When I first bought my car in '09, a friend told me not to get the clear mask from the dealership, but to go to 503, and no one else for any additions regarding my car. Sure enough, I went there 2 weeks after I got the car, and Tim, the owner, welcomed me very professionally. Ever since that day, 503 has been my only go to place for any aesthetics regarding the car. I decided to put tint a few months later, and sure enough their service exceeded my expectations. \r

I have contacted Tim a few times regarding exhaust systems, and he spent a good chunk of time with me on deciding which one to choose. Him and I sat down and watched YouTube videos, and with his sense of expertise, he helped me pick the right one. I didn't think twice after I got his advice, and sure enough, the sound was PERFECT, everybody who's heard it loved it. \r
\r
Unfortunately, the manufacturer of the system had an exclusive deal with another shop for Oregon customers, and wouldn't ship it to anyone else. But Tim still recommended the one he felt best fit the car. So, I ordered the exhaust (per Tim's advice), and had it mounted, but the tips were not symmetrical, went back to said shop, and they over adjusted it which still left them asymmetrical a little tiny bit (a big no-no in 503 Motoring's eyes). It wasn't too bad, but you want to make sure that when you spend money to improve your car, you really are improving with all levels. It's clear that my expectations were set by 503 Motoring's attention to detail, and that the other shop did not have the same standard as the 503 Motoring team.\r
\r
On another note, Tim has shared my pain when I had small incidences with my car, and has always given me great advice. I always felt that Tim viewed me as a friend, not just a customer. I've come to his shop various times just to have a conversation with him about the car even when it was out of a business interaction.\r

Tim has also personally helped me the Vag-Com codes since I didn't have the cable, and made the effort to meet me and improve some of the commands of the coding. Even when the dealership reset all the commands, I came by and Tim happily did that for me. \r
\r
When I decided to sell my car, I contacted Tim, and he invited me to the shop to have a little discussion on what I should do, and to what extent I should touch up the paint, and get rid of the small scratches depending on the offer I had in hand. His professional opinion helped me sell the car. I sold it a couple days ago. I loved the 503 Motoring brand, that I personally asked Tim for their license plate holders to put on my car :D.
