i was using this place near me called greenway auto, i was using them for my last car, a torino, because they specialize in older stuff. I decided to stick with them when i got my 99 because one of the guys there is obsessed with f-bodies and wanted to work on it but i wanna use someone else now

For Dyno I like Extreme, but haven't actually had any work done there. Jan and Scott are cool guys every time I have been through there though.
