Default Las Vegas shop suggestions

Any suggestions on a shop that knows what they are doing in the Las Vegas area? I have a set of HKS coilovers to be installed, along with SPL front upper control arms, and rear camber and traction arms. On top of that install a new set of tires, and an alignment to finish it off.

I recently drove it to Chatsworth, CA (Los Angeles) to SpecialtyZ to get a bunch of other work and a tune done. Don't want to drive it that far for this work.

Not impressed with this shop. Finding a good shop in the LV area is pretty much impossible.

PGR installed a set of HKS coilovers along with Voodoo 13 adjustable upper A-arms on my 370Z. There was a ton of noise coming from the front left, and they said it would probably just diminish after awhile. I found that they INSTALLED THE ARMS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDES (backwards), even though there is an R and L inscribed into the aluminum on each arm. Now it's two days and the fix isn't done yet.

Sounds the unenviable position of having a newbie do the work on your car. I've had my buddy at Discount Tire install my tires backwards (outside sidewall was on the wrong side of the wheel). Turns out he was just busy af and had someone help him out. Shìt happens.

Sorry to hear that dude! I sucks that was your experience with them with them. I am sure they will make it right. Pretty much all small shops are struggling to find decent help and wait time is a real thing. Ask me how I know! Also as Jar said, I have stuff like that happen at the best of shops. We think mechanics, techs and doctors should never make a mistake and the do from time to time.

As long as mistakes are few and far between I agree, it’s how a shop handles the Fvck up that really tells you what kind of place/people you’re dealing with.

I'm happy to report PGR took care of the issue and swapped the adjustable upper A-arms to the correct sides and made it right. No more racket coming from the front left. I asked Voodoo 13 if damage could have occurred from using them on the opposite sides, and they said it was unlikely, but they obviously had never done any testing of the arms installed on the wrong sides. Thankfully everything seems good now, and PGR made good on the error. People are not robots and mistakes happen.

Right on! It is really good to hear that everything worked out the way you wanted and you can run your Z without any worries!
