Evo shop in CT/MA

I'm coming up to CT with my evo that I bought a couple days ago in March. I was wondering what shops offer services for all fluids, belt check, anything from front to back of my engine. I want to make sure everything is good with the car before I put money into mods.

So, a name, shop name, number, email, or site will work. Thanks

any dealer can probably do that. Synaptic3 up in NH i am sure can satisfy your need but that is somewhat of a hike from CT.

btw.. i feel like half the dealers dont know what their talking about and always over charge you.
try and do the work yourself.... quality is guaranteed that way.
if you need a place to work or tools i have plenty of driveway space and just rebuilt an engine so im sure i have the right tools... hit me up im always down to turn some wrenches and have a few beers (as long as its not -20* out). im in southern RI 30 mins north of groton

there is also a shop in ct called "the shop" i believe.. i dont know much about them but if its up the street they might be worth checking out

I'm new to the modding. I've always wanted to learn. But it's hard to do that when you're in the military and don't get enough time off to work. I might put you up to that offer though when I come down in march. I was thinking about taking two weeks off from the end to march to beginning of april. Time to start saving my money

as long as you do some research and buy the right parts, modding the evo isnt really all that hard. especially basic bolt-ons

2 hours and 38 mins drive. I think we could arrange something later on. I'll notify you when the time comes closer to March.

Where in CT are you going to be? If you are in the western area, EFI Logics in Bethel is the place to go.

If its eastern CT Swift Performance Automotive in Norwich is good.

You should also add a compression test to the list. That will give you an indication if the motor is or will have any catastrophic issues. If you don't plan on changing any of the IC piping or FMIC i would also suggest you do a boost leak test.

99% chance you will need new throttle body seals if they haven't been done yet. Something also to consider.

This right here.

They are a great bunch of guys and so far everything I've had done there (maintenance mostly.. hopefully some power mods soon) has been about half the price of what the dealers around here quote me. Quick turnaround time too
