Recommendations for PHX area shop
Looking for a quality shop in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area to work on my 2014 Z/28.
Someone who knows how to track prep a Camaro. Looking for a track alignment, adding camber, developing a relationship... |

We would love to help you out sir! We do all the pre and post track work on quite a few pro auto sports customers. We also are huge into the 1/2 mile events and sponsor the national shifts3ctor event and the local omega motorsports, and the upcoming 1320 streetcar takeover.

J&R has done all my work so far and I'm real happy with the quality of there work. They had a Z28 they were prepping for the track a few months back and they had it on scales to corner balance. They seem to do a lot of Road Course set ups and they have their 5th Gen in the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge. They have quite a few different Z28's on there Facebook page so I know they have worked on quite a few.
They aren't on here but there # is 480 878 8695. They are off the 101 and 7th street. Tell them BigD sent you. |

Cpr or even ums. They are neighbors. Tony knows road racing.

Ok, I'll check out J&R and CPR.
The shops I have talked either have experience with track/road course cars, but non with Camaros... Or have experience with Camaros/LSX engines, but not with track setups. |

The guys at J&R are trying to get me to run at the Optima Qualifier in October. I am setting it up to do more road course stuff so I am looking for more events to attend. |

CPR all the way. I have had my two vettes, and my ZL1 worked on by them.

OK, do any of you guys have an actual track alignment though?
Camber plates, custom mounts drilled, that sort of thing? It seems most of the shops I've talked to, including a couple mentioned above, really are not familiar with track setups. They are experienced with adding power for road use, or cosmetic changes, but not track/racing setups. This car is track car, so I need as much neg camber as possible, slight toe out in the front, etc. |

Wouldn't be a bad idea to at least call Tony@UMS, or see if CPR can partner with him for some help. He is the road racing master around here.
