    I'm located in central VA typically around Chesterfield, Midlothian, and Amelia area. I have my own garage and lots of car know how. Done multiple installs on multiple makes of cars. I've done installs including, but not limited too, coil overs, springs, bushing refreshes, timing belts, acc belts, head units, speakers, subs, amps, building sub boxes intakes, full exhausts, just about anything after market wise I've installed. I'm willing to help people out to help save on the cost for the $100+ shops are charging just for labor. I'm very flexible on schedules and can work something out with anyone's schedule. Can aid in installs if you just need a hand to help out or do a full installation for you, like stated previously I have my own garage and equipment. I am able to do just about anything on any type of car old or new installing wise. Willing to help people out in the central VA area, also willing to drive around to others if just need help and have their own garage / tools (NoVA, MD, NC, WV, surrounding areas). If you are interested in having something done or have any questions about anything feel free to contact me at (804)437-0273 text is preferred, if calling please leave a voice mail if I don't pick up and will get back to your promptly. I'm very friendly and willing to help anyone out even if they just have a question about something or a product feel free to ask. Just looking to help people out and give them some hands on know how as well if desired. I've been into cars and worked on my own cars and others cars for years now just looking to help people out like stated before so give mea call or text and we can work something out willing to do just about any make or model and any work to a car.

    Thanks, Jeremy.

    Thank you sir, I'm just a huge car enthusiast, this has been my passion since I was about 13. I'm just trying to help people out, I know from personal experience shops hit the bank hard sometimes. Dont get me wrong i know there are still some really nice shops out there. Just looking to help people be a DIY and make some Dub friends at the same time.

    I'm free Thursday through Sunday this week and garage is clear, and gas tank will be full so can travel to you as well. Anyone needs any help or anything installed this week let me know via text or PM. Also will get parts or use yours whichever preferred method.

    Not too far, hour and a half or so. Like I said I can come to you, so far I've gone to Woodbridge and Williamsburg to help people just let me know. Any questions feel free to text me.

    I haven't made it to one yet, had a few people asking me to go. Just was hard to fit in my schedule at the time. Hopefully I can get out to one sometime soon. Even though I sold my MkIV recently but I'm sure I'll get another one soon enough. Ever need any help in the future or just to talk cars feel free to hit me up!
