Ecuador
Great full service mechanic shop, that also happens to be one of only 2 specialized importers in Ecuador of all your 4x4 needs. I originally found these guys Googling "ARB Quito" because my awning was damaged and found their website online as Extreme 4x4 Quito. The location on their website is incorrect as of 6/2017, but luckily I found the number of Sebastian (the ARB, old man emu guy, etc here) and he directed me to their new location here. (His # is +593 99-404-3209 by the way)
I never write reviews on iOverlander but these guys treated me so well I was inspired to do it. They replaced my brake pads, welded together a crack in my chassis, did my oil, and fixed my broken ARB awning, all for cheap! Francisco even accompanied me to the car wash to show me where it was and waited with me while they washed my car and then bartered with them to get me a good price, so they could have a clean car to work on. All just because he's a nice guy! Luis the administrator runs a tight ship here and all the guys were quick, efficient, and reasonably priced.
They have all available BFG, Cooper, Michelin tires in Ecuador. Wifi, coffee and kitchenette all on premise as well. 100% recommended. Can leave car overnight if work isn't finished.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
This place is now closed, however Daniel's former partner Alexei is operating AVC Car Services nearby. Please see that post on AVC. We can't recommend them enough. Contact details below:

Daniel is the absolute best mechanic we’ve encountered on the trip so far. He has built out a brand new warehouse space with top of the line equipment and tools. Very clean and organized space. He speaks perfect English and is very knowledgeable about all things cars. He is very affordable and quick.
Here are all the things we had done on my 4Runner:
Replaced 4 ball joints
New brake pads and front rotors
He identified a rattle that has been haunting me for months
New spark plugs
General inspection and tightened all loose bolts on car
Suspension test
Oil change
They even washed the car extremely thoroughly after they performed all the fixes.
He offered to let us camp in the warehouse if it took longer than a day, but we ended up getting a hostel.
His team is top notch and I’m very happy we found his shop.
Highly recommend.
Report Check-InThese guys have moved to this new location last week. Our shocks broke in Cotopaxi and after another mechanic couldn’t replace them we came here. Daniel and his team are fantastic and super helpful and will ensure that you get back on the road with good quality parts and fixes that will last. Daniel speaks English fluently. His mobile number is: +593 98-453-3547. If you need any work done, these guys will be able to help you.
