I had springs and exhaust installed by Gruppe-S about two years ago, while they were still in their Fremont location. Price was very reasonable and the job was well done.

My exhaust started to rattle a few days later and they just told me to stop by so that they could readjust it (for free). The rattle wasn't their fault, by design, the Greddy exhaust just barely cleared the cross-brace.

I don't know what kind of work you need done tho. Springs and exhaust would be easy for any shop to do.

I had a pretty bad experienc with them with my WRX. It wasn't an intall thing but bad none the less. They had a group buy for a painted part on clubwrx. They eneded up being about a month late and when I finally got them the paint was awful and it was the wrong color. There pretty well respected by most subaru people but after my issue I wouldn't do anything with them again.

i purchased tons of parts and had them installed on my evo from gruppe-s.
i was very happy with the work.
back then they only had one guy doing all the work at the old location.
here is what they did from what i can remember
coilovers(cuscu zero 2 r inverted strut)
exhaust manifold/o2 housing/downpipe/exhaust(which requred taking the turbo off)
defi link/guages
brakes etc.
it took like two days for all the work and the install pricing were super low
hope this helps

i had my zeal coilovers installed by them a few months ago. Not the most friendly guys as they were pretty apathetic towards me, a customer that had just dropped almost 4k for some coilovers and camber arms.

They also insisted that I could not watch or even peek in on the install. That's not a big deal for me but it was annoying nonetheless.
