VTR is mad LOL.

Interesting vid. Funny as well. Word of mouth is by far the best policy in my book... also repeat stories of good / or bad instances are a good reference

Word of mouth is by far the best policy in my book... also repeat stories of good / or bad instances are a good reference to a shop's reputation. A desperate shop would do anything to attract publicity while a busy shop has no time for such things. You don't want to bring in your car to a shop that isn't busy, you might get the car in at the time you want, but at what cost? Your car might end up being the car to pay for that week's bills

Best advice to any and all... Visit the shop, and just talk to the staff and the owner. Its easy to tell a bs'er from a real person. If you feel pressured, or uncomfortable, walk away. Gut instincts are almost certainly right.

Yes, and take a look around, does the place look clean and organized (professional). Are they actively working on similarly priced or higher cars when you are there (cash flow)? IS the work they are doing in the same range as the work you want, a place that only does intakes and exhausts isn't the place you want to do something that needs a lot of engine work.


Just like the look of a person will tell you a lot about them same goes for a shop.
