Just went to Tommy last week... he does great work and knows his stuff! His prices are very reasonable. I definitely recommend him and would go to him again for my installs. I just wish he was closer.. too bad he's in El Monte!

tommy installed my bc coils today, it took him about an hour to install and he was patient for another hour to get the height and dampening to my liking. He also fixed my trunk latch

I just called, he only shaves fenders, not rolls them. Anyone got a good fender roller in the area?

He told me if I have touch up paint then he would help paint the bare metal after the shave.

Unless you have the touch up paint, Tommy will spray a clear coat on the bare metal after he shaves to protect it from rust.

Great guy, took my car for headlight issue. Quick uninstall/installed. Will definitely go back to him for other upgrades or mod.

^^ You need to order them yourself. Then call Tommy for installation.

just met tommy last week. Although i didn't get any work done, he seems like a good, honest guy and I saw him work. He's fast and knows what he's doing.

If he works on as many 2IS as I think he does, he should know the car well which is well worth the $ vs. someone with less experience.

First time going to Tommy yesterday, installed an alarm on my nsx. Awesome job and great guy. Would recommend him to others.

Saw another member there with a gray is. Nice car.
