Hey kiddos,

I now have an office in Columbus, OH I drive to a few times a year.

Who are the good E9X / F8X shops in Columbus for when i need one?

I typically do most of the work on my car, but I did take a new subframe to Motorkars (motorkars.com) for solid bushings to be pressed in and they did a fine job. Shops I've heard of, but never used, are bestmotorwerks, there was Tom Hatem Auto but it seems they have closed down recently, and Blagio's is another.

Esoteric Detail is a popular place for detailing stuff.

Achbach Auto for body work; I took a lip there to get painted, did a good job.

Firestone on Hamilton Road has ground level lifts for alignments if your car is on the low side.

Hope that helps somewhat at least

North End Wrench on Indianola. Doesn't look like much on the outside, but they're great. True enthusiasts, honest crew. Do a lot of Porsche work in Columbus but can handle anything
