Where's the best place to get work done in Colorado?

I live west of Denver, so Ft. Collins or Colorado Springs may be too far, but if that's my only choice I guess I have no choice.

I've checked with Cars Customz in Lakewood, but they seem a bit pricey.

Let me know, and thanks for the help.

What kind of work do you need done? warranty? aftermarket install? repair? are you looking for dealers or private shops? I am east of denver, if you are looking for dealer I would recommend Purifoy in FT Lupton.

Wow Colorado Springs has a performance shop? Interesting, next time I visit my Grandparents, I may check it out.

I got a 2009 SS/TC so my original concern about a Stage II is no longer valid. However I will be getting a Trifecta tune on a separate PCM soon. I'm just gonna buy a new PCM and tune that then when I need warranty work I'm gonna throw on the stock.

Cool, I ended up trading my 06 for a turbo so this is god to know. You got the gms1 then? How do you like it?

Edit; I called this dealership and asked if they have experience with the stage one turbo kit. They said no and they have a supercharged one in with a stage 2 kit and they cannot figure out why there's a CEL. Then he said as long as it is in warranty they will keep trying until its fixed.

i like the gms1 kit, before you install the kit,
remove the oe muffler and install a flow master.
there are 2
part number 942440
part number 952460
the 952460 is 1 inch larger in diameter and the tone is mellower
both work but i did not want my ss to sound like a honda
just remember you are at high altitude so what works at sea leavel does not work at altitude. and that is true for puffed engines as well as non puffed engines

I don't want my car to sound like anything, I want it to sound stock. Well maybe what does yours sound like can you video record it and youtube it?
