Default reputable shop in Atlanta area

I am looking at scheduling a PPI for a car that is currently in the Atlanta area. The owner has had the car serviced at Performance Imports and mentioned Bob Sanderson by name. Anyone know anything about this place, good/bad/indifferent?

Thanks.

Although people have had bad luck with auto atlanta's mail order system, AA did a great job on my ppi. Performance imports is an ok shop, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Auto Atlanta would be your first choice/recommendation?

I was given the understanding that Bob Sanderson is one of the mechanics for The Racer's Group ALMS team. Is there a less than impressive history with this shop?

I have no experience with Jim Ellis, but I would pick AA over Performance Imports.
I took my car into performance imports last summer because I had a delayed oil pressure problem that I couldn't fix. Performance Imports diagnosed it as a broken intake tube while it was indeed a bad oprv (which is what I had orginally thought). I can't blame them too much for misdiagnosing my problem, but it kind of annoyed me that I always had to call them, as they never felt like calling me.

I just picked up a voltage regulator there today. Great customer service and MUCH cheaper than other places here in town.
