MTI, G-Force, HPE, Icon Motorsports, take your pick.

Check out the sponsors on the right, plenty of them are in the Houston area.

In Houston? There are more speed shops than bars.

Search our sponsor list by zip code.

Important to consider two things. Quality of work and location. Lots of good shops in Houston. All that have been mentioned are good. Depends on your location. If you live on the North side of Houston try Conley's Performance Plus. Half way between I-45 and Hw 59 on Fm 1960. Good luck!
