Default a trustworthy perf. shop in the area....

I was having a dicussion with my roomate over trustworthy shops to have work done on our cars. He personally is a Evolution Motorsports enthusiast and I dont down him because they have done some amazing work on 350z's.

Its hard to pick which shop to drop your car off for work at. Leaving your car behind for hours or even weeks. I have had experience working with B&T motorsports in Lorton VA. A newer shop yet growing quickly. A VERY professional and very trustworthy establishment. I drive a 2005 sti and there are only 2 places that will ever touch my car.
1>B&T 2>Ultimate/MachV(sterling, va)

where are other suabru owners taking theirs to?

GO TO ULTIMATE... no questions asked. i always see wrx's, sti's and evo 8's and awd dsm's and even Nissan's :-) But seriously those guys are a GREAT shop and when its time to tune my car it will be seeing them. take it to them.

But as far as trustworthy, I don't know about that. I have had a lot of work done through them and the fucked up my turbo and didn't admit to it, so the sent it out to TX. My car has been there for over 3 months now and they wont even respond to my messages. They will say a date of when it will be done and multiply that by at least 3 too and there excuse is we have other work to be doing instead, which was that 66' Mustang in the back that doesn't have to be done till Spring. I am not impressed at all esp. when I have droped over 4G's with them for thing like custom IC piping, Port&Polish and many parts, and my car has never ran good since it has came out of there shop.
