Default Pasadena Auto Shop - Integrity Auto?

Hi Guys,

GReddySetG PMed me about Tein CS/EDFC sales and installation at...

Integrity Auto
1551 E. Walnut St.
Pasadena, CA 91106

Has anyone heard of them and can post some feedback? Their prices are great, but I'm hesitant to have such an intensive installation done there if I've never seen/heard of their work.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Jason

I don't know if he did or did not buy the coilovers yet. But I mean, who is more experienced with Tein coilover than an authorized dealer. No, Tein does not void their warranty if you use your own installer. But if there is a problem, an authorized dealer will be able to solve a warranty issue much more quickly and easily than a non-authorized dealer.

Jason, I'll see you Friday morning

Thumbs down

I rate this shop a 6.5 out of 10, mostly due to lack of experience...

Danny, the shop owner, showed up 3 hours late.

His dad, the "head technician" struggled to install the coilovers.

Their shop hand, ran a red light giving me a ride in a customer's car.

Creaking noises were misdiagnosed and resulted in an additional $300, noises still present.

Team lacks timeliness.

Danny provided a Tein Manual when requested, but assumed I could read the Japanese version.

For those of you who had a good experience here, that's great , but this is my experience ()that I wanted to share.

FYI...they've moved to:

Integrity Auto
28 W. Live Oak Unit D
Arcadia, CA 91007
