Need a place to install in the New York City Area

i'm looking for a good (cheap) and good quality place/shop where i could install my comptech sways that i got yesterday and SS brake lines....
i called the Acura dealer near my house and they said that they will do the installs for me, but there's no guarentee if the install fails or if there's damage done to the parts...they don't take any responsibility....
IMO, that's like having me install those parts...and me not knowing anything about installs...
so i'm looking for another place to do these installs...
anyone kno of a shop to go to in the new york city area??
say in Long Island or Queens...

Thanks in advance!!

I would go to Park Avenue Acura. The are in NJ... but not too far in. They're only 45 min. from me, and since you're further south it should be closer for you. They are a dealer and they will warranty their work (as any dealer who does an install should). Just an idea

gohan,
Since you live out on LI, try Mike @ Ultima Performance in Lynbrook. They did the work on my car. www.ultimaperformance.com
Go to the website for the address and phone number.

Just my opinion, I wouldn't trust any of the labor done at the shops on Queens Blvd. My friend had some things installed from them a little while back and their work is ghetto at best. Very sloppy work. There may be a few higher performance shops on Queens Blvd that do good work, but places like Rayco and Big Boys Toys I personally would not go to. Just my $.02

ah damn...if i only saw this replay sooner...
i brought my car in today to Redline this morning to install the parts...dunno if they'll do a good job...anyone heard of them b4??
they're located in Corona, Queens

Lynbrook would have been far better, since it was the next town down from my house....*sigh*
next time i'll kno....
but thx to all that replied....

30 bucks!?!?!....
they told me the labor was $60/hr...hope it'll take them half an hr...but they told me an approx. of 1 hr...
i think i should tell them this...that they're raping me if they charge anything more than 30 bucks for the sways when i go pick up my car tonite
