Seattle area shop for Redish V3 Subframe fix

Hey folks. I've got the Redish v3 plates incoming.

Anyone else here from the PNW and have a positive recommendation for a shop that to install them?

My recommendation is to ONLY do it with a shop that is familiar with it and has done it before.

I had a local shop that typically works on Porsches do mine, huge facility, widely renown. Within a year it was totally cracked again and I had to pay another shop who knew what they where doing to fix it. That was 8 years ago and it's still great.

The shop that originally did it basically told me I must have caused it to crack because their work is 10/10. When the second shop looked at it they showed me all of the mistakes the first one made. Decided to just pay the money and move forward.

The kicker? The second shop was like 25% less expensive than the first.
