Default Pacific Northwest Shops.

Gentlemen, your assistance is much needed please. I did a forum search and couldn’t find the info I was looking for, some old threads with shops now closed. Do you guys have recommendations for shops in the PNW. I’m just outside Portland Oregon and will travel to Washington state if needed. I don’t mind traveling a bit and paying more for top notch service. I’m going to install coilovers and want the car corner balanced as well. Thanks again.

So no shop recommendations. Any private recommendations?

You may want to try the Regional Forums for the area.

I appreciate the recommendation. I did a search there before making this thread and even bumped an old thread without any replies either.

I find regional forums are mostly dead. I posted in two Austin area related threads to the sound of crickets months later.

You can also have the dealer install them too and get alignment.

We likely just don't have enough traffic volume for the knowledge to exist. Might want to see if you can hit up a couple of cars & coffees and see if you can find recs that way.

HI! Just saw this!

A fellow LOCAL? FINALLY?! I'm in Beaverton

What are you looking to get done? I go to Magic Garage Racing in Oregon City. Gary has installed my BBK, catback, and coilovers. He does not do corner balancing there, but since he is a raceshop, I am sure he has resources.

I appreciate the recommendation. I’ll stop by the shop. For now, just suspension work.

It'll be a little bit of a drive, but luckily it's mostly freeway. He's right off the 205. You'll just head east on 26, south on 217, south on I5 then east on 205. It goes by pretty quickly when it is not rush hour. There is a shop with a very similar name but they are NOT the same. Feel free to reach out to me via instagram (link in sidebar by username) if you need any help finding it.

You want to go with:
Magic Garage Racing
Address: 1701 Beavercreek Rd, Oregon City, OR 97045
Phone: (503) 704-2864

Thanks so much for the info. I’ll take any excuse to drive so no issues with the distance.
