He does good work, I've gone to him a good 3-4 times since I've had my 3GS in less than a year. Pretty knowledgeable with Lexus and Toyota. Anybody had alignment work done by him?

I'm thinking about calling Tommy for a price quote on doing some work... Is he good about quoting prices or is he one of those types that says it depends, etc, etc?

I think what I would be requesting is pretty straight forward.

That's commonplace for Tommy.

He should be upfront with pricing.

Call him. I highly recommend him.

He's sooo good, he can install an overhead Nav system on an SC430. He's that good.

When I first went to Tommy, I called how much it would cost to get coilovers installed on my LS. He quoted me X. After I went in, he actually charged me less. Hes awesome to work with.

I called and spoke to Tommy last week. Very nice fella. He gave me general pricing and invited me to stop by the shop if I was in the area to talk in person.

Has anyone had Tommy do an IB subwoofer setup in their car? Or know if he is familiar with Infinite Baffle?

I had tommy install most everything on my car, interior to exterior (check my thread. Link in sig). He even does my oil changes on two of my cars and two of my friends cars with evo x's. Best prices too.

I'm starting to speculate him to be the stig. He's that good.

I believe that shaving your front fenders creates more clearance, but at the same time exposes your fenders to becoming rusted due to you removing the paint. I have asked Tommy about this before and he said as long as you spray the shaved area with clear coat you should have no problem. Hope this helps!

Does anyone have information on whether or not Tommy has done the Daizen control arm bushing instal before on a 2GS? I have the lower, upper, and caster bushings, as well as the sway bar endlink bushings, steering rack bushings, lower ball joints and outer tie rods. Most of the shops around my area wont even attempted to do it because they fear the difficulty of removing the actual bushings, so I'm in need of a go to guy.
