I've never heard of them but it's a small world though, I lived in Rowland heights 30 years ago around Batson avenue and Colima road and lived in Rancho Cucamonga for about 10 years. Now I live in Oklahoma and like it here alot, for one you can pretty much do whatever you want to do on your car without the smog police giving you trouble. I'm sure someone here knows something about them and will answer your question.

i remember them from when i was in UTI there.

they are the biggest bunch of hacks that i have ever had the displeasure of seeing. they will steal your money and not deliver the work they promised.

they receive i gigantic thumbs down in my book.

Ive had a pretty good experience with them the few times that I've been there, they are a small shop so they give you more personalized attention when you go, brothers performance is in corona, there is also chicane in torrance

LOL Joe can be an ass#ole at Chicane but it's only because he REALLY knows his s#!t look at his shop and the cars the he builds, they are works of art, if you can put up with his attitude and prices he is the man to go to in southern california, as far as GTR... I have good experience with them and know Ricardo and Gonzalo on a personal level, i will say that way back in the day like in 1999-2002 they were just learning this mustang thing and ricardo was the only one turning the wrenches, but know they have 3 ASE Mechanics and have come along way, you will be satisfied IMHO. Tell them Mario sent you and they should give you pretty good prices also. Both shops have performed EXCELLENT work on all my mustangs, hope this helps.

PLEASE the only way Joe is happy is if you throw away your parts and buy his. I KNOW THIS FIRST HAND! WHOCARES if his shop has been on overhaulin! I dont care how good someone is, i refuse to give money to someone who spits in my face. All you need to know about CHICANE is defined in the name......look it up "CHICANE"

GTR has worked on my car for over 6 years and I wouldn't trust ANYONE but them. I been to CHICANE and well lets just say I will never ever go back nor recommend JOE with his ridiculous service and prices. He charged me $550 to change my gears....GTR charged my brother $250 for the exact same install. I went to GTR and have never looked back. I would STRONGLY advise you to go to them for your installs. Those that jumped on the bandwagon to put GTR down shouldn't talk about them if you dont know them from a personal level. My car has been at their shop for over 6 years and I wouldn't trust anyone else with it but them

I've have GTR do some of my stuff (Vortech blower install, clutch, a few others) and have been very happy with them. Chris (one of the ASE mechanics) has done alot of that work and has done an excenlent job. I would highly recommend them.

i see a white mustang with a GTR performance sticker in the mornings at work. eh id probably stay away as well. infact if you want good service and good price im willing to bet u check out my friends shop. and i dont just say it kuz its my friend but he seriously will do good work. Its a regular mechanic shop that works on anything, family owned business but theyve been doing it for along time. 30+ yrs, I recommended them to someone else on another forum and this is a lil clip http://media.putfile.com/whipple-install- of a whipple install he did on a 03 cobra. But ya the shop is called victor's automotive in anaheim, ca 714 666 1300 is the number. his son daniel is the one u want to ask for. just tell him Aaron sent you from the forums. their pretty close to superior automotive as well from what i hear but ive never actually been down there. and daniel drives a vortech 96 cobra with a built motor btw
