Default Need a shop in Peuget sound WA area

some of you may know that I recently relocated to Redmond. Well I need to establish a relationship with a shop that can work on my boosted GS400. I have a few things that need tweaking right now and I figure if I can get a good feeling about them and their abillities I could use them to do some more major work, like engine builds and tranny swaps etc.

So can someone point me in the direction of a decent shop that knows what they are doing and wont rip me off?

PS, I know thats not how you spell peuget

Speedware motorsports. Not the cheapest, but the only place I would trust on the eastside for an engine like yours. They do some AMAZING work! Ask for Kelly and tell him Mark with the bagged Q45 sent you.

Came from Metro Atlanta, i was very active in SELOC and have been active on Clublexus for a few years. Did Dragon meets, Orlando meets and helped with the Lexfest organization.

I started out Supercharged switched to Turbo, two transmissions and two engines later here I am.

I've only gotten my coilovers installed by them, but Intec Racing in Kent seems to have a pretty decent rep.

Doug @ UP Garage, none other even comes close. Him and his crew (Erik) put out some of the best stuff in the NW. Check out the comments page and see I speak truth.

www.upgarageusa.com

Go there and at least speak with him, you will be impressed

hey james that was me, I wound up not needing those orings afterall I wound up having the same size already and just reused them.

The Speedware folks wound up being right around the corner from me so I went over there this AM. The bad thing is they cant help me out untill the 14th but oh well. There are a couple of photos of the car here

Thanks for the links guys, if I decide to rebuild the engine and do a tranny swap they will come in very handy.

Off topic... I wish I knew why I dont get notified of posts on my subscribed threads.
