PREFACE: So last month I took my car to 249 Drivetrain by my house to get my howling diff fixed and install 3.73's. This was a total failure. The shop refused to see me, honor their warranty or deal with the problem at all. They failed to properly set the crush sleeve and it caused the pinion to come loose and destroy the new gear set in a short couple of hundred miles. That was $800 wasted :-(.

Pyle Brothers review:
This differential shop is by far the most professional I've been to in Houston. In fact it's probably the most professional auto shop I've been to period. Fancy dealers and expensive performance shops may look cooler, but the minute you step into the Pyle Brothers shop you can tell it's a place where people get things done and don't waste time. Pyle Brothers demonstrates exemplary customer service, organization, appointment scheduling, and attitude. They stick to scheduled appointments and their turnaround time is typically same day as your appointment unless there are problems or it's a very large task. The scope of their work ranges from high performance race cars to off road vehicles. Their staff is approachable, not arrogant, and willing to answer questions. They always remained courteous, mature and a pleasure to deal with. No one tried to shove their opinions about my car down my throat like young guys will do at other performance oriented shops. The mechanic that serviced my Camaro was very thorough. He even mentioned that I need new front hubs after he gave the car back to me. I've never seen this kind of professionalism even at major dealers. Their prices are VERY fair. They aren't quite as cheap as no-name hole in the wall shops, but the few extra bucks you spend will be worth it when you aren't waiting weeks to get work done by amateurs.
For my Camaro they installed: GM 3.73 gears, rebuild kit (bearings, seals, etc..), shims, and the driver's side axle. Mechanically the work they did seems great so far. However it's only been about 50 miles so I won't have a full review yet. I will follow up after a couple of thousand miles by editing this review as necessary. If their mechanics are as professional as their office staff I'm absolutely positive there won't be any issues.
