Performance/Motorsport Shops in Seattle

Where is everybody going to get track related setup done? I’ve got pads, fluid, and camber plates to put on, then I’ll need an alignment. I’d do it myself but I just don’t have time right now. I’ve tried StrictlyBMW but they don’t install parts not ordered thru them and I’m keeping Cantrell as an option of very last resort. What other shops are in the area that everyone is going to?

I would try Car Tender. They also give a 10% BMWCCA discount.

Oh that's right by the DIY shop I frequent! Strictly was fine, would have loved to use them and they offered to do the alignment but it's just their shop policy that they won't install any outside parts and I have all the parts needed already.

I'd go to Omni in Kirkland

Ask for Randy he's one of the owners

Omni is one of the best in Seattle, used exclusively by local Porsche club cars

Isn’t OMNI mainly for brakes and alignment? I know they are one of the best for 4 wheel alignment.

Oh yeah that's all they do mostly but they should be able to do stuff like suspension

There is always this place

https://woodinvillesportscars.com

Most likely not as snotty as Strictly BMW

You can also check out Cantrell Motorsports in Bellevue- mainly a Porsche shop and they do track setups. They did my old 335i's coilover/corner balancing, I provided the parts and had a good experience dealing with them.

They were initially first on my list but they’re a last resort now. I’m sure they’re fantastic with Porsches!
