Recommendations in the greater Seattle area

I will be relocating to the Seattle area this week and was hoping someone could recommend some good BMW tuner shops in the surrounding area. Any place that can perform some coding is always a plus but will also be looking for some potential ride height adjusting and perhaps some engine mods later on.

Thanks in advance and really looking forward to calling the PNW home!

Welcome to the area. Recommend looking up 'PNW BMW' on Facebook too, large group of enthusiasts. A number of us can code, so that should not be an issue. As for custom tuning shops, not sure. I have not gone that far yet.

Yeah, saw the replies - IS Garage in Renton. Helped me out too, since I just bought steel brake lines and racing brake fluid for the summer track events

Hit us up once you arrive! I have an E-SYS token and can do coding as well.

Pik - I used a cheap tuning shop to start with, but will have to move over to Achtuning in Redmond. Long story short - don't cheap out on a garage!

Oh, and Achtuning has experience already with M235 alignment setups for tracking and reducing understeer push

How much was the alignment?

Thinking of getting the m4 LCAs

ACH is where I ended up going. Highly recommended! I believe it was around $250 for the alignment.
