Just a thought, you could be pleasantly surprised. And no I do not have any connection to this company, I just hate seeing everybody being so ignorant.
    amen, would also be nice to see more people promoting the motorsports culture in Calgary, instead of bashing shops that open up before even seeing them.

    Just sayin.
    iirc speedtech never had a full tech, neither does autodream. i could be wrong tho...

    I was there today had 2 sets of rims and tires swapped over (Volk RE30/bridgestone RE11 and SSR Type C/kumho XS). I was very impressed with the shop, in and out in about 1 hour. They had some nice parts on the shelf too which i was nice to see.

    Big thanks to Dave and Ray. Good luck with your new shop!

    I would love to know which ones ...

    Do you guys have the ability to do larger tires? I'll probably have a set of 33x12.5 to go on 15x8 rims.

    Shop front pics show what ethnicity the owners are.

    Anyways, summer is coming so I honestly recommend starting your business with a bang.

    Maybe a group buy on certain brands of wheels or something to get some momentum going?

    Would love to see you guys be successful, but only time will tell.

    Dave is a great guy and I ordered fenders for my car through him. He always kept me posted as to the status of my order, without me having to ask and went above and beyond with regards to the process.

    I wish them the best for their business...the store looks nice!

    I met the owner in an unfortunate accident(me taking out a small pole) during winter. Even though he didn't know me, he stopped and let me stay in his car for almost an hour and a half while my friend and AMA came. I'll definitely check out his store next week.

    PS. I don't know if you remember me, but 2010 Red Mazda3 rental LOL

    I'll be checking this store out for sure! The main reason is all these retarted preconceived notions about this store. It's comical that a car enthusiast community is bashing another tuner shop. All these fickle turkerys should stop posting - if you don't want any cognitive dissonance don't go there (I am not saying you'd get it there just that this is the midset of said people), simple as that. To many whiners on beyond imo.

    Best of luck with the shop!

    Any chance you have access to (or already have in stock) some ramps made for lowered cars? I can't seem to find any (and yes, I tried princess auto), I don't know where else to look other than order some in online.
