I was told that I need to get new shocks for my car. My local Mazda dealership charges around $1,300 for the work. Any suggestions where I can go for this service and get a better price? Thanks.

Wasn't black roadster doing work on Miatas?
You can pick up some aftermarket KYB's for around 300. shipped off of Ebay.
If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, the guys around here can be coerced into coaching for the price of pizza and/or beer. If you just want to drop it off, check out www.miatasolutions.com -- Stevan is a good guy who does great work for way WAY less than the dealership.
But no matter what, stay away from the dealership for that kind of money!
Another vote for Mr. Boyd @ http://www.miatasolutions.com/
Welcome to MME!
Now that AX season is almost over, you might bribe a few MME members to help you out. Payable in food and drink.
What year is your Miata?
I've got 4 from an 03 LS with 15K on them that you can have for a case of Sam Adams Light.
Yeah, give Stevan a ring, from what I understand he has more time these days, and will do great work for a great price. He's out in Justin!
Do you get the feeling that these guys priorities are:
1. beer
2. beer
3. pizza
4. more beer
5. cars
Someone suggested using Miata Technolgies in Dallas. Ever heard of it?

I'd even let the "beer boys" do it before MT.....
Should I use the forum to contact Mr. Boyd or go through his website?
One other "approved" vendor/installer in the area is Track Dog Racing. He might not have as much open shop time as Miata Solutions, but he does sell the shocks that you will need.
You say that like it's a bad thing...Quote:

Who the hell is Miata Technolgies?

I suspect your Miata would be in better hands with the Sugar Ray guy.Quote:

Stay FAR away.
We have both AGX and Teins available most in stock as well as Ground Control springs if we can help. We also do installation. Visit our site for more information.

Thanks Gary.
I'm interested!
I don't believe the '03 shocks will fit in your 94 without additional parts. It might get a lot more expensive than some beer.Quote:

If ya can't afford the Tiens then everyone loves the KYB AGX shocks, and there are too many gearheads around town to help you install them instead of getting raped on labor at a shop. Plus a good way to meet everyone!;)
Hell, give me $1300 and I'll do the shocks for you and wax the car... ;)
