DIY - but without the yourself

Hello fellow G's

New to the G community and I need some help. I am currently lacking the tools (lifts and such), time (3 kids ) and the space (about to move to a new house) to add a lot of the mods I have picked out for my G37. Does anyone know of shops that are paid by the hour to install your mods for you or shops that are reputable in the northern New Jersey area that you trust to work on your G.

Appreciate the help.

Man, I had to read your entire post to learn you're in Jersey. I was fixin' to recommend a shop here in Houston. Why don't you go to your profile and add your location info. It helps others in helping you. And welcome to the forums.

Where in North NJ are you? I'm in union county, Linden which is considered North. Shoot me a PM maybe I'll be able to recommend someone, cheaper than a shop and guy knows what he's doing, he's been doing some stuff on my car from time to time like suspension and exhaust and what not and has a ~700whp G35 coupe himself.

Hey welcome, If you know anyone in the military most bases have a hobby shop where they charge only 5 dollars per hour and have all the tools you will need as well as knowledge of cars. This of course is If you ever have time to do it yourself. I'm in central jersey and go to Navy Base where I work at. That can possibly solve the lift/tools problem.

Naval Weapon Station Earle. It's in Colts Neck, NJ. It's open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from my experience. I would assume it's also open on Saturday but I would find it first.

To the OP, see if you can find someone either from this site or maybe the 370z site who's near by. They may be able to offer a helping hand/garage to assist with diy type projects.

Talk to John and tell him Kenny sent you and he'll give you the best price guaranteed on anything you want. He works on G's and other high end supercars AL THE TIME! Best in the tri-state 100%!
