NV Seeking FD mechanic in Las Vegas area

Hello,

I recently moved to Las Vegas, and based on my research, it seems the closest reliable rotary shops require a trip to SoCal. I have a few jobs I need to have done, and I want to avoid a 200+ mile drive if possible. I believe they are relatively simple procedures, but I am not mechanically inclined, and I want everything done right.

If anyone in the Las Vegas area is willing to do some work, please respond and let me know how you'd like me to contact you. Some of the jobs I am looking for include rear pillowball replacement along with downpipe and efini y-pipe installation. I'll probably just have one job performed at first to see how it goes, and if all goes well, we can discuss further work.

I am willing to pay reasonable rates for your time and skill. Please let me know if you are interested!

Thanks,

Jim

I heard that the "PUERTO-RICAN" who works for Chris Brown's Shop is pretty good. His name's Allen.

i've been looking for a mechanic who can tune a power fc and do some work on my car in vegas for YEARS! literally years... no kidding. 4 or 5 years ago there was a rotary guy over by the vegas speedway i took my car to. yeah it was 2003... he sucked and his shop looked like hell.

so, i have to do all my own work and i suck. i totally need my power fc dyno-tuned and my stock turbo looked at.

it's depressing... wish i lived in socal.
