Mechanic in Fort Worth / DFW

I tried the search and didn't see much

Could anyone recommend mechanic in the Fort Worth or DFW area, I'd prefer someone in Fort Worth but I'd be willing to go out to Dallas if it meant dealing with someone familiar with the FT86. I need a spark plugs change soon, along with more maintenance in the future.

Look into PRT performance in Lewisville. They have worked on donzens of FRS/BRZs and are very knowledgeable on this platform.

For basic stuff like this, any mechanic can do the job. They do not need to be a tuning shop. If you were making performance changes PRT and AWD tuning are both in Flower Mound / Lewisville and ATS Racing is in Denton. Tho I'm not sure if ATS is still around or not. Also for just general wear and tear (spark plugs, oil change)
stuff, they are all priced around the same and you can just hit up the dealer.

I called Steve at PRT and he recommends the Full Blown Turbo Kit from his experience, however, I did not exactly ask what other ones he is familiar with. I'm also looking into going for some boost with a turbo kit so feel free to msg or drop any knowledge. Trying to figure out the best way to long term daily drive a turbo brz wo sacrificing gas mileage or blowing up my engine.

Does anyone have an idea of what it should cost to replace stock springs with eibach pro-kit springs at a local shop in the Dallas/Plano area?
