Hey guys,

I'm from Pasadena, Calif. and I'm just wondering is there a trusted aftermarket shop in the LA County that specializes in suspension work?

I'm looking to have new Prothane bushings installed with the Bullitt Handling Kit.

Thanks in advance:

Boy, the Cars & Coffee event was a bust. Only about 8 Mustangs there. Of course it rained the night before and the total number of cars was small. Maybe next week.

They're not quite the same. Galpin Auto Sports (GAS) is across the street from Galpin Ford, and does the customizing for all the Galpin dealers. GAS is great just to hang out at because of all the amazing cars there. (They did most of my mods.)

My next Mustang will be bought from Galpin. They have some beautiful cars there that they have put some special touches to.

Ooh!

I know they're not cheap, and I'm not looking to waste money myself, but I like going there because I no longer have my own tools, garage space, nor ability to contort (I haven't tuned up a car since my '72 Mach1.)

Also, in addition to AFM, they're a good source of very localized advice--and the advice I've gotten there has been spot on.

Plus, I can tell any inquiring authorities that "the dealer" installed all that loud stuff.

When I went there I was looking to get a supercharger kit and to have it installed, I talked to the salesman for 2 months waiting to see when they were going to have a kit for my car and I was assured that if I went through them and had them install the kit my factory warranty would not be void so I called vortech myself and found out that they had a kit for my car like 2 months before I started looking and the salesman told me that they did not have a kit for my car then when I called him back and told him that there was a kit for my car he told me it was going to cost me $5500 for kit and $1500 for install clearly that was a rip off so I looked for the kit myself and found it for $3500 so i bought the same kit that they were going to sell me at the Galpin Auto Sports. I called back and told him I bought the kit and wanted them to install it for me so before I set the appointment I asked one more time about the warranty and he changed his mind and told me that the warranty was going to be voided because the kit did not come from them I told him that it was the same kit that they were going to sell me so he did not have anything to say so I figured that if the warranty was going to be void anyways and they were going to screw with me then they just wont get my money so I had a guy who was highly recommended install the kit for $1000 I saved a ton of money like that.
