Location for Yaris mod installation

Hey everyone,

Just curious if anyone has a solid place where they take their Yaris to have mods installed, in the Bay Area that is. Any info would greatly appreciated

I approve of this discussion. Best thing would be a local member with a big garage or someone who owns their own shop and wouldn't mind helping out other local members.

I know YarisSedan works in a shop on the El Camino and he helped me out with my exhaust install and did a great job. You could probably get in touch with him to arrange something. He's been really busy lately though so you should check up with him.

Hey everyone,

For future reference when I decide on what I want to do. I would gladly pay someone that is from these boards to help install future upgrades such as lowering springs, pulley set etc. I can do basic maintenance but that's as far as it goes. Thanks for responses.

hit me up, I've already done all of that myself. We have frequent modfests at my house for the local Scikotics chapters as well as California Import Alliance.

Auto Innovations FTW....sorry but one guy there does an A+++++++++ job on my past car installs. They install and work mostly on springs, exhaust, alignment and other few things.... i think they do coilovers too? Correct me on that Ric~

Speed Element = bigger complicated mod installs.
They mostly work on Subaru and Mitsubishi Evolution cars, but if you print out a DIY for them (in color) from Yaris World, they will be more than happy to install for you.....
They have installed my under drive pulleys....

So I bought the Tanabe DF210 lowering springs from Garm. Didn't feel like waiting to save the moola so I just used a credit card

+1 for yarissedan =) Also for auto innovations too. When i had my 240sx they did all my installs. New springs, swaybar, strut bars, intake etc.

If you bring your car to my shop on a weekday i can hook you up on a good price for any install. I am looking to purchase a air compressor for my house. So on my days off i do sidejobs as well from my house for even a better price.

I got some re-badge-ing to do as well as a fresh set of DF210 and a CF spoiler I need to install and drill holes for.

edit: YarisSedan agreed to help me out. Now I just gotta do the hard part and wait till I can find time to get the work done!
