Good Shop in San Diego?

What's up guys? I own a tsx and was wondering if any of you could reccomend a good shop in san diego to install my comptech springs? I really don't want to take it to acura but want a nice reputable shop. Thanks a bunch.

I'd say go to Pann Auto or Group 5. I've had good service with both. But stay away from Engineuity (sp?)... I'm not even going to get into how horrible their business practices are.

NEVER NEVER EVER EVER USE PANN AUTO!!! THEY ARE BUTCHERS!!!

Briancl, area code is 858.

Seriously, ask anyone in SD and they'll tell you to stay away from Pann. Wuzz, sorry man...

I know the Pann guys very well.... Group 5 as well - Group 5 is probably more professional... but didn't Ben change the name to a different company... AEBS I believe.

That's why I recommended them...:P

I have gone there on a few occasions and have been treated very good. If you go there, try and make a point to meet Troy...he is the owner, and a very nice guy as well...

As I said before mention me if you would like to...tell him the guy that came in with the Black Supra TT with the McIntosh system who used to have the Silver CL Type S recommended his shop. He will most likely remember me because he loved my system...and might give you a break...if your lucky...

Anyways, they are very professional and usually get things done in a reasonable amount of time. Just my 2 pennies...

By the way...I have never been to Pann Auto, but I have heard NOTHING but BAD stuff about them. So I tend to stay away from shops like that...
