SF Auto Shop to Recommend

Can anyone recommend a shop in San Francisco that has worked on or has plenty of experience working on our cars.

I finally got my springs and I'm looking for a shop to install them. I thought about doing it myself, but too much involved and don't really have the time do it myself.

Please include other shops too, like a tint shop.

Thanks, guys and/or gals....

March 3 = Rip off
everybody know they don't know **** about modding
I'll say give it to the pro for the foot work
Kartoyz at Fremont does really good job,
you can also try other suspension specialist in the city
i got mine done at rotaryextreme

for $100, that's not too bad at all, but of course diy is still better since you get to know your car more. unless you don't have the space, tools, time or the know-how...
I installed my tanabe springs ans sway bars this weekend, took me 1 whole day including stainless steel brakelines installation.

From what I have researched on here and asked about:

Have not heard of anyone in SF yet.
