NH / MA Mini Familiar 'Performance' Shop..?

Hey All,

Am looking to perform some upgrades to my 05' S that may be out of my comfort level (pulley, front sway bar, coil overs, etc). I've always been hesitant about bringing the car to just any place because of peoples unfamiliarity with the MC, so I thought I'd check on here for some opinions. I live in Nashua so someplace 'local' would be nice.. but any and all opnions will be greatly appreciated.

Tnx.
Jeremy

There's Turner Motorsports in Amesbury. I've never been there but I've heard good things.

I just noticed this post and you've probably already had work done but I wanted to recommend Concord Motorsports for the future. It is probably a decent drive north for you, but I had a friend that recently had an ECU tune there and was very happy with the service.

thanks so much. I actually purchased my Mini up there back in August of 2007 and just last week had the pulley installed up there as well. Was only about a 45 min ride but ended up going with them after all the help and guidence they gave over the phone when I was going through my spark plug 'pop-out' issue. After I performed the Heli-Coil with their recommendation I had them do my pulley last week and couldn't be happier. Thanks for confirming that they are a great shop. cheers

I know you've already gotten your work done, but I'd just like to add a recommendation for Dent Sport Garage in Norwood, MA. They're pretty far south from you but they are a fantastic shop with plenty of MINI and mini experience.
