Houston Recommended Shops

Figured the Z34 owners need a thread like this. Seen a couple repeated questions on where to take one's Z-car. Let's keep it on track for ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS. For me

Default Houston Recommended Shops

Figured the Z34 owners need a thread like this. Seen a couple repeated questions on where to take one's Z-car. Let's keep it on track for ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS.

For me for my Nissan Parts I ALWAYS contact Kyle at Import Parts Pro in Spring first! My VQ35DE long block and numerous others parts are from IPP.

AwesomeZ off of 59 near Humble is another great shop for all your Datsun, Nissan and Infiniti needs! From basic maintenance to full F/I builds!

For your powder coating needs contact Precision Powder in Spring.

If you're not looking to powder coat and want to have a more advance coating that helps with temps and cooling contact PolyDyn off of 1960.

Figure I'd throw Baker Nissan/Tuning up as well. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Thanks for this. I was looking where to get it done. Do they stock RedLine or should I bring it and ask?

I don't think they stock RedLine. Plus I wouldn't use anything but Nissan's Trans fluid.

I recommend ProAm if you need Redline fluids in a hurry. They're near the Galleria area, 59 and 610 (Southwest). They also stock and sell a bunch of other universal parts. Knowledgeable and friendly guys.

2nd for awesome z and pro am. Doug has helped me out on a few items and I pick up my redline at pro am and take it with. Doug does not stock redline always but can get it, just easier to take it with to be sure.

I'm not from Houston, but I have a lot of powdercoating customers who are. Most of them rely on Richey Collision for body work. They have an awesome reputation in the corvette community.

Depends on what you're looking for. Most Houston owners buy online.

So the AwesomeZ place is good for even just maintenance? I need to have my 30K service, and taking it to a dealership (Baker included) is not really the smartest choice in my book. I have had a great experience with Baker Tuning (Paul is awesome)...the actually service/repair shop, not so much.

I'm leaving my personal opinion on Baker out of here. With that said... AwesomeZ is a great all-around everything shop. They have do basic maintenance, F/I builds, track-only builds, to restoration. Last I've know they do not have a dyno nor tuning for our newer computer base vehicles.
