Cant go wrong with both. Prospeed does a lot of work with H22's.

i think if u are going to do a swap on your car ... you should look at doing it urslef (with some help ofcourse) ... most of the times when u do a swap somethin goes wrong or parts are missing and so on... so in order for you to save alot of money in the future on taking it to shops to get it fix... cuz u dont know wuts wrong.. just get ur hands dirty and do it urself.. u would apreciate ur car more that way.. my opinion ....

plus with the 500-700 bux of labor they are goign to charge u... u can get urslef some goodies... like a new clutch...tune up...and so on

I know of a few unsatisfied customer stories about that prospeed place. But that happens at any shop, it just kinda sucks of there's numerous ones, and for dumb stuff. Stick to Autolink, I say.

I have heard Prospeed does decent work, but they suck in when it comes to dealing with customers.. The never pick up the phone, they lag on installs and especially building motors, and straight up BS customers...

I wouldn't deal with a company like that..

Go to Autolink... You might pay a little bit more, but they will treat you like a customer...

I've had a few differences w/ some people at Autolink....but they are a good shop to do installs at I've had a few things installed there, and my friend goes there to get stuff installed and does his oil change there too. That and Autolink is close to me

its funny retail establishments build repore with customers which i highly believe in. its also imperative for customers to build repore with retail shops just so that they know if you walk away happy there's an absolute guarantee that you'll be back for future service.

as for which shop to go to for service that all depends on how you present yourself. if you have a friend that knows someone in the shop. or just luck of the draw sometimes shops are bombarded with work and who knows how anyone works under pressure.

take your time, shop around, and get a feel for how shops present them selves to customers that walk in. there are times that they'll treat their hommies better than strangers that walk in their shops.
