We didn't even start on that turbo yet? lol...the only 1/2 ass one I can think of is the NEW CELICA GT TURBO. That's the way HE wanted it..we advised against it, then he turns up the boost and it blows and we get blamed? Let's see NEW CELICA no Fuel MGMNT, small injectors, 5-6psi VS. 9-12psi...and it's our fault? Oh and the guy didn't even finish paying for the car and he wanted it back because it was done? I don't know any business that will give a customer a product that's only 1/2 paid for...We've built a RSX Type S turbo, 3 single cam NEW civic turbos, and many more custom turbo setups. Before you blow up my shop and the work we do get your facts straight. oh and GREASER FAB..lol..DG2NG sounds better..lol
buy my EK..lol

Dood dont mean to be rude but one of your mechanics is an idiot......(hope its not you)......Told me my Spec-V had 12 to 1 compression...I laughed my ass all the way to millenium....If you want to get customers, dont let pplz like that Talk.......I'm sure you guys are good with whatever you do but I will never be back to your shop........ And your custom turbo setup guy is shiesty......
You all look like your trying to fuck the next person who rolls in the door.......I wasnt impressed......Millenium has been around and has a good reputation (and they dont say dumb shit).......If greaser likes them (and hes got some bad ass Nissans ) I'm down with them.........



Edit: No offense to you.......Just had a bad expirience in general......But with that in mind ....would you advise one o to a shop that said some dumb shit like that?

See my previous post on first or second page of thread.

My personal experience with Millennium.

Carl, my team mate who has the red 91 Sentra is a regular daily customer there so I decided to have some of my work done there.

Plain and simple, Millennium is BUSY, I have been in there for a full day and the phone calls, walkins and work in the back never stop. From tinting, to swaps, to simple stuff like headlight bulbs, their work is immaculate.

Because they are so busy in any time frame, be patient, I garuantee that it will all be made up when work is actually done to your car. Their customer service is great(I currently have been in a large retail managementship for 5 years and am finishing up my second business administration degree, so I know customer service and respect when I see it)

Talk to Brian or Grey and honestly with all confidence I'd let them do the rest of the work to my car that I can't do myself.

I cannot say anything about any other shop until I visit them and get a vibe from their work, but from what I've experienced, Millenium 100%

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.

Lates.
