Houston: Good shop for basic things that I'm too lazy/incompetent to do?
 

Hi, I joke, sort of. I read through some of the "shops" topic but I'm not looking for a tuning place, just a trustworthy service place that knows their way around our cars. (And not the dealer!)

I live right by Allen Parkway, at Dallas and Dunlavy. I'm looking for a good reputable place anywhere where I can do things like transmission fluid change or brakes. I'm not good at this stuff and I live in an apartment so me doing it isn't really an option. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Both easy to do, hell pay me Ill do it.

I asked a similar question awhile back but for the DFW area and at first I rolled my eyes when people were saying "just do it yourself!"... I ended up paying some fellow members for their time and garage use to have them show me how to do it. I live in a pretty white collar world and never had any skills working on cars so it was pretty rewarding doing some basic stuff myself. I noticed there was some interest on the meet up thread to have a "houston tech day", I would recommend going to that and knocking out some of the work you need done on your car.

go to jtran studios......

same situation here, I'm looking to get my brake calipers painted.

looking for a shop, that would remove the calipers clean some rust off and paint them.

Find a nice day, and do it yourself. You can buy a complete DIY Caliper Paint Kit from autozone for under 20 bucks...

Did acouple, you dont even have to remove the calipers,and it comes with everything... I had left over paint.

Kev and ss7, Go to Street Dreams and ask for Derek, he will take care of you. Low pricing, good work, and they mostly deal with/specialize in 350z's. Trust me bro, its worth the drive.

Derek: 713-875-1379, tell him Mike sent u.

In Houston...this is your number one stop!
