Mute your speakers if you're at work. There's some pretty awful techno that starts automatically.

There's also SGP, but they had some pretty serious issues over on my350z with a member from near me.

Yep--Carboy in Houston does great work. They did a bunch of stuff for me when I had my RSX a while back.

I had a bad run in with Engine Logics. My friend had an overheating problem with an early 90's Eclipse. I told him to take it to Engine Logics as Brad had done awesome work on my 240sx; so, they changed out the water pump. OH YEAH! DID YOU KNOW WATER GOES IN A WATER PUMP?! So, after the drive home there was nothing left of that motor and the water pump wasn't even the problem... it was a cracked radiator.

Just my minor input. I am not biased against Engine Logics, like i said they had done some awesome work for me previously.

So they left the coolant system dry after the water pump swap? Ouch.

Although, even at the best shops mistakes happen sometimes. I'm curious what the resolution for that was (if that's public). Did they put a new motor in for him?

In a short version, they did not feel it was their fault as the car was towed to their shop without any coolant in the motor. Therefore, they were to return it in the same manner (Yeah i know... stupid). But it was truely the fact that they didn't even fix the correct part that got me. I told him to take them to court, but he didnt want to (who knows?) and it wasn't my place to force an opinion on him.

He ended up selling the car to a mechanic at Lucky's auto in SW Houston for a decent price and buying a '87 Supra.

I guess things worked out, i mean Supra > Eclipse
