Actually just picked my car up from there yesterday. First time trying them. Ian seems like a good guy. I'll probably be heading back for a supercharger in a couple weeks.

Only downside is they are busy and electronic communication is lacking a bit, but no worse than any other shop around in that regard. Best bet is to just call the shop.

I've spoken to Ian over the phone, he does seem like a really nice and knowledgeable guy. Thanks for the input!

+1 Ian is a very knowledgeable guy. Highly recommended.

Ian is good, and veeery good pricing relative to the other local shops.

He did my rod bearings- everything turned out great. Definitely recommend.

astris · 09-03-2020, 03:14 PM

Heading back to IS for an ESS G1 install in couple weeks. Can't wait.

He did my rod bearings at what seemed like a very fair price considering I have a harrop kit on, he had a custom bracket already to hoist the motor without interference. I recommended my buddy there for a top end rebuild as well.

He did my rod bearings and engine mounts. Solid guy, in demand and sometimes hard to get a hold of but he's legit and knows what he's doing. Former BMW Master Tech I believe.

I went recently. Nice friendly guy and good rates. Seems very knowledgeable

Haven't done anything major though with them. Only one time in.

rod bearing he does only myself if gives you piece mind if your interested in bearing replacement. There is thread that was shared which is how I heard of the shop too. Shop Moved to renton area.
