I need a reputable sop...(that wont keep the car for days)... to help me with a few things.
one is a axle seal... other is i need a bit more camber in the front wheels, and last.. there is a minor oil leak coming from either the pan (possibly needs to be re tightened... ) or rear main. Just need a confirmation on that.

If any one knows of a shop that can check this stuff for me...... that would be great.

thanks.

hawthorne tire does all my wheel/tire balancing. Also look into the Hot Rods and custom stuff. They have won the riddler. Both of those are in san marcos.

If you go to Hot Rods and Custom stuff then bring a huge bag of cash.. ask me how I know.. lol

I can vouch for Best Of Show.. the best part is that if they can't do it they will tell you so up front.

Haha... that is so true it is sad. How did they get you Steve? They charged me $200 just to grind the weld around a previously patched 1 foot section of floor. You have to be careful what you ask them to do, or rather don't tell them not to do. If you leave your car there for two weeks without talking to them they will bill you for five grand worth of work they figured you would want them to do, and that is from personal experience. As for the their Riddler car, it was my understanding that Jordan, who did most of the work on the car has his own shop now. That is not to say that the quality coming out of the shop has deteriorated, the quality of the cars leaving is very high, but the cost might actually be higher :wow:
