Who do you all use for service in Cowtown? Who would you use for performance upgrades and that sort of thing?

 

I do my own oil dervice. All you need is a decent floor jack like one from Costco for $99.

Independent Shops:
Adair Auto
Alpine
Riegel
Tuner Works
South Centre - dealer
Concept 1

I am sure there are others.
Not sure what sort of performance upgrades you have in mind.
What car?

I use Alpine.

 

I use Alpine too. Marc is great

 

I don't think Tunerworks does maintenance and turns their own wrench.

 

+2 for marc at alpine

 

I use to go to marc, until his guy doing the work broke my air box assuming it was a clip but has a screw....I HAD TO GLUE IT. Then I witenessed him almost dump used oil into my turbo until the kid realised it said nfg on the side...and then I heard the other kid remind him it has 4 drain plugs and its a turbo.....I then paid full price leaving with my car unscathed exceot for a damaged airbox. I could mention other instances but I just dont go back.

I know go to the tunerworks guy at riegal and so far excellent service clean shop, friendly knowledgable and no broken pieces.

 

I'm a Riegel guy.

 

Going to give them a try for this year's oil change.

 

One of many reasons to DIY. Just to let you know I've been very happy with Motul X-Cess 5W-40 (P approved). No consumption, very nice and steady oil pressure and temperature, quiet running (valvetrain) engine (all compared to M1). I can certainly highly recommend it. YMMV of course.
Happy motoring!

tgt, et al,
Come over to Distinctive Coolection (Auto Mall) for Coffee and Cars on Saturdays, usually around 10AM-1PM. Lots of Astons, Lambos, 'Rraris, P-cars too. Mostly Ferrari crowd though. Distinctive have lots of pictures from past meets on Facebook, have a look. It gets crowded on a nice day.
