Need to find a good import shop????

I need to find a good import shop around the blue ridge 24064 area... someone i can trust i need someone to look over my import swapped vehicles and it seems like every shop i take them to they dont know their ass's from a hole in the ground once it comes to jdm motor swaps.... I need to find a good jdm mechanic can anyone help??? it can be within 50 miles... ive tried my hand at asking around but i cant find anyone that can help... Please help me!!!! thanks

Anyone that can give me a lead that leads me to have a successful transaction with a good shop will recieve a finders fee

What classifies a "JDM Mechanic". Can we overnight a mechanic from Japan, you can put it on my tab at Harry's

there actually is alot of difference in a jdm motor and a usdm motor take for instance when i ordered a valve cover gasket through one of my local shops it took them 3 days to get it.... just a f-ing valve cover gasket...you know why because they had to order it from japan ...the sr20det was never released it america and parts over here are hard to come by...but if i found a jdm spealized shop they would have the connects and know how to get me what i need ... it has nothing to do with me thinking jdm is better than usdm im just tired of dealing with shops that looks down on my car for having a japanese motor ...like the old school muscle car types.... they dont like having to look for parts and then when they have to order from over seas i get fitted a pretty hefty bill .... i just need to find a good reialable jdm swap shop who knows about them threw and threw and will take care of......thanks for all of yalls help ive had a few posts about shop im going to check them out after this snows clears but keep them coming please
