I know a lot of you do your own work for your cars.. but I've been looking for a while for a garage that specializes in doing imports.. especially Hondas. Anyone have any suggestions? There are some things I don't have the know how to do myself.

Just basically looking for a garage that knows imports and how to do aftermarket stuff..
The garage I go to now (for oil changes and such).. he's a good mechanic but he doesn't know much about aftermarket.. I had him do my CAI (only because I don't have jackstands), he tried to hook up my CAI to the stock intake hoses.. luckily I was there to correct him. Never taking my car back there for anything except maybe an oil change.
So yeah.. just looking for a garage who knows aftermarket stuff. I'm in Northern CT so somewhere around there would be good.

I also prefer doing my own work.. the problem is I don't have all the necessary tools to do so all the time.

Do not, I repeat DO NOT GOT TO SWIFT MOTORSPORTS! There horrible there.
Yo masta, where you at in Groton? I live in Montville. Seems like this area is the Intake and exhaust capital of the world. Not for long tho, a couple of my boys are coming out with some pretty sick cars.

Digital.. do you go to University of New Haven? I was gonna go there, didn't get in. New Haven's got some decent rides from what I saw while down there (I bought my civic in West Haven).

i'm at PQ / Downtown Groton. Groton sucks, and yes, DO NOT GO TO SWIFT MOTORSPORTS. they fucking suck and dont know wtf they're doing. My friend armand had swift install his b18 motor and they blew it up. they blamed it on the parts that my friend bought. They also would not buy him a new motor. All they did was tell him to buy a new motor and they will install it. Yeah...pretty shitty huh? Well he bought another motor and they installed it, but did a half ass'd job. He took the car home running like shit only because he wanted to get his car out of there ASAP.
