Don't waste your money and time going anywhere else…read more Had a shop in Plainfield (you figure out the name) working on the car previously. The other shop had me by the Short Hairs as they had screwed it up so badly this past spring I COMPLETLY rewired the car. Originally the previous shop was provided with a new harness and it was such a mess when I took it back the guy that wired it asked who created such a mess. Surprised the car didn't catch on fire. Had to buy another harness as well as replaced the swap LS2 harness out. Add to this the 4-link wasn't rotating correctly which Blackdog straightened out. The other shop also fabed up an exhaust system which fell off on the way to Blackdog, it was replaced by Iggy's, this is what they do and what they have been doing for more than 50-years. Since getting the car back from Blackdog my stomach isn't turning anymore and the car is actually becoming a joy to drive. The rear end gear is howling to beat the band, this is yet another install by the other shop, it will be replaced in the next week. I have documented ALL of the issues resolved that were created by the shop in Plainfield and since corrected, anyone up for a Class Action Lawsuit? Lesson learned, DON'T make the same mistake I did unless you have the money to keep tossing out the window and the stomach to take it. Just start out at Blackdog!

R&M Performance is hands down the best shop in Illinois…read more Honesty, integrity, and transparency are what I value most in the people I do business with--and Rei and Mark truly embody all of these qualities. From the beginning, Rei set the tone by reviewing my project thoroughly, being upfront about costs, and even asking follow-up questions to make sure his team could deliver the work at the highest standard. That professionalism was my first green flag. Mark handled the work on my car and went above and beyond my request. I asked for before-and-after photos to help me track carbon buildup for future maintenance, and not only did he deliver, he provided even more detail than expected. The results spoke for themselves: No more idling during cold starts, City MPG improved from 24-26 to 30-32, when I first bought the car off the showroom floor I was so impressed with the quality and transparency that I immediately scheduled additional maintenance and performance upgrades. It's worth noting that I drive from Libertyville to Palatine--often during rush hour--because the service, professionalism, and results at R&M Performance are far beyond anything else I've experienced. The distance and traffic are never a concern when I know my car is in such capable hands. The service was so good, I even brought in my wife's car. That alone should tell you everything. If you are looking for quality, professionalism, honesty, and reliability, I HIGHLY recommend R&M Performance.
