MPower in Houston,TX

New here: will do a formal intro when I get my C63 back and can post some great pics.

Anyway, I was curious if anyone in the Houston/TX area has used them, Ted or Ned?? Anyone have thoughts on there business or work.

I have used Jerry at Eurocharged for my ECU. He is a great guy and did wonderful thing to my car.

I am hoping that MPower can do the same. There were a couple issues and I hope to fix them. Hoping someone out there has any input.

PS. Our vehicles, C63's, are RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to get to know ya!!

I can vouch for Mpower. I know Ted and Ned personally. They have worked on numerous E55, C63. Their latest project was putting Precision turbos on a W221 S65.
Every week I go to the shop I see a C63 there for some preformance upgrades.
You can PM me if you have an specific questions.
Dont let the name fool you.

I vouch for M-power I have used them several times and I am very happy with there service. They are real honest guys and will bring you into the shop to show you exactly what is wrong and what needs to be changed. Plus the turn around time is quick unless your getting a big job done. A friend of mine took his C63 there and he is happy as well, PM me with questions.

I just looked them up on a local forum and they work on everything, GT-R's, Vipers, AMG's, Lambos, Ferraris, Installing a Pro Charger on a Hemi, and a ton of supercharger kits on M3's hahaha.

I had headers installed at M-Power. Also had the rear main seal, valve cover gaskets and a few other minor repairs done. No complaints from my end.

Hey I just saw this today and thought I'd chime in. I had Ted do my Quaife LSD along with repair my broken sub frame bolts back in January. I tracked the car the week after he completed the work and all I can say is not only was I happy with the work but so happy I'd added the Quaife to my diff. For us heavier cars it's makes a huge difference in handling characteristics.

Since then Ted and MPower have done a full airmatic swap for KW coil overs and again I'm really pleased with the work done. If you are on Planet Supercar you can see the thread I created for the coil over swap.

Car actually went it today for a faulty alternator/regulator and I saw your C63 there. Sweet ride!

If you need any info please don't hesitate to PM me.

Thanks to everyone who chimed in. It was really good to hear all of the positive feedback. Ted has been really good about helping my car get up and rolling again. He did some work and there were a couple of errors. I just wanted to see what everyone else who has used him has experienced. I am excited to get my 63 back.

Glad you liked my ride. Looks sweet, no?

Anyway, just checking in to see if Ted set you up and if you got your car back. Hard lot to pull into.

Anyone else have an MPower experience??

Sweet YES!

Ted was also changing my ride height after driving on the coilover for 3 weeks. It was a little too low, plus new wheels should be here in a week or so

Should be ready this afternoon.

My car will go back for some maintenance next week.. Ted gives A+ service at a hell of a price. I will recommend them to any AMG owner in Houston.

Anyone can PM me about any info they would like to know.
