This is my (and another guys) post from the GS forum, refering to this shop:

They swapped out my engine for me a few months ago and have had absolutely no issues. If you want call the shop at (718) 850-5000.

I went to the same shop and they did an amazing job - HIGHLY recommend this place. Did everything, including upper/lower bushings, strut mounts, new front shocks and front and rear sways in roughly 7 hours at an awesome price. The guys here are also really nice and talk to you like you're not a moron (even got offered a few slices of pizza at lunch). The dude who worked on my car knew what was up and this was only the 2nd Daizen bushing job he's done (Frank was the first - how is your big brake kit ). So yea - if you're in NY, and need these installed, or for that matter, anything, check these guys out. I'm in the Bronx and it was totally worth the drive out there, and I'll continue to do so for all my mods.

Hey everyone, This is great to know. Finding good places to work on our cars for a reasonable price is hard to come by. But if anyone else is interested in another shop in the Flushing, Corona area. I also know of a great place. He's a personal friend of mine and is a very skilled mechanic. I just had my whole suspension redone. meaning coilovers,new sway bars, replaced all the bushings all around fronts, rears, uppers and lowers and new front LCA's, within about 6-7 hours. for a very reasonable price. Everyone that i know that's went to him said the guy is great. BTW he works on all cars not only lex's he's also done 240's, sti's, vette's, 350's, 300zx's, VW's, Honda/Acura's just to name a few of my friends rides. If anyone is interested you could PM me i can get a price quote from him for any work you might want done or i could give you the info to contact him directly. Oh and BTW i dont mean to step on anyones toe's or take business away from anyone. i just wanted to share a great option for anyone that might be interested and or more convenient for them.

i plan on going to Aliga's brother's shop when I need my timing belt replaced as well as other stuff likes brakes etc.

Aliga:

Does your brother's shop also do wet sanding to get swirls out of black cars etc?

Thanks,

Ted

Hey Guys,
I had my Daizen Bushings, pass. ball joint, front rotors & pads, rear pads, spark plugs, timing belt, water pump, Bilstein HD shocks, L-tuned springs, strut mount, and one wheel stub installed at 104th St. Auto. They did a great job 1st time around. Gazi is very reasonable with his prices, and doesn't try to jerk you. The worker are pretty cool also. I took a long trip from Morris County in Jersey to Queens, NY just to have this work done. It was worth it, my car drives nice and smooth, I can take NY bumps, and I haven't even done the alignment yet.

Sounds like a great shop. I wish I had the time to drive out from central. Stll haven't found a good one here yet, and I got A LOT of repairs that need to be done.

I've been checking this forum for 2 yrs now i think and ppl always ask the same question: Need a good mechanic in xxxxx.

I'm surprised the mods haven't created a sticky on this topic yet. Anyway, i'm ranting a bit.
