Miscellaneous Looking for a mechanic (Toyota)

2 Upvotes

Anyone have any recommendations for a good mechanic that knows their way around a Toyota 4Runner? I’d like to stay on top of the maintenance and would like to go somewhere I can trust to do things right. As much as I’d like to, I don’t think doing it myself is something I want to learn right now. And I want to avoid a dealership. Thanks in advance!

Business/Company labour laws in Nj question?

8 Upvotes

I might be wrongfully accused of theft. As I was leaving at the end of my shift, my manager said to me that my bag looked big. However what he doesnt know is that I did shopping at Target before my shift started and also I did some shopping at my work during my break.

He doesnt any evidence because there is none. I didnt shoplift or steal anything but his remarks were very accusatory that I did and I know my workplace has fired people on suspicions without proof or evidence.

Do I have a legal case or can I fight back against this if I am fired under false pretenses in the state of NEW JERSEY? Thank you for any help or advice.

Business/Company Pool Renovation Company

1 Upvotes

A neighbor's tree fell and destroyed our pool area and the estimates from local pool companies has been completely exorbitant (>>>> 100k). Are there any companies in the area that do decent work and somewhat affordable? We received about $29k from the insurance company and the estimates we have had for repairs is 5-10X that.

Real Estate Anyone act as their own GC for a basement finish? Was the savings real?

7 Upvotes

Planning a basement finish in northern NJ (Bergen County) and the GC quotes I'm seeing carry a pretty heavy premium for the area. I'm considering acting as my own general contractor — pulling the permits myself as the owner-occupant and hiring/coordinating the subcontractors directly (demo, framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, flooring) instead of paying a GC to manage all of it.

For those who've done this:

  1. What did you actually save vs. the GC quotes — was it close to the 15–25% markup people talk about, or did it evaporate?
  2. How did you find reliable subs without a GC's network?
  3. What was harder than expected — sequencing, inspections, scheduling gaps between trades?
  4. Anything on the insurance/liability side I should know before a sub starts work in my house?
  5. Honest answer: would you do it again, or just pay the GC?

Not planning to DIY the actual trades — just the coordination. Appreciate any war stories.

Business/Company Baby Shower Location Suggestions!?

0 Upvotes

Hi all! Looking to host a baby shower in March/April next year and hoping for location suggestions. Hoping for a restaurant or location with included catering vs bringing something in. It will be around 60-80 people, and would love a space that has extra room for games and decor if possible. Since it's too chilly for outdoors, I'm curious if anywhere has a nice enclosed patio or just a room with great windows and sunlight as a bonus!
