Default any one need an installer/tuner (houston area)

Hi guys my name is Chris Rhoades owner of Crush Automotive Customs. Due to the economy i have had to stop production on shipping custom parts but want to let you guys know I'm still around for installs and tuning.
So if you have been wondering were to go to have your clutch installed I'm your guy.

I do but not limited to installs on
clutch&flywheel
motor mounts
turbo kits
engine management systems
engine
exhaust
oil catch can
intake
audio
(the list goes on)

also for those worried about what tuner to chose just talk to a few SL members that i have helped. I also give a guarantee with my tune, ask for details!

I have been known to break out the welder from time to time for those who need something welded.

I keep very competitive prices and can beat most shops.

call Chris @ (832) 599-8610

also see me on myspace http://www.myspace.com/crush02342002
email crushautomotivecustoms@yahoo.com

Hi Chris, my name is Albert from a local Advance Auto Parts (and Scion tC owner). Do you have a shop location? We might be able to help you out depending on location. Drop me a line and we can talk further.

im in the greenspoint area...close to a new advanced auto parts thats in the fiesta parking lot. they saved my butt trying to find a 38mm 12point 1/2" drive socket...for the longest i thought i was going to have to speacial order one. you guys had 3 of em on the shelf. I looked all around town (pep-boys, auto zone, car quest, to name a few) and finally you guys had it. All i can say is bravo. I currently dont have a full shop, that was one of the down grades i had to deal with.

OH! Great to hear one of our stores could help you out in such a way! Well, my store is in the Cypress area. If you ever decide on a shop eventually again maybe close to the area we can help you in big ways to get your business rolling. Untill then, know that we can find all kinds of parts and accessories you normally cant get at other stores like you mentioned. And if you're ever in the Cypress/ Katy area, you're welcome to stop on by!

$200 if using an aftermarket flywheel and if it doesnt need to be machined...$250 if using the stocker (flywheel will be resurfaced). can take up to a week to finish (have to wait on machine shop if flywheel needs resurfacing)

Thumbs up for this guy, he knows what he's doing. Might as well save ur money and headache from the so called "tuning shops" around here and go to Crush.

Turbochargers.com recently gained new management and also got a new tuner...They just held a Dyno Day last weekend...Seems like they are starting to pull their crap back together...

I went to turbochargers after the new management and so called "tuner" and they sent me a beautiful installed but half a$$ tune... I was tuned by chris and my god its day and night compared to how turbochargers gave me my car! Chris also did my clutch install and beautifly done might I say! I will never go anywhere else! My only downfall is I have no time... but chris works around my schedule and does amazing work! I am proud to say to anyone I am crush tuned!
