What sucks about McNews Automotive and FSwerks... is that they are awesome BUT they are both about 1,500mi away from Houston.

Is there any good shop in Texas, or at least somewhat close, where they know they way around Focus? I know a good shop in Houston, they are expensive, professional and honest, but they are general mechanics and won't do any custom work. I'm looking for a place that would help me go over and diagnose my SVT engine, tune it, and maybe even do some custom work on it.

I also need to find a good TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST who can work on our rare SVT Getrag and could maybe even install LSD in it.

you can always try giving Bumbera's in katy a call. they are a legit outfit. they build straight up race cars and still dont cost you an arm and a leg to do regular maintenance on peoples cars. they work on both my mustang and my focus, and are honestly the only shop i trust in houston. also theyre a west houston muscle supporter, and being one of the biggest car clubs in houston, they dont want to upset any of their customers that are in the club IE: me lol

So car was dropped off at the dealer by auction place. As feared the tow driver pulled off the lip on the drivers side at the the wheel well openeing. Ripped the screws out so now it hangs on the corner. He also pulled the bumper apart from the fender. There is now a 1/4" gap there cuz it pulled the mounting screws out of the fender. Took pics and emailed them to adjuster to let her know the auction company tow driver did this and that I have pics to show it was ok b4 and a pic showing the tow arm on his truck squishing my lip and pulling the bumper. And you could also see drag marks on my tires that weren't there b4.

The guy who towed me home had no problems and didn't even touch the any part of the body with his setup. And he used blocks to raise the car so his tow arms wouldn't touch anything accept the tires.

Went there, spoke with Craig. They are good guys, but they don't rebuild trannies themselves.
Then I spent whole day driving around from place to place looking for one competent specialist.... well and I'm still looking :/

I go to a place here in League City called Dynamic Solutions. Very trustworthy and not expensive at all. Try giving them a call.
