My main mechanic for my 350Z, MR2, and del Sol is Century Automotive just off of Burnet & North loop. I've known them and used them since 2001 or so. I don't know what I'd do without them.


If you want 350Z tuning, reflash, or dyno time, Uprev are the guys. They can also do general Nissan work, but since they're a specialty tuning shop, their labor rate is a bit higher.


Paint & body - Rebreu on Kramer lane. They've been in business for at least 24 or so years, maybe longer. They've been recommended, and they fixed my friend's Porsche, he was happy. I chose them to paint my MR2 wing, which I should get tomorrow.


For suspension, alignment and tires, I use Soulspeed. Collin knows what he is doing, and is a cool guy.


For audio, I haven't had much audio work done.. I had a very small install done by Custom Sounds several years ago in my del Sol. There's a shop just next to Soulspeed called Sideways auto sound or something, but I haven't dealt with them myself.

For Audio, go to Sideways Autosalon, hands down. They do the absolute best job in town, and they know their stuff. I believe they also do other stuff like graphics, lighting, painting, window tinting, plus totally custom installations. If you go, talk to David, the owner, tell him Rodney sent ya. Check out his kick *** WRX while you're there too!

and +1 on soulspeed, they rock. Bill Kim is the owner and he'll take good care of you.
