Where are you folks getting service in the Detroit area?

Is one dealer noticeably better than the others?

If I don't do it myself I go to Kenny's Lakes Area Auto Experts in Walled Lake. Last time I needed a dealer I went to **** Scott. I like their service folks but sales didn't treat me very well when I was looking for my 370Z.

The tech that seems to have the best reputation in the club is at LaFontaine now. He's done a couple engines and other fun stuff.

Cool. Thanks for the info. :tup:

What about getting mods done? Like, say, having a LSD installed? Where do folks go for that? Pure Tuning down in Toledo?

Kenny did the NISMO diff for my race car. Well... they did the difficult part swapping the old LSD out and the new into the pumpkin. They did my 370Z shocks and rear camber arms the first time too because I was too busy.

They don't do tuning... for that I would go to Z1 or Forged in Atlanta or Dynosty in Louisville, KY.

Had my Z tuned by Aaron at Pure. While not a shop that specializes in Z's, I feel they got me a good solid tune that at worst is only be marginally less than if I had taken the car to a shop that specializes in Z cars.

That is good to know. I would love to get my 370 tuned... the more I drive the 350Z the more I hate the throttle in the 370.

Nice to see some other Detroiters with Z cars, we're definitely in the minority around here, but that's one of the many things I love about the Z. Turns a lot of heads because it's good looking and very rare around here!

I'll try to meet up with you guys at Buddy's on of these months.

I just got my car this spring and am coming up on my 15,000 mile service. I was thinking LaFontaine or Dic.k Scott. Anybody have a recommendation for best service around Detroit dealers? Thanks!

I don't know the tech's name at Lafontaine that Lee is referring to, but my brother had a 2012 GT-R and was referred to a tech at D**K Scott who seemed very knowledgeable.. looks like it's now Nissan of Canton? If I can get his name I'll post it ;)

Dave B. He went to La Fontaine last I heard. :P He used to be the only master GTR tech in the area IIRC.
