    Phoenix Speed Shop LLC is a small family owned business that officially opened in November and has been growing rapidly. I had been debating opening a shop for a couple years now and finally, the time and finances were aligned to commit to it. I'm a body tech that does my own mechanical for over 8 years now and realized that between this forum and my Focus ST group; there was a need for a small shop that people could go to without being ripped off.

    We can do everything except transmission work and paint, but we do know multiple painters we can recommend. Bodywork, engine work/swaps, truck lift kits and we always keep fluids and filters in stock. Home of the 50 dollar OE filter and Penzoil platinum oil change, up to 6 quarts. We also love building weird stuff, just finished a bright purple drift trike that was built and painted 100% in house.

    Check us out on Facebook or hit me up if you have any questions.

    We could paint, but I wouldn't paint a car in my garage lol. No down draft and even with prepping the garage I still ran into a few issues after spraying the trike. Nothing that couldn't buff out, but if a car is being sprayed by my shop it has to be in a professional booth lol.

    El Mirage/Surprise area by Dysart and Waddell and it is, starting small and figured I'd let this business grow as big as it wants to become. If it grows out of control I could easily get an old gas station and quit the corporate body shop job, the GF is pushing for it to get that big but it would be a massive leap and kind of terrifying lol.
    My rule is, if it fits in my garage then it's fair game. Diesel trucks, to a Focus ST, Mini Coopers, BMW's and everything in between!

    Cool, been having a random issue with my 14 F150. Check brake tone comes on, and brakes seem hard to push. But they come back after a few presses of pedal. Turn off the truck and start again light goes out brakes work normal...fluids good. Doesnt happen all the time, happens any weather

    My first question would be, has it had the recall done for the brakes since some 2014 models have a master cylinder issue?
