VA Shop Opening - CK Autoworks, Manassas, VA

I recently had lunch with Kyle Ruset and he mentioned that he is opening up a new general repair shop in Manassas, VA. Some of you may know him from his old job at RP Performance. I guess the shop officially opens on November 1st, although he's been settling in already. He wanted me to pass along the shops email (ckautoworks@gmail.com) for anyone who wanted info. While his shops focus isn't specifically Mazda, he does have a lot of experience dealing with RX7s and Miatas, so I'd definitely recommend hitting him up if you have any questions.

I've had all of my work for my RX-7s done by Kyle. He's a great guy and will make sure your car is running in top condition before you leave!

Maybe you can explain why you think that people are following "Blind Faith" or are you just talking bullshit?

The shop's address is:

8395 Euclid Ave.
Unit Q
Manassas Park, VA, 20111

(Should have included that in the first go round )

He is sharing a shop with Meador Automotive -- there isn't a CK sign at the moment, but one is on the way.

Just got another TII so this is definitely good to know. I haven't dealt with him personally, anyone know what sort of tuning capabilities he has?

I dropped my car off for Kyle last week and he was able to fix what I broke and make it run better than it has in at least a year. He is very fair on the price and an excellent guy to deal with. He def has my business.

Hmm I'll definitely have to be in touch with him then. Not to hijack the thread, but has anyone in the NoVA area had their car painted/ know anyone good?

Mr. Spoiler has quite a reputation for good quality paint jobs and if I'm not mistaken it is maybe 50 yards past CK Automotive. As far as the question regarding Kyle's tuning capabilities; Kyle is capable of tuning but will not be setting his shop up for it.

Damn, looks nice. If you don't mind me asking - how much did that set you back?
