Yodaman

I had Yodaman (Larry) change out some shocks and springs on my 4Runner. The price was reasonable and the work was performed in a timely manner. I will definitely be going back for future service.

Yodaman helped get my husband’s old T-​100 back on the road. That truck means everything to him. Thank you!

What a great shop!
I have nothing but GREAT things to say about the entire crew at Yodaman.

Yodaman is amazing! I recently bought a Toyota 4runner, and was up visiting friends in Sonoma County. My car battery, starter, or alternator was glitching out on me while I was in Rosa and eventually one of the above went out one morning. I had a friend help jump it, while the other called Yodaman to ask if we could come by for a replacement. They said to come on by and they’ll check it out…
Almost as soon as we got there, Larry came out and looked at my new baby, even though the shop looked super busy! He was able to diagnose the problem (battery, thank goodness!) and was able to give me a completely reasonable price for the job! Will ALWAYS go back to Larry when I can.
Also, I have a friend who frequently gets off-​road parts installed and the occasional maintenance job done here, who won’t go to anyone else! You can always trust the shop to give you solid advice and do a great, quality job. Yodaman really does know best when it comes to Toyotas!

My husband bought a 1988 bone stock Toyota 4Runner v6 (automatic) in Dec/​Jan ’14, he wanted to make it into the ultimate off-​road machine.
We took it to Larry because my husband heard he was the best. (We could have taken it to a place in Fresno [where he grew up] for cheaper & it would have been done faster… but he wasn’t sure about the quality of their work) We made multiple drop-​ins before any work was started to discuss what would be done, what parts to use, cost, time, etc.
We dropped of his 4runner mid Feb ’14. He had a solid axle swap (SAS) w/​custom double shackle rear suspension, front & rear ARB air lockers w/5.29 gears (high pinion front), an auto to manual transmission swap, dual cases w/​twinstick (2.28 front & 4.7 rear), rear disc breaks w/​mico line lock, front & rear bumpers, rocksliders, & Raceline monster beadlocks all done to his 4runner. It took about 4.5 months (mostly because it took us a while to come up with money).
Larry is a great guy & is Paul (his son) is an amazing fabricator. They love off-​roading & really know their stuff.
Their shop rate is: $ 100/​hr.
Later down the road, my husband will be dropping off the 4runner, again, to have an exo cage put on.

Larry did a great job fixing the 2.7L on my 01 Tacoma after Paul’s Empire Machine Shop Bungled the rebuild on my motor. Very satisfied with the work, so much so that he is doing the rebuild on my daughters car right now. Should have gone to him in the first place. Great shop.

Took my 2005 Honda S2000 here for a standard 60,000 mile maintenance they did a great job, got me in very quickly and it was $ 150 cheaper than Honda wanted to charge me. The guys in there were very friendly, and after I told them I was thinking of selling my car they suggested, where and how to do it to get the most money. will definately be back. Thanks again!
