Need some input on the East Coast Performance shop located on 258/24, taking my FD there tomorrow and id like to know if anyone has had any experiences good or bad with them. Thanks

 

What type of stuff are you looking for them to do to your FD? They dont know much about rotaries.

for a more in depth discussion of what i am looking to do

 

Well i hope they do good on your car,my buddy took his FD for a tune up last year and they only changed 2 spark plugs because they told him thats "all they have is 2 spark plugs...its a rotary"

 

well I just dropped the thing off, hope they do alright with it.

 

I used to go there b/c i knew the owner John and have him do work on my WRX and he did good work with my eclipse at ESC. But I heard he doesnt work there now and I had some past personal experiences with a couple of the other mechanics and as I remember, if its still the same, unless you had a honda or a dsm it was a kind of roll of the dice deal. I had them build up my eclipse while i was deployed and i noticed a lot of the parts that i had on prior to the buildup were taken off and not given back like a HKS bov, a w/g and stock foglights. I asked where they were he said in the back somewhere but then i started to notice some of my parts on cars that were friends of theirs. I confronted them about it and they said they would get it back..never did. Hope you comment back with your experience.

 

That seems kinda shady, I am going to stop by there after work and talk it over with em.

 

last time i had them work on something was january 05...might've changed since then...seriously pick their brain though..who's the mechanic working on it?

 

hope all goes well.

 

East Coast isn't a bad place to go, but like all of the shops here it's all about who you know, and most all of them at the shops know eachother. I still go to East Coast from time to time, Jeff isn't a bad mech along with Larry. It is true though that they are mainly Honda guys but they do a lot more then that as well and still can fabricate a lot of things even without John.

Personally though I've never really had a bad incident with them and have always gotten great deals, low prices for labor.
