Question Looking for good service shop/mechanic in Lancaster (40 mile radius) & a tuning shop

I'm located in Manheim Pa (Lancaster County) so I'd like to look in a radius from Reading -> Lebanon -> Dauphin/Harrisburg, Cumberland Co (Mechanicsburg & Carlisle & York (maybe even a little W of York to Hanover or Gettysburg) - and then S to S/E of Lanc maybe down around Gap & Coatsville.

I'm looking for a shop the specializes in European cars, mainly BMW, Audi & Merc but also Porsche, VW and Volvo. The shop doesn't have to work on all of these, but I need to be able to take any of the above brands to a very competent mechanic.

I also need to find a good tuner/performance shop. If you know of any that also work on Lexus, Infiniti & Acura, I'd be interested in these as well. I too often have people asking me for PROFESSIONAL tuning shops - not shops that "learn as they go" where your car is the first of that model/engine they are working on with this mod they heard of.

I'm also interested in a good Turbo & supercharger shop & a shop with a 4 wheel dyno.

If you don't know of anything in these areas but know of something the following cities (and their suburbs), please let me know: Philly , Wilmington, Baltimore, SE Jersey, Allentown/Lehigh valley.

Look up automotive performance tuning (APTuning) in Lebanon Pa. they specialize in European cars, mainly VAG but seem knowledgeable on bmws too. I went with them as they are an authorized Dinan installer and did a great job with my F90 dinan has kit. They do tuning as well afaik.

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll take a look at their site and see what they offer.

I think it is probably quite a ways outside of your search area (depending on where in Mannheim you are), but I have heard good things about Bimmerworks in West Chester.

Try 610AutoHaus in Pottstown. They seem like good guys. Took my X4M there for lunch exhaust work and they were really accommodating. Never had the work done though.

Do you recall how much they charged you for the HAS install, with or without alignment?

Can your shop perform alignment too? If so, how much over the $735?

Actually what's the suspension and spacer details on this one you guys did? Looks great!



Thanks again
