Relocating to Sandy Springs, GA

So me and the Mrs are packing up from NY to move to Sandy Springs, GA. Any tips on where to go, things to do? Also looking for a good dealership for service, Tire place and car audio place...

Thanks... looking forward to seeing all the FJ's... Wife was down there last week finalizing the apt and said she saw so many...

Re: Relocating to Sandy Springs, GA

Welcome to the 'hood! My husband used to live in Sandy Springs when we were dating. Where did you find a place to stay?

As for recommendations, I use Atlanta Toyota in Duluth for my service and have had very good luck with them. Others in the area will have to pipe up with their recommendations. For tires, I go to 4wd parts in Norcross because they are close and I know them. As for audio, I can't help you. I am so not the audiophile.

Hopefully you can join us for one of our get togethers soon! And welcome again!

Re: Relocating to Sandy Springs, GA

Howdy there! K9's right about service and tires. If you are in SS, then there is an audio place near Roswell Rd and I-285 (Sound Sensations, IIRC) that does reputable work.

Welcome to ATLANTA. You can't go anywhere without seeing 4-5 FJ's on the way. Mostly soccer mom types, but keep an eye out for us ATL-FJCs with the big tires, armor and roof rack lights/horns.

Re: Relocating to Sandy Springs, GA

Hope to see you around! Another 4x4 shop that I've worked with on my tires was Southern Offroad Specialists in Cumming. Not too far from Sandy Springs. They beat out everyone else on the price of my KM2s and had them in the next day. Family run place, and one of the sons that works there had an FJ for a little while as a promo build - so they definitely know the vehicle!

Another nod for Atlanta Toyota. I got mine there and they've been great with service. I did get a bit of a lecture from the service guy last time I was in on the problems "oversized" tires could create. But that's why I kept my stockers in the garage

Re: Relocating to Sandy Springs, GA

Welcome to the area. There is Sandy Springs Toyota right there in town but I dont know anything about them. I use Cobb County Toyota in Kennesaw and love them. Definitely lots of FJ's around!
