Does fast and clean work but you already said it..
definitely stands behind his
I do know they build some fast a$$ cars..maybe worth the call .
I'm going to add S&O Tech they done some work in the pass. And I have been very happy with their prices and work..754-422-4796
but then again I've had dealings with Jose( Kiko), Jimmy, Niel, (Bubble Bee) Stan and Omar (S&O) and have no complaints ..Best thing you could do for yourself is call all these shop and price them.And may the best price shop win....

ME....! call me ... 976-duck!
I deal with pretty much all of them and each have their pros and cons.
It comes down to how much money you have and what are you goals. Then you go
from there. //LRD has a strong point. Call them up and price them. But do yourself a favor
and get alot of advise and direction.

It looklike if you know them personally they will hook you up, but if they dont know you they bust your head wide open with crazy prices.

I have had alot of experiences with several shops but the best experience was Jimmy and Neil (bubble bee) I had wiring issue on my car and one day the car had stopped in the middle of the road SR7 and Stirling rd I had to get it pushed to the side and towed to my house because the car did not start. I was recommended to a Jimmy by LRD but I ignored it thinking it wasn't that big of a deal until now. My car was refusing to go over 4500 RPM and also refuse to shift when in WOT.
I called Jimmy up and he told me that he could rewire the entire car and computer but the only down fall was that he wasn't able to take me in for another 2 weeks. I dropped my car off on wednesday night and LRD picked me up. Jimmy told me I should have my car by sunday. Jimmy called me on saturday told me that I can pick it up on monday. Monday came around and I picked it up he sat me inside the car and made a few suggestions about my BOV and wastegate. I took the car out for a drive and was amazed on how the car drives and response. I dropped it in E-shift and I can shift to any gear the car felt smooth going from gear to gear.
I happily paid him 700 bucks knowing that every time I stuck the key in the ignition that the car was going to start. Jimmy is the best in the business when it came to wiring just asking around.
Jimmy is a quiet guy he doesn't talk alot but from the work that I saw when I open the ECU box it was amazing like factory. I guess you can say Jimmy is more Walk then Talk.
Pros:
Good price
Delivered on time
good communication
Cons:
had to wait 2 weeks to get the car in but compared to others thats not bad
Bubble bee performance
Jimmy and Neil
954 321 5802

I would prefer not to mention cons in a public forum. If you want give me a call and I'll give you my recommendation. I've done many cars and depending on many variable i'll refer you to them. Like I said I have a very good relationship with the ones mention above so my opinion is as good as anyone's here.
