Question Shops in So Cal

looking for a reliable shop in so cal to do some installations on an 05 wrx.

also, are shops a good place to buy equipment? or should i buy online and have them install? shops near east, south l.a. are preferred but i am willing to travel to a decent place.

i could probably do most of the bolt on stuff myself but i have no garage space to do it.

tia

looking to do a greddy cat back, kart boy short shifter w bushings, and a turbo guage. possibly a cold air intake, haven't heard enough to convince me on the latter. i have heard a lot of folks say they aren't worth it.

I installed my own cat-back, short shifter and bushings, and cai. I had to use the cai, due to the piping of the fmic. Anyway, I wouldn't mind helping out, but I dont have garage space either.

I've had work done by Harman Motive in Torrance and Speed Factory in Industry. I'd recommend those two shops. Harman isn't too far from south LA, but Speed Factory is a little bit of a drive...
