There are plenty of good shops around here, see the sponsor list but being from Mass they should be very close which is good when there is an issue.

if they are your local shop, you are in good hands.
depends where in mass you are and what shop is closer, but there isnt many around i would trust.

definetly stick to one of the sponsors, and who ever is closer or better priced ect, im sure you'll be good

I drove from central CT to have my car built and tuned from Dez Racing and couldn't be happier. They are definitely worth the drive, and seeing you are close, that is a privledge!

Search the boards on Dez Racing and Slowhawk. Nothing but praises for these guys. Not only is Don awesome and will go out of his way for you, but dare I say one of the best LSX tuners/mechanics on the East coast. Mike and Brian are awesome too, very professially and all around great guys. You can't go wrong with em'.
