Search for shops that have experience working on YOUR car, not just cars in general. Filter for Services (ranging from basic maintenance to engine swaps), Vehicle Type (vintage Swedish through to new JDM), Ratings, and many other criteria so you’re sure you’re making the right choice
Whether you had a great, terrible or fine experience at a shop, let the world know! Don’t just post to a niche forum, write a detailed review so that the next time someone needs to find a shop fast it’s at their fingertips (and not on pg. 187 of a thread). A simple rating out of five stars isn’t enough to get the full picture of how a mechanic does business, so we have multiple criteria, mandatory commentary and the ability to upload videos and photos to give you as much information as possible

About Top Dead Center
Top Dead Center’s purpose is to allow owners of enthusiast vehicles to identify and connect with high-quality mechanics as easily as possible. Your car is something you care a lot about and you want your mechanic to treat it with the same level of respect that you do. Finding a shop that has the expertise to take care of your car, that is communicative and that treats you like a valued customer can take a long time and usually involves some trial and error
Top Dead Center was built to streamline the process of finding the right shop the first time. It is a platform where you can both review past experiences as well as identify and select new shops, giving peace of mind that you made the right choice before even dropping your car off
