Didn't you used to live in Wichita? I swear to god I've seen someone who fits you and your car description living at some apartments off Rock. I think he was in Air Force ABUs.
Tell me that's not a coincidence

I'm asking around, I know there's a good one one of my customers uses and he absolutely loves them. He's taken 6 cars there already. When he texts me back I'll post it here.

I do NOT recommend any schofield dealer. They have on multiple occasions tried to rip me off ontop of their work ethic being garbage.

I had fusion auto works on S. Illinois street do timing belt and water pump on my CL about a year and half ago. Got my oem parts from Hansel (one of our acurazine vendors) No problems to date, and will have them do my wifes TL next year. Its a race shop, but they had no problem working on my stocker. I believe the owners name is Ray, (not sure on this). Just go down and talk to them.

The owner of Flipside Audio and Securty's brother in law did mine earlier this year. He's a mechanic & does work on the side. I ordered the parts on my own and he did the labor. I wanna say he only charged me 200 but I could be wrong. Did solid work and no problems to report, and I'm anal about other people working on my stuff. You can look up flipside audio on facebook, his name is Kristian.

I plan on dropping my car soon and might need to roll the fenders so my tires/rims doesn't rub on the fender. Basically just rolling up the inner lip of the fender. Just looking for a shop that actually has the tool to do the job.

i might be a little more active on here now that I'm "back" in the scene. Just picked up my 3rd tsx. Grigio metallic 09 base, lowered on tein s-techs, 18" axis wheels. Any luck on finding someone to get the fenders rolled? My future plan is to run 19's flush fit and mild stretch, and Lower in the rear another inch.

Relatively new shop in town. Luxury import specialist (not sure if this is exact name) 45th N and Rock. A couple of guys that used to work for schofield (Dana and Tom) I just had them do t-Belt and water pump on my wifes '08 TL (yesterday). They used an Aisin kit (same as oem). Very professional. They ran a special last fall for $875+ Tax (T-Belt, Both internal tensioners, Water pump, Plugs and external serpantine belt). They still honored the mailer they sent out. I also had them do a few extra things while they had the car. (Brake fluid flush, cabin filter, complete coolant flush, and sepantine belt tensioner) Very impressed.
