Car Shops/Garages around Chicago and Chicago Subs

Hey guys I'm just wondering real quick what are some places I can go get some work done at. I live in Chicago Suburbs right by AMS, Strictly Modified, One 6, Factory 5, and Car Boutique. I was wondering what other places are out there that arent known real good but are good. Or just in general where I can go to get work done at. Feedback would be good.

Thanks guys.

I can't comment on all those places but Ithink everyone knows AMS's rep. and strickly mod does good work too, I liked One6 when I had my civic, a friend of mine has built/tuned gt35 from GRD and is happy. The only shop I personally would never consider is Car boutique I think of it as more of a store than a shop that can actually tune or work on my car. And I personally don't like drivers image but that is a personal pref.

Ballistic Speed Motorsports as well...in the starting phases(runs out of a garage atm) but has already done plenty of work on a bunch local evos. PM Lazyfong , B4Ifly, Sekula, or me and ask about what we've had done by him for rediculously good pricing .

I'll put another word in for BSM... they really know their stuff, and guarantee their work.
