Well once I got the bug, it couldn't be shaken. Just picked this up yesterday.

2006, just over 100k miles. Fully maintained. Cream Puff.



Quick question: Suggestions of a good independent shop to go for maintenance and repairs? I'm ITL Houston.

Youll want to make sure the timing belt has been done.

I'll second Javiers as long as you're not in a hurry.

Previous Owner did the timing belt and water pump service at 90k-ish miles.

Last year it got new brakes, shocks, battery, and CV joints.

Any alternatives to Javier's? This will be my DD and he's a little slow.

re Javiers slow in what way?

I know some people who have used Tech Auto

edit

just saw about DD, everytime I used him I would rent from the enterprise and get picked up and dropped off

C&C's Northside Motors is my Rec. I've used them three times for major stuff (timing belts, etc) on my former Lexus cars. EDIT..NM their closed for good. Sorry.

Second EDIT: Looks like they re-opened under TrackTime Performance. I'm not sure if they still do general work or track/race work only. In any case, it's the same people and they are highly rated both from
me and the S2000, Miata, etc scene.
