Good Garages around San Jose, CA?
Any members who know of a good garage that can install after market parts for our 06 TL? We have RonJon's aerokit coming, Tsudo catback, and intake system on the way. Need to get these put in/on and the kit painted, even possibly re-paint the whole car.
Yes i do pmed sent, and for the guys that dont know Import Auto Care off of Lawrence and Reed they're the guys that are painting my car. They do everything i mean everything, if you guys need tires let me know. They charge way less than any private shop.
bye Acura, hello Toyota

No did you contact Winston C directly? Alot of people when we reffer end up going to the shop owner not the tech directly. Please make sure you contact Winston or just PM I have been reffering people here to him for awhile now. I don't use Quang as a contact sorry, I can olnly speak for Winston's work and so can others here on Acurazine. I do know he has a body paint guy though...

hey chris, do you have his number? can you call and ask him how much he'd charge to adjust my valves on a J30A1 (2000 Accord V6)?
also, i'd like to get in touch with his body guy because im still shopping for a better price on some paint work i need done. I need the 5 holes in my truck welded up (from a spoiler), need a deep rash on the corner of my bumper fixed and have the trunk and rear bumper repainted and faded into the rear quarter panel... best price i've gotten so far is $600 for all that and this is from a shop i KNOW will do a good job... ie.. no cracking, blistering, fading, orange peel.... NO BS.

Meesheddie,
Make sure that you either PM directly to setup an appointment. It makes things more oganized rather then calling in directly. That way he has time to write everything out for the quotes given and he is able to keep track. Please PM for anywork that needs to be done Much appreciated guys
Knight,
I sent you a PM with a new pricing. Dealership will charge anywhere between 3-4 hours for labor. Winston used to work for Honda directly, Certified Tech...

Eddie
Winston C. Auto Services
Monterey Auto Tech 1
2017 Monterey Hwy
San Jose, CA 95112
Winston: 408-476-9386
Or Just PM me it makes things more organized...
The reason why i know you went to that shop is because you ended up at the same location as Winston is located but you went to quang. Everyone here on Acurazine that I have reffered went to Winston Auto Services.
He used to work for Honda Directly and most important he is a ASE MASTER CERTIFIED TECH where the other guy is not. Winston knows our car inside and out as well all the other Acura's here CL, TL, MDX, Etc out there. He takes the time to make sure that everything is done correctly.
If you look at all the refferals here such as WDP415, HonU, Myself and others they will tell he is great! I understand it is a recession and you wanted to save $$$ but personally I rather pay more for quality vs quantity for the amount of work being done. Keep in mind these are $30-40k cars
PS: don't take this wrong
Your car looks clean though

wow
Sorry to here that from my expeirence i took my car to another shop for audio work and i had the same problem i was pretty daym mad because that is a safety issue, once again learn the hard way to pay for qaulity or quantity of the work being done you know? always go to someone who really knows our car. When i was at Winston C Auto serivce watching him install my Coils we noticed the same and he took care of it. Later on i pretty much Yelled at the old shop if i had kids or people in my back seat and something happen its over you know?
Its fine who you choose to go to Eddie i don't doubt his work but i can't recommend to trust people's work i don't really know. I know Winston work and I been going to him for years. He is a ASE Master Certifieid Tech and used to work for Honda. Lets just say when you are sick you go to the doctor and guess what? He is a HONDAMD! if you get what i mean and he knows other cars as well ofcourse.
HE can do tuneups, performance, body kits, suspension etc....
Just PM next time we can work something out for anyone here

haha yea Paul at Apex told me he took my car to Quang for some of the work. Man i didn't know. Had i known he was going to outsource it to Quang then would've told him to use Winston. Too late... Not to down Quang or his guys w/e but when i got the ride back, my back seat clips that keep the bottom cushions down were all broken. When they pulled the back seat to install the coilovers, they really "pulled it" without unclipping it first. FAIL.... And lastly, they left the back right passenger's seatbelt stuck behind the seats. Other then that, Paul did great work on the body and paint match was on point. I will be hitting you up soon as now i'll start focusing on some performance mods and will need Winston's expertise in this area.
