Last week I started getting some shop quotes to install my aftermarket parts and do some maintenance work on my Z. I have been using Hill's Garage (they are great), but they don't have an alignment system, so I've been trying to find a shop that has one and can do all the work while the car is there rather than bouncing around multiple shops. I was surprised to see how much the quotes varied (installing the rear diff bushings is expensive af)! Today I decided to go with Kinetic Autoworks. Dave was very communicative, the shop is familiar with Zs/Gs so he helped walk me thru some things, and their quote was reasonably priced. Some shops just don't pick up, or they get back to you days later. I'm sure they're busy, idk.

I have the following things to be done: CBE, FUCAs, rear camber arms and toe bolts, poly rear diff bushings, clutch fluid and diff fluid flush, and alignment. Lastly, I'll need to go back to Hill's for an EcuTek tune, and I'll finally be done my project (I did some other things prior)! I'll be sure to update back on here once everything is done with a list of all the modifications. Hopefully I have a positive experience with this new shop.

People seem to laugh when I say I'm about to complete my project lol. I get what they're saying, but I had to draw the line somewhere and actually have other responsibilities! I definitely learned a lot more about my car though (and made some mistakes along the way) which was great.
