Default Anyone dealt with DSR in San Jose?

About to get some things done and wanted to get some feedback on anyone who might have gone to them for anything. I think I remember pretty good things being said about them in the past...

thanks!

Dick, Chad, and Lawrence...

They are great guys that will give you the straight shot. They may be *slightly* higher than other places, but they have always done a great job for me.

Just FYI, I've done the following things there (and more I cannot remember):

-Install Kill switch into ITR
-Install Hella Air horns into BMW
-Dyno ITR before/after Mugen intake
-NASA/HPDE inspections--never charged me even though it's on their time! (I did decide to bring some beer/soda as a thank you.)
-Install Spoon Brakes/rotors into ITR; flush, bleed, re-bleed brakes


What really impressed me about the shop is their honesty. When I had my ITR, Lawrence was really forthright in telling you when he thought your car was tuned to the max. He wouldn't waste additional tuning time on the dyno trying to squeeze out one or two HP for the cost of an hour of additional tuning. He would tell you that that was about it...

Anyway, I would have no hesitation bringing your car there. They have my solid recommendation.

Eddie.

It was years ago, before they moved but i had them do a fair amount of work on my sc'ed integra. Always had a great experience despite the higher cost.
