Default Spring Install - West LA/310 -ish

I need to get some Tanabe springs installed.

TMEngineering don't know how to answer the phone or emails, so X them off.

Anyone else a decent shop that can do a spring install for a good price?

I may try the Premier Autoworks tomorrow, but I'm always looking for backup's.

Please let me know!

Thanks

Don't give up so soon on TM Engineering. The guy is super super busy but it is totally worth the wait. He'll work on your car without sleep if needed. In fact, people drive literally hundreds of miles to get the car worked on at TM Engineering. I guarantee that you'll never trust anyone else with your mods.

Cool. I personally know that he's been on very very very little sleep in the past two weeks. Hang in there. He'll get back to you and it will be worth the wait. Good luck.

I'm one of those guys that drives 100s of miles ... try Arizona! I was @ Todd's Monday night while he worked on my car until 2am to keep his appointment that he promised me. He's a great guy and does incredible work. I know he had a couple things come up this week and has been a little busy trying to catch up from all the pre-EOS meet work. Hang in there. Leave a message and he'll get back to you. Definitely worth the wait! He's one of the best and I wouldn't take my baby anywhere else.

Quality work is worth waiting for. Better have it done right the first time than learn by someone else f'ing up your car.

LOL, you are exactly who I was talking about when I mentioned the "hundreds of miles." It was great to meet you at EOS. Take care.

OMG, sorry Henry. How can I forget you. I blame it on still recovering from Sunday I'm sure you guys are two of many people who drive hundreds of miles.

Oh, and I just read about Fortune. Holy smokes...

I'd like to have someone who knows their way around our car and not only can install springs, but is one to make sure clips aren't broken, etc when pulling carpet back. Details.

I called TM another 2 times no answer, and no replies a few more emails. I don't know how much longer I'm going to wait. Great or not, there has to be at least some level of customer response.

Default RPD Automotive

I found a great guy who use to be a Master Mechanic @Lexus of Westminster. He opened his own shop because of the politics there. His name is Paul @RPD Automotive in Huntington Beach. Worked on all my friends and family lexus. Great price and no bull**** or a reasonable price. He will tell you if you need it or not or wait till next time.
