Well I've been to both shops and talked sr20 swaps with them, something that me and my buds did back home, jus to get a feel for there knowlege, skills and what not. Let me start off by saying that both are very good shops and have people comming in and out. Work is constantly being done and I always see cars in various stages of tune to me busy shop = good shop.

When I talked about the sr20 swap both shops seemed to know what they were talking about but millenium was willing to go the extra mile of offering me use of there facilities to bring the labor costs down, that caught me by surprise. Both shops are overpriced a swap in nyc will cost about 4.5k, down here it seems like the same swap is about 6-7k, for that price in nyc you get a flywheel and clutch package, aftermarket exhaust and custom down pipe plus a pretty sweet fmic like a HKS or Greddy unit.

At autosolutions repeat customers get hooked up, I had them do some simple work on my crx to feel them out. The more work I had them do the cheaper the labor costs got. Parts were still overpriced though and it took more than a week for them to get an apexi world sport exhaust. The apexi was $500 which is usually a $450 exhaust, but they quoted $550 for an HKS which runs a little more than $600, go figure. The work itself is pretty good quality. I had some problems with my credit card and they still seemed pretty chill about the whole thing even though I was steaming over the situation. Labor runs about $60 an hour, I'm use to $45 in nyc but whatever. I've been talking to Chris, Eric and Mike all of whom are good peps who are willing to take time and talk to you about what work you want done.

In the end though it just came down to a location thing, I'm planing on getting a place close to VA beach when I come back from deployment so Auto solutions is the place I've been going. If I were to get a place in chesepeak or portsmouth then I would have gone with Millenium. Also auto solutions has upgraded to a bigger facility, a growing business is always a good sign. Also Autosolutions seems to deal with a lot of hondas/acs a few of them are pretty quick, and the guy I spoke with at millenium almost made my head spin with his nissan knowlege so you might also want to dwell on these facts when you select a shop. Peace and Good Luck.
