The LIC crew really sets the standard when it comes to professionalism and workmanship. Hands down the best shop around.

 

When my subie is sick I take it to Dr. LIC

*That should be a ****ing T-Shirt!*

 

That honest and upstanding guy Steve at Suby Specialties?

Good thing he's down there, and not up here. Otherwise I'd be torn by which shop to take the car to when it needs something!!

If you can't already tell, YES, he's the only other shop in the United States I'd simply hand the keys to, and have him call me when it's done.

 

I'm starting to think it should be a bumper sticker - "If broken down, tow car to LIC in Novato, CA"

 

Greg, glad everything is ok with Subed. I think you've sold me on where to take my car for the 30k service, but you'll probably have to entertain me for a few hours while it's being worked on,

 

I don't think you'll have a problem being entertained. Between D-man, and a couple of guys who drop by on an almost daily basis down there, you should be kept ROFL'ing most of the day. If they aren't entertaining enough, give me a call...

 

Thank you, sir.

 

just noticed this thread...thanks for the kind word guys, we do our best to do our best. In a perfect world that would be 100% of the time but being as we aren't, we give 100% at all times.

Thanks for the nice write Roo and anytime we can help you guys, you know where we are at (even if like Daniel says its a trek but sometimes things are worth going the extra mile, I let others be the judge of that in regards to us)

we appreciate the support!

I'm smarter than I look!

 

Now if we could just talk LIC into opening a satellite shop in say..the east bay

 

It's so worth the drive to novato. I wish I could do it more than I do. I used go much more often when I was working for Joe and in school. (and had more freetime)

 

There was never any doubt - it's just the shop who installed it made the mistake of assuming that Bank 1 must be on the driver side of the vehicle...

...which, if you're in Japan, it IS on the driver side of the car.

 

I don't know how we'd go about cloning Adam, though...

 

honestly I get asked a lot if we would ever expand, build a larger place....become 10k sq. ft. and 20 lifts, really all ends of the spectrum.

here is how I look at it. I like that its me and Adam, it may be small, niche, and we can only accomodate so many but the fact of the matter is we have our system down...we are about as efficient as it comes (for 2 guys). We do complete motor builds in under 1 week (generally its 4 days to be honest), we book appointments to the minute, we stick to a schedule, and we focus on each and every customer.

I'm not a guy who considers success by having a massive shop, with uddles of employees, and tons of quality control out the window (can you have it all...sure to an extent). I know what we do and don't do best here. If you need services done, brake jobs, oil changes, everyday maintenance stuff to full intericate diagnostics done...you will have a complete package from us.

Some folks claim to be the end all be all for everything....I will never say anything like that b/c I don't suscribe to it. We can be good at most but only great at a few. I believe Adam (not just b/c he's my brother) is a really fantastic "technician", which I feel these days is a very rare find.

I guess its all on how you measure success

thanks again guys, you are what make us

I gotta be honest, I saw the picture in the other thread and the motor was being cooled on the wrong side. It was too late to say anything, though.
