I'm an aerospace engineer and my brother and I have been building and racing cars ever since high school...I know my stuff, and also know what i don't know. These guys, especially kenny, know more about building fast cars than any shop I've been to in Florida, California, and Texas. They love what they do and don't steer you wrong (even if it means not making money on you)...that's important to me. As long as I live in this area, Jotech is the only shop that will be working on my cars.

oh and if anyone needs a hook up on Tires or alignments talk to the manager at NTB North Richland Hills "Jay" he is into racing and sells me my tires for the race car and my Z at just over cost and mounts and balances for 14 bucks a tire, also ask for Mark with your alignment...mark is the man for getting your alignment in right, not just within spec. Just tell Jay that you heard they take care of racers and Joe sent you.

Experience: Fair pricing. The owner, Kenny, races for Quaker State and Nitto. These guys know their stuff and are super friendly. Good shop whether your experienced in the modding scene or a newcomer.

I've heard good things about Don Davis...they are also willing to cater to a Z with Mods...but this is all second hand...no personal experience with them.

Shop Name: Jo Tech
URL: http://www.jotechracing.com
Dyno: Yes
Experience: I went in to have my fujita intake installed on my 07z. Tony was the one who helped me out, and i must say he is extremely friendly. Told him my z was a lease, and i just wanted a few goodies. He reccomend i just get a good exhaust and be done, saying this car is a wonderful car as is (which i agree). anyways, they were very quick, profeshional, friendly, and i would reccomend them to anyone. Looking at the magazines and awards all over the walls, they apparently know their **** too. oh also, another a shop quoted me $85/hr for 2 hours, possibly a 3rd. jotech gave me a flat $85 rate over email for install

I tried searching the site and couldn't find any mention of a leather upholstery shop in Dallas. Any recommendations?

I am very impressed with the work and the attention to detail the Body shop put into this car. I have taken the car to a meet and everyone was very impressed. I would and will highly recomend Details LTD. in addison to anyone that expects a shop to return your car better than it was before the accident.

I had a fender bender now the bumper and driver side fender is ****ed up. My friend recommended New Concept in Plano since he had both his Lexus and Supra fixed up there. Do any of you know if this place is reputable or if you can recommend a better place? I just need a stock bumper and maybe fender.

I can tell you that New Concepts very reputable. I have had my Z fixed there from a fender bender and a total repaint when I wanted a different color along with body mods moulded in to the bumper and interior parts painted. All work as been top notch and I will never take my Z or any other car anywhere else for paint. Ask for Bruce and tell him Mark with the Blk supercharged Z recomended him. Good luck with the repairs and hope you are back on the road soon.

Thanks, I'll take him there as soon as I get a chance. You're probably the only person that's nice enough to cue me in. Seems like the other Z drivers here in Dallas/Plano are pretty cocky.
