Thanks, Sean.

Over the course of a recent week-long road trip to Canada, a small squeak and some slight resistance in my steering developed into a twanging/popping noise and near-binding on left turns. This was three days before I would have to drive back from Toronto to Philadelphia, which would be a serious safety risk.

Normally I would have diagnosed and fixed the issue myself, but obviously I lacked the means to do so on short notice while on a road trip. So, I swung by Scorza's shop and spoke with Sean, who referred me to Nick over at Oakville Motorwerks proper. Nick spent two and a half hours at the end of a business day diagnosing the issue. Based on his advice, I ordered a few parts and dropped the car off with him at the end of the next day. He had it ready by the following morning, well in advance of when I needed it even on my tight schedule. He was correct in his diagnosis, and the steering now feels better than it has since I bought the car almost 60,000 miles ago. The grand total I ended up spending on parts and labor was quite reasonable, even including ludicrous dealership parts markup.

On this diagram, parts #2, #7, #8, #9, and #11 were what Nick replaced.

As important as the price and service were, perhaps the best thing in my memory was the communication. Nick was completely transparent as to what he was doing and why, at every step of the process. This is important to me as someone who usually does his own work. He heard me out, kept me in the loop, and delivered on his promise.

Rewinding a bit, when I stopped by Scorza, Sean welcomed me to his shop and gave me a quick tour. Scorza seems well on its way to becoming a complete and diverse one-stop shop for anything carbon fiber. I saw a variety of projects in process, from automotive products to weather tracking equipment and uber high-end speaker cabinets. Sean, like Nick, was also extremely friendly and open. He gave the impression of someone who is very invested in his company personally as well as financially, and who values good service as an integral part of what he does. If I had the means to engage his shop for some parts for my car, I would do so in a heartbeat.

As a side note, the video on Oakville Motorwerks's front page does NOT do Scorza's E46 M3 exhaust justice. Having heard that car in person, I feel comfortable saying that it is the best sounding street legal E46 I have ever heard -- from idle to WOT/redline, from the inside or the outside.

FWIW.

I see Sean is still having problems returning messages. I left a few including texts and nothing.....

I have patience of a saint but even that's being tested since I have had to put up with quality control issues regarding my CSL diffuser since I had purchased it. This issue is still not resolved Sean.....
