IAG or Agile and why?

[Stigator]

I just wanted to hear if anyone has good/bad experiences with one or both shops.....who has better pricing -service-advice-over all customer satisfaction?

[mcperson2k]

Agile Auto? I think they are the best, they know their stuff and Hill is a stand up guy. Him and his wife are great and super informative about everything.

A friend of mine was sponsored by Agile while he did autocross. He had nothing but good things to say about them. I have never been to either shop but I’m just basing my opinion off of someone I could trust when it came to tuning a cars suspension.

I have multiply friends who strongly suggest IAG. They have the most top of the line stuff and do everything in house. I'm hoping to go down there soon to get a new alignment since mine is all messed up.

Nobody is ever going to say something bad about their sponsor.

[Philly03wagon]

you have a good point there.



ok, please disregard my statement as I have no clue about either LOL

He is FAST! That means he knows whats up-

Thinking about giving agile a try....not 100% sure yet though

Agile is fantastic. Took my none Subaru and my friends dad and him both have Subarus and go there. Hill is a fantastic mechanic and tuner with great results. We bombarded Hill with questions that we had and he was able to answer them in terms that the simplest car guy can understand and that are correct. Very friendly service. My choice, Agile

If you don't mind me asking, what type of work did you guys have done to your cars?

[AutobahnRacer]

Maintenance (bushing replacements, mounts etc..), performance upgrades (clutch, short-shifter etc..) and dyno tunes which has yielded great results.

Were going tomorrow!:banana:

[Brianb351]

Had great experiences w both, though i've only bought parts from IAG. My motor was built at Agile and i couldnt be more satisfied. Been down to the shop for everything from a catch can to a forged motor build and subsequent tune. I have never anything negative happen as a result of going to Agile.

[Stigator]

I set up an appointment with Agile on the 24th

[AutobahnRacer]

Let me know how it goes. Hill is a great guy, you will be very satisfied.

[Stigator]

They were very friendly and had tons off nice cars everywhere.....The part that sucks is the bad news they gave me.....I need a clutch and need to have the trans tore down. I knew I needed a clutch but I really don't wanna have my trans rebuilt

[AutobahnRacer]

Obviosuly not telling you what to do but Hill knows his stuff. If something is not worth doing, he won't tell you to do it just to get your money. He's got more business than he knows what to do with hence why he rarely has dyno days. He is always swamped, but I am glad you had a great expierience while you were there.

[Stigator]

I think I'm going to get estimates from andrewtech and rallispec for the trans rebuild. I'm sure this project is gonna hurt my pockets either way...

[Stigator]

I contacted Andrewtech & Rallispec by email to get estimates on the trans rebuild...Sam at Andrewtech emailed me back within 2-3 days, I never heard back from Rallispec so I tried calling . The line was busy so I left a message with my name number and what I needed done. Over a week later still no response from Rallispec.... So I set up my appointment with Andrewtech on the 31st (they were booked out a month) I guess now I just have to sit back and wait

[Ender81]

I had my trans built by Andrewtech and was very pleased with the results so you should be fine.

I would suggest IAG. I went to Agile for Hill to tune my car the first time and check for boost leaks and i was not satisfied. When my car was on the dyno, it was puffing some black smoke so Hill said that he was not comfortable with tuning my car until i get a compression test for $100. So i went ahead and got the compression test. Turned out my car had perfect compression so we went ahead and finished tuning it. A few months later I added a few more power upgrades and decided to go to IAG and got George Carillo to tune my car. I got IAG to do the pre-dyno test and they found a boost leak from a hold in my intake manifold that Agile did not find. Later on, George tuned my car and made a **** ton of more power on less boost than Hill. I felt that IAG was more welcoming and friendlier than Agile......just my 2 cents

Dropping my car off @ Andrewtech on Thursday :) Yaayy for the 4 hour ride

I have heard nothing but great things about Andrewtech. Out of the few Subaru shops I've dealt with Andrewtech's customer service is untouched.

Are you serious with this statement? Ever think that the boost leak happened due to your upgrades or something else? That's a strong statement to make without any proof that this did not happen later down the line, your post even says a few months later.

[Stigator]

Didn't Artie (currently at IAG) used to work at Agile? Does anyone know when he left and/or why he left? If it is the same guy, who builds the motors at Agile now?
