Consumer Comments for Throttle Out Fab

Small, out of the way operation, but Jim and Don(?) are very good, knowledgeable, and will work with you on things like installing customer-supplied parts now and then.
Their prices aren't the cheapest, but they're not the most expensive, either - the quality of their work is worth it to me!
They have worked on our maxi-van and (so far) seven of our cars over the last half-dozen years, and aren't afraid to tell you that your car may not be worth the cost of repairing it, That kind of honesty is a rarity, these days.
My opinion? Call them up, set up an appointment, let them take a look at your car, ask them questions, and decide for yourself.
