Need a good bodyshop

Hey i was wondering if anybody can please help me find a place to buy and install my products at a good price also. I want to install a Alta pulley, Alta intake, Borla exhaust and maybe a drop in air filter. I have never install anything on my baby yet, so i dont want to mess anything up, but I also dont want to be overcharge on anything also. so if you guys can please help.

Mini of Towson will actual provide a warranty on parts they order and install through MINI Mania. You might want to call them up.

MINI of Towson is a very nice place, with very competent people, but they charged me almost $240 to remove four runflats and mount/balance four 'normal' tires from the Tire Rack. Not the best place if price is a concern.

I called MINI of Towson and the price is a little bit overpriced They wanted 2200 "tax not included" for a intake, pully, and exhaust. I was wondering if anybody else can please help me find another place. thanks.

I also called Glenelg Service Center and they too are a little bit over my budget. they also wanted 500 to install the items. but the nice thing about them was. the guy told me to buy the items online and bring them there to install. but they charge 500 for install, so I dont know if thats a good price or what.

$500 seems fair to me considering the amount of work you're looking to have done. Plus Glenelg knows MINIs as well as any dealer around.
