Reputable shop in the Kansas City area?

Daxos · 07-12-2016, 04:28 PM

I am planning on modifying my car with the VF Hex tune and either downpipes, or downpipes with the full Akrapovic exhaust or the MPE exhaust.

I am looking for a reputable shop in the Kansas City area.

Do anyone have any recommendations?

Shit i emailed and called the guys at VF and i got absolutely shit from them as far as that. Closest right now in trekking to Houston or patiently waiting and driving 8 hrs to Denver.

We're open to recommendations!

There has got to be a reputable shop in the midwest? I really want the Hex tune and want to order my downpipes and full Akra exhaust but with no reputable shop available that sounds like a horrible idea.

Come on. There has to be someone from the KC area here to chime in ?

Thank you for chiming in VF Engineering! Please help us mid-westerns out!

By the way I should mention I was in contact with Bailey at VF Engineering and they have been more than spot on. If you haven't heard back, email them directly because I got replies within the hour.

Thread and questions still stand. Who can help us out in the Kansas City area?

Anyone? There has to be some owners in the KC area that have had their cars tuned and/or bolt ons added. Which shop did you use and would recommend?

Good timing so I'm bumping.

Talked to two BMW shops in KC this morning and neither will touch my car if I bring parts (even OEM). Seems crazy to me but I would love to find a good shop that will also do tuning work.

Update: We've been communicating with Bob Hindson Racing and are looking forward possibly locking something in soon.

Their reputation in the Porsche community is stellar, as well as VW and Audi. They've also been getting more and more familiar with late model BMW since we've all been noticing that options for qualified workshops are limited.

Stay tuned for more info!

Please keep us updated. I am really looking forward to getting your tune but there haven't been any shops that have been able to to do.
