Hey Josh,

I took my car there in September for my first oil change. The service is pretty awesome. I have another oil change coming up soon in end of January. I also have my rear bumper clip loose so I'll see if they can help me for free. =)

After that, I'll be doing all the hard work...

Done. I'd usually shoot for Ryan at Coliseum, but I'm amongst midterms so the closest dealership will have to do. Hopefully Todd and his techs will do a great job, the appt. is this Friday.

2slow- They do my service on the alignment rack (oil change). i dont want the techs touching my wheels or aligning them. Alighnment rack is very nice, you just drive straight on, the first lower car friendly one ive seen.

felixsc300- ^ He will. my friends gonna send his bagged WALD LS there too. no worries. He will hook you up

bweezy - I always pass ont he free dealer car wash. I usually wash my car before or after service. The free carwash may scratch up your lips or face on the rim.

Seeing that you are in Foster City, I would just hop on the 101 and go to Vex Motorsports in Santa Clara or The Shop in San Bruno.( Just a side note: You did get stiffer shocks w/ your lowering springs correct?)

Exact or Sonic is a good choice.

Josh, does Sonic do tire mounting/balancing?
