Default any good shops in NOVA? need a place that works on miatas

I need a good recommendation on a good shop in the NOVA area.

My miata is in a shop right now and if its not done by next wednesday, I will need to take it to another shop.

so any recommendations would be appreciated. Car needs head installed and needs to be rewired.

I'm sure the car needs more, but not too sure what the current shop has or hasn't done.

any recommendations?

Yeah I recommend the shop found in the thread below, where your car was pronounced done about 15 days ago. Shouldn't you be picking it up?

Wouldn't heed our warnings about your car prior, why would you take our shop suggestions seriously?

So what happened to your car being finished and you being a satisfied customer?

I never said my car was finished or being a satisfied customer. I'm just looking for a good shop who does good work.

Atif did though so that was more directed at him for when he stumbles across this thread, he said that you were a very satisfied customer and that your car was returned to you completed. We even told him we'd never mention him or his business again if he got you to com eon and verify that.

I don't live in NOVA, I'm close to Charlottesville, but giving some more details on the current condition and problems with your car may get you more responses from people closer by.

Just as a forewarning, this is probably going to turn into another thread like all the others about AA Motorsports.

What type of work do you specifically need?

Off the top of my head - Performance Buyers Club in Chantilly or RP Performance Racing at Summit Point Raceway would be your best bets for miata specific shops. Depending on what needed to be worked on, I might not take it to either.
