Best bet to find those guys is to ask around at car clubs or car shows. In my experience, anyone who has employees and is paying retail rental rates for a big shop downtown is going to need to charge more than you want to pay.




One of the pitfalls going this route is if they're operating with no license or insurance, and "whatever" might happen, the money you thought you might be saving, could be for nought...
I've know a few guys that went this route, some make out great, some not so good regardless of the "glowing recommendation" they got from other enthusiasts
