The only place I trust my car with. He has done 90% of my mods and has a lot of knowledge of the twins.

Anyone know where I can have my spoiler and fender accents retaped well and not super expensive in the Whittier area? The original owner had the fender accents installed over the stock ones for some reason.

Anyone know of an alignment shop in the AV or Santa Clarita area ?

So I'm in JuJu built in the city of Upland. Currently getting my HKS Legamax
Sports quad tip exhaust installed. Good environment, friendly crew....just letting me
Sit here and take a seat. Can't wait til they're done. Will be coming back for future work, no question. Thanks to the member who posted this shop in the thread.

Anybody in San Diego want to help me update/load tunes onto my open flash table? I just bought an un married OFT and need help getting tunes loaded to the tablet.

I would suggest Project Import for shops in the OC and further. These guys are great, very knowledgeable when it comes to 86. They do extensive builds. Was there the other day and they were putting together a custom HKS R core intercooler for a Jackson Racing SC kit and are building a car with Crawford short block, Borg Warner turbo, E85 setup, looks yummy.

Need rec's to fix the baby
 

FT86 Family :slap:, my beautiful car was rear ended the other day and I am in need of a good shop to replace the rear bumper, plastic bumper, the trunk, and the aftermarket installed spoiler.
I am in Los Angeles and willing to go to anywhere in the valley area, glendale, burbank, culver city, la canada flintridge, etc.

Your experience with any shops recommended would be really appreciated.

Go to Grove body shop in garden grove. It's a large auto repair shop run by a father and son. They have done excellent work and have repaired accidents on 4 of my cars and also worked with me to use aftermarket parts I wanted instead of OEM. You can use any auto repair place you want and your insurance can't intimidate you to use theirs.

If they get any flack from the insurance company, they tell you and you call the insurance agent and regulate that crap. If you are dealing with the other driver's insurance, you just tell their insurance company, "that's fine, don't pay to fix that, I'll just sue your client in small claims court for whatever you don't pay".

Does anyone know of any good mechanics around The Valley that does good work with Subarus? I've seen a lot of stuff posted down south but nothing up north. Just looking to get an oil change and tire rotation mostly, but may want someone to look at a possible oil leak. Any recommendations?

Anyone knows where can i get my lowering springs installed? Around Irvine or Laguna Hills area?

Just drive up a little more there's MODBargains and couple of other shops.

Anyone know any shops that can install parts / oil+tranny+diff oil change that are opened on Saturdays within San Diego Area? I'd like to check out AmorAuto as mentioned above but it's not opened on weekends. Thank you!

Hey I've been living in Nor Cal the entire time I've own my FRS. Now I will be moving to SoCal, Orange County.

The apartment complex I'm moving to is strict about not allowing work on cars. Up here in NorCal I'm lucky enough to live near my parents so I use their driveway for my vehicle maintenance.

My question is if anyone has advice about how and where I can perform maintenance like oil changes, tire rotation, and other basic stuff myself. I know I probably could just do it in parking lot but that is far from ideal. Also not asking about local shops yet, I only bring it in if the work is outside my skill comfort zone.

Any advice or info is appreciated.

Go to www.urdreamgarage.com I go there to use their lift and tools for all my installs and maintenance. They also have a guy there who can help you out when you need a little more elbow grease or experience.

I realized that now after moving this garage is an hour and a half away. Im in Mission Viejo. If this is the only decent option I may do the drive but If anyone knows somewhere closer to the Lake Forest area I would be super grateful.

Hey! We are open on the weekends by appointment. Just got to call and schedule ahead of time.

corner3 garage is right there in lake forest (im in mission viejo too). ive never personally used them but people i trust, trust them.

I have to get my 13 FRS taken in for the valve spring recall, and being not as familiar with the local dealerships I wanted to ask which ones you guys recommend for this major service.

On a couple of the valve spring recall threads folks have voiced praise for the Tustin Toyota and Longo Toyota dealerships. Right now I'm looking between the two, and not sure which dealership/service dept would be the best choice to take my car into.

Any thoughts or advice on which would be the best choice for this job

Thanks in advance.

i have never personally taken a vehicle to Longo but they do have a long history in my experience of being professional and doing good work.

Anyone know a good shop i can take in to get my head unit fixed and probably just get my oil changed? Screen randomly died while i put my car in reverse when it was suppose to pull up the back up camera screen. Head unit still is "on/off, touch screen works, and my music plays" but the screen is black....
Located in South Bay

took the car in for an oil change at longo a few weeks back and car was sluggish since then.. finally popped my hood and found that they overfilled it.... by a lot.. the dealership did call me back after i sent them an email expressing my disappointment with their "tech"

https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net...26&oe=5D4A3B42

that really sucks sorry to hear that. all dealerships are going to have good and bad techs, especially at the lube tech level. i still would much rather take my car to be worked on at Longo as opposed to many other dealerships including the Toyota dealership about 1 mile away from me.

Anybody know of a shop around San Gabriel Valley that'll install an edelbrock sc for a reasonable price?

id raise my hand if you where down in san diego hahah. i love that kit



I'll offer this as a shop in Escondido. They are in the middle of a move and more nissan/datsun specialists, but they work on nearly anything if the customer is patient and smart. You also won't find bigger Rotor heads this side of the county line, and while they work with Mazda;s, your simple bolt ons for the FRS and BRZ are safe in their hands.

They are known for top speed record in a destroked 240sx and SR20 ( i think it was an SR16 by the time they finish)

i shoulda known better
 

hi looking for some help i have seem to come into a bad knock that can either be a spun bearing or several other things but my issue is how i managed to get the car i bought it through carmax and i am still under warranty and not sure weither to take it in oem or with the current upgrades. i did actually put my stock breather box back in . currently oft tuned e85 skunk 2 uel n1 dual catback with stock intake.

Did you get the warranty at CarMax ? Can’t you just take it back ? I bought mines from CarMax and got the 5 year warranty so I’m just curious if they would cover a spun bearing ( they should right ) ?

yeah i got the warranty at carmax... i got the 48 month, 125k miles which ever comes first warranty. frommy understanding it's basically covering powertrain. won't cover suspension [i have already checked on it due to my rear subframe getting shifted to the left just a lil] i got a used one that i haven't put on yet.but im wondering how carmax will handle a modded car or if i should just bite the bullet and tear it down and do an actual build. something that will be in my interest possibly go f/i. i was looking into the tune that i had installed and i noticed that it showed a max of 137 mph and im wondering if it started shutting down or putting limitations on things "oil pump"? or if its just a timing guide that broke or what. i know it's all about what i want and to my liking or what not. seems like i don't have enough or if any friends that have the 86 platform

Anyone know a good body shop that can match the crystal white pearl color? OC preferred.

Looking for a shop to tune my brz. Installed headers, so want to get rid of this check engine light. Located in the IE

Are these places still valid? I'm looking for a place to install some coilovers, control arms, do a corner balance and alignment.

any shop recs to do a short shifter install?

also, can anyone confirm if this part is an actual STI part, or just standard Subaru? https://www.ftspeed.com/part/sg117cc...ow-shift-lever
