I work at a small shop in northridge, ca and the owners allow me to do side-jobs after work. I have been working as a tech for about 5 years and I specialize in drivetrain and computer controls. There is pretty much no job that I can't do as since I have always worked in small shops I do pretty much everything. I went to LA Pierce College's automotive program and maintained a 3.5gpa in my automotive classes. I have been working on my dad's formula atlantic cars and now his indy car since I was about 10yrs old. I currently have 4 ASE's: auto trans, manual trans/drivetrain/differentials, electrical, and automotive A/C. The only jobs that i won't do (due to the amount of downtime involved) are engine rebuilds. I have installed 4 bushing kits, so that is not a problem. I can do a full install of an energy kit for $450 including alignment (to factory specs custom specs will be $25 extra). If you need any work just PM me and we can arrange a time. Thanks.

Quick Question bro,
For the $450 price, does that include the bushing set aswell?
If not, Please excuse my noobness

No, that is for complete install with alignment only. The bushing kit should run you about $150. If you have some aftermarket parts so you don't need ALL of the bushings installed the obviously the price would be less.

energy bushing installs = easy but time consuming, especially the rear arms

Exactly! If you figure in $65 for alignment, which is pretty average, it comes out to $385 for install alone. It doesn't get much cheaper than that.

He spent all day working on my car and it came out perfect. You just can't beat the price. He installed a new EGR, took off the IACV and cleaned it, Installed a Nissan Quest alternator for me ( PITA if I had to do it), Flex-a-lite Dual Fans and DIf Dual fan controller, and installed my pig nose lip on my silvia front end ( made custom brackets so it doesn't rip off. I have never seen an install like this before I meet him). He spent all day on my car and if I took it somewhere else, it would have cost me at least 3 folds. Everything came out perfect.
The first time I came down, he messed around with my EGR and didn't even charge me. The second trip he did my motor and tranny mounts. He's a bad ass mechanic and my car runs a lot smoother too. I wasn't even paying attention to some details on my car and he pointed it out and what could happen if I didn't fix it. Bump for a legit mechanic.

I would just like to say that Aron is awesome.
He has installed coilovers, a VLSD, and today a Nismo Power Brace. He charges so little for the work that I have tried to give him extra twice now lol. He wouldn't take it though.
This guy is ultra legit and a great mechanic. Has walked through all the installs with me too so I can learn more.
Highly recommend him if you are local. Way cheaper than anyone.

Aron is a very good mechanic and knows what he is doing. He worked on my 240 and did a complete dohc swap from a/c to power steering. He does very clean and professional work. When problems arose he was able to troubleshoot the problems quickly. He also has great prices.
Glad I went to him even if he is a little far from me. Anytime I need anything I will be going to Aron because he is good at what he does and is an honest mechanic.

quick question...my ac hasnt worked since i bought the car. when i press the ac button the light doesnt even go on. the guy said that it was prolly just a fuse. i checked all ac related fuses and relays and they were all good. ive had a few ppl tell me that it is not lighting up because there is no freon in the lines and that there is no pressure. does that make any sense? anyways would you be able to find a solution, if so, please pm me. thanks

A/C jobs get expensive quick guys, if you are really serious then PM me. I do appreciate you bumping the thread, but this would be better discussed via PM. I do have a waiting list though as I have gotten seriously busy in the last couple months.
