Default Help:Need reputable mechanic in VB!!!!

I had a good mechanic and he has since left his home shop, so now I need someone in Virginia Beach area to look after my 1999. Anyone have any good ideas? I really do not want to go to the dealership....

Ed has a shop. He is also a forum Supporting Tuner.


Are you looking for a shop or someone who does it on the side? Also are you looking for an independent person, or <as much as people here dis them> a dealership?

Ed is a great guy to work on your car. He is doing all the work on my car and it has been perfect. He has moved his shop (The HP Factory)to Portsmouth, right through the mid-town tunnel. This is a guy you can trust with your car and to give you an honest price for the work.

He's delivering an engine and doing some tuning in Germany right now. He'll be back at the shop on Tuesday.

His name here is EDCMAT-L1.

My car is at his shop now and will be done a few days after he gets back from Germany. It would be nice to pick it up this Saturday. You can meet me out there if you want to check out his shop. I am sure we will be putting my car on the dyno for some tuning. I am shooting for 750ish rwhp this time out.

I am not happy that he has moved to Portsmouth, I would be really upset if he moved further away

Yep, he moved a few weeks ago. His place is pretty easy to get to though. It's right through the midtown tunnel by the marine terminal.

Thanks for all the props guys. We try real hard. The Germany trip was a pretty good success. Our stroker ran its **** off. 160 on the autobahn was a blast. But, as my luck goes, I didnt have the video camera.
We're getting ready to board in Frankfurt. See ya'lls in a few.
Roger, yours should be done by this weekend.
