depends what oil/filter you want them to use...

Give Henry & John a call 626-287-6417 - let them know you're a forum member and you saw several people refer them... they will take care of you.

Might be a dumb question, but they handle lowered/kitted cars without a problem, right?

^ Yep. When I was there awhile back I had a dumpt S2000 behind me waiting for an alignment and he was a repeat customer.


Just give Henry a call and he can reassure you himself.

Sorry guys but is this place a body shop or just a alignment/part install place?

Looking into getting my car checked out. After an accident my passenger front side squeaks & power steering is acting up (meaning it has a leak or something,since it gets stiff at a stop & go)

Henry is not a body shop. However hit up Autoexplosion to get it checked out.

Good dudes

Recently I noticed faint (but distinct) click/tick when moving into gear (reverse or drive) from park... It sounded like "rear axle click" but since that's typically been a coup thing, I've never paid a lot of attention to the symptoms or fix (there is a TSB btw).

Anyway, I mentioned to John at Temple City Auto and he was pretty sure it was the infamous "Rear Axle Click"... pulled the axle, lubed outer shaft with grease reinstall and sure enough, click is gone.

So in case you end up hearing the click - yes, in fact AT Sedans get it to.

Went by the shop for an alignment recently and couldn't have been more pleased with the service. Henry spent a lot of time on my car and his rates were more than reasonable.

its pretty distinct when its the rear axle... give 'em a call for price - I did a few other ancillary things so I dont know how much they will charge for the axle click alone...give them a call & let John or Henry know you're from the forum - they will take care of you.
