North West BS Thread

Good morning all! Half day today then off to go camping for the weekend. Taking my S&W MP 9mm out for some plinking of aluminum cans. Had it for 4 months and havent had time to put a round through it yet.

 

Full size or compact? I have had a few M&Ps. The triggers aren't great but otherwise awesome guns.

 

Full size. Felt better in my hand then the smaller one. Have same one in .45 as well. I like the .45, shoots nice. Hoping 9mm will feel the same shooting it.

 

I love me some 9mm, have quite a few in the collection. I'm a total CZ fanboy, there's nothing better than a full steel frame 9mm!

 

@Jon@Mule in here for the right area

 

Indeed. My Sig collection is growing too quickly.

 

Too quickly? No such thing.

 

I'm here!

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks!!

 

I removed all the dividers in my safe in cram all the guns in...
(I need a new safe...)

 

We should get a "safe picture" comparison going on, but that would mean I need to go organize mine haha

 

Same here, but only because I dont have one, not because my collection is spilling over. But if you want to donate a few so it saves you money from having to get a new safe...I'll gladly help you out

 

Which dealership is the best in terms of service in SE Washington/Portland metro? This is my first Toyota in a long time, and I don't know

Thanks

 

For anyone in the greater Seattle area, Jon runs Mule Expeditions in Issaquah. His shop is well used by many of the guys on TW and other forums. If you need with done or looking for parts, message him and he'll get you guys home up. @Migraine

 

Was wondering this as well.

 

Good to know! Thanks.

 

I always take my tundra and wife’s sienna to Wilsonville Toyota just south of Portland. They are great as far as my vehicles are concerned .

 

Still wondering this.
I used to use Beaverton Toyota. Then moved to Sherwood. I have friends in management for some Bob Lanphere stores. I used to use Wilsonville after Beaverton. Wilsonville was bought by BL but then sold to a company out of Alaska... as I understand it anyway. With all that said I have very high standards that none of these locations can meet...consistently. I had good service at Beaverton until they left one of my Fuel wheel caps on loose then sent it out. It feel off and they did eventually replace it. But not until after arguing with me about it. On to Wilsonville. First three services I had three different service advisors. I didn’t like this. I like to use the same person and develop a working relationship with them. Wilsonville was going through employees left and right. On the 4th trip I got a guy and he had my 4Runner washed and vacuumed after my oil change. Noticed the sand from a previous dune trip. Holy Shit!!! Someone gets customer service!!! Well traded that 4Runner for my Tundra and bought a 2nd vehicle from our sales guy there. Might be buying Toyota number 3 maybe 4 in the next few months. As far as service I would have to talk to the service manager before my truck goes back there as I don’t really trust them.

The problem is that people in the auto industry bounce around like crazy. It’s hard to find a good solid team..at least in my opinion. Sorry for getting so long winded. We used to have a member here who I believe ended up buying Gresham Toyota... would have been a great resource. Haven’t seen him around on here in a while.

 

How is their service? Do you ever go back for rework or had bad jobs done? Price of work - is it competitive to others?

 

A little back story.. my brother is in the car business. He was the gm that opened the Wilsonville store. He has moved back to Colorado so he is no longer there but the guy that took his place is his friend and is great.
As far as service goes I have never had issues with poor work. I have never felt like they were making work up that I have dealt with at other dealerships. Example: you need a new cabin filter every time. . If I have an issue they fix it. All my recall work is done there too.
A few months ago I had a major issue. It turned out to be a speedometer sensor that was out on to compensate for the lift. They did the install and when it went bad they replaced it no questions asked. As far as price it is competing. My 2014 tundra had service done there and I never felt was overpaying. My 2018 is under a maintenance plan so I don’t pay for service.

 

Well UPS just delivered my Deaver leaf springs, except they sent me J59 Tacoma springs Shout out to Oregon local @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc for jumping on it quickly and working with Deaver to rectify the issue, nothing but great customer service from them so far!

 

Thank you for your patience here! Deaver should have the correct set ready and shipping out to you immediately.

 

Sure thing and no worries, not your fault! Luckily I'm not planning on installing for a month or so. Not thrilled of the idea of lugging these to a UPS store, but again that's not your fault lol.

 

Definitely! Those are the little springs too. Wait til you get the K37's!

 

If I don't end up winning the IM4x4 giveaway... I will be coming to you guys for a lift later on. Always had amazing customer service through you, and hope it never changes. Likely would end up driving up to purchase though so we don't deal with the whole CA sales tax thing they are trying to do these days.

Drop an Apex in! Highly recommended

 

I agree! I had an apex trigger in my old m&p and it was great.

 

Just finished installing the RB20’s. I decided to put them on backwards with the wider part in the back. However I think I need to adjust them some more, they are really far forward. But that’s because I didn’t want to be able to see the bracket in the front, and this was the only way to keep that from happening.

Also a teaser of the Ray 10’s that will be going on in the future as well.
