Needa great Mini shop in NC

I made the plunge to purchase a 15% pulley and after reading the posts on the DIY of this pulley and belt I'm a little skeptical about doing it myself.
I have done a lot of work on my Mustangs, Dodge trucks, and of course the wife's mini van but an a little afraid of messing up my Mini. Can anyone recommend a really good shop/tuner in the Charlotte NC or 100 miles from there to have my Mini worked on????
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Greg

Check out sneeds speed shop. Its in Pafftown, NC. Right beside Winston.

I think they charge $500 for a pulley install.

Grassroots garage in thomasville I looked them up when I was looking for mini shops in the area. They are a shop that is listed on helix website so they must know there stuff. I just decided to install everything myself instead

Grassroots is no longer open. Dan works at Flow MINI in W-S?

Greensboro may be a haul, but you could check with Eurobahn Motorsports.

Seems like I just saw a post recently from a new garage that just opened in Charlotte.

I've done almost 600 pulleys but located in Atlanta so your welcome to come down and get it done here if you want.
