Pat's Autosport in Auburn WA is worth checking out depending on the work you need. Pat has been racing in the NW for many many years and plays a major role in the 2 of the fastest STI's in the PacNW that compete in ST in ICSCC Road Racing events.

Great place for race car prep, corner weighting, cage building, engine builds etc.

My car is there now for cage upgrades (because, like a dumbass I didn't take it there to have the cage built in the first place!) and has been there in the past with great results.

This STI of Steve Clinton has work done by Pat Boyle from Pat's Autosport

Great shop
 

Below parts have been installed at Pat's Autosport (Auburn, WA)..

• Perrin and Whiteline Bushing combo (WL Positive gear and Perrin Rear shifter bushings)-
• Whiteline Rear subframe bushing inserts

FYI, Pat is a great guy, honest, very quick and knowledgeable. he is coming from a racing background (Motox, gokart, road racing ..etc) so we ended up spending hours (car talk) at his place and he built many race cars and has this beautiful E36 M3, it was nice to hear some good feedback from an experienced guy..coincidentally, forum member @rice_classic was bringing his car to Pat's that day so I stayed a little longer to say hi :)

I can definitely recommend him to everyone who's looking for a good, reputable mechanic :thumbsup:

He just finished welding my car back together where I experienced some body/subframe separation while racing in Portland and he's just about done mounting the splitter.

In a few weeks I'll be back there to have him Plasti-Dip the car "Koi Orange". The plastidip on his M3 looks good I can't resist.

Super nice guy. He'll do everything from oil/fluid changes, part installs and CEL diagnosis to cage and engine building. Great place to get your windshield replaced too if you aren't using insurance.

What I also like about Pat is that he'll source the parts and do the labor but he's totally cool with you bringing your own. My girlfriend gets all her car maintenance done there: Radiator replacement, oil changes, tranny flush, all of it. She'll set up an appoint during her lunch hour for an oil change, show up with the oil/filter and Pat his it done before she finishes her teriyaki! She's pretty much given up on going to the dealership for her regular services.
