Quality shop near Boston/west of Boston?
I am picking up my 2024 M4 in a few weeks in Boston and driving it back to Minnesota. Before I make the trip I need to have a Oil Cooler Guard and a NoSho license plate frame installed. The dealership I am picking the car up from isn't willing to do this for me for free (not surprising) so I am looking for a decent shop to do it where the labor will be cheaper.
Anyone have any recommendations or should I just browse on Google? |

Sudbury. I'll be heading west from there
I honestly am not sure if a regular shop will be that much cheaper as it's been years since I have had to have a car worked on, lol. |

I already have to purchase a new set of tires (all season) and have them mounted before I leave so I guess I will just have the dealership do it. Thanks! |

Yes. I will be spending the night around the Green Bay area and take it to a local dealer there to do the service. This trip home is going to be quite the logistical feat.
Fly in, pick up car, have stuff installed, stop by tire shop and have tires swapped, drive to Green Bay, sleep in a AirBNB for a private garage, break in service next morning, get home. Have to make sure all of these appointments are available and setup ahead of time but can't until my plates arrive so there is only so much planning I can do right now. Regardless, it will all be worth it. |

Won’t they give you a temp plate? Also kind of shitty they won’t install those for you. Your car is new so the suspension hasn’t settled. A metric set and less than an hour should do it.

As for why they won't do it, guessing the deal I got may have something to do with it. |

Gotcha. I checked and it’s only if you are resident. I bought in NH and used my office as an address. Must be why i got one (tax free for the win)
