MotorHaus West Palm Beach FL Area?

Ok, I am finally going to get the suspension put on and I want to find a reputable shop that does good work and doesn't charge an arm, leg + left nut for the job (i.e. BMW dealer pricing...) :LOL

Unless someone in the Treasure Coast area has the know-how and wants to help me do the install? I'd tackle it but I don't quite have the full tools and lift to do that kind of work. I worked on my BMW and GSXR motorcycle myself but the car is a bit more advanced. :-)

Anyone used MotorHaus in West Palm Beach?

Just got a call back from them... apparently they only do BMW & Mini service using BMW/Mini OEM parts. Didn't even offer to do it. Said he will refer me to a shop but has to call around.

Anyone know a good performance shop in West Palm Beach area?

Thanks. Got your message too. Is he in WPB or south?

Btw I drove down south the other day for an interview. It was in Sunset or right near it on SW 72nd. Southwest was an interesting area...

Auto Tuning House if it's not too much of a haul to you.. it's in Orlando and they work on all my BMWs.

Euromotive Performance is more south and might also work better for you. Shop manager coded my car remotely and I heard good things about the shop.

I had the wife with me and she wan't thrilled about the area. Not much time other than her doing some shopping and my appt.

I might be going down there again for another interview in the next couple of weeks. If I do we should plan to meet up.

Those are each 2 hours from me - North & South.

Ernie Bello is less than an hour. His shop certainly looks the business... Ernie took the time to get on the phone and talk through what I'm looking to do. Nice guy. http://www.bellomotorsport.com/
