Parts come fast, labour pricing is cheap for quality of work.. and their work has proven itself over and over again...
Most serious tuners from across canada and the states have something to do with G5....
If i had another honda, i would definately build it AGAIN with them....
edot: Also the guys that work there are really friendly + willing to give any help you need.

However, AJR is known for importing J's Racing, Spoon, Amuse, etc in the West Coast. Sometimes, we have to go through AJR to get JDM OEM Honda parts.

Garage Five, hands down.
Super cool guys, and they know they're stuff. A very honest shop, no BS. Been taking all my hondas there, and will continue to do so for as long as I own one. |

Honda/Acuras mechanics are pretty rare around here...you probably have to special order your parts from japan. my ford mechanic told me he would never touch a honda because those things are just total shitboxes. http://www.vancouvercivics.com/forum...lay.php?fid=52
