Default Z specialist in socal? 2016

It appears that shops are changing what they specialize. The stickied list on this section seems somewhat outdated.
I need to find a Z shop that specializes in engine related stuff.
I may need to have my tune looked at. here's what i've gone through
and what I know.

Corner 3 - they don't tune. they no longer work on rebuilt engines or turbo related zs (very minimal)

church's - went there last sat and there's a ******** that was working there. left me hanging there for the 1st 10 min while he talked about how drunk he got over the weekend. He then said I should take my car elsewhere because they have no time (i called and made an appt and told him I was going to drop off my car).

technosquare - are they still in business? called them up and got some robot answering machine.

I'm looking for a place in the L.A or north OC area if possible.

Specialty-Z in Chatsworth is your best bet. They are very busy these days.

Specialty Z hands down. They work on your car as if it was their own. No other place I would trust touching my car.

You should give church another chance...perhaps talk with shawn or daniel (the main tuners). They are cool people and Daniel tuned my Z. Anyone else working there are nobodies.

btw, if your car is lowered at all, do NOT drive down Alameda st.
