If you can recommend a good FJ Cruiser mechanic or shop that you have personal experience with or knowledge of, post their name, address, phone, and web site in this thread and I will update this first post with it. Short positive comments as to why you recommend them would be helpful also. Please, no gripes or bad press, just recommend those shops that you have confidence in. Dealers, independent shops, and individuals are all OK, as long as they are open for business and have your vote as a good place to do business with. Also please state what work they did on your truck to earn your recommendation.

Hopefully this can be a fairly comprehensive list that you could print out and keep in your glove box for an expedition or a road trip, or maybe you just need someone local to you to work on your FJC. It's only as good as you make it, so please post up if you can.

Great mechanics and they'll tell you if you don't need the work done or even recommend waiting if appropriate. That upfront honesty means a lot to me. Oh, and they'll also fix your import and do it well.

My wife and I own the shop, an FJ Cruiser, an FJ40, a Tacoma, and I have had Toyotas since 1988. We are a full service repair facility located in Laramie, just under the Snowy Range mountains, and a stone's throw from the Medecine Bow National Forest. We are locally known for Toyota and Subaru service but work on most makes.

Have been looking for a Northern CA. shop for general maintenance, but no luck on this thread. Figured having just moved from Southern CA. I would at least add to this thread and hopefully it helps out someone else.

For general maintenance on your FJ:
Lexology
1111 Prospect Ave.
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
(310)379-0543

Owner of this shop drives an FJ. Trustworthy, honest and this team does great work for all things Toyota/Lexus. Having an FJ driver as the owner is a huge plus!!
