hey DC/VA/MD guys have you heard of funKtion auto in dulles, VA? are they a reliable shop? or do you guys know of a good place to take my car i need to install an exhaust and do you pipe work done to my car? thanks

I have never heard of them, though I have always taken my cars to Curry's Auto - their prices are kind of high, but they have always been good.

Theres a place in Tyson's I heard about its near a Place called E-cites. I passed it once but have not been there yet!

Funktion is great ... really nice shop and good bunch of car enthusiasts. A few of use have taken our E55s there (me, e55baller, forget who else but definitely a few) and have had nothing but good service.

I had my I/C pump installed there recently. It's a minor job, but I got to talk at length with the tech and go over the install with him before and during the job. Highly Recommended.

E-citi Cafe is a restaurant/bar, it does look like a auto repair place (I think there was one in that spot before E-citi moved in). There are (or were) 2 or 3 auto places in that complex. I can't vouch for any of them, there is one in there that you might want to avoid as well.

I have used Funktion for my E55 and Porsches (993 and 911) for the past two years - as others have said they a high quality shop with very good techs. The owner is a racer and a high quality guy. I have used a number of other local shops and these guys are the best. Check out their website for photos of the shop - it is super. www.funktionauto.com.

I know the guys there and I recommend them very much. Knowledgeable bunch of people for sure.

Make sure to check out a Radical if they have any in stock.
