Looking for performance shop in San Jose/Bay Area

It looks like there are a ton of Porsche owners in this area. So, where does everyone bring their car for aftermarket performance work like computer, exhaust, suspension, etc..?

What local dealer is the best for service and warranty work?

Also, are there any Dynojet AWD machines in the area for dyno'ing AWD cars?

Thanks.

If you are just looking to get bolt on stuff and not a REAL Tuner like SCARGO, RUF, TECHART, etc,... you can go to DynoSpot Racing (SanJose), Akkurate(menlo park), Streetwize(mountain view).

let me know if you need any contact into each place as I know each owner.

later

for what you are looking for, you want someone that is near your house. I know that's how I base my decisions sometimes. S Car Go is good but about a 2 hour drive for you. To me it's not worth it for what you are simply looking for. If you just need to get those parts put on, go with DynoSpot which is in SanJose.

I go to Dynospot Racing in San Jose for bolt-on performance parts. They also have a Dynojet inhouse.

02TurboX50,

Alignment, tires, cornor balancing etc. take a look at Custom Alignment in Mt. View. Probably one of the best in the above specialities.
