I will place my 2 cents if there are any one in North County that is looking for a shop.

Speak to Gavin and tell the the "CO" sent you
History:
I had my diff blow and they had no problems working with me to get things resolved. Waited for me to get my 4.77 in the mail and also satisfied every request I had. Also did my 90K serivce and valve adjustment.
Gavin is a current member on here and always gives his professional opinion. He is also a S2k owner ( of course), so he knows the S very well. Mark (JDMQuip) can voucher this shop because I recommended him to get his gears done with them and he has not yet had a problem and hasnt sold the Diff yet

Histroy: I had my civic repainted, S2000 repainted and also my Wife's rear bumper repaired and painted. So as you can see I do respect their business. They are very cooppertive and satisfied any request I had. There prices are competitive so if you need a good deal for a good job. That is where I went. I guess you can be the judge and see my civic and S, make your own judgement.

History: When I lowered my S. I looked for a place to do it of course. I came to relize that most places do not accept business for cars that are lowered or "dumpped" They use a ramp to go on and it is done electronically.
As for Alignment Plus, they do all there alignments manually. Yes with actual alignment tools. Also they do not have a ramp. You just drive into their garage and they service the car by going down a level, like how jiffy lube has their setup. They did the UK specs I have requested without question and I am still riding on the same tires that I bought a year and half ago.

Alignment Plus...I don't know if I trust shops who don't use an alignment machine. I had my Integra aligned at Beeline who also does alignments using manual tools and it was all out of whack. Took it to John's Foreign (Miramar) to have it realigned and it ran straight.

Tried to go to an alignment machine at a couple places. They rejected my business for insurance purposes. I trust alignment plus I dont know about other non-alignment machine shops.

Bumper Doc does really good work. They have great customer service and you can watch them work on your car through the window. From what i saw the tech actually cared about getting the panel to perfection.Also, got my top back from Metrix yesterday and i could not be happier with the work and paint match. Awesome work.
