thats the only reason why I won’t take my car there to get mechanical work done.
Good call, sorry it went that way for you.... oh well just a few bucks at least you got your car back in one piece.

I don't think so, but was wondering the same lol. I loved that shop and was so sad it closed down. The guys there were pretty cool.

I would likely stick with IveyTune if you want to just do basic boltons. They're very close to Elizabeth. If you're willing to drive or have the car transported, my 2nd choice would be CBRD. I've had tunes and work done by both and they do great work.

If you go with CBRD make sure you understand who is doing the work. They did work for me and the car performed well, however, the quality of the workmanship/installation left a bit to be desired, I'm still working with Chad to get this sorted out.
