Default Just moved to Dallas

hey everyone,

I just moved up here a month ago and I am looking for some trusted performance shops (I need a new clutch and dont have a garage anymore to try and tackle it on my own).

Any suggestions?

I am currently living at 75 and Mockingbird.

Also, we just traded in my wife's tahoe for a 2006 BMW 330. Do any of you know any performance shops for bimmers? I dont want to do a lot to it, but I just cant keep it stock

I say Fastech. absolute best customer service and hard to beat pricing.
LG and 21st are super high dollar and don't really look at you unless you have a Vette and are dropping ALOT of $$$ there.
Heard RPM was good too but never dealt with them.
Speedtek is iffy. i wouldn't go to the dallas location but have heard a couple of good things from the Hurst location.
Or there is also MANY private installers around. Me being one of them. and NO ONE can beat my price.

21st is fairly priced and I did not drop more than 2k there I bought all my parts somewhere else. They have great customer service and have been the best to do a great job the first time.

Also I do not have a vette I have a truck the furthest thing from a vette. I'm also 19 so all other performance shops look at me and laugh.

I would also give a thumbs up to LG they were not able to help me and had no problem sending me to another place to get the work done I needed.

I haven't heard much that was good about speedtek, I've been to RPM and they are very nice to deal with. They charge a little more than some other shops in the area but They do good work and I'm willing to pay to get good service. Fasteck I've heard good things about, I've only been there to dyno so I can't say much about them


One other shop I know of that I didn't list before was Simple Quick Racing. I haven't dealt with them but Joeformula has used them and he has said good things about them

Default BMW Tuning

Eurosport Automotive at George Bush and Belt line, right next to Sams. They race BMW's for ***** and Giggles, but they have also helped me out on F-body stuff. Tell them the Higbee's sent ya! For the Bimmer, they are the Guys!

F-Body stuff though, I have always used LGMotorsports. They are a little pricey but the back up their stuff 200%.
