With having 28yrs of expertise and you have someone else do the work?
You should only post neg. comments about a shop if you have used them and why you left having a neg. feeling about them. I have 20yrs maintaining 30-50 million dollar corp. jets so what’s your point.

Patrick and the crew up at Quality are great. Very honest guys, great work and good prices. I just had my LG street headers installed up there recently. Very happy with the work they have done on my car

In regards to LG, if you talk to one guy he will give you this quote. If you talk to another guy, he give you another quote. I dealt with that when pricing out a motors, trans and rear-end. There really is no consistency in the way they quote prices. I only say this cause I forwarded the exact same thing two seperate times and received to "very" different prices. There is no doubt LG does excellent work and produces extremely fast cars, however, there is definitely a lack of communication in the sales dpt.

Good choice in not going with the crowd, you still have your A/C and you probably got the parts installed that you asked for and paid for with the correct a/f.

Interesting thread, I had to subscribe as I am getting an occasional grind trying 1st gear and I'm not sure if I want to take care of the problem now or until I am sent back to Ft. Benning, GA.

I'm only a few hours away from Dallas here at Ft. Sill, OK.
