A fairly new shop opened up just off Cleopatra in the west end, about 2 min from trackwerks and I just wanted to mention them on here in case anyone was looking for some work to get done. I know the owners brother which is how I came to bring my car to them in the first place. I have sent a few buddies of mine over there to get some work done and have not had one complaint. I have also sent some people from here, even some people which i have never met and they were all happy with the quality of workmanship and the reasonable prices.

dont just take it from me though:


Hey Matt!

Just a quick note to say I went to see VIP today. Igor is a VERY nice guy, & I liked his Dad too. I went in about 1:00pm, looking for a two wheel switch & balance. Igor squeezed me in this afternoon and seems to have done a great job, & been careful about it. He used only a few wheel weights, and to me that's a sign of a good job done by a knowledgable operator.

We talked about some other work; and I have been sort of looking for an alternate to the guys I usually use for stuff that's beyond me.

Thank you for the recommendation: take a bow!

Don

Hey Matt,

Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks. Got my tires mounted through Igor and his father, left them for a day or so. Sounds like they can do mechical work too, so I'll use them the next time I need stuff done.

Thanks again!
Chris

I know both of them are related to wheel mounting but those were the 2 pm's i had left in my inbox so i thought i would post them. They have a paint booth so do good bodywork and do pretty much anything mechanical.

also the owners sexy skyline is nice to look at, and would also tear bastard a new asshole :)

not sure if its Perry's old one but its pushing decent power. he did have a blue one that he traded so I am assuming it must be him. he got it without paint and it was painted last week i believe. the new paint looks siick

EZ there killer, I lined up with Igor on the highway (In Antartica) with my 300ZX, and I won... barely... and he also blew his tranny that night in the 5-6th pull we did.

Igor also painted the front clip of my M3... Not the best job, he gave my car a nice lizard skin finish... but for the price, id do it again, nothing a good compound and buff wouldnt fix.

But I know igor, he is a good guy, and does take pride in everything he does.

haha Joe... It was more of a joke since Bastard boasts his 10 year old Audi as if it is a god among import rice.

but ALOT of shit has been done since he got it. the car was a hack job in terms of wiring and the way it ran; if you know who did that swap for perry. its different now, and looks alot better too.

I went to VIP yesterday to get my tires mounted/balanced on my wheels. Igor did a great job, very friendly and accomadating with my work schedule. The shop is really clean, i'd recommend him to anyone.
