Another happy customer at Simone performance

Although it was a nice long drive, it was worth every penyy.

My alignment was way out of whack, and Vic and his team did an excellent job on the car.

I recommend him for anything major.

Is it true they charge 130$ for an alignment? I know their service is amazing but that's more expensive then the stealerships.

Most dealers are about $100.
When I had my G done there, I had to stand over their shoulder to get it done as accurate as possible.
I know if I hadn't been there, it would have been to spec but still not all that accurate.

I've seen performance shops that charge $80, and I've seen shops that charge $250 for a 4wheel alignment.
Vic is w/o question the best bang for your buck. (better than the $250 shop)

So I felt a slight alignment off when driving and Vick said to come back and recheck the alignment again. I also finally got my short throw shifter installed. My reaction today not stop smiling all the way back home. I should have gotten this install last year.

Sounds great
Is there any extra shifting force required with the SSK (less leverage)?

I got the the rogue shifter incase anyone ask and I can say that is short and crisp, takes a little more effort to shift and a little rough at first but Vic said that is normal. It will take some time to get use to it but is sooooooo much better.

Once you get used to it, you can shift a LOT faster. I find most of the time is wasted on the throw of shifting.

Yeah it needs to be broken in a bit but overall i am super happy with it. I recommend this shifter then the B&M one. I tried the B&M and is not as nice.

^Just wondering how it went for you.

I'm shopping as well and have heard nothing but good things about these guys. Update us if you've got the time.

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay in responding.....
If you are shopping around, stop right here and no need to research anymore...
Go to these guys....
Victor and Steve are really cool in there....
Very explanatory and detailed with everything.
Steve worked on my car and I think we spoke for about 1 1/2 hrs about my car and he gave very good advice and pointers.

These guys are jokers as well

They won't recommend work if not needed, and treat you like family when you walk through the door.

Dam...i sound like PR for them....
HAHAHAHA

No but seriously, i was very pleased with their work

Not to mention that Steve is a Master Technician for Infiniti, and has worked in multiple Infiniti cars.

And I saw something rare about Vic, he may seems like a nice easy going guy, but he is CONSTANTLY stressed. Why? Because he keeps thinking he's not satisfying his customers enough. I keep seeing him going to Luis and Steve just to check that they're doing everything top notch.
