one of most straight forward and honest guys in the area. He did a showjob on my fj with the exhaust. Not enough words can describe how great his work is.
He bent my exhaust out of the way of everything and tucked it way up under the truck. I have found that I have had alot of compliments about my exhaust of all things haha. It is beautiful though. He also is very reasonably priced. Very good at his trade. a true PRO

great guys. The are fast and do great work for a decent price. I would recommend that you make sure they sand the surface before applying their coatings or bring it in with the prep work already done because they don't do it. Still I have had a great experience with them.

Talk to Peter. He is in his 70s. He has to be the most knowlegable in all engines than anyone i will porbably ever meet in my lifetime. He has had engine experiences with all makes and started rebuilding engines when he was 13 in his home country. He will sit and talk your ear off all day and answer any questions you could ever have. He also is ABOSLUTELY NO BS-ING around. WHen he gives you a price it will be that price and thats that. He will let you know everything thats going on with your cars engine that he has in his hands. I could go on about Peter. He is slower paced than others but he gets the job done right.
