If your in N Washington then Nick is the way to go, if S Washington or Portland area then I recommend Lucas English. I know both these guys personally and they both are very knowledgable and nice guys.
i saw him run a galant (i think it was him) at pir one night. looked stock, but he beat somebodys evo down the course by a full second or more. seems like a good guy, and i have ALWAYS heard positive things about him.

I go to Axiom....definitely worth the drive...I believe the guy that owns the shop...his name is Kyle if I remember right...anyways he won't try to hustle you for **** you don't need and will point you in the right direction for stuff that you want to do...I know he saved me some cash by telling me bad reviews about some parts that I almost purchased that same day. Anways he also has a dyno in the shop and from what I hear, Jun, the tuner is really good! Good luck!

Yeah the Galant is a total sleeper, nobody expects it. He runs quick for the mods too.
If you ever need help with methanol/water injection he is the guy you want to talk to. He has been experimenting with meth for a while now.

the short older asian guy is really nice, i bought a grounding kit and was pretty clueless about how to install it, so he came out and popped the hood on his truck ( nissan titan ) and showed me his install, and then showed me on my car were to ground

one more: Kansai Motorsports (http://www.kansaimotorsports.com/). Can't say anything about their mechanical installs (never had any done), but good body shop work - especially custom pieces and small stuff (e.g. interior pieces) without ripping you off on price. Kevin is the guy to talk to if you go there.

Another good paint/body shop is Queen City Auto Rebuild.
They've done a lot of work for my friends audi's and painted an aftermarket bumper for my old audi. Top notch and they stand behind their work, a little on the pricey side though but worth it.

Khalid's car (Jo and Joey's old car) is in there now after some idiot rear ended him in Seattle.
