AZ Toy Pros is a Toyota service shop out of Mesa, Arizona run by Ben & Erick. Ben is a Toyota wizard and considered by many to be The Godfather of Toyota! He was a Toyota tech for many years, tired of the dealer life he started his own shop. Erick is the owner of State 48 Overland helping Toyota owners bring their adventure rigs to life with the aftermarket. Both of the dudes have extensive knowledge in their areas and bringing them together to make peoples dreams come true was inevitable. Their love for the Toyota Community and passion for customer services makes them the premier shop for adventure lovers from across the country. I had a blast visiting the shop, meeting the guys and doing the podcast. I look forward to bringing my rig down to AZ Toy Pros in the future for some killer upgrades. Welcome aboard guys!
