Does anyone in the Bay Area know of a GOOD mechanic that have had experience with the VR4 that dont charge cut throat rates?

I might need to install a long block in soon. Just a straight job of taking the old engine out and putting hte new one in.

Maybe 120K tuneup.

I'll supply all the parts, just need labor done.

Please recomend and post your experience/relationship with this shop/mechanic.

THanks!

i was just going to ask the same thing, i was wondering if anyone knew someone up here that can do the 60k for less than the dealer or something comprable and that doesnt dick you around like them

Brainfood is good. I recommend him. He knows more about these cars than the dealer and is cheaper. He's building my car for me.

I'll drive a few hours up north to see brainfood when I need a major tuneup. The mobile mechanic I used to have retired.

Yah, Brainfood is also at the top of my list. I have alreadi emailed him and gotten his replied.

Others on my consideration list is Dezeni Racing recommended by paul Chohan. And another shop I forgot the name to in Sunnyvale on Evelyne.

There's a guy in monterey, his name is Allan Mayland, he works at Sand City Seaside Mitsubishi, and he does side jobs for hella cheap. I got my 60k done for around 300, plus parts, I bought all the parts online for around 200 so 500 total. Very very good guy, and you get to help and learn about your car. My last clutch job from him was 250 bucks. Trust me you won't be dissapointed.

I would have done it for cheaper than that, but you dont have to drive

You can help me do my Tranny Swap and Quaife install.

 

[xXxHaVoKxXx]

Im in Vacaville, how much would it be for a 60k and how much time does it take. the dealership said they'd do it for like 900 and it would take a couple days.....they also called my car an eclipse twice so i dont think i like them much

 

[NeoValentine]

Took Allan and I 6 hours.

Brainfood--you wouldn't like to become my new mechanic would you? basic maintenance, mods (I have an exhaust cutout sitting right in front of me). My current mechanic is a real asshole and until my car, has had no real experience with a 3000GT, much less a VR4. Plus we live pretty damn close, so it'd be an easy drive for me.


either reply here or shoot me a pm. thanks

 

[brainfood]

anyone that needs work done email me so we can talk about it

ron I can install the quaife but I am up here and your car probably isnt running

odin I would love to but I have a shop I would recomend for the cutout instead of doing it myself since I have no lift and no welder.

xXxHaVoKxXx, yeah I can do it email me with all you want done it will only take a day to do not sure if yours is dohc? sohc? turbo?

let me know I have a lot of work lined up right now a couple engine rebuilds and a built motor for someone, so I am probably about a month out

thx
