    I am about thiiiis close to drop kicking someone. Anyone have a recommendation on someone/place to service my 4Runner? I would love to get my tires rotated without them being torqued to 200 lbs/ft, or having the oil filled a couple extra quarts. Northern NJ, Bergen County. Thanks. Sorry. I love you. I hate everyone else.

    I am in Northern NJ and do it all myself. I even bought an inexpensive torque wrench off Amazon. The dealers in our area just know how to upsell but they can't put a skid plate back on properly without stripping the bolts.

    Hey neighbor! Glad I am not the only one seeing how not so good the dealers are. You are going to/have done the trans fluid yourself too?

    I havent done it on my 4Runner only because its not due yet. I have a 2021 and just hit 17,000 miles however I've done it to a Toyota Rav 4 and is done exactly the same way. I even have the scan gauge so I have a live temp reading when checking the level.

    Impressive. Bunch of people here diy, yet I can't get several dealers to give the same answer nor can I really trust them to do it right.
