Anyone in the vicinity of San Antonio???

I've seen three GenIII's and about five GenII's, SOMEONE's gotta know where I could get my car worked on!

Surely you have a Ford Dealership local?
Derrick, who lives in Austin, always drove his SHO's into houston to have Sergio work on them. If I don't do the work myself, that's the only mechanic who'd touch my car.

Unfortunatly, the LSSHOC doesn't have a large following in San Antonio, so I'm not aware of any known 'good' shops to have work performed.

I guess perhaps it's time that San Antonio started to have a following...

I'll help round some people up, maybe the next show oughtta be down here to generate interest.

Yes, there is a Ford dealer not ten minutes from my door, but I know better than that.

I'm looking for someone to do my Roush spring install, perhaps a UDP as soon as I buy one.

My choice is Sergio in Houston. He is the ONLY person that will EVER touch my SC sho.
Very much worth the drive wherever you live (I live near San Marcos), knows the car inside and out. Especially easy drive for you, just hop on I-10.

More power to you. I wish there were more SHO owners excited about a car club, unfortunatly, I rarely meet any of them.

Well, I feel as passionate about letting Scotty work on mine. I'm sure Sergio is awesome, but Scott is the only person that will touch my SHO!!!

I have only worked on the "old" V6 SHO engines. The V8 is an unknown to me.

I am surprised to see that there isn't much of a following for SHO's down here, I see them all the time.

My car doesn't need anything in terms of maintanance, but I have those Roush springs to install soon and I want to get a UDP for it, I was hoping to find some shop that would do these things with some background knowledge of SHO's. I don't think I'll trust these things to the dealer, and I don't want to get ***** by some shop who would claim that my car is a "special package" kinda car that requires a higher cost to fix it.

I'm with Jeremy at this point. Given both Scott's track record and experience (and what he's done to my SHO already), he's about the ONLY one I'd let get personal with my SHO. You go beyond my intake and I might slap your hand unless you're Scott! hehe.

Sergio IS awesome. I've found if you hang around someone that's been working on these cars since they were first introduced, you learn alot. I believe every time I go down to the shop and talk with Sergio, I find out something new about the SHO. I'd say we Texans are really lucky to have two talented guys that know so much about the SHO. I'm glad one lives in my city.
