Minicorsa Rocks!

I drove down to L.A. from Vegas on Friday for some suspension work.Danny at Minicorsa installed Koni Yellows,Ireland fixed plates,TSW Damper, urethane lower motor mount.This was the first time I've been to Danny's shop.Let me say ,that If you live in L.a. area and need a straight shooting,fair priced,FFFAAASSSTT! mechanic....go to MiniCorsa in Van Nuys.I left the shop and drove down Coldwater Canyon.What a handling difference.Anyone out there with TSW springs and looking for next upgrade,the Koni's play wonderfully with 'em.WOW! what a responsive ride.Tight steering rack feel.Flat as a pancake cornering with the Ireland plates+ 21 mm rear sway.Everything feels stitched together with motor mount and TSW damper......nice little canyon beast

Danny would be much cooler if he would pick up the phone...
Honestly it was my bad, Silly service provider having issues with long distance.
He did my engine mount and fuel filter today in 15 min. Flat out amazing.

Danny is awesome We live 100 miles away and we won't go anywhere else. He installed our full exhaust, cam, pulley, and thermostat in less than 4 hours and it was great work. We definitely have the stickers on our car

Don't get me started.

But all kidding aside Minicorsa and Denny is the shizzle. The service and the prices are unbeatable. Unlike other shops appointments are kept and noon does not mean 2ish. He constantly calls me to come get stuff done that I forget I mentioned to him in passing. Simply unbelievable.
