Anyone know of a specialty Toyota/Lexus mechanic in the area that is not the dealership?

I have a 200 series Lexus with air suspension with a booger I cannot figure out.

Friend of mind (Lexus owner) recommends Blanchard Car Care in Galvez, right off Hwy 42.

Mitch Blanchard was a Lexus master mechanic who started his own business. He knows his stuff, does excellent work and his prices are fair.

I was coming here to recommend Mitch as well. I was good friends with one of his kids growing up and he did everything for our cars. Mitch is great.

This is the answer. Lexus master mechanic. He's worked on every Lexus and Toyota I've ever owned, and I haven't had to visit him very often.

Blanchard’s quality car care in Galvez is what you want. Mitch Blanchard is great mechanic that does good, honest work. He specializes in Toyota and Lexus.

Hands down the best Toyota/ Lexus mechanic in the area. Mitch is a good man and stands behind his work.

What’s it doing? The system is fairly simple. If it’s not rusted out the problems are limited, globes or fluid.

I've been in that thread. I need someone that has Toyota techstream. It is not throwing codes, but is sagging when parked to the rear left and I can't get a good alignment. I am eating through front tires with wear to the inside.

I have changed the fluid recently but no change.

Totally agree. They worked hard to find the problem and they were unable. I would recommend them to anyone to sniff out any problems on a more common issue but this one needs a specialist.

Unless someone steals your cats while vehicle is in their possession and they say tough luck.

Sounds like a positioning sensor. Techstream is easy to get but this sounds like an in-and-out type of job and not worth your time to DIY.
