A LOT of people have responded to my post (see the last blog entry) about my non-responsiveness with a shop I was willing to give $3000-$4000 to. One of the best things to come out of it is a personal email from the owner of another very highly recommended shop that he can totally take care of all my needs. The downside is that they are NOWHERE near where I live, but I think I am going to have to live with that, if this guy has competitive pricing, and is willing to do exactly what I want and is as cool as he appears to be, it will be worth the 30+ mile drive and having to go there on weekends, leaving my car, getting a rental, etc.
It was like gong to Bill Arnold Independent BMW Service when I lived in San Mateo. He was a good 45 miles from where I lived, and over the GG Bridge, but worth every trip because he is a badass, is willing to work with you, has good pricing, and really knows his shit and is a great guy. Worth all the hassle in my book.
So it looks like I will be giving AE Performance a ring soon and seeing if they can handle my needs.
On another note El Super Goober gave me an instant epiphany the other day. 'Don't tell a shop your list of to dos and expect them to remember it, write it down for them so they dont forget or miss even one of your items'. Brilliant, simply brilliant!
Here is a link to AE's website, no guarantees I am using them yet, but given the guys cool email to me they are at the very top of my list!
