RECOMMENDED SHOP IN THE BAY AREA??

+1
hear good things about AED

Where exactly are they located though? Are there two separate locations that serve different purposes? Heard they were in san jose, but is one of their locations in Sacramento?

I think you're right. Don't quote me on this, but they have an in-house dyno at their shop to do tuning in San Jose/Santa Clara and they share a dyno with another shop in their Sacramento branch, but have their own Sac garage. It's best to call to find out the details.

I still say nothing beats learing and doing the work yourself, but not all of us have the time to do so, which is why shops exist :)
