Laguna Viejo Auto in Laguna Hills. They did some work back on my car when it was stock and they get the job done without telling you there are millions of other problems wrong.

Honda Fiend!!! He's in Covina. My friend had a B16 swap into his del sol and it came out good. He knows his stuff. Great turn around time. Machining companies he deals with are top-notch companies as well. I'm looking for the number. I'll post it when i find it.

No. There is no such thing. I thought the guy I knew for 3 years was legit. But it turns out he wasn't.

I was even nice enough to return his wallet which dropped under my seat when he was working on my steering wheel to try and repair my horn. Anyways, it had well over 4'gs in the wallet with a couple of credit cards.

I returned his belongings, and he gave me $100 for being honest. wow! $100 out of $4000+.

Thats not the bummer.

The bummer is when he I took my car to him 2 weeks later to fix my axle. Well, it costed me $300 to replace both axle and the left side is still making clicking sounds.

Anyways. He got his $100 back in no time.......

And then I brought my sister car to get done, he told me it was the alternator, which was causing her dash to stay constantly on. And he did a reading on it saying yeah, the alternator is bad. I think the reading was 13 or something.

Anyways, took it to my friend, and found out that there was just a loose connection. Bad ground.......

Nice man......... Really..........

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, when I did my axle, he replaced my Radiator Cap. Well, he forgot to charge me $5 for the radiator cap, and said, its ok.....

On my next visit to him, to do my oil change, cuz i was too lazy that day, guess what, my $15 oil change, turned out to be $20... They included the $5 for the radiator cap they forgot to charge me 2 weeks ago!

http://kerechuk.com/
or
Horizon Automotive
1202 N Azusa Ave
Covina, CA 91722-1247
(626) 858-1708

Both is in San Gabriel Valley. It's a good 45mins to an hour away from Irvine but they both kick ***. Kerechuk is more pricey and sometimes cost more than dealer but they are legit. Horizon Automotive is also great and not as expensive as Kerechuk. They both have been in business for 10+years.
