Recommended shops for modded cars in the seattle area?

Rassilon · 11-23-2021, 10:32 PM

I would recommend https://kd-automotive.com/ Kevin is a PRO3 racer and preps a lot of PRO3 cars (https://www.facebook.com/KDMotorsportsBellevue/) locally.

G2 once charged me $150 for removing a little oil when the electronic oil level indicator showed the car being overfilled.

Doc,
How was South Lake European?

Just got the car back yesterday from them. So far so good, everything looks right. There was a minor hickup with one of the things I had done, but it was easy to rectify.

We can service your S65. We just finished a couple rod bearing jobs last week on a few locals. We're currently doing a few S55 crank hubs right now but our schedule is pretty open during the winter hoidays. If you want to give us a ring mid day next week, feel free! Ask for Ivan.

How much you charging for rod bearing? Can dm me.
Can we supply the parts? Your not using other guy shop that did all the mods on your cars? That owns the Supra

Yes, Ivan is the one who is doing everything. If need be, I can still DM you. And, you can certainly supply your own bearings.

Mimmer · 11-27-2021, 03:09 AM

All good thanks ! I hit him up.

Hey Sean,

Do you do any body work such as installing the Hanbin carbon fiber fender vents you sell?

Hey there, we don't do any body work in house, unfortunately. As much as I'd love to offer or see that sort of crafted work come out of my hands, it isn't something I'd be able to offer. That said, there are plenty capable shops that should be able to do it in your area. We should have also provided a stencil that will give the outline to help quite a bit.

I just got my rod bearings done at 22RPD in Renton. Great service. Picked the car up yesterday. Very knowledgeable guys who only seem to work on BMW's - have a dyno on site too, in case you need it. While replacing the bearings and bolts, and doing the engine mounts, they also checked out everything else to make sure the car was otherwise OK. Mine is a 2008 E90, with 48k on it.

I spoke to Ian at IS and he recommended these guys as well. Glad to hear you had a good experience with them!

Figures. 🙄

Will probably hit up Prova for maintenance then check with 22rpd for the next build.

+1 for 22RPD. Good quality work and they know what they're doing
