Reputable MR2 shop

therealjab · 05-26-2008, 09:44 PM

Hey guys,

I was wondering if any of you know of a reputable MR2 shop located in the So-Cal area? I have an NA now but I plan on doing either a gen2 3sgte or a gen3 3sge swap really soon so if they could perform maintenance on a modded MR2 that would be a huge plus. Thanks!

That doesn't sound promising

What is with these performance shops and having desperately lackluster customer service? I've hit up a few other local performance shops in City of Industry and hell will have frozen over before I get a response to my e-mails/calls.

lude1888 · 05-28-2008, 06:42 PM

Interesting, they might be really busy! If your close by you should just go to the shop!

Heres a good listing for everyone for MR2 Specialist I've taken several MR2 to Linh at Mario's Imports in Huntingbeach.

Listed below is also a link for great Mechanics and tuners in So Cal

Hope it helps

Estoril73 · 07-26-2011, 12:38 AM

Hi Guys,

Don't wanna jack an old thread, but why not re-use one?!

Anyhow, anyone know any reputable shops in the San Diego area?

THanks!

Estoril73 · 08-02-2011, 12:04 PM

Since ETL seems to be highly recommended I decided to email them but so far no response......

Anyone, in the San Diego area?

Jmoney · 08-05-2011, 08:59 PM

Anyone from LA to San Diego should be taking their 2 to Linh at Mario's Imports in Huntington Beach. Basically, he is the MR2 guru in our area. You pay what you get for, not that he charges outrageous prices or anything, its very fair. The guy is a Toyota Master mechanic and warranties his work, you really can't go wrong.

kidrod2010 · 02-08-2012, 12:24 PM

Would like to hear about your experiences at ETL, please PM me if you're willing to share. Thanks!
