I used Mike from Icon Auto Sports the last time the car was worked on and he did a great job on everything. There were a few things that went wrong but Mike fixed them up. The time taken to complete the car was a bit long but you have to be patient on a perfect job....

MTI for tuning

SPEED DEMON is also very helpful as Chris always comes through for me!!!!

I have been using SPEED DEMON for the past 6 months, he has done all my mods and installations. Done an awesome job, and if i need anything checked he is ready and willing, no questions asked. Been to MTI, im sure they do great work, but stood there for 30 mins waiting to be helped, and the guy who helped me treated me like I was a 8 year old with no money. Went straight to Speed Demon, and Chris has assisted me every step.

True about MTI..... went there to get some tr6 plugs, wires, o2 sims, and took like 30 minutes to attend us b/c they were talking to another customer.... (maybe its b/c he spent BIG $$$$) believe he had purchased a 422.... anyways checked out HPE and they RULE...... best customer service, and they didnt talk to me like i was an 8 year old.... also have gone to G force and Mike is really cool to talk to...... maybe MTI has changed, but that first impression they gave stuck with me and it hasnt changed....

Guys we are very lucky to live in the great city/state of Houston Tx. with that said there are multiple shops that do great work !!!

HPE
MTI
ICON AUTOSPORTS
G- FORCE

I have had great work done by them in the past, the best word of advice I would give to some one trying to decide between them is to visit and talk with the shop Rep. Just because you go to a shop and they don't roll out the red carpet when you first walk in maybe for many different reasons. All shops sales reps/ Shop Techs deal with 100's of calls and walk inn’s daily. So what I'm trying to say is don't take it personal everyone has there bad days. And I know some shops had fixed there issue with Rep's not giving customer their respected that they deserve. I have great friends that work at all the shops listed above and I will say that they all eat/sleep these cars, they know the ends and outs Hell they could even teach GM a thing or two stepping off the saop box for now.

Wow! I am the first shop that has been mentioned (in a good way) to reply back to this topic! I guess that means that we are really interested in the feedback from you guys

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has had a good experience doing business with us and we really appreciate you speaking up and referring to Icon AutoSports as the performance shop that you trust with your vehicles. It means alot
