Hi,

I have a 1995 ES300 in bad need of a new radiator. It's pretty ugly, and the places I've gone are...not as warming as I would have liked. I don't know why, but I just didn't feel comfortable with those places.

I was just wondering if anyone here could recommend a mechanic or somewhere to get a radiator. I'm located in Irvine, but commuting isn't my biggest concern.

Thanks,
Jason

 

ill start it off. do a search for dynamic in midway city

 

if it's just a radiator find one on ebay or any recommended mechanic in your area.

If you are willing to go further I have 1 in Diamond bar, and 1 in Long Beach.

DB - is Diamond Bar Auto Care
LB - is Pro Auto repair

Also a radiator shop called Mac's Radiator in Bellflower

 

x2 for dynamic.

 

Vinam Auto repair right next to dynamics in midway city

Rates are lower and the owner is a Toyota/Lexus master tech. He owns a modded GS400 so he's very flexible with OEM and aftermarket installs (including Daizen bushings).

 

GSteg referred me to Vinam when I needed my rear main seal replaced. The owner is awesome he even pulled an all nighter and worked until 3AM by himself to get my car done, so I would have a car to go to work the next morning. Highly recommended

 

x7 for Dynamic.

 

hmmm i'm gonna try that place next time. Dynamic is good, but some of their services' price is a little bit expensive after comparing to some other good shop.

 

If you ever need Daizen lower control arm bushings install on your GS, then he is THE MAN to go to with. I dont know any other place around the area that will do the same job for the same price. Most will quote you $500-600 on the control arm install. This guy does it the right way for a STEAL. He's very experienced with installing bushings for the 2nd gen GS.

 

when do you think I need that lower control arm install ? mileage is around ~55K right now.

Wait....you are not THE MAN to go on "Daizen lower control arm bushings install" ??

 

I dont have a press, nor do I have air hammer.

You know you need it when you have crappy vibration on the highway (that's not due to balancing), and/or the car wanders left and right

 

do you think Vinam can take apart my door panel and install new window regulator, lock acutator and the window itself? i got the part sitting in another door. my driver side window shattered due to my dumbass. now the door wont unlock due to maybe glass in the system. regulator was already broken. the door has everything he needs to install it. how much do u think it will run. not trying to spend more than 200 on labor if possible.

 

rumor has it, henry can fix everything else on the 2GS (except that lower arm bushing) LOL, his shop is top secret too

 

You can try to call them. I dont think they work that involves the body, only mechanical stuff.
