Where to have parts installed (near Pasadena)?

Anyone have suggestions / recommendations on where to have a few aftermarket parts installed for the M3 near Pasadena?

Thanks

Platte Forme in Temple City/El Monte. Tuan and Gary are very good at what they do. Had my E92 there a few times before.

Minicorsa in North Hollywood. They've already done a few installs on some F80 M3/M4's.

out of all of them
best of them with customer service and actually respond is Minicorsa, EAS, Supreme Power and Strasse Sport. I can vouch for these guys personally.

We should have a vendor review section to help out

Definitely go for the most reputable shop, not the most popular one. You will save yourself a lot of back and forth, time and $$$ too!

I would not recommend Minicorsa at all. I was charged extra money due to no fault of my own and had to get the work double checked at another shop at my own expense. I could have fought with them, but decided to move on and never use this shop again.

Seems like a knowledgeable shop but very unprofessional, especially the owner.

In case you were still looking - we've got a great group of BMW (particularly F8x) enthusiasts here at the shop! (HOUSE Motorsports) We do primarily P-Car work but a lot of our customers own both so we cater to customers - not just a specific car.

Feel free to check out our Yelp page and give us a ring any time to just talk shop!

I live in Pasadena...and I went to EAS in Anaheim. Well worth the (relatively short) drive.

I have driven by House Automotive a number of times. They look like a good Porsche shop.

EAS is great - professional, top notch
