I started going to Inland Empire Performance in Ontario last year since its so close to my house. The guy Alex knew what he was doing and got the boat dialed in...

Thanks guys. These are all great suggestions. What would you want to know, if anything that is of the most importance to you? For example, years of experience, range of work, do you prefer a specialized place or full service, would you prefer a shop that can work on all types of engines or just the type that you have? What other items are important to you?
