Default Just moved to Vegas

Hey I just moved to Vegas, I own a White/Pearl 1999 SC-300 and I'm looking for some reputable shops out here.
I'm hoping to slap a turbo kit on my baby pretty soon, but I very skeptical about the shops near my area...they all look pretty trashy. So I was just wondering if you guys know of any shops that'll give a good deal to military and will take care of my baby?
Thanks alot,

-Jeanius

Good luck with that dude. I too wanna go turbo and I think I know a place that might do it. It's called Uehara Motorsports on Rainbow and Russell. They did work on my Celica and the owner has a really nice widebody MR2. From what I've heard he specializes in Toyotas so taking your SC there might be good. I was actually gonna call the shop one day asking for a quote on a turbo and an auto to manual conversion.

if i were you, i'd plan a trip to LA. i gave up trying to find a shop here to do my suspension. i was going to LA anyway, so i had it done there for less than half what places quoted here.
