depends what u want to get done. my cousin works at a bodyshop in philly and has worked on my c55 before (fog lights, couple other minor items). i haven't done any engine work yet tho. he's been trying to get me to do exhaust work for a while now - he custom builds all his exhausts to get whatever tone u want.

For non-stealership maintenance and/or basic performance upgrades, I highly recommend German Auto Specialists in Plymouth Mtg. www.germanautospecialist.com Great shop, great people running it, and IMHO a very reasonable labor rate.

For more involved performance work, I highly recommend Fabspeed in Ambler, PA. www.fabspeed.com They're a Kleemann dealer, and do tons of performance installs; in fact, their GM recently emailed me about a G55 that's getting "the works" from Kleemann (K4 package), wheels, bodykit, etc. and being worked on right now. They also have a top-of-the-line AWD dynojet in house for testing and/or tuning, and can competently handle custom-fab work. Worth mentioning: they primarily work on exotics (Porsche/Lambo/Ferrari) and their labor rate reflects that.

Hope this info is helpful. Feel free to PM me if you'd like any further info or have any questions.
