Hi all,

I have a B8 S4, and I am looking for some suggestions for any tuning shops around the Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts area to get work done on my car. Possibly an exhaust, or springs/handling improvements would need to be installed. I know there is a lot in Connecticut, and probably nothing in Maine. I am not looking to drive 4 hours, but I really am just looking for a reliable, experienced and cost efficient shop to get some work done... Any suggestions?


Thanks!

Where are you located in NE? I, as well as several other New England Audiziners, can point you in the right direction if we know where your 'hood is.

If you're willing to make the trip to CT we'd be happy to assist you. We'll put together a competitive package for you as well and if it's a day's worth of work pay for a rental vehicle for you.

Pass that place all the time, never been in. I'll stop by soon and strike up the old "do you want to try and supercharge my 4.2?" question.

Hmmm...How are your prices on Carbon Cleaning? Have you worked on RS 4s?

the best shop in Maine is Rennen Performance in Auburn.

Rennen Peformance
459 Washington Street N, Unit 3
Auburn, ME 04210

Telephone: 207-878-9088

they do all the work on my cars.

They work on VW/Audi/Porsche/BMW/Mercedes... although they are primarily a VW/Audi shop.
they have a 2WD Dyno on site for tuning as well.

the shop specialty is high power turbo VR6 setups

East Coast in Greenland on Route 33, Status in Exeter on 111, and German Autosport in Amesbury are all great places. German Autosport is REVO shop. Damon is the owner.

I'll send you a PM. Yes, we've done a lot of carbon cleaning on FSI motors for both VW and Audi platforms. We've done a number of RS4 carbon cleaning as well. Here's a link to one done recently:

My vote would be for Advanced Technologies in Gloucester.

I brought my car to East Coast European for a simple job and when I picked it up it was smoking very lightly. At the time I didn't think much of it, I assumed it had been driven in a little while and would go away. It progressively got worse until Lee at Advanced Technologies later indicated that the motor was blown. My guess is, they had too much fun with my car. Now I can't necessarily prove that, but when I brought it in it certainly wasn't broken.

Another one for Speedlife motorsport.

They carry all the right brands, at good prices and Jason is an awesome guy. I have bought a ton of parts from him and had him work on my car when i didnt have time/ was not up to the task, and its always top notch work.

Reflex Tuning are super good people and really good Audi techs. They are more than qualified and have a great waiting room.

Any suggestions in the Burlington / Nashua region?

Any feedback on Auto Engineering in Lexington or Kaizen tuning in Boxboro?
