I just took all the control arm/ compression rods and had a machine shop press them in for $15 dollars a bushing.

Every bushing in the suspension that has an aftermarket replacement. I don't have the accommodations at my house to rip the entire suspension apart, and there are no machine shops where I'm at. Thats why I plan to have a shop do everything.

This was supposed to be a directory of shops we recommend because of quality work and price! Can we get back to this being our Automotive Shop Directory?
Bought a new KurumaZ bumper, the original was on SLICK for almost 5 years and needed replacing. Where to get painted? I paid twice to have the first one painted at $500 each and the shop in Valencia didn't do a good job. For a lot less I discovered a great body shop in San Fernando!

Just can't say enough about R&J's. Had a big dent near the left rear wheel base that needed repair and repainting. Brought the car in on Tuesday night and was told by Jessie that it probably wouldn't be finished till next Monday or Tuesday because of the busy schedule. Got a surprise call last night saying that the car was finished and ready to pick up. I couldn't find a ride down to carson from ucla on such late notice so Jessie offered to come pick me up and take me to the shop so I'd be able to drive the car home last night. Job was flawless and some of the scratches I had around the car were also buffed out as a bonus. Would definitely recommend!

I'm gonna shout my buddy on here for you guys.

Place: Glendale Mobil
Person: Arthur K.
Address: 1028 S. Brand Blvd.
Phone: 818-244-0151
Price: Depends on what you want, but reasonable

ASE certified and extremely knowledgeable. Arthur is a Mitsu man (Owns the sexiest Starion in LA), but he smogs and repairs for ALL of the dealers on Brand. He can do suspension mods, engine swaps, alignments (in house but different co.) smog, general repair and so on. Also, if it is something he doesn't do he does know pretty much everyone and has connections who are also reasonable. I would recommend this guy to anyone anytime anywhere!
