Recommendations for Shops around Tacoma?

I'm looking to get done the following:
Transmission, Transfer case, and rear diff flush
Install new brake pads, rotors, SS lines and new fluid

I'd do it myself, but I dont have the time. The only shops I know of in the Tacoma area are Boss Innovations and Drift office. Anyone have any recommendations? I would take it to ER, but I don't feel like driving 6 hours to get some service done.

Go to English! It's worth the drive and it's really more like 5 hours round trip I think...

I love ER. They did an awesome job on installing my clutch and reflashing my ecu a while back, but that drive. I would want to get a 1 day turnover time on the work, i.e. drop it off in the morning and drive it home before the end of the day.

for that work it is easily a 1-day turnaround @ ER, if you schedule with them in advance. The trip down and back isn't bad if you plan around the traffic. Seriously grab some friends during the weekend and this work is done.

Since you have a 9... most people aren't going to be prepared or know how to properly bleed your ACD. I would recommend English as well.

you should be planning, not posting!

I'm guessing your "plans" are pretty stress free, but I could be wrong.

Hey I posted once in like 4 months. And it was for good purpose too! I'm cleaning right now... and writing thank you cards... got the marriage license yesterday... marriage counseling with the pastor... figuring out some smaller details... etc.

Ended up not moving, that saved me a huge stress. Work has been extra long though and I've been working 55 hours a week if not more and it's been less than thrilling, but we're starting to slow down a bit. I suspect after the honeymoon, I'll just be another married man
