Any recommended shops in Seattle?

Hi Folks:

My '12 MR is coming in December and I plan to get ETS V2 Quiet exhaust but don't want to screw things up so looking for a shop that can do the install that's near Seattle (would like to avoid the hike to Vancouver, WA if I can).

Anyone know of a decent shop? ETS recommended Drift Shop but their lack of a website made we a bit longing for a more professional looking shop.

Also, what happens to the stock exhaust? Do they sell it for parts and if so, do you get a cut of that?

Thoughts?
Tom

Drift-Office in Auburn
Boss Innovations in Tacoma
Pina Motorsports in Kent

Or word of mouth works for any sort of shop that specializes in Exhausts.

The exhaust is a pretty easy install. It bolts on just like the factory exhaust. We recommend Drift Office up north and English Racing down low

Bob is a great guy. You can check out his facebook here. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Drift-Office/41525092147

Thanks!

Michael

I had Ishii Motor Industries do mine in Bellevue. They got it done very fast and it wasn't expensive.

(I think I spent more money on a jack and jack stands this past weekend then the job at Ishii cost)

That would be a first. I dont think I have heard of someone using that as a reason before.

Bob needs to finish his website...that's for sure. And the number listed on Vipec's website for them is actually for an Applebees or something like that. lol.

Bob @ Drift Office
Steve @ Ishii
OR... if you wanted to get your exhaust on AND a retune (which I would advise...) take it to English and do them all at once.

It is pretty fail for a business not to have a website in this day and age.

Tom ~ let me be the first to invite you down to our facility this weekend and meet the rest of the my team as well as the renowned personalities @ ER that is Lucas and Aaron! I'm sure you'll find us to be at least a decent shop - and feel free to make your own conclusions thereafter.

Agreed, but when we've gone back and forth on a more befitting name change, plus we've had been nothing but busy with just word of mouth, a website vs web presence isn't that different in retrospect, at least to me. Besides, our customers have no issue getting a hold of us with smart phones, in this day and age!

Not sure why they didn't change the number though they changed the address. Perhaps it's because the old and new numbers were so similar? I don't know, but again, I did get quite the few calls on the old number for Applebees.

Cheers!


Bob
