Hi Guys,

Has anyone had any experience with this shop?

I just recently moved to sans souci and looking for a place to do service at.

Let me know if anyone knows anything good or bad about the place; looking at their website they specialise in fords/holdens though...

my mate went there and dropped alot of money (around 40k) into his s15

it had half the parts on it that they sold him and what it did have was no name when it was all meant to be brand name

stay away from there if you have an import

Speak to a fella by the name of "gee 200" on NS.com

He seems to know them quite well... if you're after a laugh then I'd suggest looking up some topics regarding CV

it's a bit hard to search on such a small business names like C & V, but I guess I'll stay away from them...

yeap, I was thinking of it, the only issue with them is that I've heard they are really really really really expensive comparing to other "performance shops", don't know if it's true though...

Prices at ISMR is pretty good and maybe "pricey" for a reason ---> they know what they're doing!! My cousin all his work on his Accord Euro and Evo 9 there with no problems and recieved and had installed all named parts that he purchased from them.

No dodginess from what I've heard

They also have a dyno for tuning or dyno runs.

People are obsessed with ISMR...

How about Proconcept, better work than IS...
