Looking for Tampa Valve Blasting

WilliamS · 05-02-2013, 01:41 PM

I remember some time last year there was going to be a group for $300 a head the walnut blasting. Now that my car is put back together and running like it should Im looking to get this done. Anyone local to Tampa I would be interested in getting this done within the next month, sooner if the price is similar of course. Im open to suggestions.

I had mine done at European Performance in St. Pete. Walnut blasting, valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket for $1100 IIRC. I also got an email from Bert Smith a few weeks ago offering intake valve cleaning for $450.00.

Bert Smith had my car when it was getting a new transmission only last month and he told me the intake cleaning would clear near $1000. I thanked him and moved on.

If yours is CPO I would look into getting it done at the dealership. People have said that it isn't covered, but my dealer did it two weeks ago and the warranty paid.

What problems were you having why they cleaned the valves, how many miles, which dealership?

Rough idle and backfiring during acceleration that was so bad it felt like the transmission knocking. 65k and was taken to the dealership in Naples.

I had walnut blasting done at Bert Smith not too long ago for $450. I think they still have that "service special" running. Check out their website and look under service specials. They showed me the air intake valves both before and after walnut blasting. I got it done at about 55K miles and I'll say it's totally worth it.

Maybe us Tampa guys should lean on Bert smith for a group special
