    Tunedub is Awesome for VW/Audi stuff.. been going there since it opened. (OEM repairs and aftermarket support)

    Actually no, it sucks.. stay away. I used to be able to get in within a few days.. now its slightly longer. (Still less then most other places.. but it was like having a personal mechanic at the start!)

    Yeah disappointing for sure. Let me know where you get your NSX serviced.

    I've never been, but it sounds like the place to try.

    Dumb question, but I hate changing my own oil and Jim would always order in the Amsoil Euro formula for me. Any other oil change shop I can get that stuff?

    He's an incredible mechanic, he worked at BMW for years too, he has Aston Martin's, Porsche's, and tons of Euro's he's always fixing. I took all my BMW's to him, and so did my parents and all their friends. Highly recommend him.

    he's awesome.

    That is one HELL of a hike for me, seeing as how I live deep S.W :s However if they are trust worthy it'd be worth a try. They seem to know their stuff based on their website
