Good Shops in CT

Is there any good shops in CT to get parts installed besides Pruven and Victor Research?

My buddy has a shop called Total Autosports in Central CT. He's working out of a garage but is in the process of opening a larger facility with a store front. He's a Mitsu/Honda expert.

Hass Pro Turbo, in Walingford and possibly XXTuning in East hartford. Havent been to either for work but I hear Hass is good, I mean they specialize with work on lotus' although they can work on anything. One of the ladies there has an evo8 so all should be fine. I've only been to Pruven and the advantage there is that Al from Dynoflash is there 2 or 3 days a week. I think theres a place called Swiss Performance too, had a friend get work there and he said its solid as well. as for XXTuning another friend had an Externship there and they have a nice floor as well.

I too have been informed of the horrible witchcraft going on at XX-tuning. They have a very nice shop but their business ethics SUCK SERIOUS DONKEY B@LLS!!! I would not have any work done there ever.

Everytime I have dealt with XX (4th vehicle now) it has been all flowers and sausages! Always a pleasant and worthwhile experience.
