yeah I can recommend holeshot as well, especially since you are in trabuco canyon, they're right over Ortega Highway in Eslinore. shouldn't take you more than 40 minutes to get there!

I made it from holeshot to dynamic autosports in like 40 minutes last friday but I was on a sportbike

is dynamics a good shop? i have been there before but somtimes they seem to have higher prices than other shops here local

don't know much about dynamic other than that they have a lot of cool parts in stock.

it's a HUGE building, definitely the biggest import shop I have seen.

wouldn't surprise me if the prices were high considering what they probably pay for that shop.

personally I prefer to get my work done at smaller shops where the owner (who usually has the most experience) does the work himself, rather than big shops where work may be delegated to less experienced employees.

the owner of a shop has the biggest incentive to do a good job because the quality of work directly affects the reputation of his business. an employee may not be as concerned about doing stuff in a half-*** manner since he gets his paycheck either way.

that's just my personal opinion though.

that's why I recommended Holeshot, Harvey does all the work himself.

here are a few other reputable shops in SoCal:

Revolt Racing, Riverside (951) 378-2638

Hookups Import Tech in Upland, CA

Rage Racing, Montclair

Pro Street Imports, I'm not sure on the city but it's off the 5 just north of the 91....

B Series in Vista, CA (pm Rusty Shackleferd on H-T he's the owner)

Sportcar Motion also in the Vista area

there are a lot more good shops I'm sure, but those are the ones I have personally dealt with and been impressed by...
