I think it would really be helpful to our forum members if we had a list of Recommended service centers for regions in Nor Cal. I suppose you could also post service centers to avoid.

I AM PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN CERTIFIED CENTERS THAT SUPPORT OUR OFF-ROADING COMMUNITY.

Also, please state what you would recommend/avoid them for: e.g.
-basic maintenance
-upgrade/mod (suspension, engine work, ...whatever)
-warranty issues

REGIONS please add to the list of regions, I will update list

Sacramento


Stockton/Modesto


Bay Area


north bay


south bay


east bay


Vacaville/Fairfield


Redding


Monterey Area

I would personally avoid going to Custom Truck Accessories (Custom Truck - Truck Accessories and More) off of sunrise (new location)for any type of work. After installing somebody elses lift perfectly fine they installed mine with the springs indexed the wrong way causing the upper arm to knock on the spring at full articulation.

So I took it back and they tried to say that they all do that, especially the tacomas (and the FJ is different the the tacoma but i didn't even go there). I started discussing that they should not do that and that they need to indexed correctly (bottom of coil facing rear of vehicle). Anyways...4 hours later they tell me its done, I go inspect and the coil is in correctly.

They take it for a test drive and tell me it is good to go....i go and perform my own test drive in there parking lot and the rotor backing plates are all f-ed up and scratching the hell out of the rotors. They had to put it back on the rack a total of 3 times before they fixed it.

After all was said and done i go back to work and when i get out my tire is flat. Being the overprepared person i am i re inflate it and drive home. The next morning.....flat. I look around the tire and can not find anything that would have pierced it. So i re-inflate and listen...oddly the valve stem is leaking air. Apparently someone had decided it would be fun to unscrew my valve stem just enough to cause a slow leak....no i can't be certain who did what....but i sure as hell know who the last people who touched my tires were.

Looking at the work they did the other day i also found they they decided not to a cotter pin on one of the bolts in there. They are permanently on my
$#!t list.
