Thats very insulting... I have by far the best pricing... And minus a few minor issues following jobs i've had no issues after work has been complete. I do agree to stay away from the larger shops in town but by all means bring it to me and get it done right... Rather then doing it and then bringing it to me to fix the mistakes... I've been working on mycar since 06 and if it can go wrong its happen to me but i've learned... So unless you wanna learn the same lessons i have... Bring it to me

I mean, I do almost all the work to myself because I do not trust anyone, but Joe works as a mechanic by day, then works on your car all night or all weekend just to get it done when you want it. If you dont believe me drive by his house around midnight and I am willing to bet money he is working on a car. He doesnt bull**** you, he tells it how it is, he charges well below average, and hes dedicated to fixing your broke *** car. haha But trying to lump up every mechanic in town as a turd is unfair because there are definitely good ones to take your car to and Joe is one of them.

Same here I've been company to Joe until 1am working on cars and the guy is the best in town and counties around El Paso! By the way be careful saying that to other people about Evolution trust me better just keep the words to your self, I'm just saying this to you as a friend even that I don't know you...

And please... Keep my words to myself? Sounds like a threat LOL everyone whos everyone knows everything about that place.
Ive met Gabe a few times and actually used to be friends with his cousin. Theyre cool. Would always get spanked by his cobra but it was always good fun.

I'm just saying... Its been FOREVER since Ive been ACTIVE on this site. Kind of got out of the scene for a long time.

So... please, don't insult me saying that I dont know jack... or Im "smoking" crack.
I've been dragging my Evo since Desert Demons was open, patching Tephra mods when the software first came out, and swapping out clutches with nothing but a few walmart jackstands in less than a day.

I'm sure there are good mechanics out there and dont mean to insult anyone, but I'm just speaking from experience. I'll leave it at that. lol

I dont ever recall seeing this El Paso thread so forgive me for just popping in and tootin my horn.

I think the reason for the responses you got are because...while you have been in El Paso..you havent been on this thread and no one immeaditely knows who you are. Im sure you can see why we all jump up when your first post was quoting years old post and saying do the work yourself. Working on your car yourself is all fine and dandy...but not everyone has the time, tools or experience to troubleshoot and fix a problem. Joe, Mario, and Tony are the guys to go to for honest work and honest prices.

We are all on the same page now though

Is you Evo LY and does it have/had alot of CF like doors, hood etc?

If you really know about them and their actual BUSINESS you probably will take my advice. And I'm not threating you by any means, I know Gabes dad and I say hi from a distance just trying to get not to close

lol that is so stupid... Im not "scared" of anybody. And to let that be the reason to have someone be "quiet" and refrain from telling the truth about a shop and their service is childish. Yessss we all know about their car service and their car "dealership"... We all know they have money, which is why he has a custom AMS Evo... in which I would see everyday because he literally lives like 5 blocks away from my house... lol that is so childish. BUT yeaaa it's none of our business to be talking about them ASIDE from their shop service and quality BEING as this is a automotive website...

I will admit... they have one hell of a VETTE theyre running lol

If Evolution Motorsports has has garbage service than no one should be afraid to say it. Ive not heard anything positive about them previously but ive never dealt directly with them so I cant say how their work is...but...as the hobby we all enjoy tends to be expensive...its best to learn from others misfortunes at shops and stay away from them. Thats how it should be anyway.
