Well put Jody.....it is amazing some of the horror stories that have come out of some of the guys working out of a carport next to their house..........
Example - Setting up a gearset on the wrong carrier (ignoring the carrier break for the particular axle) because "that's what the customer brought them"........Do you really think 0.020-0.040" backlash is okay?
Remember you are also paying for service from a shop that is going to stand behind their work........
Support the reputable, supporting vendor shop in your area.......whether is be ECGS, Rides, RSP, Carolina Truggies, U-Joint, Olivers, etc..........if you need to save up a few $$ to have a quality job done, it will be worth the wait.
