What Others Say about Broadway

 

From what I have read, Vinny Ten's shop is one of the best on Long Island...

Vinny Ten Racing

West Babylon, NY

http://www.vinnytenracing.com/

 

I've never been there, but I know a bunch of people in my town (Stamford) that have gone there, and never heard one complaint from any of them.

 

They do good work, and Brian (the service manager) went above and beyond the one time I went there; a friend of mine bought an APR-chipped GTI 1.8T, and the program was causing a CEL.

Even though my friend was not the original purcahser of the APR software and he had no documentation, Brian spent the better part of the afternoon reflashing the car to fix the CEL.
