Who is the best? All personal affections for their local shop aside.

I doubt there is a "best" shop. It would probably depend on what you are having done. Good transmission shops probably have no clue on a tune or suspension.

All depends on what you’re referring to? Tuner shops? General maintenance?

You can can always go with the big shops like bbi or Rstrada. Both in California. Worked with rstrada on parts but not with maintenance, but if you see what they are working on is hand your keys over right away without hesitation.

I understand that there are some very good shops on the east coast, however, I am unlikely to ever darken their doorstep as it is somewhat of a logistical nightmare to get the car there.

As far as the west coast is concerned, (and the south), there are a number of folks I would do business with.

Hard question to answer with so many folks all over the country.

Depends on what you are looking to have done.... One size does not fit all...

How about replicating the 4.0l you just built?

Nelsontod sold his TT several months ago, just wondering what he is up to.

Cervelli Technical Service. They don’t have a site.
