Default Good Shop or Mechanic near San Antonio

I am looking for a good shop near or in san antonio that can work on my 2008 silverado. I am looking at having a 4L80e put in with all the components. Also DOD delete, cam, change springs on heads, install a twin turbo system from speed engineering I have a shop to do the dyno but I was wondering if anyone knew of a shop to do this around here. I will have everything in hand ready to roll besides the driveshafts (because I dont know the length) ready to rock and roll.

Check out A+ Transmissions in San Antonio for the 4L80e. They should be able to help you out with that except for the tuning aspect. Give them a call and see what they can do for you, there are 3(?) I believe in the San Antonio area

The rest I am not sure.

Nelson performance can do all that. He even makes a 4L80 harness for the swap

So I messaged him to build a motor and he suggested i go with someone else. i was reading through pages and pages of post to try and find someone and he came up again. I messaged him again to see if he can do this also so now i wait.

What was your motor build? Nelson is not cheap or low budget. He is a quality builder. Fair pricing with great results.

Well I was going to build up a LQ4 block I have to be a little stronger than stock to hold more boost. But since I can find anyone to build it I'm going with my LC9 with 110k on it and gonna leave the bottom end stock and send it. 5.3's are cheap enough and I have that 6.0 block if I can ever find someone to build it up.

I have never used either one of these, but the only other places in town I know of that might be able to help are:

Alamo Speed Shop

LSX Performance by 360 Automotive - Auto Repair Shop in San Antonio (business.site)

siller automotive

Hope you update with what you come up with. I will be looking for a build in the near future.
