I need to replace the front cv axle (4wd) on my toyota? Does anyone know of a competent mechanic anywhere from Destin, PCB, or DeFuniak or all points in between? Looking for a mechanic who does side work. All of the shops I’ve called are sky high.

You might try Frimet to Z in PCB. They are about as reasonable as it gets around here. Nothing here is cheap, and going with cheap might really burn you when it comes to auto repair.

@Professor Were you able to find a good Nissan mechanic? I have a 2003 Xterra that needs work. Thanks!

It was Toyota. No. I would look in Fort Walton.

I ended up using a long time mechanic friend of mine in another state. Just from my experience, prices along 98 in SoWal are THE highest in the area. I would look in Fort Walton, Niceville, or even Freeport.

I wanted to follow up here. Pop’s Auto Repair in Freeport. The owner, Troy, is an ACE mechanic. He has worked on two different Toyotas for me. He’s a Toyota Master Tech. Works on other brands as well.
Honest, supremely competent.

Here’s his Google Maps link: Pop’s Automotive · Freeport, Florida
