Default Time to tune...who you going to use?

The good shops and bad shops seem to change year-by-year, so maybe it is time for a 2009 update since this NE forum has nearly frozen over the winter

The weather is getting nice (maybe)...just curious who you are using to tune your cars now. I already have my tuner picked out, but he isn't local by any means.

1. Who will you use for regular maintinence work?
2. Who will you let tune your car?
3. Body shop to fix damage?
4. Window tinter?

1. Who will you use for regular maintinence work?

- Still under warranty so the dealership
- mods put on by myself and have friends who are mechanics

2. Who will you let tune your car?

- Not sure at this point. I should have it done, but haven't gotten to it.

3. Body shop to fix damage?

- Redi Rite Customs if I decide to get a kit.

4. Window tinter?
- It was the first mod I had done to my car. Its 35% and thinking of going darker this season.

Who will I use for The easy stuff?

Myself

Who will I use for my motor swap and tuning?

My brother. I believe he can do better work than any shop around More than a few members can attest to this fact (liquidsilver, Romey, ect.). I'm not biased though ha ha.
**He does side work too, at a very reasonable rate. PM for details**

I drove to his house on a friday night with a stock Z, and drove home that Sunday night with twins and a new motor! No ****

Body shop
CT.- Pirro's auto
NY.- Orange county automotive (best bodyshop I've ever seen) regularly has Ferraris and Bentleys come through.
