Nice! Welcome aboard man.

For real service/maintenance I go to a shop in San Jose.

That person is Winston from Winston Auto Service.

Don't really have a solid shop here in the City I trust yet.

After 3+ years, I finally swooped up the grille I've been wanting. Not as rare as the eyelid I have (only 2 in the states) but still pretty rare. (3 on the mainland, 2 in Hawaii.



Also got a 2nd set of wheels. Not them diamond racing steelies. These are made by Cragar. 15x10 all around. Offsets: 0 up front and -20 in back. Finally got that fat lip! Better pics to come.

Everything as far as I know.

Last time I was there...there was a totally fixed up Porsche on the lift.

But I'm positive he isn't a "one trick" pony.

Relayed email feedback while installing my engine and the most detailed invoices I've ever seen which is something I really appreciate.

Winston is a Honda Certified Technician, but he does work on other cars..

you can shoot him an email for a quote. to me, i believe he's pretty fair with his prices and his quotes are on point.

always let him know that I sent you guys down to see him (Brandon with the black 1st Gen CL)

Really?! I didn't know you saw that Porsche there that many times...maybe it's an expensive decoy! lol

Yeah the text/email updates are a nice touch!
