Independent shop recommendation

Sorry to change the tone of this thread after the accident that was just posted...

But does anybody have recommendations for a good independent shop in the Houston/surrounding area that works on Honda/Acura?

I need to do my 105k service, minus timing belt (was already done). I usually just have dealers work on my cars, but my CL is a daily driver I picked up well used so I'm not concerned about preserving value.

i'll help out. make sure to spray some pb blaster on the toe and camber bolts sometime this week. One of my friends had to torch my passenger side camber bolt to get it out. Make sure to bring a mallet or double check with justin to see if he has a mallet.

Nope... I've been trying to sell my OEM cat back for 2 years now. I had ATLP Quads + TL-S rear A Spec lip, then sold cause I found a full TL-S OEM cat back. I've been rocking the TL-S quads forever. My OEM has no more than 30K on it. Someone should buy it asap cause its awesome.

You can go to Southwest Auto Center off of 59 between bissonnet and beltway 8. They do great work and good price too.

Yep. I knew that axle was going bad for awhile. Replaced with OEM from Tim at Curry. Had the clicks on slow full turns. Over time the outer CV joint got overly worn, sloppy/loose causing the vibration during acceleration. Sucks, but no big deal.

I had a lil vibration on acceleration a lil while ago but then when i took out my 8mm spacers it stopped. Im still keeping an eye out on my axles tho but then again i gotta replace my lower ball joint on the passenger side cuz i just saw the boot is ripped (still has grease in it tho)
