CTSubiefan Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 You could also call Subimods in E. Hartford. Good guys there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good guys there too Yes Subimods are good guys but I think their spring install is a bit more $ than ECS. OP- did you get your springs installed yet? I was 0. And I'm still a zero.

CTSubiefan Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 or you could drive an hour and see GTTuner Good idea. The man knows these cars inside and out, does amazing work at a stunning pace, great price and not only does he make sure not to mark or dirty the car, he'll use a little touchup paint to fix the damage any other clowns may have inflicted.

birmy Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Pics What kind of work does ECS do? Are they just a performance shop? I live no more then 15 minutes from them and will be losing the warranty in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxx4k Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 this recent yr I've been going to tony for my changes/tune up/wheel bearings/brakes. his prices are beyond fair from other shops i got quoted from, he can get you OEM parts+after mkt or you can bring in your own parts. http://www.yelp.com/biz/tony-ds-auto-repair-shop-bloomfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ECS will do pretty much anything you want with the exception of alignments since they don't have the equipment. As they were swapping out my springs they noticed one of my struts was completely blown. They offered to order the parts for me or allow me to buy the parts myself and bring them in or have it delivered to the shop. I was able to find the best price myself so I had the part delivered directly to them. Most mechanics do not allow customer supplied parts but these guys are fine with them.

BigBlack-V Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 ^ This is awesome your right most shops dont allow you to do this they say buy parts from us so we can charge you out the ass or leave. I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
