Anybody know anything about PIA (Pacific Import Auto) in the Parkland/Spanaway WA area?
I've heard the name thrown around in the Suby community (highly praised) but don't have any personal experience with them.

Are there any quality shops in the actual Seattle "metro" area?

All of the shops listed under the "Seattle Metro" heading in this thread are well outside the Seattle Metro area by 25min or more.

There is one in seattle called Kansai Motorsports, but they are ok. Drift office and ishii motors are top picks but worth the drive.

Silver86 · 02-20-2013, 10:11 PM

Okay thanks a ton

I was looking at Drift Office. They seems to have good word of mouth and I've been able to find a lot of information on other projects Drift office has worked on.

Does Drift Office do maintenance or are they strictly upgrades and tuning? I've never had good experiences with dealership maintenance crews.

Any recommendations on places to get tinting done? There is a shop called "The Darkside" near 140th and Lake City Way NE. They have great yelp reviews (pages of 5 stars reviews) and it seems the owner (Carlos) deals personally with clients and doesn't try to up sell.

Might wanna ask bob that since he does own the place

How about Maxwell Power Services in Marysville.

Someone asked about PDX Tuning earlier. They are still in business. Jarrad (one of the owners I believe) installed my Perrin exhaust system for me recently. Great guy who really knows his stuff. Highly recommended.

What sucks is I have to drive 4-7 hours to get to a decent tuning shop... Haven't found any good ones in Spokane/CDA... Everyone over here travels or tries doing self tunes.

There really aren't any for us. I think there's a shop in the tricities, but other than that its a drive over the mountains for us.... unless we swap over to the WRX platform, which I'm not doing.

I am going to be buying a set of coilovers soon. I was wondering if anyone in the area knew of a good alignment shop in the PDX area, perferably on the west side.
