Somewhere to get work done LA

Hi all;

Just moved here from OZ, first major purchase was my new 7 but have blew out the intake manifold gasket between LIM and block. Major job with turbo removal and all required, so figure i should take it to someone who knows what there doing, but i haven't found any yet!

Im in Covington / Madisonville and have no worries driving it somewhere to have quality work done, but it just be quality! motor only has 2500 miles on it, and i have dodgied the gasket so its not leaking, but it aint right, so hope to get it fixed asap!

anyway, would be great to meet some other locals too along the way. but all the same, thanks for any assistance i get.
Matt

I don't know about LA but Rx7.com Rotary performance is just north of Dallas. They do great work. I drive 4 hours to have my car tuned there.
