We had a good experience taking our 2000 4Runner to Clinton's for its 90k service. The check engine light had just come on as well, and they determined that the water pump needed to be replaced. (There were other signs that it was bad as well.) The guy I talked to said the engine light could be something else, but there wasn't any real reason to spend tons of time to track down something else when it may not be anything besides the water pump. Bring it back if the light comes back on, we determined.
We were told the 90k service itself could be done in a day, but when we found out there was a bit more work, we were told they might need extra time. Turns out they were able to do everything that same day anyway.
We called around to a few other shops (found on Judy's Book) and Clinton's estimates were in line with everyone else's. The final prices were right about where their estimates were.
