Default Big Shout Out for AutoFashion in San Diego

I had a great experience with AutoFashion on the install of my Tein CS's on my 03 GS430. I purchased the Tein's off of another CL member and they were happy to install them since they have done many before. Well it turns out that I got the dreaded ABS, VSC on/off lights after the install. AutoFashion made sure that my car was diagnosed and repaired by our local Lexus dealership. Turns out that the repair was approximately $2000 and I only paid them $350 for the coilover install. They lost out in the short run but I will make sure to let everyone know what kind of stand up shop this was. BTW, the Tein CS's are worth every dollar. Almost a stock ride with 20" wheels.

So is that what it ended up costing them to fix that, Damn! I was with my boy Freddie on Wednesday when he was trying to figure it out and I called Lexogood (Ken) to see if he knew what the problem was. Freddie and Ken talked for a few and Freddie was hoping it wasn't that bad but I guess it was.

Well glad to see you got the ride fixed and all is well. Freddie and his crew are good to go.

Apparently it was to diagnose and change out both speed sensors. I'm not sure if this is what they paid but I was told that this is what I would've been charged if I had to get these replaced myself by Lexus. Car drive great with no further lights. It's in the detail shop today and then I will have to post a few pics with the body kit, wheels and exhaust.

Thumbs up I second that...

I got my Tein CS's installed by Autofashion also, in fact the day after Kiet (1GS430) and they did a great job. The ride is fantastic and the handling is definetly a step up from the factory set up. I really did not want to be rolling on factory 17s but I am happy that i did the suspension first.

Freddie showed Smurf and I the GS that they are getting ready for SEMA with the Air Runner setup, man is that thing droooooooped.

Kiets ride looks very sweet, I believe the color is parchment pearl which is the first G that I have seen in that color. Nice ride man!~
