Modded owners in SoCal

Where do you get your maintenance done? Any reputable shop around Orange County?

I'm trying to steer clear of dealerships because of my mods.

Thanks!

the intake and jb3 are no problem to take out myself.. but the downpipes and exhaust would be a hassle everytime.

Might want to hit up RissRacing's new shop.
It's in Santa Ana.
Not too far from Irvine.

Regardless of how friendly a dealership may appear, I would take the downpipes out to be sure.

It would be a hell of a hassle to take out the DP's every time you go in to the dealer for an oil change. I say you should do your oil changes yourself at home or go somewhere and have them do it. It'll be cheaper than uninstalling and installing your DP's.
