Good Shop in Dallas to install Mods on my G37?

Het guys. I know Jotech in Garland is good, btu they don't sell half of the products I am looking at (exhausts and intakes). For tuning, I would totally trust them because Kenny Tran knows his stuff, but I think they are more a high dollar shop.

I know the owner of 21st century Muscle Cars, but they do a lot of Corvette stuff.

Any good place that installs intake, exhaust, other things that KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING, and are price reasonably?

I have a 2009 G37 Sedan that I got 2 months ago. Looking at an intake,exhaust, getting my sway installed (in garage last 2 weeks).

I appreciate it.

Well you get what you pay for right? I always take my car to autoscope because they will always take good care of you. If you take your car out of their garage and something goes bad they will take care of it on the spot. Unlike other shops who say once you drive your car off their lot all the responsibilities are off their hands.

To give you an idea about autoscope, just imagine seeing Aston's, Bentley, Lambo's, Ferrari's, Merc's all in their shop at once getting worked on. Our G's are like chump change to them.

They charge me about $150. Kind of a lot but they do corner balancing and make sure everything is in spec before they send it out. Plus on top of that they offer 5 days warranty. So if the specs off out of alignment again you can bring it back and if they see it was a normal issue not caused by you, they will fix it free of charge.

Yeah but like I said you get what you paid for. Other places don't offer corner balancing and they don't offer standard 5 day warranty on their alignments.

Whatever you do stay away from Jotech . They messed up my intake and suspension install big time. They also messed up a simple brake install on a friend's G.

If you're looking for a great place I'd recommend Texas Track Works in Ft. Worth. It's a little far but they at least have certified techs(one of the new guys just transferred from Sewell Infiniti) plus they do great work. Oh yea, their prices are reasonable too.

There are a few good NTB's out there that has the ingroung alignment. There was a Firestone I went to in Crowley that I had lifetime alignment at. The guy there did a great job, very friendly as well. I went there every 6 months, or when I had messed with my suspension. They did not question me once. The only shop I know of is Scarab Performance who works on Nissan/Infiniti's quite often.

And @ corner balancing. Are you going to be full all out tracking your vehicle? All you need to worry about in an alignment is getting all the specs as close to factory as possible so you could get the most out of your tires and for your car to drive straight..

Not all true. Corner balancing will improve your handling on the car on local roads too. You don't want your car go start sliding at like 20 mph at a car for example. I always get mine corner balanced because not only did I feel a difference, it made my car handle a little better. Not as heavy as stock specs.

Oh I went to the NTB in Burleson next to the Walmart when I use to live out there. Said I needed a camber kit when I already had one. I laughed and never went again.

I guess it's a hit or miss with NTB/Firestone. If anyone wants I can call the Firestone I normally went to because I will most likely be going back there again for another lifetime alignment. I'll check to see if the same guy who worked on my car works there.

For NTB I've heard the one in Frisco off Preston is pretty good. Grapevine & Arlington one sucks.

Has anybody gone to any one of the three Infiniti dealerships in DFW (Crest, Grubbs, Sewell) for an alignment after installing new springs?
