Local Speedshops/Mechanics

I'm looking for a decent well priced speed shop in the Burnaby/Vancouver area, don't mind driving a bit either. Just want someone who REALLY knows their LT1's and won't rip me off...

If you need cages done check out my buddy Shane at SNKs Race-It (604)274-5825. Irocz383 can vouch for his cages etc.

Thanks for the offers, i'm going to take my car one last time to my mechanic and have him scan the car and find out why she's stumbling.... then i'll head off to you guys next if his diagnosis is a guess or not

Also, if i ever have a problem with the car i really need a fast response as its my only transportation, and i live on my own, which is why i'm looking for a mechanic/shop locally...

Oh no don't worry. this mech isnt charging me anything and i'll be there beside him the whole time, hes actually a good friend. I'll getcha some beer anyhow if you lend out your time like that

If i' had the choice id never let a mechanic touch the car either... but sometimes when ya gotta get under or inside the car its a pain in the *** to do it outside your apartment... on a hill...
