    I’ve had my lift, alignment, CMC, and tires installed at RPM Garage. They do really great and thorough work. Only problem is they can be really busy.

    Seems like RPM garage is the place to go around LA. I've found 88garage in El Monte in Youtube? How are they in terms of price and quality?

    Tried 88, expensive for what I wanted done. That's all I know. Doesnt hurt to ask for a quote though.

    I had Sergio (Ghost shop thread) install my lift. Saved a bunch of cash there and he did a quality job. Then I did/ going to do alignment and ECGS bushing through RPM.

    Yup. Thanks. I found Sergio, too. Great guy to talk with and knows Tacomas in and out. Will probably trust him to work on the truck.

    Sean is really cool dude. Treats your truck like his own and is careful/detailed with his work. I've also had 88rotors do some work as well. Pricey but a really good shop. They have a few techs on site so they can get trucks in and out quickly.

    Got my truck back from Sean @ Kaizen a few days ago. Had my rack and pinion rebuilt, lower control arms changed out along with the UCA's. Sean is awesome and meticulous about the work he does. His prices are more than fair and he keeps you updated via text through the repair process.

    They wanted you to go in for a quote another day? That's weird. What did you want done?

    I really liked Ed Little in Culver City when we lived there. They were the only people I trusted to work on my truck when I lived in Socal.

    Not sure the extent of installs they'll do, but it's worth giving them a call.

    They've helped me out in a pinch a time or two when self-installs ran into hiccups, only charged me a handshake quite a few times. Great guys.
