Finally stopped stressing over my Patrol's maintenance, here's what worked for me
Quote from Charles Worthington on 05/05/2026, 9:43 amI don't usually post on forums but I spent months trying to find a mechanic who wouldn't rip me off, my old Patrol Safari has been in the family since 2013 and I was getting quotes that made absolutely no sense, one shop wanted 7k for suspension work that another said wasn't even needed. I was just randomly searching through local recommendations one night when I ended up on 800sayara.com and honestly I was skeptical at first because the internet is full of paid reviews, but I called the garage they connected me with and the guy actually walked me through the inspection while showing me what was worn and what could wait, no pressure no upselling. It's been four months now and the car drives better than ever, I guess sometimes you just stumble onto the right place by accident.
