Thumbs up Big Update from ECS!

ECS Performance is growing! We started out as a small operation, working out of a 2 bay garage in Westfield MA, in early 2005. By August of 2005, we felt the need to expand and moved into a larger 2600 square foot facility in Springfield, MA. We quickly, however, outgrew that location and, by the fall of 2007, it became apparent that we would need to expand yet again. With big plans for a bright future, we started to look for a much larger facility in a better location that would be more versatile and more easily accessible for our many customers. In February, 2009 we moved into a 10,000 square foot facility located in Windsor Locks, CT…and we are here to stay! With the addition of the new facility came much needed space that allowed for new equipment such as state of the art Hunter tire equipment, and our very own Mustang AWD Dyno. Our techs and sales team have extensive experience with many makes including Subaru, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, Toyota, Mazda, and Nissan. ECS' owner and head-tuner, has tuned over 350 Subarus and many Mitsubishis. ECS is also a licensed COBB Pro-Tuner facility, and our customers’ goals and concerns are our top priorities when we tune any car. While we're expanding, we're still going to provide the same great customer service that has made us so successful.

ECS also offers a wide array of aftermarket performance parts, with price matching available for most of the top name brands. We offer parts from Invidia, Prosport, Defi, Cusco, AMS, Perrin, Whiteline, Enkei, Rays, Turbonetics, Forced Performance, ACT, COBB, HKS, Carbing, StopTech, GSC, Brembo, and many more. In addition, we offer many aftermarket services including, but not limited to, routine maintenance on your street or track prepped car, JDM replicas with right-hand drive conversions to US titled cars, turbo kit installations, classic model Impreza restorations, custom engine building, machine work, porting and powder-coating. In addition, our joint venture with Turbokits.com allows us to provide custom fabrication and we soon plan to launch our own product line. A TireRack Master Dealer, we can provide discounts on almost any tire.

Our new facility features 4 lifts, a state of the art Hunter GSP9700 wheel balancer as well as a Hunter TC3500 tire changer, and a Mustang MD-AWD-500-Euro chassis dynamometer that allows us to Dyno AWD, FWD, and RWD vehicles. We also have the capability to dyno motorcycles.

So why come to ECS? Well besides the reasons above, we are fellow enthusiasts! One of the best parts of our jobs is to see the smile on a customer's face after they drive their re-tuned car for the first time or pick up that final piece to finish their build. Already well known in the Subaru world, we'd really like to expand as much as possible into the Evo scene. Stay tuned for updates as we're going to be planning a big grand-opening meet!

Thanks Q! We're looking forward to selling your o2 dump once we get all set up. We're already convinced a few customers to order from you. Keep up the good work!
