Default With all of the bad news about shops/dealers....

With all of the bad news about shops/dealers you hear very little good or positive experiences that we have.

I want this to be a good guys list. Here's mine:

King Motorsports - Great customer service, great product, and a great source of technical information.

RandD Motorsports - Great customer service with a great product line.

IPS Racing - Great customer service with a great product line.

JDMspecperf.com - Leo is king of shipping stuff very quickly and he has those hard to find items in stock.

RaVer Motorsports - Vernon is VERY knowledgable about many things. The best LS/VTEC conversion kits and LS/VTEC PCV kits are good too. He also bores throttle bodies and does a great job.

Ya know what the truth is,,, We are all to picky and worried about our cars so nothing will be just right. Only a few exceptions where the shop owner is like us.

The following shops/dealership have been great to me (in alphabetical order):

1. AH Motor
2. AJ-Racing
3. Baranco Acura
4. IPS Racing
5. JDMspecperf
6. King Motorsports
7. RandD Motorsports

And, I trust them 'cuz they have people that I know who cares about cars. Great customer services.

King did work that I couldn't do to my GS-R the past 3 years. It's nice to have them local too.

Aaron lacks tools and a lift.

No work done on the R.

Len,

Sorry man. I forgot. Len got me my parts quickly and at a real good price.

If I forgot anybody else I apologize.

We should not forget David at SMSP, who has great customer service, fast shipping and took my COD/Company check in my first order without even knowing me.
He makes excellent cat kits besides the great exhaust systems no matter who else think or say.

Portflow
Wiseco
Hondata
Venom

Not in that particular order. They are all exceptional at what they do and how they deal with customers.

I feel like Tom Fujita treats me like his only customer, and he is swamped with business all the time. Its rare to deal with a company like this.

Hondata always is helpful, and KIND.

Venom is REALLY nice, very hospitable.

Wiseco has done alot for me. Really nice people.

Those are the best companies I know.

Jeff

Jeff has taken care of me for the swap, other parts, hondata tuning, etc. Jerry is a bad *** mechanic and a comedian. See sig. Just hangin out there is fun. Oh, and Jeff has made me so much better in Street Fighter Funny...my roommate absolutely refuses to play against me now.

AutoInnovations
From back home in the bay area. Very good with suspension.

TM Engineering
Todd is a great guy. I've seen him to great work on my friend's ride.
