Who uses ZCG?

Just wondering how many of you guys actually go to ZCarGarage for maintenance and upgrades? I know a few guys from my350z do but doesn't seem like many Gs go there.

ZCG has done all the upgrades to my 07. Infiniti is replacing my engine this week cuz of high oil consumption. After the 1k mile break in period. ZCG is installing my Vortech V-3 SC, CAI, Stillen header and new front end. Rob, Vince, Fred and Forbes are true perfectionists and really dedicated to the performance of the 'Z' and 'G'...
There are other 'Tuners' out there but I only trust my 'G' to the experts.

Great to hear. My car is also in there right now to get my new headers and cams install. Then afterward a retune on my Osiris. I'm also planning on putting the vortech on there. What did you decide as far as vortech parts?

I think they are pricey for labor as well, but it seems like they know what they are doing. They also warranty their Vortech install/tune, which gives me a cozy feeling. Who did the Vortech install for you?

ZCG is a Vortech upper tier installer. Only upper tier shops can offer the Vortech warranty.

Rob has always been so busy, which is good for him, but bad for me. He was my choice for a Vortech install some 2 years ago. I visited the shop twice and liked what I saw. However, he never returned any of my numerous calls.

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, they are super busy. So far my car has been in the shop for 1.5week for headers, cams and tune. I'm patient and have another car so it's no big deal.

I was talking to Rob today and he told me he has done over 100 installs for the SC on the VQ platform ever since the shop opened. I was surprised to hear that the number was so high. I guess this must be the reason he can offer the warranty.

Did you end up installing one? If so, where at?

No, I didn't have the Vortech installed at the time. Shortly after that, I decided to pursue my engine oil consumption issues. Eventually, a new engine was installed. It's been running sweet for the past year. Now, I am revisiting the Vortech.

I went to Z car Garage for them to install some breather mods(MREV2+ 5/16 spacer and z-tube) early december morning last year. I just don't trust myself nor any local shops here where I live(Vallejo) to install simple mods.
And besides, I wanted to check them out as well.

Everyone there is not only cool and courteous, but very very knowledgeable and their work is legit 100%. Service is excellent and definately don't charge you high, when it comes to labor.

All in all, I will be honest...........Rob Fuller is a great guy and it was worth driving from Vallejo to San Jose just to do a 1-2 hour job on my car.

I highly recommend them for any service.

zcg is legit. over priced. overly worth it if you dont want to do it yourself.

anotherg35 took his TT g35 and now his vspec R33 there with no complaints.

PM him.

I went there after the dealer jacked us around to get second opinions.

They did the 60k service and it was less than the dealer. Brought it back for a few other things since the customer service was so good.

Any upgrades will be done there for sure. Rob and company were awesome.

I've had multiple installs done at Z Car Garage (sway bars, front strut tower bar, exhaust, underbody bracing, etc.), and have been impressed by their thoroughness and friendliness. The only issue I've had is a couple scheduling complications due to, as noted above, their busyness.

I haven't had any engine mods done, so can't give you feedback on that.
