So.....My car now runs like a bat out of hell! Renee worked on my car and was a very cool dude. Along with the Walnut shell blasting, we ended up changing the spark plugs. The plug in cylinder 1 was fried. Literally charred to a crisp. Don't know why. I had my usual mechanic clean the injectors, this might have been the culprit as he isn't a mini specialist. Anyways, they ran to pick up some jcw plugs from the dealership at like 4:45 and i was out of there about 6:30 after everything was all said and done.

I'll definitely be giving these guys my business in the future and I recommend anyone in the area who needs a good shop to definitely try these guys out.

Thanks again Ra for the recommendation.

Glad they addressed your motoring woes.

Yeah, they definitely aren't just a shop I try to recommend for the hell of it. They've always treated me and everyone else that I turn their way with the utmost professionalism and desire to get to know not only your car, but the customer as well.

No, but if you need an alignment, I would recommend West-End alignment in Torrance OR if you're closer to Anaheim area, EAS. EAS did my most recent alignment and they did a great job.

That's good to know thanks!
Does LTMW paint new bumper goodies?
(I just received my new JCW Aero 2 kit :-))

Thanks for the recommendation Ra! I'll have to check them out. Know any good tire places in the sgv area? I'm looking to replace my runflats.

LT also does tires, mount and balance.

But sometimes I'm in a rush for tires so I go to Tire Central in San Gabriel.

They work together so you can't really go wrong either way.

Good to know. I've been to Tire Central and they gave a pretty good quote on a set of Yoko Avid Envigors. Still shopping for the best price. Thanks!

25k is still premature, look into getting this done around 40-50k. I'm nearing 60k -_-
