i just wanted to know if anyone had any bussiness with them?

especailly any installation with them. i am gettting some coilovers installed with them and i just wanted to know how there work is? and what experience you had with them? thanks

 

go to Motorsport Techniques off of Winton ave. They're great!!!!

 

are you serious? that place is a joke. overpriced,rude,and just overall not professional shop. i cant think of a worse shop to go to.

 

i got a homie that works for bmw... he does a clean ass job ... i dont trust motorsport tech...bozz performance....but if you need it done hit me back

 

if you need work done, i'd suggest going to 5150 motorsports in city of industry. how much is gruppe s charging u?

 

does 5150 motorsports have a website?

 

5150 is in SoCal...don't know if you want to make a trip from NoCal for an installation.

 

gruppe-s is a couple minutes from my job!

They do lots of work on Z's. I picked up my suspension kit from them. A buddy of mine had his suspension installed there w/ no issues.

A few people go to Motorsports on Whipple. I heard that a new owner was going to take over. Don't know if that has happened yet.

 

yup, these guys suck. you go in there wanting to get quotes and they act like they got too much business. There shop looks like shit too.

go to Honda/Acura Motorsport on Whipple. I got my springs done there. Coilovers shouldn't be much more. Decent prices and good service. You can ask them for a loaner too. Actually, I remember one of the guys offered me their personal car cuz I had my daughjter w/ me.

 

Motorsport Techniques is a great shop. They do their work well and always treated me well. I have been going to them since 1994. Just last year, they modified a Comptech supercharger from a Accord V6 to fit it onto a 99TL. These guys know what they are doing.

 

Maybe, you just catch them in a bad time. I got a quote over the phone and set an appointment w/ no problem whatsoever. I've been their loyal customer for almost two years now. Yeah! the showroom is little shitty. Other than that, I think the price and service are just fine.

 

my bad, i just realized ur from nor cal. nm....

 

installation should be about 90 bucks.

 

90 bucks to install coilovers,edfc unit? isnt that a bit cheap, even i think thats a bit low. i mean the edfc unit has also of wiring doesnt it?

 

asloudasitgets, koolmonkey999, and BChin324

do you know them personally? perhaps that's the reason quite a few others are complaining about poor customer service.

 

i dont kno about the edfc but i got my springs installed for 90. coilovers would be the same price but i dont know how much the edfc would add.

most shops suck period

 

how long after you get your coilovers get installed do you guys go in for alignment?

also can you reccomened a place to get a alignment? the only place i can think of as of now is the dealer that wants 90 bucks with a coupon.

 

WHEELWORKS i believe is somethin like that..either 60bucks or 90bucks they do it for you up to 3times in a years period.

 

well if they have a good reputation and you/the customer feels confident that their car will be properly taken care of...I don't think $1400 is a rip off.....how many times have people taken cares to shops, for a discounted rate only to get it back with problems, knicks/scratches in paint, or excess miles on the car. if their work and reputation in their area inspires confidence they deserve it...part of what the customer is paying for is piece of mind and convience. also don't compare retial store prices to web prices...it's no big scret that the majority of retial websites support little to no overhead...while a "brick and mortor" retail store have to survive via their mark up.

besides there's little more offensive than when a potential customer tries to grind down the price on labor.....if you don't the installer is worth their wage, why would you bring you car to them in the first place....whats more important, telling you're friends you got a "killer" price or the confidence you willn't need an AAA membership to get you're car home.


ok that last part was a bit of a vent...but I have the privledge of dealing with it almost everyday

this is just my 2 cents, $1400 is a high price, but if you don't want to take the time to find a better and your confident with the shops work...it's a fair price.

oh ya also keep in mind the GOV gets almost $100 of that on sales tax alone...then I'm sure at some point the IRS gets more later


and yes 5150 autosports does have a website....www.5150autosports.com.....but unless you're looking for contact info....there's not much see...hasn't been updated in years
