They had to raise my car with the jack first before getting the lift's arms under there. Btw, Steve uses the car frame to lift.

Thumbs up Corner 3 Garage highly reccomended!

Took my Z in yesterday with only 1 days notice and had them install my Nismo exhaust and Stillen sways. I found Nima and Steve to be very knowledgeable and totally customer oriented, even offered me a ride home while the work was being done. Charged me only 2 hours labor for removal of old parts and installing new. Hardly worth getting under the car myself in 100+ temps! Car was returned clean, no greasy/dirty fingerprints like from the dealer. I think we have a very good one here and should support a localy owned shop when ever possible!

I went there yesterday morning to get my oil changed for the first time after these recommendations. Nima thought I came in to get an exhaust installed. So im figuring this is you. Steve and Nima are cool guys.

Standard labor rate of $75 an hour, charged me $120 for 2 hours cause some of the work overlaped. Exhaust coming off made installing rear sway bar easier..

Mine might of been lower than yours but anyways, he did have to jack it up. Not sure if he had to really do it or just as a precaution.

+1 on supporting the local shops. We all know how hard it is to find a good shop to install mods and do regular maintenance and word of mouth is better than anything.

Checked out their website. Do they dyno? I see Greddy E-Manage on their parts page. If they have a dyno, do they tune, and have any of you have this done with them? I'm calling them tomorrow, but any pre-talk info is appreciated. Thanks, Greg

Church is a great tuner and he really knows his sh*t! They always recommend to go there. That is where my old car was tuned and he did a great job.

Although Church's outgoing message says that every call is important to them, I've now called them 3 days in a row without a return call. Everyone says they're very busy, but as someone who runs a shop myself, this wouldn't fly around here.
*edit* Corner 3 Garage answered first try, and was very friendly and helpful.

I know what you mean about calling them, but when you go there you will see why. There is Church himself and one other guy and if they are in the middle of runs what can you do? As fara s not returning calls????? don't know, but hey do a phenomenal job!
