Just got my intake valves cleaned!!

Chillin335 · 05-13-2013, 03:32 PM

I had just purchased this car a couple weeks ago with 42k miles on it. i heard that these cars are direct injection and from past experience know that there can be issues, read reviews online about carbon buildup on the intake valves. since i just bought this car want it to be running perfectly before i install a jb4. so i looked around and the cheapest i can find to get the service done was $450 and the most expensive was $900

Several people pointed me in the direction of a guy by the name of sammy. spoke to him, answered all my questions and gave me an astonishing price of $250

. Met up with him at his shop and i was in and out in about 3 hours!
the car runs a lot smoother and Feels like a whole new car and LOL and i just bought it! he replaced a bunch of vaccume lines as well for free!!

honest guy and knows his stuff his car is a beast too

here are some before and afters

Sammy is a good person to know. I highly recommend him.

dave1078 · 05-14-2013, 07:28 AM

That's some nastiness on the before pictures. Guess I might need to get mine done soon too.

sakiv · 05-14-2013, 02:24 PM

I'm going to see Sammy in June, can't wait to get this done.

josh-W · 05-23-2013, 12:00 PM

Can I have sammy's contact number or email or website..

Thanks!

maximus2000 · 05-27-2013, 11:34 AM

What's this mechanic's phone number?

The Ghost · 05-27-2013, 01:41 PM

PM sent w/ contact info.

He did a good job on mine last December.

AcidLotus · 05-27-2013, 05:26 PM

Please PM me Sammy's contact info as well. This sounds like something I'm going to need done soon as I'm at 60K.

TXWatchGuy · 05-27-2013, 11:03 PM

Jeez.. Those look bad. I have 38k on mine right now and was planning on waiting for a while, but now I'm wondering if I shouldn't get it taken care of. Car starts immediately, no stumbles, seems to be making good power. Hmpf...

Timujin · 05-27-2013, 11:58 PM

Can these be cleaned "Italian" style? Maybe at a track day or something? That would be more fun.

Man just wait until you get jb4 installed

when he did my intake valves he also just went ahead and installed my jb4 and intakes at the same time. The difference was shocking

jerod.parr · 06-04-2013, 03:19 PM

could you send me his contact infromation as well. I need to get this done

SGM335 · 06-04-2013, 11:09 PM

Sammy is pretty quick too!! I was in and out in an hour and a half!

Lol that's what she said...

But seriously he's probably done it about a million times!

sakiv · 06-09-2013, 08:57 PM

Got my intake valves cleaned by him on Saturday. He did a great job and was super quick. He is very knowledgeable and skilled. Took him a little under 2 hours. You cannot beat this deal anywhere.
