Actually a little better then mid 9's now!

I also wouldn't call them a no-name shop. I just haven't heard a whole lot of reviews. The few I've read have all been good though. And their basic rebuild package is just over 200 less then Shep's.
Shep Trans - Standard Rebuild = $945 (add $475 for the 4-spider)
DogBox - Standard Rebuild = $725 (add $400 for a 4-spider)
Maybe KevenGSX knows a little about them, since he's East???
