Dealer in Boston, MA area that deals with aftermarket parts

I am happy with my dealer (Clay Nissan in Newton) but I have after-market intake/exhaust and suspension. They don't seem to want to touch the suspension or install parts that I bring in, so I have to resort to a personal mechanic.
Is there a shop in the area that deals with Nissan's, and will work with after-markets stuff, or will install say a set of Tokicos that I bring in?
Thank !

If you're willing to take a 45 minute drive, I'd be happy to install any aftermarket parts for you.

Sincerely,
Kevin Goodwin

+1 for KRRZ350. A bit of a drive, but he is a very honest and knowledgeable mechanic. He has performed work on my car, and hopefully will in the future.

You have a shop? I am looking for a dealer that will do things like, change sensors on an aftermarket Y-pipe, change strut mounts on a Eibach/Tokico set up, change bushings or ball joints, etc.

Sounds like you're misfiring. Since you are a 99 I would assume the coils, although by 250K they can't still be Mitsubishis. I am sure Kevin can help you out once you figure out the problem. It could be a number of things (coils, plugs, injectors, etc.)

Definitly, I've got an entire set of coilpacks for you that will take care of the problem, $80 and I'll install them to, bring me some plugs at the same time & I'll install them also.

There are a few shops around, I know Pro Spec in Quincy, Andy, or Kenny great guys and also in Nedham there is Dent sport Garage Alex or Bill. They are DSM's but can work on anything.

When I lived in Boston, I used Lou's Custom Exhaust (locations in Waltham and up in North Reading area) for work on my Corvette. Worth a call or visit to see if he can help you out.

I also just had a great experience with KRRZ350 - Kevin Goodwin in Middleboro, MA. I contacted Kevin several months ago when I discovered him on this forum, suspecting I might soon be in need of a clutch for my 95 SE (with just over 190K on the original).

Sure enough, the clutch **** the bed last Saturday. Kevin fit me into his busy (including school) schedule and today – exactly 7 days later – I picked the car up.

So far so good with the repair. The car drives great but more importantly, it was nice to find someone whose workmanship I trust, who I could count on to supply quality parts, and (oh yeah) who also saved me a couple hundred bucks over my local dealer’s quoted price.

Thanks, Kevin. With several other Nissans in the family, it’s nice to find someone relatively close to me who can help out in a pinch.

Hey Kevin... I have an '03 Nissan Maxima and I'm interested in replacing the shocks. Do you, or anyone on this thread, have experience/recommendations on any? Considering the number of positive feedback on your place, I will definitely bring my car to you to have it worked on despite the long drive. Need to know which shock I should go with first. Thanks.

I'm new to this site. I have a black 96 maxima GLE. It's in ok condition. I live in Newton, MA and ever since i discovered this forum I've been wanting to install a few mods. Does anyone know of a local performance auto service that are experienced with maxima aftermarket parts and have fair labor costs? Thanx
