He later moved to the location he is at now which is much larger. Five plus car lifts and also wheel alignment machine and now thanks to Autothority, a dyno.
Autothority has always wanted Min to "merge". Some of you might be familiar with Autothority's Porsche that was in magazines a couple years back. Min built that car. I saw that car from beginning to end when it turned in to a beast. Autothority was behind on rent payments and could not afford to stay at there location and were in bad shape, they gave Min the deal he wanted and Min agreed with it.
As for Pitstop, I have been going there for over 5 years now and Min is also a close friend of mine. He is hands down one of the best if not the best mechanic in Virginia. Also there is another tech there named Ky. He is just plain out awesome. Has done work on my car that other people would not even think could be done. He has been there for the 5 years plus I have known them. Very good guy and friend. Min is a very honest man and very hard working. He gives 110% in ever job he does and he has done all of the work for me on all the cars i have owned. I dont let anybody but him touch my car.
There address is:

But on a real note, me and Min were talking about when it would be up, its in the front taking up too much space. We think in about a month it should be up. Im first to test it

Re: autothority???
No.. Authority does not exist anymore. They didn't get in enough business. All the techs there started getting paid hourly because they weren't getting any jobs to do. Someone refered to the tech with the 240's. His name is Nate. Hes got more than two acutally lol. He's a good drifter. anways he would do more side jobs after hours than jobs through Authority. Anways, the shop was bought out by this Porsche shop in Alexandria, so all the techs from Autothority work there now.
