| 350z maintenances, where would you guys go and why ?
Ok, so I'm just about to go for my first tune up and can't decide which shop to bring my 350z to for it's first tune up
PDM racing
Drivehard
Speed Syndicate
Takeda Enterprises
I've heard great things about these 4 shops, so if you guys can give me your opinions that would be great
looking for great service, and reasonable pricing
cheers !

drivehard gets my vote 
they do a lot of G35/350z, as well as the TT 350z shop car itself.
you can pm them if you need anything

If its just fluid change, you can easily do those yourself. At most "tuner shops" they will charge you a pretty high rate on labour

bring it to drivehard good guys there.
honestly i used to work on cars for a living and it's such a bitch doing stuff at home, so freaking messy. sometimes i'd rather just pay the 10-20 extra every 3 months to get someone else to do it.
