Fuel injector cleaning company recommendations
Setting up to do 90K servicing on 2005 GX470 and want to find an injector cleaning/refurbishing company. I've used Paradise on east coast, but would NOT recommend them, left out filters and didn't follow through on time and shipping promises. The 3 others I've heard of are; 1) Cruzinperformance, 2) RC Engineering and 3) Witch Hunter Performance. If anyone has had any experience, positive or negative, w/ these or any other company, I'd greatly appreciate your input.
I've found cleaning injectors makes big difference in performance and since also doing Timing belt, checking valve clearances and replacing spark plugs now is the time to do it since, hopefully, won't be going back in for another 90K mi. I do use a fuel system cleaner every 5K mi.
I had 1998 Toyota Tacoma's injectors cleaned at 130K and basket filters were heavily clogged and I did change in-line fuel filter regularly, every 40K.
Speaking of fuel filters, I understand GX470 has theirs in the fuel tank sitting above the pump, so are they routinely replaced, or only if and when you have to go into the tank for something else?
Sorry, got kinda wordy. Appreciate your input! I've used Toyota forums for years and they're invaluable. Been Toyota guy since early 80's, so far, so good.

Not for a GX, but my wife uses these guys for her racecar

Says fast turnaround, did a good job and gives a nice report on the results of the cleaning.

I am not familiar with the fuel filter location yet but I have used witch hunter performance to clean a set of rx7 550's and they turned out pretty great, but it was probably 2 years ago.

I've used RC engineering back in 03, good service but kind of pricey. On the Subaru boards, Witchhunter and Deatchworks are the go-to vendors that do injector cleaning.
My last experience was with AUS Injection out of Tempe,AZ when i was local. Great service and quick turn around. All seals and o-rings were replaced with new viton parts. I know they ship/receive with UPS.
