FWIW, RCAutoworks failed at repairing my AP1's front upper control arm bracket tear away issue (somewhat common). I provided pictures showing what and where to weld, and they/he poorly welded the wrong locations. The weld bead typically had little to no penetration and sometimes entirely missed either the frame or bracket. Additionally, they/he welded the bracket's sides towards the top not the sides, bottom and lower inside as shown by the pictures.
To add insult, they reinstalled the driver side shock/spring assembly backwards and attached the brake line, which was under tension when I found it (glad it didn't tear/pop/rupture).

I've had similar AMS experiences where they're not interested in my "small" jobs.

I would have to say get yourself some tools and a book and learn to DIY. You will really know your car then plus you appreciate something more if you've done it yourself IMO. This is of course if you don't want to go to the dealer or where ever.

Not gonna lie you really won't want to at all. I only work on my own cars and that's it and only when I have to. Haha I got my intake last Friday and was going to put it on over the weekend but was like eh screw that another time.
Im always up for helping out a local. Always wondered if I had a shop or was a tech if I would still enjoy working on cars after a long day at work
