    Not exactly near corpus, but I’ve heard good things about Duggys garage in Houston and Triple C Chop Shop in Lago Vista. Both are Toyota shops that do primo work.

    I lived in Corpus for 3 years with 2 old Toyotas and an old Lexus. Ended up getting FSMs, parts online or occasionally through the local dealership who was quite competitive and doing whatever work I needed in the garage. Actually found a ps pump for my 96 Lexus at one of the junk yards. Never found a shop that specialized in Toyota but I did read a lot of good reviews on a shop that does mods (best word that comes to mind right now) that I thought I would try out if I ever got stumped. Never did though. Seems specialized shops charge as much if not more than dealerships so there's no cost savings. You might find someone that takes a little more enjoyment/ pride in their work or they likely wouldn't have opened the shop in the first place.

    Duggys quoted me 6000 to do gears, shocks, and a cab-mount relocate. Looks like good work but it's quite the price
