    I take my truck to The Toy Shop in Cypress. You'll have to call and make an appointment. They're very professional, clean and honest. From what I understand, they use to work for Toyota and then they opened a shop. They can be more on the expensive side but the use 100% Toyota parts.

    If anyone ends up looking for similar in the ATL intown/ATL OTP North or East areas, LexTechs is a similar type of story/operation. They have two locations at this point.

    this forum is your best chance of finding tundra specific mechanics. Someone here probably has experience with your problem, and can point you in the right direction. Its just up to you to help troubleshoot and turn wrenches.

    Thanks guys. Just trying to get some rear shocks and rear swaybar installed. I used to do everything myself but now my surgically repaired knees are not cooperating.

    If you don't mind me asking, what city do you live in? I can search for Toyota Specialist in your area.

    ToyoPros on Arrow Hwy in Azusa, CA was recommended to me. I've taken my '17 SR5 CrewMax there after the certified warranty ended. My daughter also uses them for her Rav4. It's a busy shop but prices are reasonable. Look them up on Yelp
