there is nothing local to me. My most local shops would be (CALIFORNIA)RnR which is 3 hours away, and RRE which is 4 hours away
(PHOENIX) Vivid Racing which is 3 hours away, and AGP that is 3 hours away. I don't really consider that local. I always buy from either RRE or RnR. I get all piping type of products from RnR because they have great prices, and i know Ryan pretty well and he gives me awesome discounts on top of his already low prices. And then if its something else like gauges or turbo timers or oil caps, I get all that stuff from RRE because i know Cory there pretty well and they give me 20% discounts on most stuff because i've done a lot of business there and plus im in the military. And both shops have given me great customer service (except one case with RnR but that got straightened out). I look for a combo of good prices and customer service. I do tend to stay loyal to shops i've had good experiences with, and in return, they've given me great prices and better than usual customer service. Once i move back to MN i might possibly do more business with local shops, but if a local shop is going to charge me 70 bux for something and RRE is going to charge me 60, then ill wait the 3 days to get it in the mail if it saves me 10 bux. But if the local shop says "hey, ill match that price if you do more business here" then ill prolly do more business there because it is local which is always nice. But i will pretty much stick with those 2 shops for a loooong time because of the way they have treated me and because no one yet has beaten the prices they offer me yet. I figured id try out QPR just to see how they are because someday they will most likely be local to me. I haven't received the BOV yet, but from what i hear it is gorgeous. If it is, then that will be a good first impression, and i might do more business there. Prolly nothing big, but little things like if they ever get that catchcan made. stuff like that. but if they never get one made after they said they would, well then ill just have to find sumwhere else to get one. Wow im really rambling on, imma stop now. Sorry for the long post
