I didn't see a single one for the Denver Metro area. No body here in the state knows? I have to break down and take it to the dealer and pray I can afford it

I looked through several pages of posts and gave up myself.
This thread would be better served as a separate category with sub-categories such as:
East Coast
Mid West
Southwest
Etc..
At least it would be easier to find someone in your geographical area..

my 2 cents..

I highly recommend Mcilvain Motors for those in the Phoenix and Tucson areas. They are the only LN Engineering certified installer of the IMS bearing retrofit in Arizona. The owner, Scott, cares a great deal about his customers and is highly knowledgeable.

If you haven't figured it out by now, Black Forest in Kearny Mesa is the local PCA go to shop, as well as Dieter's downtown.

I've been searching for the Yuma AZ area, might as well look for a shipping company.
Any advice?

MikeSZ, sorry I'm not going to be as helpful as I could be since your request is for within Rhode Island, but Musante Motorsports here in CT (South Windsor) is about an hour and a half away from you, and they do get customers from the surrounding states. If you don't find anyone good who's closer, they're worth your time.
