To say I'm ecstatic to have my s2000 back on the road after having it sit unused for a very long time (transmission went out) would be an understatement and it's all possible thanks to Alan and the friendly staff at Formula S. Finding a used AP2 transmission was hard enough, but hoping it would work once I've paid to buy/ship/install it was pretty intimidating for a newbie like me, but Alan made it possible for me to go through with it all. How? First, he patiently spend time with me over the phone explaining what to expect and what to think about ahead of time before swapping out a transmission (without ever feeling pressured), made me confident that they are experts when it comes to working on s2000's (I had read about them in s2k forums and everyone said only great things about them) and when I was finally ready he looked over the photos/listing on Ebay and gave me his input and the confidence for me to buy it, texted me photos when it arrived and gave me a phone call to discuss a few concerns that were not visible in the Ebay listing's photos. I decided to go ahead and install it. The very next day he told me everything worked great and when I went to pickup the car they even helped me load my old transmission into my car and gave me a briefing on my car before I left the shop, I mean seriously, these guys are professional from A-Z in every sense of the word. There's a ton of mechanic shops where I live but I still decided to tow my car 45 minutes away to take it to these guys. My entire experience was MORE than a 10/10, because not only do they awesomely do everything you expect a mechanic to do, but they went the extra mile at every possible opportunity. Professionalism pre/during/post job 10/10, Honesty 10/10 (never tried to upsell and super transparent) Reasonable prices 10/10 Fast Service 10/10 and on top of it all they are all super nice guys who loves cars, what more can you ask for?! I got giddy like a kid in a candy store when I went to the shop and saw 7-8 s2000s being worked on all in the same place!!! I rarely ever write reviews due to time constraints but these guys deserve my time when it isn't required just like they gave me their extra time even when it wasn't required for them to do so. One reviewer said something along the lines of Formula S being driven by providing excellent service first versus being driven by just trying to make as much money as possible and I got that same exact feeling about them. Just nice, honest car guys. Don't think twice, these are your go to guys, you will love them. They also specialize at Toyota GR86's. Read both their stellar yelp and google reviews and read about them in the forums (they were formerly known as SoCal 2k). Alan, I bought my car brand new off the lot in 2004 and after 170k blissful miles I thought that I was going to be forced to sell my car and just the thought of that was so depressing to me. Sunny soCal day, top down, music up, revving out all the gears, I was smiling ear to ear on the entire drive back home yesterday and am now looking forward to many more years of enjoying this car and it's all due to your kindness/patience in helping me out. You and your staff deserve all the best and all the success, very much appreciate you guys, take care! -John. read more
