I have overheating issue in my g35 coupe, i believe one of the fans is bad, sometime it spins and sometimes you have to hit it a few times before it starts up.
What is a good place I can have a mechanic whose trustworthy and very careful with my car and know how to handle lowered cars?
Does Sal's Autosport do diagnosing and repairs under the hood as well? My car is out of warranty and I definetly don't wanna take it to Infinity. They charge $125 just to diagnose, and then parts and labor will be an arm and leg on top of that.
I'd appreciate if someone can recommend me someone whose knowledgeable and be 100% honest and upfront about what the problem is and tell me exactly what I need to fix it without lying and saying I have about 10 other things wrong with my car when I take it for them to look at.

I tried them out, based on this referral. On a scale of 1-10, I'd rate them at a 7. I dropped off a Spacro harness bar and 2 brackets for them to paint on Friday 2/27/09. They told me they'd have it painted by the following Tuesday 3-3-09.
I called on Tuesday at end of business, they informed me they hadn't started painting yet. I was told they'd be ready on Wednesday or Thursday. No problem, I just said ok and thank you. Thursday rolls around. I called for status at end of business day again. The lady that answered told me she'd check and call me back. Never heard from her again. I called this morning 3-9-09 to advise them I would be picking up my parts whether they had been painted or not. I was told they were ready.
In honesty, they were ok. I just expected a bit quicker service for 3 small pieces to be painted. I've had my car in the body shop for more extensive damages, and recieved it back in the same time frame.
The paint had a few noticable imperfections in it, but hey, guess you can't complain for $100.
I'd use them again, but would check out other available places first. There are many body shops in Houston to choose from...
EDIT: I've included a few pictures of the final product and one picture that had the imperfection
-2 cents-

I gave my recommendation based on work on my car, not pieces. Sorry to hear you had that slow turn around. However, It is hard to find a body shop that really does great work for every customer. Some out there do varying levels of quality depending on the kind of car/customer involved.

I talked to steve their at this place today 6-3-09 and he reassured me they do body kit installs. has anyone used this place as of lately?
I got a front bumper from m1autosport sideskirts, a rear bumper, and a hks exhaust,and gt spec lower tie brace bar to be installed.
How much do you guys think it will cost to do a install of all these things?
Could it be done in a single day?

Well just took a visit to Sabs in Houston to put tires on my rims. They've fixed some rims for me before so this was the second time around for me. They did do a great job mounting the tires by not scratching the rims but before they mounted they hit me with some bad news. Told me 3 of the 4 rims were bent so that really sucked but they were able to straighten them right out. A++++ service for Sabs!!
