Reviews

Brad has helped me out not once, but twice.
He appears to be the expert in this field and I was delighted to find he did not live too far away.The device he developed works perfectly.
He removed my second row Sienna seat while giving me a bit of training, He was fast, efficient, and financially (very) fair. He followed up via email sharing resources to improve my Sienna experience. Very helpful.
I emailed him again with another concern and he not only responded quickly but sent me the part I needed in the mail, that day.
Aside from clearly being very smart and talented in this area, I found him to be kind and generous. I think he truly likes to help people. I could not be more pleased or appreciative.
If you need advice, help, or hacks, I highly recommend Brad.

I overland fulltime. I purchsed a 4 runner and learned quickly that I could not remove the front seat (as I had planned for my build, without a huge warning on the dash). I searched how to fix it and found Brad's video on you tube.

I would highly recommend Brad to remove a 5th gen 4 runner front seat. He was quick to respond to emails, on time for appointment, friendly, professional, and competent in what he was doing. I will be forever grateful to have found him on youtube. The front seat has been out for 6 days and the warning has never come back.

Brad is a fantastic teacher! I scheduled a session to learn how to remove the second row seats in my 2024 Toyota Sienna. I'm tools "illiterate" and no mechanical experience. Brad explained and demo'ed not only how to detach and reattach the seats from start to finish but also how to use each of the tools and consulted on which tools might be useful for me to purchase. I was able to practice "hands-on" how to remove and reattach the seats. I now feel confident to do this on my own. Thank you, Brad! Invaluable learning opportunity for me!
