Default Looking for a honest shop

I stay in Hawthorne, Ca. My car is all stock and I wanna stay stock until finances get better. What are some good shops? I heard alot of good things about CMS! I would love to take my car there. If anyone knows of a more local shop please let me know. This is my DD by the way so it's important that I deal with a honest shop. I've already dealt with some shady shops and I can't afford to do that again! Thanks everyone

If you want an honest shop without the drama (not saying CMS isn't a good shop, I have no experience with them), give Don Lee Auto a shot. Never had a problem and never heard of anyone complain about them. They've always got a couple Fbodies being worked on.

Not sure how far you are willing to travel or send an engine too but we have a shop ran by a guy named David. His shops name is GCRE...Gulf Coast Racing Engines. He is a good guy and will treat you right. He uses top of the line equipment.

A honest shop is your own garage/driveway after you research and learn how to do what it is you want to do.
