There is only one place I would trust with my car in the Bay Area... CarLab Motorsports! Call Darwin at 408-718-2986.

Bozz has a good rep with the import scene, not so sure if they're any good with euros though.

You can also try:
Modacar in Livermore
Pro Street Industries in Hayward
Tire & Muffler Depot in Oakland (Cheaper, but still good quality work)


But if it's just a set of coilovers you should be able to change them yourself quite easily, because the coilovers should just be bolt-on.

I highly recommend Motorsports at Hayward. Ken, the owner, is very knowledgeable and professional.

Tell 'em Pablo sent you.

Ken and his buddies are good there. but they do take alot of time.. Darwin and well Darwin is great and he gets his installations done so you are on your merry way... just like this >>>


I bought my Tein's from CarLab and got them installed there too..

Darwin @ CarLab knows the C-class like the back of his hand and many here will vouch for that. Did you order them from him? Because then you'll have your coilovers installed in no time .

i actually got my coilovers from mach 3 in sf. so far im thinking of carlab, but it's in santa clara and im from the east bay.

it looks like carlab sounds professional and gets the job done quick, so i guess it's worth the commute.
