"I drive a 95 Integra SE. I’m all over the Team Integra and Honda forums so I know a thing or two about my car. I have been to many different shops and installers in the past. (From Sears to Firestone to Local Shops to Tuner Shops etc...)

I noticed that Tirerack had Epic Auto Care as a featured installer so I thought I’d give them a try. From the moment I got there I noticed the shop was super clean the staff was professional and knowledgeable Even their receptionist/cashier (Crystal) knew her stuff!!... And their prices were all standard and fair. (No estimates or BS you get from some local mechanics). Their equipment was top notch and modern too...

I purchased the Koni Str.T shocks for my Integra with the Eibach Pro Kit. Let me tell you STAY AWAY FROM KONI STR.T (I had nothing but problems with them and Tirerack and Koni fail to believe it was faulty shocks they sent me and still don’t want to refund my money. (Koni has major problems just read up on the forums).

But anyway getting back on course these guys replaced the Koni''s that were completely non-drivable and replaced them with a recommended good set of KYB GR2s installed the springs and even pointed out some potential issues that might affect the car soon. I also ordered some aftermarket parts through them SKUNK2 stuff... (Their prices were great too better than online)

So.... I came back a week later and did some major tuning work to my car. I was there for like 10 hours... they ordered different parts for me 4 times never got annoyed that I kept adding on stuff for them to do. Their installers (Anthony Louie and Brian and others) know Integras INSIDE / OUT and trust me if you’re a forum head like me you know when someone knows what their talking about...

Everyone there is a car enthusiast like me and they know what they’re talking about. While there I saw pictures of the owners previous NSX Hummer H2 I saw an STI a swapped WRX Integra Type S DC5 Civic SI''s GSR Civics with swapped engines and more...


Ron the parts guy ordered parts for me (quality stuff not sketchy AutoZone crap) and it was delivered and the installers put it on the SAME DAY. Kevin the owner was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. (He personally test drove my car after all the work was done. (How many places do you know do that?)

Let me tell you that this shop is worth the drive no matter where you are if you want your tires / springs / audio systems / suspension / braking / tune-ups / swaps / etc... For your Honda then look no further. These guys even do JDM Engine swaps... crazy...
I ended up replacing axle’s valve cover gaskets, cam seal shocks/springs bleeding brakes and ABS lower control arms spark plugs and wires/ lower tie bar and more...
These guys know cars they know good quality aftermarket parts them only sell and install quality aftermarket parts they run a clean shop professional and their pricing is cheap for the class A work they do.
Don’t even bother going anywhere else at least not in Jersey trust me this is my 6th car I’ve been to all the shops and I finally found a place that knows how to take care of their customers and know their Tuners inside out.
But as far as Tirerack goes... stay away from Koni it’s not worth the hassle. Stick with Bilstein or KYB.
If you treat your car better than your GF (Like I do) then give the guys at Epic a call... you won’t regret it. I usually don’t bother with online reviews but I just want to spread the word and prevent people from wasting their time going to other shops...
