Shops in Bay Area

Anyone know a good shop that does installs? Looking at picking up some downpipes and get them installed.

Thanks!

Sonic MS down the peninsula has done it for me, and a few other things without issue. Alekshop is supposed to be good, but no personal experience there.

I've been talking with Phaedrus in the city about installing my exhaust. San Jose and Fremont are a world away!

Trackspec Autosports is where I get all my work done. Jon is a top notch guy and his rates are very reasonable for the quality of work that you get.

Located in Fremont for anyone in the South/East bay.

Performance Technic in Dublin is the place to go.

As a long term owner who doesn't plan on selling my cars, Performance Technic as my shop choice is a no brainer. They have a solid staff of talented techs with two of them being bmw master techs. They are the only shop who can do a crazy s65 swap and maintain my cars like bmw but with a greater attention to detail and dedication. There are a lot of bolt on shops in the bay area who do mods but few actually offer maintenance beyond the simple stuff.

Performance Technic also races and e46 m3, has private tracks for customers and friends with driver coaching available and does a ton of track prep so their input on car set up is very valuable.

GT Auto Concepts in Redwood City. Ask for Lance or Vince. They are phenomenal individuals who will really go out of their way to help you. A bunch of my mates who own exotics (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, etc) take their cars there and have some incredible mods done.

I will go one further and say Performance Technic ROCKS!

I have been taking my BMWs to Joe and his crew for 4 years now, and they never disappoint. They can do everything from tire mounting/balancing to exhaust installs to engine and tranny swaps...these guys know their shit.

Highly recommended.

Wow, I can't recommend Phaedrus BMW enough for service if you're in or near San Francisco. Great shop, very attentive people who care about their work - and their BMW afficionados - crazy good experience installing my new AWE system

DMK when are you here? I have a resonated switchpath system from SupremePower freshly installed...

Da AWE is in San Francisco which is a world away from you in traffic I'm afraid - think downtown to Alpharetta.

If you're up here tomorrow I can find time to meet up, leaving town Saturday for 4 days.
