Specializing in Saleens and mustangs, but do general work on many others. The day I went to meet the owner they were working on a Jaguar and a Viper. They did an excellent job on my exhaust install. Great to know I don't have to drive all the way up to NOVA for basic stuff.

They do dynos with a DynoJet.

 

Stickieee Ftw!!

 

Shameless Plug!

ONLY MINOR BOLT ON and REMOVE AND REPLACE WORK. They carry the recommend Pensoil Platinum for oil changes also.

1. Customer Service: is off the hook, especially when you drive a Nissan
2. Honesty: they have helped me, my wife, friends, and Z owners that I sent there and didnt know from this thread.
3. Craftsmanship/Quality: They install and remove my exhaust pieces for various dealership reasons with ease and grace
4. Turn-Around Time: I can get in, even after hours sometimes.
5. Price: if find them low on somethings, then on parr on others. I usually tip them so they are by no means high.
They have reset codes and such for free for me.... They are all car guys.




STICKIEST OF THE STICKY FOR THIS ONE!

 

what about the 757 now that ross is gone?

 

I'd like to give a vote of confidence to Function:Tuned, Ye Old Wheel Shop, Fresh Designs, and JE Import Performance. My dealings with all four of these shops have always been pleasent.

 

Bump for a good thread and more input.

 

Mid-A is getting pounded with threads from people asking for recommendations on shops. This thread should totally be a sticky and be updated.

 

royal auto body in Rockville is really good and has a fast turn around time.

 

Needs to be a sticky

 

Thanks for the mention guys! We appreciate it.

These guys have worked on my last 3 cars and I haven't had an issue yet. I used to deliver parts to them when I worked for advance and they really take care of me. They do EVERYTHING, from TV, Nav systems, to subwoofer, speakers, general auto repair. They also did the exhaust and test pipe swap for myself and tails' nismo 07 350z. They have done my old system in my maxima:




and they did the stealth install on my 350z that everyone said I shouldnt do:





By the way I love it!
