Mountain Motorwerks?

(On further review they appear to be out of business).

Yore best bet may be Greenville, SC, or shops in the northeast suburbs of Atlanta, although they are a bit of a drive.

Thanks for the help. They are no longer in business. With all the high end cars in Highlands I can’t believe there are no European mechanics- I guess they are all new lol. I live in the poor section 20+ miles away.

Thanks. If anyone knows of a specific shop they trust and honest please let me know.

It's 270 miles from Cashiers, NC to Autometrics in Charleston, and just 118 miles from Cashiers, NC to Freed Performance in Cumming, GA.

Autometrics is 227 miles from my home and for major service and/or project completion that is on time and on budget the trip is worth every mile. Just my opinion.

The thread starter may need a mechanic for things less than a major service and/or project completion.

How far are you from Freed Performance?
