Hi everyone, I'm new here and new to owning a 350z. I bought my z last week and was planning to take it to a shop to have it looked over and have any repairs done that are needed. I know there are post from a few years ago that talk about good shops, are those shops still around/reliable? Or are there any shops that haven't been talked about yet?

I just want a shop that knows what it's doing with with a z and isn't going to screw me over.

Majority of us work on our own cars without taking it anywhere. Those that don't tend to take it to a local guy who will do the work for them at a discounted price (compared to dealerships and shops). I'll message you about who to contact.

Could anyone recommend a good/quality shop in the DFW area (particularly north Dallas) that is can perform an engine swap on my 03 for a reasonable price?

My engine seized and instead of just junking the car I was going to locate an engine via craigslist/ebay/scrap-yard to have swapped in. However I am a bit lost in regards to the best place to have the actual work done.

I have seen some of the performance shops mentioned in this thread but didn't know if those would be the best deal for this repair type work.

Hey Guys hate to be that guy asking for help. But I need a good autobody shop to fix my shock brace (washer has to be welded in) Went to don davis the dude quoted me 600 without butting the car on jacks. He says its bound to go up in price. Im not looking to pay their 95$ a hour. Looking to get the whole thing done alot cheaper. Thanks. I dont mind where it is in dallas. Just want a shop I know can be trusted.

Anyone care to chuck up some recommendations for UpRev tuning? I actually have a Nismo 370Z, but the moderators on 370Z forums haven't accepted my registration yet so I cant post over there (its been 2 months...)... I'm considering just driving to Austin to UpRev and having them do it. I heard Bailey's used to do tuning, but now not so much. Mixed reviews on PRT, and was told by a forum member to avoid Jotech... sooo...? For such a big **** city, we sure do have minimal options....
