Quality Shop in MN ?

Just spoke to Imola for catless downpipe and Hks spring install and they quoted me $2600 . The pipe had some good ish in it today. Anyone know a decent reputable shop that’s not charging $300 an hour for labor?

This is by far the most insane quote I've seen to install a downpipe. It's $2,000 too expensive.

$200 for an alignment is high, but performance shop.. sure.
No idea on adjusting ride height.
$150-200 is probably fair for a downpipe install, $300 is getting to pricey, but if reputable shop... ok.

The damn near $1500 spring install is what got me . I’m trying to get this stuff done before my trip to tail of the dragon in May. My buddy with an M4 recommended Imola , after this quote I’ll shop around .

U could try ratified motorsports in Minneapolis. They specialize in Audi but have done many bmw’s. They have a shop car that is a Supra.

They Quoted $750 for springs. $300 for DP if I purchase a DP through them and $500 if I provide my own DP . Never had a shop try and force me to purchase parts through them. I just reached out to Adam (Tuneplus) , he worked on my Focus RS and did great work and was super reasonable.

I think I’ll do the spring install myself. I did full coil overs (Fortune Auto 510s) on my RS in my garage. Took half a day. Only reason I was taking the supra in for a shop to do it was because I heard / read nightmares about bmw suspension but after watching videos it seems doable. Downpipe is a whole other thing andI would prefer a shop to do it.

You can check out JWP Automotive and Budget Auto Repair. I haven't been to JWP myself yet since its a newer shop but I plan to go there once I get around to ordering my lowering springs and exhaust. The guy that owns JWP also owns Budget Auto Repair in New Brighton which I have been to in the past. Brought all my prior cars for work there and never had an issue, prices are good too so I don't see JWP being much different.

Did you ever find a MN Shop that's not 3x the rates of a normal shop?
