I don't like them. I think they are shady.

I saw a receipt from a guy who had work done there that said $175 to install an ecu in a SI or Integra, I didn't really have the heart to talk to him about it though. (They also apparently charged him $425 to tune his car. But all that was on there was a basemap when he got re-tuned) I bracket that one because it is kind of hearsay....
Take that info and do what you will with it.
Good LUck

When I first got my z I heard that they were z specialist. The owner Brady owned one. I knew nothing about car let alone turbo cars. I brought my car there for a clutch install.

To drop the trans you have to remove the exhaust. I got a phone call from Brady telling me that my pre cats were "clogged" and were robbing me of power. He then went on to tell me he had a perfectly good set off of his car that he was willing to part w/ for $300. New they were around $350 a piece.

I jumped on the deal and a few weeks later I learned that I could have bought downpipes for $400. So basically I paid for his downpipes. He could have just told me that I could upgrade. He knew I was into performance (i bought from him a staged clutch and lightened flywheel) because we talked about future mods. That is why I think he is shady and could of been a better person about the hole deal. Instead he took advantage of an uneducated customer.

My fiances father has a mint 1986 toyota celica supra that he took there when the head gasket went. They fixed it, less than a month later it blew again. They blamed it on something else on the motor(which isnt true becase of inside information.) They then charged him all over again to fix it. I dont think their bussiness side is all that great but some ofth people that work for them are awesome. You guys know who you are!

Brady is pretty cool to me..They are expensive cause they charge a shop rate per hour...But ive had them do a few things before in the past an Brady said dont worry about it..(free)..So they are good peoples to me just a little pricey on things...But Brady is a well known guy he used to race the Zs..

Few years ago I stopped in to ask how much to lower my 2002 Altima...wanting an eibach prokit drop. For parts and labor total was going to be $700 plus tax.

After I finished crapping myself, I asked how much if I got the springs elsewhere and had them install? They told me they don't do it like that.

So I said fukk em...went and bought the springs and had an experienced buddy help me out.
