I need a good shop in San Diego AREA please! anyone?

Hi,
I am new to the area. I have some rear suspension parts i want installed, don't have tools or time to do myself. I have heard of Don Lee auto, but thats 2 hours away from me. I live in San Diego area now, anything around here?

thanks

I have lower control arm brackets that need to be welded in, i have new Lower control arms and adjustable panhard bar to install as well. Also maybe to get a 4 wheell alignment, as well as weld on some new exhaust tips.

You might want to try Express Muffler and Hitch in Escondido. I think the one in Santee is good to go too. They can do the welding and exhaust tips with no prob. I'm not sure if they will do the LCAs and Panhard rod. Have you thought about doing those yourself? Those are super easy to do if you have the tools...

Yup, Express Muffler is what I'd recommend as well. Clarence Brown in Kearney Mesa can do the alignment for ya...

If you don't have the tools, buy some and have a buddy help you...it's worth it in the end, because the more stuff you do to the car, the more you better be willing to work on it yourself.

i usually do everything to the car myself but, i can't weld nor do i have welding machine. So i figure have someone put the stuff on because they all should be installed at same time anyway.

Does Hanson's Exhaust still exist? They were in Spring Valley about 13 years ago when they did duals on the '57, but I've be away from the area for 10 years now.

Their bumper sticker said, "I was thoroughly exhausted at Hanson's".
