So question, do any of us have a garage with tools, and absolutely love to work on cars that wants to help me with a few things?

trust me... even more if you do the cross member bushings (which you could have done since you pull it out to do the tranny mount) |

I did the bushings too. But this isnt normal i don't think :/ something is off. Feels like something is hitting something else (maybe the downpipe against the tranny?) it sounds like harsh knocking

Hey guys, apologies for the thread hijack. I just moved from NY to Mar Vista and need to find a local shop to give my car the once over (I drove from NY and something's started making an odd noise). Any recommendations?
John Oh, and i guess while I'm asking, a body shop - from parking on Manhattan streets my rear bumper looks like it's been raped by a steel unibody gorilla. Last edited by Robb77; 02-16-2013 at 04:47 PM. |

it really depends how far you want to drive. i have heard great reviews from suby specialties in Monrovia (about 30-35 miles from here). i personally go to apollo performance in Upland (a little further but great dudes). as far as body shop, maybe todd (2kool) can give you a recommendation. he knows a few places in this area. |

I use AQ motorsports in torrance for service. They have been great for me and a lot closer.
Not sure about body work but let me know when you find a spot. My car has a few LA bruises as well |

Cheers guys, I appreciate the suggestions.
How is the on street parking out here? Do people simply use your bumper as marker to let them know when to stop like they do in NY? Just wondering if I'll be wasting my cash shelling out to get my back bumper completely resprayed. |
