Where in SoCal? It's a big area...

If you're looking for a talented Indy with SDS and not necessarily a tuning and/or aftermarket shop, there are several good ones around.

In West LA there's G&N http://gnnmotors.com/

They're really good.

p.s., Claus Ettensberger is literally just a few blocks away from G&N....

Serge and John at Hyevon are great in OC, and James at ACG in San Diego is a good guy too. Just depends on where you are.

I recommend AutoTalent in West LA (~ 2 blocks south of Wilshire Blvd. on Sepulveda, right across the street from the LA Sports Club).

They're the only ones that I've ever trusted to work on my cars and have always done a great job. They've done all of the power upgrade installations on my M3, M5 and E55 and can also do basic service.

Give Sam a call. 310-231-7800

Yes sir. They're really good. They fixed up alot of stuff on my e46 M3 that was improperly done by another shop that was causing me all sorts of problems.

They did the IC pump and K2 about a month and a half ago. Give Sam a call. He is sometimes hard to catch so you might also consider shooting him an email too just to make sure. The contact info is on the website link located at the bottom of my sig.

Definitely Hyevon. Serge and John will take care of you. They stand by their work and have done a good amount of work on my car.

Slight OT.

James,

Sent you a PM a couple of days ago or so with no response. Wanted to follow up on the PSS 285 size? Any news?
