Default I need a shop to work on my EP3 within several hours of Lexington, KY

If anyone knows of a REALLY good shop that is TRUSTWORTHY and well respected in their area let me know. I dont mind driving to Cincinnait, Louisville, Columbus, anywhere within 2-5 hours if they do good work, price things out fairly, will schedule appointments AND stick to them and they either have a good stock of parts or will at least carry an account long enough that you dont have to pay them for everything you order ahead of time.

I just dont have the time or work area (or resources) for very large jobs even if I did want to do them (plus is drives my wife up the wall). So if you know of shop that can most anything to a Honda and they have a good reputation let me know please.

Thanks

No one is having a shop work on their car in Indiana, Ohio, Kentuck that they feel comfortable passing along a referral to?

There's Street Sports in Lexington. I live in Louisville and have work done by Tachyon Performance. I dont have an EP3, but I' sure most any import shop will know their way around a Honda.

I can get the suspension setup done at the Honda dealership, I know some techs over there. But once I make a decision on if I want to run a supercharger and what kind of headers and exhaust are going to go with it I would need someone to do the installation and more importantly the tuning if I go with K-Pro. I may be able to hook up the supercharger, but since I dont have anywhere I can get wrack time for myself, I have no desire to lay on my back and try to swap the full exhaust system.

Have you had anyone do good work in your end of the state?

Thanks guys! I guess they both do pretty good work? I dont mind to pay for good work, I have just seen some dubious jobs at a couple shops. I think if some "super tuner" off one of the coasts came to our region and set up shop in Cincy or the 'Ville they would make a killing.
