Question reputable lsd install shop open weekends? 909/626 area

so i've searched around a bit for shops that can install my nismo lsd + nismo larger diff cover + central 20 3.9 fd. the only problem is, most of these shops are only open monday through friday which i'm unable to do.

i was recommended to a few places (performance gearing, kaazusa, auto budget, etc) but they were all no-go's.

i've tried lookin at this list of socal shops:
https://my350z.com/forum/southern-california/242788-list-of-so-cal-shops.html

but all the shops are either too far, dont open on weekends, charge WAY too much and take too long, or i don't trust. can anyone recommend a reputable nearby shop that isn't TOO pricey around the chino hills, west covina, walnut, rowland area? any help would be appreciated and i'd prefer a shop with experience working on nissans. thanks!

i inquired the same with kazzausa in newport beach (i think thats where they're at) 2 years ago. they turned you away or did they charge too much. why "no-go?"

i think they're pretty reputable.

Kaaz would be the way to go. Just drop off the 3rd member there and the install price would be cheaper.

unfortunately, kaaz isn't open to do installs on the weekends, or else i'd definitely goto them. btw, they moved to garden grove.

i just spoke with the guys over at corner3 garage. they're open monday through saturday but are charging $425 for labor, which is pretty steep IMO.

performance gearing in irwindale quoted $200-300, kaazusa in garden grove quoted $250-350.

You might try Eurasian Automotive in Pasadena. Not a Z specialist, but Ara did lots of work on my Z (as well as a bunch of my other cars over the years) and he is as meticulous as they come. He is also quite experienced with high-performance/racing equipment.

deviljon,

I'm planning to get my LSD (haven't decided yet on which brand) done at AutoHan Performance. I've only been there once to get my Amuse R1000 Y-pipe installed and they did a very good job, great experience & friendly service. Han himself owns a DB Z w/ Bronze Nismo Wheels and a big nissan fan aswell from what i've been told by one of the crew there. And yeah, they're open on weekends.
