Any interest in compiling recommended Bronco shops?

[phoenix00]

Hey everyone,

My Wildtrak 2.7L Sas, Lux, Soft top has finally been scheduled, and I have about $20k worth of upgrades I'd like to do (feels insane to me, and I've never spent much modding a vehicle but this is going to be my hobby for the next 12-18 months so...). Anyways, I'm in the Atlanta area, and new to heavily modding a vehicle and don't have the first idea about where to go for engine tune, paint work, audio upgrades, etc. other than big box stores (4WP, Best Buy, etc.) and I'm not trusting any of them with much of the more advanced work I'd like to have done. Was looking for recommendations in the Atlanta area, and then wondered if there wasn't similar interest in other cities and wondered if there was any interest in compiling a list of shops, by city, that members here have used in the past (either on Bronco's or other vehicles) that they would recommend or NOT recommend. Was thinking something like:

I'd be more than happy to take any and all input either posted on this thread or sent to me directly, pull together a spreadsheet and then post it for others to continue to add to over time... Thoughts? Bad idea? Other "work" areas we should add to the spreadsheet? And if not, if anyone has any recommendations in the Atlanta area, I'd take those as well!!!

Let the cash hemorrhaging begin (or continue for many of you who already have your Broncos...)...

Not a bad idea kind of in the same vote just different state Not sure I be spending that much but you never know.

I always use the same shop for all my builds, we call it a garage. Ya know, tools, floor jacks, air compressor, welder…you get the idea.

Why pay a shop $$$ to do something that you can do yourself and learn a few things along the way…big difference between built vs bought.

100% agree!! If I had a garage, floor jacks, air compressor… unfortunately, I didn’t grow up with a father who knew shit about tools… or anything else if I’m honest… and post divorce, I had to sell the house with the garage… Nothing would make me happier than having the time, space, and tools to learn how to do everything… Failing that, what I do have is some money, and so if my options are to pay someone or go without, then paying someone it is…

I totally understand where the OP is coming from. I’m glad he’s interested in our hobby. Because of people like him, guys that know what they are doing can make a living. We are ALL ignorant, just in different areas.
