Good shop. I've only used them a handful of times in the last 15 years, but in a business where muffler shops tend to be shady, these guys seem to be legit.

As a car enthusiast and automotive aftermarket professional, I do most of the work on my cars myself, so when I go to a shop, it's rarely a fun experience. Most talk to me like I'm the average idiot. If I push my accolades, they resist harder.

This place has pretty much done exactly as I ask each time I've been there. Today, I went in and asked them to remove the resonator on my 2005 Volvo S60R because it was rubbing against the driveshaft, and instead of raising an eyebrow at me, they threw it up on the lift, took the resonator off and showed me the wear marks from the drive shaft. Repair was quick, legit, inexpensive and no leaks.

You can tell this place is owned by a car enthusiast because there are usually some nice cars parked there. Their mascot is a Ford GT. There was what looked like an old deuce there today and back in the day, one of the guys used to drive a powder blue 1950s Ford truck to work every day. Enthusiasts like working with fellow enthusiasts. When I get my Roush catback for my F150, they will most likely be the ones installing it.
