Anyone for a list for New York City?

Ghost31711 · 06-19-03, 04:38 AM

i remember some one was asking for places/prices to install spring/shock and swaybars, well i asked my machanic how much he would charge to work on our cars after he installed my shocks, springs, and sways, and here are his prices....

$100 ($25 a corner,) for spring/shock out the door

$55 for front and rear swaybars,

$25 if you only want to install the rear swaybar (he said its easier, therefore cheper)

all prices above are after tax, out the door.

his address and phone is

NJ auto
2662 Lee ave
So. El Monte, CA 91733
(626)582-8281

ask for Jackson (owner)

i really trust this guy, his been working on our cars for years (every single one of my friend and their family's cars too)...plus he also build track cars (m3, porche, corolla GT-s)

He cant get a hold on comptech parts for some reason, but he carries portorfield brakes, K&N filter, eibach, neuspeed, etc. he also does oil changes and fuel injector cleaning( gumout) if your in need of such service

if anyone else have better prices please post them as well.

If you want a good muffler shop then go to Golden Auto muffler and brake.
They are very professional and have a large shop
They are located in Daly City/ San Francisco area

How are their prices for a spring install???

josh stein · 07-15-03, 02:44 PM

Anyone have any places for Connecticut?

civic4982 · 07-18-03, 08:42 PM

Austin, TX

I'd like to recommend Protech Performance. Austin were lacking an impact wrench and stripped the hex on my struts while installing my spring. I took it the next day to Protech and they installed the spring for me for $50 and had it out that same day. Word on the street is that they're very reliable and to me they were nothing but courteous.

They also have a body shop which I've personally seen do good quality work. I'm going to have my M5 spoiler painted there and my roommate with a VW GTI is getting is Oettinger kit painted and installed there this August. More to come about their bodyshop's work.

Though they are a bit pricey

If anyone around the A-TX area needs a body guy...I have one that'll do things for about half the cost of bodyshops...he's the shop all the bodyshops contract their paint work out to...

All I know of is:

Tintmasters
1004 Bank Street
New London, CT 06320
(860) 437-TINT

Very good shop, for tint only. Sorry, I'm not really into the performance mod's yet.

AcAttack · 08-04-03, 02:21 PM

Do any of these places listed (for Bay Area, CA) do wheel repairs?

I have two wheels that just need cosmetic repair from curbing--there is no structural damage (not bent or warped).

Thanks..

Does anyone have anything for the Chicagoland area? Or have you heard of any good places. I knew of a place to take my Legend but the mechanic left, so I'm back to square one.
