Westminster,MD shop help???

Hi i'm new and i have a 2009 ls cobalt. Im looking for a shop close to me (westminster,md 21158) that can mount new rims and tires, install lowering springs, add a wing, and install and exhaust system. I really just want to do the rims, tires, and lowering springs for now. Anyone that knows of a close place or can do it for me please let me know. Thank you.

I would pick up a chilton or a haynes manual for a few bucks, and do it yourself. It's all simple stuff (besides mounting the tires) and can be done very easily. You can buy all the tools needed for maybe 75-100 dollars, which is a small fraction of what a shop will charge.

Hey, I am in the Westminster area as well......These freakin rims are the biggest pain in the ass to put tires on too. I had my friend do it, he had to have to other people pushing down on the tire to get it on the rim. Apparently these cobalt rims have no lip on them which makes it horrible to mount tires too. Anywhere you go is going to cost you some money, just watch them while they do it to make sure they dont jack your rims up. There are a lot of good shops in the area, just look online. I go to Firestone to get my girlfriends car worked on. ITs at 140 and Malcom DR.

Oh wait, you have an ls, shouldnt be a problem with the rims
