Anyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive painting and minor body work place? I want to have my daughter's 1994 Integra turned into a single color rather than the two tone that it currently is.

Anyone needing oil analysis, coolant analysis, fuel analysis, I can recommend Utility Lab, Inc. On Magnolia. Many years ago it was Associated Labs on Rudy street.

Oils, like motor, transmission, gear lube is $15 per. Need at least 2 oz.
Coolant and Fuel is $25 per. Need at least a pint.

Phase separated gasahol looks like a strong Jack n coke.. Color of iced tea.

Any recommendations for a shop that can repair a sagging headliner? The wife hopped in the Cayman yesterday and the whole thing is sagging with zero warning.

Thanks.

No recent personal experience, but I had some work done by Charlie's off Clinton Highway years ago and it was good. Shop looks like an absolute dump.

American Radio on Kingston Pike.. Ask for Kim. They did the headliner in my old Jag.. and it was better than factory. Not expensive at all!

Thanks guys. I contacted both of these businesses and it seems that they are no longer in the headliner repair business.

American Radio recommended "Precision Window Tint Seats N Stuff" so that's the current plan. I'll update when we have this underway.

Whos the go to for tint? I was going to use FInishing Touch, but they're out a tinter right now

We've been using that place near Turkey creek - right behind Grayson BMW. They have done 4 of our recent cars.

They did the C8 in April and it came out great and was affordable.

Google says they are closed but unless it has happened in the past month, I think they are incorrect. I have used Bud n Pete's on Central for several vehicles. 865-525-1114

Whats everyone paying now for a tire mount and balance in 2024?

I just paid $36 after tax for a single tire mount, no TPMS, no tire disposal. I felt that was a bit high. I guess I'm still used to $20 pre-covid prices? Asking because I am about to mount and balance 12 more tires.

Eric Ahlgren in knoxville is by far the cheapest, he charges $10/wheel for normal sizes. His business is Guilty Garage and they have great wheel and tire prices as well. I got my RPF1's and tires from him last year.

Eric is actually in Oak Ridge. He makes trips to Knoxville on occasion for pick up and drop off.

I used Costco for my RE71s a year ago and took them brand new wheels to mount them on. I don't recall the mount and balance fee but they did take very good care not to scratch the wheels.
