Comment: Highly recommended. Small shop works with Rogue Engineering as their second shop basically as Rogue has a very small building with limited space for installs.

I don't say this everday but they are the best shop I have ever been to; very professional, kind, and let you help with the install and watch since its only operated with two people they only work at one car at a time. I only wish they had a dynojet to complete my needs .

Address: 377 Elm Street, Stamford CT, 06902
Refrence: Dan w/ 335i
Comment: They do amazing work. Shop is setup great and is at an easy to get to, not hard to find location. The quality of work and service is also great. The only negative is that they don't allow you to go to the back where they do installs to watch. You have to wait in the waiting room or go to the Subway across the street while your car is being worked on due to policy and insurance issues. Other than that it is a great shop with great people although it would be nice to be able to watch and get involved with installs.

Reference #2: Alan w/ BMW 335i and Mini Cooper S Convertible
Comment #2: Installed my DPs, exhaust, and tune here for the 335i. Installed pulley and had oil changed on the Mini. Long drive, but totally worth it. Ralph even drove me into the city to kill time while they worked on the cars.

I can recommend Supreme Power for the tougher installs and if you're in Jersey. Nice guys and they work fast!

I can do pretty much any JB-related install, and can burn chips for those in the NYC area.

Someone needs to add Tyrol sport to that new York list right about now. This place is incredible. Mike and his crew are extremely dedicated enthusiasts who work on everything European. They're a giac dealer and from the exhaust work they did for me yesterday and paired with the fact that they warranty all of their work its obvious they're not only meticulous but interested in the welfare of their customers. I've been super pissed off with my car recently but mike helped me feel a lot less helpless about the situation. I can't say enough good things about them and Ive definitely found my new spot for all my work getting done. Someone needs to look up they're contact info though I don't have it.

I second this. They are very skilled in turbo engines/german cars. I had some work done through them and I was VERY satisfied. They also warranty their work for a year!

well looks like I got another leak (starting to hate this car) I'm going to try out L.I. Bimmer Pros in bohemia area. Has anyone used them? Normally I'd go to MNC but driving an hour+ each way is getting old real quick.
