Be glad it isn't Romo performance. One race and it would be out for half the season.

I've seen really good work coming from there lately, and they have been super busy. I'm about to take my car there, a few friends have had work done there too.
Is anyone able to say why they aren't any good? I've been there quite a few times. Great people.

Lethal is in schertz, not far north of SA.
Hinson is in New Braufels I believe.

JMS is in SA.

What exactly do you need done?

I must have missed why everyone doesn't like Aikman. Can anyone really say why?
