Hey guys,

I picked up a 2009 touring + sport 6MT last week. Just want to say hi!

My car needs a 30K service but I don't really want to bring it to a dealership. Can anybody recommend a good shop I can bring it to? I'd like to get the manual transmission oil and diff fluid replaced. Thanks.

AwesomeZ
PowerFab Automotive
EVS Motors
JTran

Really depends on the side of town you're on.

Have you considered doing it yourself? The tasks you mentioned are fairly simple, not to mention you'd save some money.

Robert_K · 04-09-2012, 07:26 AM

Sounds like you all should organize a "tech day." I use to host one twice a year in Colorado.

hadokenuh · 04-09-2012, 10:11 AM

I will definitely be interested in a tech day

I'll probably go to JTran. Have heard a lot of good things about him and the shop. Thanks guys.

Hello everyone. I just bought my 2011 Silver Z w/sport package last week. Looking forward to doing some work on it.

What Window tinting shops do you guys use, and how much did you spend? I can't stand being untinted, I feel so exposed lol.

Welcome, we are having our weekly meet this Thursday at Hooters off 59 inside the 610 loop if you want to meet some of us.
On the tint, it depends on what level you want? Basic tint should run 100ish dollars but more advance tint can be 300-600 depending on the level.
