SF Bay Area Shop Recommendation?

[4x3Lander]

I am replacing / refreshing all of my front end suspension. I bought a used set of front spindles / hubs since mine are pretty rusty. I need to get the bearings replaced in the set I bought. I have a trusted shop I take my 4Runner to when I don’t want to do a particular job (like replacing fuel lines).

I would trust the shop with this job, however, I would prefer a more specialized shop that does something like this on a regular basis.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Yodaman up in Santa Rosa in the North Bay is a great shop specializing in 4x4 Toyotas. I've had them help with replacing most of my suspension and installing a Toytec Aluma Series lift. Problem is they're usually booked up to 4-6 weeks out.

Frank’s Import in Concord if you’re in the east bay. Totally cool guy and does the right thing.

Thanks guys. I will definitely consider those. I am in the Gilroy area, but for this type of job, I would be willing to make that kind of drive.

Totally agree with the above and can attest about the folks at Yodaman being top notch.

Yota1 Performance in Riverbank (Near Modesto) is a good shop but I think they are pretty busy these days. They specialize in engine rebuilds but they do it all. But because they do good work, lots of people want their services. I would call and find out how many weeks out they are with jobs.

Yota1 Performance Engine & Machine - Your Toyota needs all in one place!

Thanks again everyone. I appreciate the referrals.
[MENTION=120071]mtbtim[/MENTION] - Tim, I watched your recent videos on these guys and have no doubt at their quality and ability. They are 100% engrained into my mind to have them do work for sure.
[MENTION=568649]biratley[/MENTION] - this is closer to me and not far from my trusted mechanic. I will keep them in mind.

I potentially found a shop in Morgan Hill through an Overland Bound member who added the shop to the map for trusted mechanics. I am going to try them out with some test work to see how they do.

These guys in Alameda keep popping up on my IG. Never worked with them but they seem to be legit:

Thanks [MENTION=373697]Endlessblockades[/MENTION]. I would have never guessed a shop like that would exist in Alameda
