What's a good shop that will install "customer parts" in the bay area?

geost · 03-28-2014, 10:49 AM

Can anyone recommend a good shop in the bay area that will install "customer parts" preferably in or around the Fremont area? So far the ones that I called tell me they won't install customer parts because they can't guarantee the work.

I'm actually looking to get some Bilstein shocks (or similar) installed and the prices online are good that I want to buy them but no one seems to want to install them unless I buy through them.

Thanks.

I second this! Speed Element is legit! Also, Fast Lane European is pretty legit too. I go to both shops, and would recommend both shops with any service done.
