Speedtech
Okay I don't wanna ***** or nuthin' but I feel this warrants endorsment from me.
Speedtech seems like a really good shop
I'm in the process of getting parts from them and this is the FIRST shop I've been to where they didn't give me attitiude.
They didn't talk down to me like I was an idiot, if I had questions they were patient and happy to answer them, I really really like those guys there, not snobby at all. And it wasn't just me they were nice to, while I was there, tonnes of people came in, some were idiots, but they were really nice to them too.
I actually feel good about my money going to them, as opposed to other shops. I buy from other shops and I can't stand the idea that my money is going to them (JRP)
Even if I wasn't getting a discount there I still think I'd buy from them. (Shhh, don't tell speedtech)
Guess it explains why it's so busy there, been to other shops and it's DEAD. Probably because the people in the store are such jerks.
Moral: it pays to be NICE to people.

Yes Sherman is the best. Great guy and can get you almost anything (car related 
) when you need it. Plus great prices for members too 
I USED to get stuff from JRP and I know how they can be jerks. I will ONLY go to them if no one else has what I want in stock.

Speedtech guys are great imo..
i didn't have to flash a single dollar to get their insight into what i wanted to do to my car..
they told me my options on which direction i wanted to head..
spent a ton of time with me discussing things..
they'll have my business!!

Cheapo, I'd rather go Honda Indy V8. Would you guys be able to swap it with my B16?
HAhaha, just playing around. If I came by would you let me into the shop to watch you guys do a swap?
And if I popped in today around 5 would anything be worth seeing?
