Good shop for replacing CV joint/axle?

[PhunkyStamos]

So I was under my car the other day and noticed that the CV boot is ripped in half and throwing up grease everywhere making a damn mess of everything. Does anyone know a good shop that won't ream me to get it worked on? I was just gonna take it to the Good-year or Butler Tire down the street but I thought I'd try here first. It would also help if they can work on lowered cars and not mess them up cause mines pretty low.

Also do they have to replace the whole axle or can they do just the joint? I've always wondered that, I heard that you could just do the joint and boot and not have to replace the whole thing. BTW it's the side attached to the wheel not the tranny.

Thanks
Robert

Yeah I was there the other day, thats kind of a drive though. I don't need anything special just OEM quality, I guess I would buy it at a auto parts store and let them install it?

Tracy I could of sworn I've seen your car before. I think it was like a week or 2 ago you were pulling out of the Phipps Plaza parking deck onto peachtree rd, I'm pretty sure thats the only time I've seen a pink inspired EVO :D

LOL! That was me! We were eating at Twist! YUM!! We live downtown.

Anyways Mainstream is a good place. Dive=less overhead=less $$$ for you. Especially for OEM shit! I would usually say us, but I don't think you want to wait 3 weeks for a CV change

Ah cool that was you, yeah I live in Buckhead right near roswell rd and piedmont, and what's Twist anyway? Is it near the target or Filines basement? I was in a bright red prelude if you remember, I was about to go ship some springs at the Kinkos next to circuit city.

I guess I'll pm Mike with what I want and see what price he gets me.

Thanks!
