Anyone have any recommendations for a shop to do a pulley install in the North NJ area?

My warranty is about up on the car, so Im planning on doing some mods.

 

Where you located?

 

Im in Morris County

 

I am looking for some good Mini-tuners in NJ..but until I find one I will be using New Vernon Coach & Motorworks in New Vernon. Steve..great guy and does excellent work.

 

drive to helix in philly? then have a cheese steak?

Helix is not close, but they have been doing pulleys for a while.

 

DMH motorsports in Basking Ridge is pretty close. I did some biz with Don - decent and knowledgeable guy. http://www.dmhmotorsports.net/

 

think about taking it on yourself, my first time trying took about 3 hours, nothing too difficult and will help build your confidence working under the hood

 

+1 I've been to Don for my suspension mods + alignment, then oil change and obx header. Don knows what he's doing.

 

Ditto. Many owners from CT to VA and beyond go to Helix for mods. Eric is probably only under Randy Webb in number of pulley installs.

Additionally, it's not a bad DIY project. I've done two so far, although one was while replacing a supercharger, so I'm not sure it counts...

 

tyrol sports in queens is also super good too. i had them do my 15% pulley install.

 

Body Motion in Ocean Township.

 

go to helix13.com and see their list of approved installation facilities- there are a lot! I am pretty sure that at least 1 or 2 of them are in NJ.

 

I am also in northern jersey and was hoping for some mini knowledgeable garage around morristown

DMH sounds like something to check out which is nearby too

 

I've had excellent experiences with Don at DMH and Eric at Helix.

For general maintenance? or mods?

 

Did you follow the instructions to lift your engine? I'm planning on doing it myself as well. I just ordered my pulley today and am hoping to get the job done in 6 hours as the instructions seem a little lengthy. Also, I didn't buy the belt tensioner tool so I am going to have to McGuyver that

They were the original builders of the Grand Am MINIs

 

Either or... more so mods

Sorry for the late response lol

 

welp, there are shops that specialize in euro makes. Shade Tree in Mo'town is one. Somebody mentioned new veron coach works. They should be ok for maintenance, especially if they are familiar with BMWs. plus with the amount of minis on the road in north jersey, they probably have serviced Minis.

there is a Dinan authorized shop in bergen county but i am not familiar with them. they do mention they do general mechanical work as well.
