IRP – IR Performance

IRP are rotary specialists that will maintain, repair, or upgrade any vehicle. I brought in my RX-​8 for some routine maintenance and a compression test. What impressed me was:
Ihor took extreme care when working on my car. For example, he wrapped his socket in painter’s tape before he took my lug nuts off in order ensure he scratch my wheel. He ensures all underbody plastics/​bolts are returned to their original place and HAND tightens them instead of hitting them with an air wrench. He even replaces all the crush washers when changing fluids. Parts and labor pricing are both better than the dealer.
Be aware, going to IRP isn’t the same as going to Acura service, there isn’t an assortment of beverages and magazines for your consumption. It seems that their main business is big builds, so there isn’t a formal waiting area for customers who are having small items done. But, the bright side is that if you’re an enthusiast, you get to hang out with them while they work on your car. If you like dogs, Sasha is happy to play with you as long as you have the energy.
Make sure to schedule an appointment, since I don’t think they take walk-​ins. Also, when you arrive, it’s hard to figure out exactly where to go. I think it’s easiest to just call them once you pull up to the shop.
It’s easily the best shop I’ve been to, and I’m a hobby mechanic who is hard to please. I’m already thinking about what else I should have done to my RX-​8.
