Figured I would start up a thread that may be helpful to others and possibly myself...

Just curious where everyone goes for work on their car? (for the things that can't be done in your own garage)

Am looking for maybe a new spot because the spot that I normally go to get some work done here and there just fired the guy that I only let mess with my car(s).

And do everyone a favor lol, dont post up sweet pictures of your own garage and sick set up and make me jealous lol. Thanks

Maximumpsi.com. 1320performance. Iveytune. Turbotrix. I'll check with Mike R in maximumpsi. Great guy and can do anything. They have a mustang dyno as well.

Visiondsm · 09-04-2012, 01:36 PM

Maximum psi does any welding I need. Mike is a great guy.

LostMarine · 09-04-2012, 09:02 PM

I forgot about MaxPSI, great place. Only thing is its not really south jersey, but worth the drive

itwillboost · 09-04-2012, 09:53 PM

JDS Motoring, only place I bring my cars except for paint and body work.

Unintended trolling? Most of the places mentioned are in North Jersey. If you are in Giants' fan territory, you are in North jersey. In fairness though it seems most of the shops/enthusiasts are in the PA Philly and North Jersey suburbs. Seems like south jersey is more of a 4x4/dirt bike population. not that there is anything wrong with that ...

I agree with him, every time I hear a turbo spool it's a truck and I see lifted trucks daily. Modded cars are less common.

Car Effex in Mantua sells stuff but I wouldn't go there for any work. They're too pricy. The owner's conceited since they work on exotics often.

I live right down the street from there- I stopped in once and the guy behind the counter (owner) was very stand-offish and seemed more annoyed by my presence. I'd love to support a local business, especially one this close, but I won't be returning.

VAC is an excellent shop and only a 20 minute drive from, say, the Deptford Mall. They did work on my 335xi and I was so pleased with the experience I brought my CTSV in for suspension. Again they did fantastic work!

R/T Tuning in PA is excellent as well. Granted they aren't in South Jersey but sometimes it's worth a short drive to work with a reputable shop.
