Actually they're the worst. Ask around a little bit. They have very few repeat customers of any kind. Ls1 or not. You would be wise to look someplace else.

I will take that under advisement, thanks. I've been taking my car there since it was new and have got nothing but A1 service and info. I am really surprised to hear that...

I have heard bad things about Stropes too. But I have come to find you will hear bad things about all shops. Rapid is a bit of a haul from Pittsburgh but my wife and I made a weekend out of it and visited Lancaster which is only about 45 min from Rapid.

I haven't heard anything bad about rapid either, but have heard lots of horror stories about stropes. I'm taking my car to rapid when I get the turbo on, too bad it's like 3.5 hours away.
