Irvine CA Independent Mechanic suggestion

Can anyone make a recommendation for an independent mechanic for my 2014 crewmax? I'm leaking coolant somewhere and I don't feel like digging in. I'd also like to have someone other than the dealership to work on future maintenance.

Thanks!

 

My guess is they're going to want to know where you are.

 

Sorry if i wasn’t clear on my location. I’m in Irvine, California zip 92630

 

Where are you leaking front near the grill back near the fire wall passenger or driver side? I know you don't want to dig into it but based on where the puddle under the truck is.

 

so i initially noticed it on the passenger side coming out from the skid plate on to my driveway (parked on an incline). After a couple of days it looks like its progressed. Only thing i can think of is there is a bad hose, pin hole, or a loose clamp.

 

Possibly upper radiator hose on the engine side or water pump. It seems to be coming from the top side of the engine.

 

Ahh yes a water pump leak would make so much more sense and further confirms that i want nothing to do with replacing it.

 

In the first photo you posted it seems like it is running down to the left of the pully if you look closely.

 

do you want the mechanic to come to your place or can you go to their shop ?
how far are you willing to travel ? I have a great mechanic in Cypress (next to Cerritos)

 

i can definitely go to them.

 

edited my post above. how far are you willing to drive ?
I always recommend The Toy shop for toyota needs.

I'm fairly well versed with the toyotas, especially 4x4. If you want reply to my DM and we can talk futher.
