ABR Houston does not install customer supplied parts

Purchased Mincht Schnell underdrive pulleys brand new and called ABR to have them installed. I was told they do not install customer supplied parts. Found that kinda odd but its their business.

Any recommendations around the Springs/Woodlands area that would be able to do this?

I posted this same thing on the local FB asking for others that would do the job. I got a ton of replies for different shops that would do the job. ABR said that they would in fact do the job but would not quote me till I showed up. The parts we fresh out of the manufacturers box and the car is in incredible condition.


this is my post after driving 32 miles for them to give me a quote.

Anyway passing along the news if anyone was interested.


Well just went and paid ABR a visit and drove 32 miles round trip. Brought them the parts and they came back and quoted me just over $600 to do the job... the job is a 1 hour maybe 1.5 hour job if Im slacking and talking shit while doing it. I kindly said no thank you and went my way. Nice people and nice shop but the M tax is too crazy there. I most likely will do the job my self and buy more stuff with the money I saved.

You can try North Houston Beemer (I-45 feeder). They installed some Cool Carbon brake pads I had before I moved down here. The only thing they noted was that they weren't providing any warranty with customer supplied parts - which totally makes sense.

Just ended up doing the work myself and also installing the Alpine tune. Not that hard of a job and saved a ton of money doing it.
