Best Shop in Washington

I wanna do some stuff to my car (springs, exhaust, etc.) but want to know the best shop in the seattle area. All of them seem so "ricey" and not so friendly, unless you are in their little club. Whats the best shop to get stuff installed. Thanks

Definitely NOT TSR or Speedline![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] I do most of my shopping online.

best place to go in general is to go to those old hot rod shops, they're starting to move into imports now. They'd probably love to hook up your car. That's what i've heard anyway.

THere are Several Shops around Washington...
Examples:
TSR - Bellevue - Overpriced, not very helpfull
ProAuto Sound - Federal Way - Decent Prices but poor Install people (Kids Mostly)
FastLane 2 - Tacoma - Alright for price and install
Speedline - Tacoma - Overpriced for everything
International MotorSport (IMS) - Tacoma - Alright for price but below for install
Morepower Racing - Everett - Alright Prices don't know about install, yet!

Hopefully that will help you in your quest to get the fast RICE (j/K), I mean Civic.

I heard they were "dicks" at More power racing, so I dont think I am going to go to them. I am thinking about going to VTR in Mukilteo...they did my tint and were alright. I was just hoping to see what everyone else thought.

Pretty much anything that is bolt-on for our cars is EASY! However, you do have to have some decent tools, floor jack, ramps, and some mechanical inclination.

Owners manual is a must. If you can't get a hold of one, go to the dealership and photocopy the section that relates to the work you're doing.

No, I'll still hit you up on the stuff for my Si! I was talking about the 2K1 and buying parts. Where did you say you went to school? I have to make sure my kid's don't end up like you![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
