Any good performance shops in the san jose/bay area?

Hi All,

I got a cracked stock header, but thankfully I happen to have a Eurocharged stage 2 that needs to be installed. Planning on driving down to LA early next week so I'm in need of a shop in the bay area that has experience installing pulley, headers, heat exchanger, and pump in w211 e55.

I searched a bit but couldn't really find any results so if anyone has a recommendation for decent shops in the San Jose area, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Sonic Motorsports is a good shop but they are in Mountain View. I had my service B done at Flintworks in Campbell you might wanna hit them up as well since I believe they do some aftermarket installs as well.

GOTO ASP. Auto Sound Performance in SF. Vlad has an E55 putting down mad power. He is also a Eurocharged distributer and works closely with Jerry. I highly recommend trusting a shop like ASP working on my car.

I felt most comfortable with going to ASP. Brought my car in today, and Vlad said it'll be ready tomorrow. On top of that, he'll do the ECU flash for me too. All this for a reasonable price. Much better price than Sonic MS (I did call Sonic as well because they are literally down the street from me).

+1 for ASP

I assume that ASP can setup a rear tank & install data logger?

I have a few friends who have used Sonic with mixed feelings on them. I really like the guys down at Borelli in north san jose near the airport kinda. They are inside of Club Auto Sport (if you are in the exotic scene you know that place already). They are all true hard core car guys that do super high quality work.

I've passed by this place before but didn't know what it is. I will definitely use them as an option in the future.

Vlad and Boris are top notch guys! Met both of them personally. Vlad's E55 is super fast! Ditch the stock headers and get some EC longtubes there is a group buy going on.
