100 an hour is about average in our area. we are neighbors with hawthorne nissan so we just try to stay cheaper then our competition. also there are 20 dealerships in a five mile radius so we stay less then them but more then your average shop..come in or call one day we are flexible especially this time of year when it gets slow.

Does anyone know of a good shop near Piscataway, NJ (close to New Brunswick) to get a set of tires mounted?

My buddy owns a shop in Sayerville called Champion Autosport. Great guys with a real chill environment. If you decide to go, tell them your friends with Benny from 370z forums, and he'll hook you up.

sounds good. So what's the local shop of choice to get some tuning done

BC416 · 02-19-2015, 09:03 AM

Any one have any recommendations for a spot to get the Z tinted AND possibly have my rear bumper touched up? Would be nice to find somewhere I can get both done at the same time.

Go to my buddy's shop in Sayreville! champion autosport! I'm getting my roof wrapped and windows tinted there next week most likely. If you go, tell them your friends with Benny from 370Z forums and he'll hook you up

I was wanting to get my windows done for the longest time and finally made the appointment yesterday and they took me in today! Went to a place out in Feasterville PA called Shades of Grey Tint. You can google them and get directions. Heard they do excellent work through these forums ( AK370Z got his done thru there a few years back that he posted about and he was very satisfied... that was good enough for me ).

When I went there today, they had a Lexus and BMW already in the shop getting tinted. Took me in right away and was done a little over an hour. They were telling me they do like 5000 tints each year... they had like 4-5 people who were working on my car... couldn't ask for better service. Guys were great to talk to as well. Very happy with the results so far. Very affordable and best of all they offer a lifetime warranty on the install for defects or installation issues. Check em out when you have a chance. Catch you at one of the meets I'm sure... Good luck!

Little over an hour away, not bad.

Do you know if they are able to do minor body work? I have some scratches and a nice chip on my rear bumper I'd like to get taken care of.

Their core business is being a tint shop. I don't think they do any minor body work. Their website says that they also apply paint protection using a clear film but your paint has to be in good shape to begin with. Call em, find out. Perhaps they can recommend someone close by them.

UPDATE ON THE TINT SERVICE: 3 days in...so far, so good. Keeping the car exposed to the sunlight during the day to cure and inside the [heated] garage at night. I was expecting to see bubbles that they said would dry up in a few days and for the life of me I can't find 1 freakin bubble anywhere... they did a quality job. I'll see if I can take some photo's tomorrow if it's nice out and post up some pix on the Tint forums here.
