Default Tuning Shops/Auto Shops CA

Hey Guys,
I know I can go into google and type in Tuning and Auto Shops near me to have mods installed (oil cooler, exhaust, etc.), but it still does not tell me whether or not the people know what they are doing, nor does it give me specific Z related expierences.

So for all of the people who live here in Southern California, Where is it you take your Z?

Business name and city would be helpful and maybe a bit about who you had work on your car there? I am currently looking for a new shop to start going to.

Referrals Accepted

Thanks Guys

Cheers

Precision Z is also worth a look. These guys know Nissans and Datssans.

Certified Car Clinic (aka CCC) in Santee. I had them dyno mine, and when i ripped apart my diff and couldnt get it back together they took care of me. They dont tune Zs, but they always have a ton of performance vehicles in the shop, and the last time i was there they had a stock 240Z they were working on.
