Default Any good performance shop in Boston?

I've got a 2000 S4. The shop that i used to go to, BPG, closed down last July. The only thing i did to my car was adding in a UCC short shifter as the stock one sucks. I'm thinking of upgrading my suspension with H&R coilovers. Anybody from boston with any personal experiences with a good performance shop in boston? any suggestions?

Walpole, MA (SW of Boston, just off route 1.) I've had *excellent* experiences with them.

Default Good question, I don't know...

They treated me right on re-enabling the cruise control after I chipped through the mail with AWE; and charged actual labor rates on a suspension install -- 4 hours, plus an invite to hang in the shop and watch the whole thing.

Give 'em a call, they're easy to talk to!

Default $400 for the chip, $60 labor (1 hour) and $30 for the stocket for your stock chip

I've been going to them for years. They built a G60 supercharged motor for me, rebuilt my corrado Vr6 motor and have done normal maintenance on all my cars.

I got my chip from them as well. They're really good guys and know what they're doing. They're in Walpole MA, near Foxboro.

De nada... Keep us posted -- I'm real curious to hear what Dick has to say about the H&R coilovers.
