, "local" mechanic type shop for 4Runners? I picked up a 91 a few moths ago and, as I am slowly working to get it "nice" I have to admit there are a few things that need to be done that are beyond the ability of my driveway "shop". 
After cruising the threads I have two things I NEED to address ASAP. One: The head gasket in the passenger rear part of the motor is leaking. Not bad...yet. And I would like to just head that off before it gets awful. Apparently this truck has had the recall work done on it (I have a bud who works for a Toyota dealership and he checked for me) but it would seem to be leaking again. The second thing is getting the exhaust pipe moved away from the head as from what I have been reading, that is what is wrecking the HG is the first place. So....after that rambling intro anyone know of a competent shop that is not going to rape me to get this done or should I just suck it up, dive in and do it in my driveway?
