Advice needed for a shop to do a head gasket replacement.

[unimogguy]

Blew the head gasket on a Toyota Camry. It might need to be resurfaced as well.

Any suggestions on a local shop? I’m new to the areas and would greatly appreciate a reliable/honest shop to take it to.

Thank you in advance,

Chris

Gunn did a 2F head for me, their the shop in Denver that knows Land Cruisers. As far as a Camry goes … I have no idea. They’re worth a call though. Good folks.

Are they a machine shop only as in I have to take off the head or a full repair shop?

Machine shop. Really good with Toyotas.

Are you looking for a garage to do the work then? What part of town are you in?

Sorry I assumed you just meant a machine shop, which is what Gunn is. I can’t afford to have anybody work on my stuff so no real experience with repair shops. I’ll let others step in on that front.

Completely understand and normally…if I hadn’t just moved here without my tools and Cruisers I would do this myself. I’m extremely tight.

Called Gunn about getting the head gasket replaced they referred me to Arden Automotive (1 month out from being able to start on it) who then referred me to Colorado Performance Specialist.

Does anyone have any experience with Colorado Performance Specialist aka CPS?

Thank you in advance!

Might check in with Japanese Auto Service or ATLR for Toyota specific shops in that area.

Yup. Know the owner/operator...he's a good dude. Haven't had work done by him, but based on what I know about him, I'd take my commuter there for work.
