Here is what a lot of shops will not mention before they bolt a lift kit onto your Tesla: your EV weighs far more than the gas vehicle it looks like it should be, and that weight changes how every suspension upgrade behaves. A Model Y is not just a slightly heavier crossover. It is...

Frank Buoni

Very helpful and professional service. I would definitely recommend them!

Jeff Hollenbach

Great listeners and understand the big picture of my vision. Good advice and follow through with timing. Work to help find the components to complete the project at good value without sacrificing quality. I still have several mods scheduled for installation but thought I'd share the process this far.

The people at the store were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I dropped off my truck and it was done In less time than advertised, which was great. I’m extremely happy with the product and the service.

Ed Greaker

Got a spray in bed liner done here and scheduling and process was super easy there was a small section that was torn after install and after they took a look they had me bring back in right away to fix it and even said if they needed to take the bed cover off that they'd handle everything. Friendly service and made sure everything was right.
