Can anyone please recommend a good Tacoma shop or mechanic in (central) Indiana?

Hi. New member, longtime lurker. I have a 2008 TRD Sport that I bought from my dad some years ago when he upgraded to a GenIII. My truck is in need of some general maintenance and repair that is out of my skill zone. Getting some strange noises and clunks and the steering feels a little off, but I'm unable to diagnose or repair. Recently changed the front and rear brakes and replaced the driver's rear axle seals while I was in there doing the brakes. Truck still makes odd noises and doesn't drive ideal, so it's time to try and find someone who can diagnose and repair. Truck is a long bed with a 2.5" suspension lift, about 180k on the odo. Really hoping someone here can direct me towards a mechanic or shop that is very familiar with Tacomas. Would most certainly prefer an independent shop/mechanic vs taking to a dealer. Need the whole truck gone over and repaired as needed. Thanks!

 

Welcome to Tacoma World. You might try posting in the Indiana state thread found here:

Can you elaborate when the clunks occur or what issues with the steering? More info on front and rear lift.

 

I have a friend in Flat Rock IL that I would recommend as well as the local Toyota dealer at Mattoon, I know most people don't like Toyota dealers, but our local one is very good. What city are you close to?

 

You don't need a toyota mechanic, you just need a good mechanic

Toyotas aren't complicated
