I had a great experience at a shop the other day and was curious how many others in the community felt the same way... many of you may shop somewhere out of shear convince others may shop somewhere due to lack of options. I have a hard time handing my money to someone that has **** poor service or are de-void of experience and technical knowledge.

I am one to support the shops that go out of their way to help me even if it means driving a little further or paying a little more… I'd like to start a thread (this thread) where the community speaks out about their positive experiences and gives the shops that do right by us, kudos!

Post the name, location, and phone number (if you have it) of the shop/ shops you think are tops!! Basic Requirements should be:

1. They are local
2. They are active in the community
3. They offer great service
4. They are technically proficient

I’ll get it started…

The did a fantastic job in fabbing up my 2.5 in exhaust and Magnaflow cat. They are not an average hole in the wall shop. They are a bunch of old geisers who have been around for decades. Very nice work bay as well with pits instead of lifts..

i actually just went to his shop to check on my brothers CRX and saw the pics of the 510 really clean

 

for me:

portflow: tom has great customer service, prices, and quality work.

jpr motors: jimmy is really cool and has good prices and inventory.

church automotive: shawn knows his sh*t when it comes to tuning
