    Hello NorCal TW, I’m in the Santa Clara area and was wondering what’s the closest shop to have work done, preferably a one stop shop where I can purchase parts along with installation. The objective is suspension, wheels and tires.

    Having this hobby for some years i find it typically more frugal to purchase online and have installed, but some shops although rare can occasionally come out on top if purchasing a good amount.

    Depends what you want done.

    Milogen, Shaffer’s are two. Neither are in Santa Clara tho. Ersini’s can do some things but they are primarily automotive—they’re over near Robert St. there’s a rear end shop here as well.

    Milo or Shaffer’s are more experienced.

    SWAT Customs in Freemont. They hooked me up nicely with suspension, wheels and tires.

    Coincidentally, they are having an event this Saturday where you should be able to see some of their work. I'm planning on being there.

    I forgot about Mark—how could I? What a dick.

    Mark does great work.

    Do NOT go to TWAT Customs. They scratched the shit out of my rims then tried to blame it on me. Also, they backed out of warrantying parts they sold and installed. F@ck them! Have had very good luck and pricing with Beep's.

    Twat is a derogatory term. Why would anyone name their business that?
