I have some issues to work out, and I'm hardly the most mechanically-savvy person out there so I'm looking for a good shop for the more complicated jobs. I live in the Woodlands area, so the further north the better.

Do you guys know any good people out this way?

First things first man... Dont say ur from the Woodlands cause they are going to raise the price on u quickly( dont want to sound mean or anything) ... Just say spring lol believe me it happens.... What all are u looking to get done ? i am pretty sure some people here know of some good places...

Yeah, I don't have that Woodlands money, I live on the east side of the tracks ha.

Assorted things, really. Head gasket maybe, suspension work and alignment, etc.

Anyone have experience with any of these guys?

I live in the Spring/Tomball area and I'm biased, but my choice is PowerFab. Known the guys for 6+ years, great service, and honest. Fantastic fabricators if you ever need any custom parts or welding done. Not sure about their current labor rates.

I have now current knowledge on FIST or Collins, but I know that The Awesome Shop is no longer around. NST has lots of experience with the AE86, but I haven't been there.

Thanks. I sent an inquiry to PowerFab.

Right now my focus on engines. I'm looking at a rebuild of my JDM bluetop.

Anyone have experience with Joey's Engines? http://joeysengines.com/

Saw them in a similar old thread here. I put in an inquiry there too.

For machine work/engine rebuilds, I take everything to G&G Performance in Magnolia. It's a drive, but I think they may pick up or deliver too. Prices may be a little, and I mean little, bit higher than others. BUT, you get what you pay for and G&G is top notch.

I used to take stuff to a local shop not far from PowerFab, but the quality just wasn't the same.

You now have $.04 cents from me. Do what you can with it lol
