New England Shops - Toyota Yaris Forums

david_827 · 10-31-2012, 05:37 PM

I know majority of people on this forum are DIYers when it comes to modifications on their cars. But for those of us who arent DIYers i was wondering if we could start a thread for some reputable shops in New England.

Can anyone recommend any? Whether is be for painting, or body work, or installation of parts.

i'll start, there is Pro-Spec Auto Sport in Quincy, Mass. I haven't personally bought my vehicle there, but have friends who have. They always do great work and always have great customer service.

Any others?

nice, does anyone by chance know any good Paint shops? Im having the urge to paint my yaris flat/matte black or satin black.......

fnkngrv · 11-01-2012, 07:53 PM

I would still give Brian a call at Granite State, but you could also give Dana a call at ProTree Performance as well:

ProTree Performance
120 Ferry Street
Hudson NH 03051
603-886-0827

ProTree Performance

Dana's shop does imports as well as domestics, but I have been informed that his shop is more geared toward domestics. When I took my car there the first time he had a 90s Camaro they were tuning that came in at over 800whp. They do all kinds of other work too and AFAIK can get you hooked up with a great paint shop. Dana may remember me too if you mention me since I believe I am the only Yaris they have had come through there with serious mods.

no one else can recommend any shops? does everyone else just do things themselves?

fnkngrv · 11-13-2012, 08:10 PM

I think that a lot of us do it ourselves. Another thing as well is that over the last couple years the NE members have seemed to dropped off a bit. The platform is going on 7+ years old now and the love it seems for the Yaris has diminished.
