theres a few shops up there. You may get inputs here from people who have been to a few, i would search personally, these threads always get out of hand. I personally take my car to CMS in lake elsinore, but i would let more people chime in, and/or look in a search before you absolutely decide.

There should just be a sticky for shops in the western region. Someone could search by state, read the shop info and a short message under each shop's info. This would be much easier than people battling it out on threads like these every time and would be a convenient thing to have on here.

I have heard great things about Haddad and good things about Strickly but personally I trust my car to Ryne@CMS.
Honestly when you are looking into prices you gte waht you pay for when going with a quality shop. You never know where these smaller shops are saving their money on your car .

Long story short I let them take me for $75 to tune it which they could not do. Then I relised they did not have a clue in this case and it was going to get real expensive real quick...
Alot of there customers Are Mopar oreinted and are not afraid to over spend on the next wild combonation they can make up...
I can show you a $20,000 custom Hemi engine that they built for a customer. It is currently being re-done at another shop. You can clearly see it was there mistake. Supperior says no the customer messed with the motor and thats why it came apart. Now this customer paid them to create the turn key package. If you look at the pistons, Supperior cut the valve relief to deep so there is no support on the top ring land. Thats were it came apart at.
