roadhaus.com has only positive reviews for Randy's
I also recommend TDi Jack (he owns the sectioned Syncro with 33" tires)

I just came back from there place for some press work for a syncro suspension. Good bunch of guys. I did ask the other guy in the area, but he was upset about having to cancel appointments in the past, so his competitor got the job. Guess his life is always smooth and without a hitch. 
I would recommend Randy's

Thanks everyone for the feedback.
Randy's quoted rough estimate. I currently have ej22 subaru conversion
1. replace my blown ej22 with frankin ej25 block with ej22 heads and swap over
2. drop fuel tank and re-seal
3. change coolant lines to stainless steel
4. install power steering rack and the lines (currently non power steering)
labor estimate $2000
I think it sounds pretty fair. |

2000$ buys a heck of a lot of tools maybe even a used lift
and there will always be use's for the tools !!!!

yes i know,  i have a lot of tools, but i just don't feel like wrenching. And doing things for the first time always take so much more time.
i would love to have a experienced mechanic come to my house and not pay the shop price. |
