Most of our work is daily drivers: a set of wheels, a drop on coilovers, an exhaust you hear only when you want to. The rest is show cars, built over a winter and finished the week before the first meet.

What customers say
“Had the wagon on air in three days. They showed me the tank and lines before the floor went back in, and it sat level at pickup.”
“Called on my lunch break and nobody picked up. A text came back a minute later with two open times. Fit check was the next morning.”
“I wanted a quieter exhaust on my daily. They played me two clips on a phone before cutting anything. I picked the softer one.”
“Curb rash on all four wheels. They came back looking new, and the quote matched the bill to the dollar.”
Questions
Do you work on daily drivers?
Yes. Most of our week is daily drivers: wheels, alignments, a mild drop, an exhaust, a stereo.
How long does an air ride install take?
Two to three days for most cars. We book the bay once your parts arrive, so the car never sits waiting.
Will a drop make the car ride rough?
Coilovers set right ride firm and quiet. We set the height with you in the car, then align it before you drive home.
Do you install parts I bought?
Yes, at the same labor prices. We check the parts in with you at drop-off.
Is a louder exhaust legal in New York?
New York has exhaust noise rules. We keep the catalytic converter, fit cat-back systems and play you a sound clip before we cut. Check the rules for your car.
Where do I park?
Our lot on Ballast Row has eight spaces. If you drop off before we open, leave the keys in the box by the bay door from 7 AM.
Do I pay up front?
Special-order parts over $500 need a parts deposit. Labor is paid at pickup: card, cash or tap.
