I've been using E&T Automotive in Round Rock for 15 years. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but they do good work for a great price and are honest.

Try calling Jeremy at Brake Specialists Plus in Pflugerville, his mechanic installed my exhaust system for a good price, and he's a fellow g35 owner in the local centexvq club. 110@brakespecialists.com or 251-7037.

I am in round rock and need to do mine as well
my bushings will be here in a week or so..
my plan was to buy a press and do it myself, if it works out I will let you know and I can do yours if you arent in that big of a hurry

Bobaloo I use a small shop off of North Lamar called 5Auto. Phone number is 512 821-1360. They specialize in modified cars, the owners both have sweet rides. Their work is flawless and their prices are very good. I've had my car over there several times and never left disappointed. Did an alignment for me last week and only charged me $40. Give them a call, ask for Long, and tell them I sent you. (Tim with the blue G sedan, he'll know who I am.)

+1000000 on joining centexvq. We have an awesome local group and would be glad to have you.

Jeremy no longer at brake specialists so I would no longer recommend it.
