whatever you do, don't go to Autothority

i recently posted a similar question on eastcoastbmw.net about a shop in NoVa to install spings/shock for me.. i was directed to the following shops.

http://www.ultimatedc.com/
Ultimate Performance Company Ph# 703-435-5000
http://www.pro-imports.com/

now i am not sure if they will roll fenders but i am sure if they can slam a car, they can do some rolling. At the end, i know for sure Autothority rolls fenders @ www.autothority.com but right now i am not in good terms with them.

where is autoauthority?? What did they do to you??

AMG BRED

well first of all, it's a rip - off, i learned this the hard way, i don't mind paying a premium if the work is excellent. I paid 1000.00 bucks for a spring/shock install and alignment on the CLK. Then I paid another 1000.00 bucks for the same work on the C32 so basically i dropped down 2000.00 USD at Autothority. Then I got a rubbing problem on the C32 and I called them asking what they can do about it and they said "sure bring it in, we willl fix it for ya" It was determined that it was the same small intruding piece in the fender that's rubbing so Autothority said they will trim it down at no charge and i figured for dropping 2000.00+ at their shop, this is a nice gesture on their part. So they take off the wheel and trim the part, a whole of 30 mins. 3 Weeks later they charge my credit card of 150 bucks. WTF?

The shop I normally use is pro-imports. I never had my fenders rolled, but I believe they have some sort of fender rolling machine.

AMG BRED-
Couldnt agree more with you on Authority, its a nice place but way too expensive. One of my HS teachers husband is the owner, he has an amazing set of Porsches but I sure know how he can afford him with the prices that they charge at Authority.

Cant recommend any shops in the NoVA area though.

SiLvaC32

i don't live on the west coast.. and a good reputable shop is hard to come across in Virginia.

s4iscool

not really, go to proimport

paying $1000 for install is just...no comment. No matter WHO is doing the install.

AMG BRED

exactly, which is why i am not happy with autothority, they had my car for a day and a half

AMGstyle, no need to "roll" your rear fender. It is already rolled. Just get the bracket trimmed down. I can do it for you if you want, how wide are your rear wheels? PM me.

This is a Very good shop, IMO. They specialize in tuning/repair of high performance cars. Very good, quick, reasonably priced service. Personally, I would bring my C32 to them anyday for anything. They just happen to roll fenders as well.

They have a shop in Sterling, near Dulles and one in Chantilly off route 50. A new shop is opening in Fairfax, on Falls Ave.

thanks i've contacted him before, but (i believe) he lives in the the netherlands, so i was jsut wondering if there is someone local who can do this... anyway, i can wait until his next visit

live and learn, shop around, but of course sometimes a price can be too good to be true so be smart in your evaluations.
