San Diego,Ca

I am looking for someone out there that lives in the San Diego area that may know of a good installation shop in the area. I tried connecting with the shop that Intense recommended and never received a reply back from them. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Right now I am just looking for a shop that is reputable. I am still deployed for another month or so untill then I will not know exactly what I want done. Since I am in the military and do not have my tools out here everything I have done to my car I will have installed. I'm thinking of starting with suspension and then working toward the Intense Stage 3 kit. I would like to preferably stay with the same shop for everything I have done. I am looking at KYB and the Eibach kit from wbodystore.com for the suspension. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Here's some performance places I've heard many good recommendations about:

For suspension/wheel/tire:
Prestons Tire and Wheel - Main - Tires & Wheels, San Diego, El Cajon, La Mesa, Coronado, Chula Vista

For everything else (including exhaust and dyno tuning):
JBA Racing Online

Both are quite pricey IMO, though; and I've never used them personally, just gotten quotes and heard good things.

-------------

For basic engine machine work at a somewhat reasonable cost, I've heard this place highly recommended:
Wholesale Automotive Machine, San Diego, CA 92120

-------------

If you just need an honest mechanic, I use this place for whatever I can't do myself (I highly recommend this shop to friends and coworkers):
San Carlos Auto Service

I also know a chain exhaust shop willing do, ahem, "custom work" off-the-books for great pricing, but you'd have to PM me for that info.
