Shop reccomendations for the Austin Texas area? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Anyone got reccomendations for shops for different jobs? Body work, paint, brakes, tuning, etc.

Just wondering if there are any horror stories or good ones about the shops here so I can be somewhat informed =).

damn man u got more and better shops in Austin then in San Antonio!!
u got Protec on the NW side of town which has that wicked RX-7 that was in Super Street a few months back...has a dyno too.
there is forcedperformance.net too....theres one more up there i cant think of now...soem dude i know from Protec said they were lookin to do a KA-T project..maybe u could be a candidate

Thanks for the info, that will probably be something definitely worth looking into.

hey, I can do just about anything you want to do to your car other than paint and bodywork. Whatever you do, don't go to protech, they suck. I am not going to go into details here on the forum but I personally know of two SR guys that were reamed something aweful by protech. (one of them is still trying to get his problem resolved) If you want more info, e-mail me.

I am only an hour and a half away from Austin, so I can help out with stuff if you need it.

I have hood excellent dealings with BoostLogic they are great and they do custom work on almost anything. Plus Justin Nenni is one of the greatest tuners in the region. He tuned my last AEM powered car and got some staggering numbers out of that little bastahd!
