Austin Automotive service

Does anyone in the Austin area know of any place that does installations and actually has good service? I think its pretty hard to find a place in Austin that wont try to rip me off.

The only place I know is MZM in Austin. Down here I always take my car to Precision R.

If you are worried about the thing in bold, i wouldn't take my car to mzm...
There are very few shops in Austin that work on evos, but depending on what you are trying to do I would shoot zeus a pm. Zeus has the best prices and does the best work in town .

If you are looking for tuning, mzm is pretty much the only place around here. Evidently they can tune a bolt 05 mr so good it will go bottom 12's at 114+ on pump gas without cams and on a 1.8 60ft!

The reason i was asking what u needed done is so i would know who to refer u to. MZM is the best shop around in my opinion for any work to be done. As far as tuning they r some of the best in the country, but if u want some cheap really reliable work done zeus is the man. He has many people that will go to the death backing him and his work. Me being one of them.

thanks j8,
thats great that Mark is coming but I wont have my turbo kit in for a while. Just wanted to know when the time came would MZM be able to tune my car.

Anyone else who knows if MZM is a good tuner of the AEM please post. So far they sound good.
