Default Good shop in South Florida? Broward/Dade?

I searched, came up with nothing. I used to go to Chris Green when I had my VW. Any shops that have done Scions specifically that you've dealt with?

Thanks.

Sorry, I was vague.
Simple installs. Springs, Strut, Sway, etc. For example the TRD accessories.

You don't need a scion shop for that, I thought you were talking about engine work and such. Just find a trustworthy mechanic and he can do that with ease.

Fair enough, but sometimes there are little quirks with each make and a mechanic already familiar with these would do the job better. When I had my VW I took it to a shop that was known for working on VW's, I'd like to do the same for the Scion. Do you know of a trustworthy mechanic you would recommend?

Never bad to have a backup, if you can PM me his info I'd appreciate it.
Seems for the time being that I've found my solution at Hollywood Scion, a bit closer to me than Kendall.

Japtrix. They've already tuned a few tC's already including Brett's built motor tC which at the time had the zpi stage1.

BTW, want to join a scion club? Check out the Jensen Beach Scikotics Chapter http://www.scikotics.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=139

just giving you a heads up. we worked quite a bit with scions in the tri-county area as well as the newer k series honda's. we also have done a few on the local Dezod installs since they never did installs only sales. we are quite familiar with your needs and have 6 bays directly on university dr in lauderhill. we also recently added a AWD dyno to the building too.

we are in the ft lauderdale area and have a dyno in house. we have been tuning emanage for years as well as certified by AEM and many other ems systems on the market. pm me for any pricing you might need. we have quite a few customers in your area as well with a variety of vehicles.
