Natural Aspirations

Awesome service! Did a dyno day with some of my buddies and I couldn’t be happier, the owner Chris seems to be on top of things and handled everything great and he was very friendly and you can just tell that he’s a true car enthusiast. He knows how to do things properly even down to using the right socket to remove your lug nuts so he won’t scratch your wheels while taking them off!

Set up a small Dyno day with Matt and Chris yesterday. Very professional place. Chris is very knowledgeable and knows what he’s doing. I didn’t make the power I was hoping for but that’s because of my car lol. I will be back!

This shop is not reliable! He burned my car’s computer that I just had paid $ 1000. He should have known better to not connect wires causing to burn my computer! I took my car in running and he had my car towed to my house! What kind of business tows your car home without finishing it. I was paying him along the way as he asked. I would not recommend this place to anyone. If he is still in business it’s because he has some knowledge but not very much!!!

These guys have a state of the art facility with major projects in the works. Chris knows his stuff and there was a Nissan Skyline R33 they were working on while I was there. This place is highly recommended.

I was in a pinch and Chris from Natural Aspirations managed to squeeze me into the schedule on short notice. He is very professional, knowledgable and easy to talk to. He can provide guidance on car setup and much more. I would definitely recommend him to tuners, for sure. My car performed beautifully at the track with the alignment his guys helped me out with.

Chris has been at it soo long he knows what parts to use and which ones not to. He will always steer you in the right direction even if it’s not the direction you wanted. Quality character will always provide quality service! — won’t take my car anywhere else EVER!

nistuned my s14 and it’s running a hell of a lot better then it did when I brought It in to him. Takes his time and gets the Job done right! Thanks again Chris!

Chris is a true professional! He gives you multiple options. Always works with you and does very good work! I would recommend anyone to visit him if you have any issues with your cars. I will always take my car to Chris because I know he will always take care of me. I took my car in due to over heating issues. Turns out it was just a burn fuse. Chris replaced it and took time to go to the shop to meet me there and did not charge me a dime! Thats the kind of guy Chris is. Another shop would have said leave the car there and changed the same fuse and would tell you you need everything replaced and charge you an arm and a leg.

My experiences at Natural Aspirations have always been great! I’m very particular about my cars, and Chris and his team take good care of my vehicles. Whether it’s my Honda S2000 or my Lotus Elise, there is never any question as to where to go for anything I need.
Both of the above mentioned cars are driven the way the designers intended and so I require nothing but the best when it comes to maintaining them properly. Alignments, engine work, exhausts, tires… you name it, they handle it. And let me tell you, a Lotus is not the easiest car to work on, but I know I can have complete confidence in the work that Natural Aspirations does. They are always willing to explain exactly what the work is that is being done and include me in the decision-​making process as much as I want or as little as I want. It’s a feeling of respect for the customer which many shops just don’t seem to have.
I am happy to know I have a resource like this to take care of my cars. Work I have had completed there includes:
* All fluids — Honda S2000
* Track down a pesky «sticky» feeling clutch pedal issue — S2000
* Tires, balance, alignment — S2000
* Brakes, rotors, paint calipers, correct some deferred maintenance from Previous Owner — Lotus Elise
* Tires, balance, alignment — Elise
* Custom battery bracket and high performance battery replacement — Elise
* Custom headlight repair/​modification (rubber trim delete and LED upgrade) — Elise
* All fluids — Elise
And I’m pretty sure there has been other work which I’m just not remembering at this moment! If I could include pictures of Chris’s custom work and the quality of the fit and finish of his end product, I would. It must be seen to be appreciated.

Amazing shop for everything from performance or just daily driven cars. Chris was extremely helpful with working with my work schedule which was awesome ! I was able to bring in my tires get them mounted balanced and an alignment done ^_​_​^ he was very helpful and informative explaining different aspects of the car to me. I enjoyed learning more about my car having a feeling of trust of someome working on my car. Whether u are an enthusiast or a casual driver this is a great shop to come to.
Highly recommend natural aspirations ! I will be back for my car needs ty so much Chris !

Chris the owner here runs a tight ship. Especially for honda s2000 enthusiasts he gots all heart and does these great BBQs and tech days for the community.
As a mechanic chris is ASE certified and has experience with engines all the way up to airplanes. He’s the most knowledgable person i’ve met in the industry and has done great work to my best friends 01 S2000 with a full rebuild of his bottom end.
While in Destiny i sometimes get mad at him cuz he won’t respond cuz he’s helping customers on the phone or still at the shop making sure stuff is getting taken care of at the shop… i can’t fault his work he’s dedicated and patient and all about doing it once and doing it right. He takes his time and he’s passionate about engines and cars.
Note since becoming his customer i’ve become well acquainted with Chris and his business practices, he’s never the cheapest place t go but he’s the right place to go… if u want a great job go here but expect to pay for it.
The business itself is extremely clean and shares the location with Dan’s shop and is in an automotive plaza with good parking.
They have the latest alignment and wheel mounting equipment along with multiple lifts and a waiting area.
Most importantly they have an engine building area separate from the regular shop where chris get’s his engine building done.
Think of the shop as Spoon Sports or Type One Racing in America.

Im 23 and own a 2005 Honda S2000. For automotive enthusiasts, the S2000 is an exceptional car and, for many, a dream car even. I got my car last April (2013) and knew that maintaining it was going to be very important as these cars are famous for their 8.2k/9k redlines and high performance capabilities. As a young owner just starting to pay for keeping my car together, I initially went to a couple of cheap locations that did simple work for me like oil changes and brake pad replacing. However, the cheap location meant shitty labor and a lack of care when it came to taking care of my car. It’s great if you can change my oil and switch my brake pads, but if you don’t care about making sure you don’t scratch my wheel lug nuts or if you casually toss brake pad components around, you’re in the wrong business. Learned my lesson in 2 seconds: don’t take your car to someone who doesn’t care about it like it’s their own.
Now: Mr. Chris Sharma. Seriously freaking amazing. The guy goes out of his way to make sure you know what you need, what you don’t need, what you should keep an eye out for, and gives you the chance to make the choices when it comes to what you want done for your car. There’s no BS, no extra suggestion just so he makes an extra pretty penny, and no stress when you hand him your keys and your pride and joy. This guy takes care of it all. I especially love taking my car to Chris because he owns an S2000 as well and understands my need for everything to be done properly and with a guarantee. I can trust the guy to do what I need and to educate me about what he’s doing to the car. I’ve gotten my differential fluid done here, a clutch master cylinder replaced, and Chris always throws in advice and checks with me to see how the car is doing.
No Chris is not the cheapest guy around, and no he’s not going to give you your car back in 5 minutes, but what he will do is give you the car back in PERFECT condition so that you know that even if you push your car to its limits, he’s made sure that you’ll be able to do so with the comfort of knowing that the car will handle it and he stands behind the labor he put into it. I have plans for my car and I want to really make it a low key street/​track beast. Don’t be surprised if you see it hanging out in Chris’ shop getting worked on. His shop is LEGIT.
P. S. Thanks for adjusting the handbrake lever for me man. The clutch is doing great too!

Newly relocated to Torrance but same great service.
Talk about great service, I’m 32 and I’ve had 11 cars in my lifetime and the one thing I can tell you is that a great mechanic is hard to find. I’m really happy I found Natural Aspirations, the owner and operator Chris is a really cool cat that knows more about my car than I think I could ever know. Chris speaks well and is mature, he isn’t a know it all kid or a grumpy old man. Chris comes off as a very intelligent gentleman I don’t find that I struggle to understand him when speaking to him about my car.
Aside form the level of professionalism the owner operator provides I take my car to Natural Aspirations because I can trust the advise, feedback, knowledge, and expertise provided with each car service. My car is running great, I had my diff oil, transmission oil, and engine oil flushed and or changed recently. I also had my new wheels installed along with my TPMS sensors, balanced rotated and my car aligned. I am a car enthusiast and every once and a while I do take my car to the track so it is very important for everything to be in perfect working condition on or off the Willow Springs International raceway.
I would recommend servicing your car at Natural Aspirations to anyone that wants to be told the truth of what their car needs and how to maintain it at it’s best. The prices on labor are very reasonable.
