Best Denver area performance shops?

static_void · 11-07-2022, 01:34 PM

I'm looking to have springs, spacers, and exhaust work done by a top-tier shop in the Denver area. Quality of work is my number one priority - whether they're a BMW/euro specialist or not. Ideally, I'd be able to establish a long term, trusted relationship. Does anyone have any recommendations or experience to share? Thanks in advance.

Looks good to me! I'm assuming you have some experience with them?

I do and several friends have as well. Doug Paddock is known around town but definitely take other input from the folks here.

I do think they do good work.

Awesome, that's excellent to hear. It's great to get at least one viable option. Coming from the Subaru world... I knew I'd probably need a better shop.

I did all my work at my job on my G82 also ColoroadoN5X is a performance shop and really well known in the area! Billy does really great work!

Shoutout to bluewater performance. I used to take my S4 there and I was a little worried that they’d be in over their heads with my BMW but they just completed the most professional install I have ever seen on a car. Port injection, flex fuel, downpipes, and a reflex controller. Wouldn’t have any idea there are aftermarket parts if you don’t know exactly what to look for.

Just wanted to update that since making the post to ask I've been going to Black Canyon Performance in Arvada. They've done all of the work I couldn't do on my G80 and have completed it flawlessly with reasonable prices. I've truly been impressed and will continue to go there. Absolutely recommend them in case anyone else is looking for somewhere to go.

Nice, and that place is near Hill Petroleum so you can get E or 100 octane easily!

Looks like a nice shop!

Ha, I didn't even realize!

Yeah, they've treated me well. A bit of a drive from where I live but worth it so far.

Anyone used Simply Euro in Castle Pines?

Looks like the lead mechanic from Porsche Littleton is there now. He did a fair amount of work on my Macan (lowering, brake swap, exhaust, diverter valves, etc…) when I first got it.

Yeah I have used them for service on the wife's Audi and it has been good.

My friend Ashleigh owns it. They have some of the best and most experienced techs in town. I’d absolutely trust them. They don’t really specialize in performance parts like the other shops in the thread. If they’ll do the installs I’d use them!

Nice!

A friend of mine is having them lower his 992, so I guess they do more than just usual maintenance.
