Which shop cuz i Finished saving up!!!!!!

I just finished saving up to fix my broken fd and get it runnig. My dad was thinking Alamo Rotary and i was thinking Gotham. I searched thur these forums on both shops and what i come across is nothing but great things about gotham and steve but i hear mixed reviews about Alamo Rotary and Tito. From what i read tito cant tune if his life depended on it but steve is a god when tuning any 7. Also in some forums ppl say tito does shady stuff and many of times cars had to be brought back to him, havent heard of this yet for gotham. Ive been saving for 6 months now and i dont wanna take my beautiful car to a shop and get screwed. So if any fd owner could shed some light on this for me plz do. cuz i dont wanna have to save up again for another 6months cuz of a bad shop. thnx

If you are staying the TX area, either Gotham or Rotary Performance. If you are ok going out of state: Pettit Racing in FL.

Should be obvious which one to choose. Everyone here loves Steve for his tuning abilities. You have herd bad things about Alamo, which one should you choose.......Is it that hard?
