Group 2 Motorsports

I bought a set of swaybars for my PT Cruiser from Autosports which is currently in Ballard near my detailing shop. I had the bars powder coated and then took them and a boat load of parts to be installed by Chris @ Group 2. The list consisted of the bars, cold air intake, strut tower brace, a new powder coated intake manifold other items that slip my mind. The car was done that same day, and the difference was dramatic! Chris did a great job and I have not had to have Group 2 re-​do any of the work involved. Later, Group 2 set me up with a new Interstate battery. I am most pleased with their work and would highly recommend Group 2.

I went in just to get 4 of my tires changed. I came in early and my tires had already been shipped to their garage. I was quoted for an hour of service plus disposal, etc. Reasonable. Met the new owner and the front desk guy was very friendly. Seemed like there was only one mechanic working in the back. Took my car nearly two hours to just get 4 tires changed and the tpms adjusted and wallah from 75 bucks to $ 150+ out the door. I’m conflicted because everyone was very friendly and everything seemed as expected, but two hours of service to change out 4 tires is a little unreal.

Couldn’t have been more pleased with the service I received from Group 2 Motorsports. The team there knows their stuff. Brought in my 560SL for a set of new tires and an alignment. It has chrome wheels which need to be handled very carefully, as any chips to the chrome finish along the edges can cause leaks. They did the work while I waited. Nice waiting area. Free WiFi. The work was done when promised and the car drives perfectly. No air leaks at all.

Sometimes with vehicles, you encounter complex issues. This has been true with my MB s500. All of the technology that make it a wonderful vehicle to drive, also adds difficulty to diagnosing (especially electronic issues).
Chris and the team were not only great in figuring out my Airmatic suspension issue, they charged me less than what they should have for the work AND when the MB part was unavailable, they acquired a Bilstein OEM part and provided it to me at their cost.
While I don’t get a loaner car (I am fortunate to live close) I know that they care about both the vehicle and the customer. Their new facility is fantastic and always has some special vehicles. Good guys and a great shop!

Keep up the good guys.

Been going to Group 2 for years now. These guys are legit. Ben knows his stuff with Subaru’s. Even owns an STI. They are kind, courteous and on time. Super professional. If you’re looking for install service or anything to do with suspension I recommend these guys. They have worked on my suspension through 3 cars and have it dialed. Heck even basic winter wheel setups, take it to Group 2.

Simply the best. Have brought a couple of cars here over the years and I’ve consistently received the best service possible. If you’re unsure of where to take your vehicle, trust them.

They did some suspension work on my old Mopar a while back. Great shop. And as soon as I get an Alfa I know where I’ll be taking it.

Took my car to Group 2 Motorsports because they were a recommended Tire Rack installer and could handle the wide, low profile, tires for my Audi R8. I needed 4 new tires mounted and balanced, and a 4-​wheel alignment.
The job was done for less than the estimated price and on time. Chris did a great job of explaining what he found in the alignment. Most importantly, the car has handled flawlessly since. I will be going back.

I’ve been spending money with owner Joe English and his marvelous band of car-​mad men since I first brought them my 1978 911SC there full suspension in 2001. I have since brought them every other car I’ve owned for all sorts of work. Chris is always even-​keeled, easy with a smile and a chat, and perfectionistic when working on your car. Then, there’s car-​savant Ben, who seems able to repair just about anything on any car. Super place in every way.

Awesome guys and honest work. People trust these guys with everything from classic porsche race cars to top of the line new BMWs. I’ve brought about 4 cars here for things ranging from alignments to clutch jobs and they’ve always been super honest and straight forward. Plus they’re right near my house so it’s easy to work out transportation :) I had another friend have his S2k worked on here and he was similarly impressed.

I came here for a track-​focused alignment and corner balance. Chris, the alignment guru here was very professional and easy to work with. He took the time to understand my current suspension setup and how I wanted my car setup.
I really liked that he allowed me to sit in the car during the corner balance and was very careful to pay attention to adjusting the centering of the steering.
The boss Joe was very friendly and the prices are very fair for the quality of work performed. I would recommend Group 2 and Chris for an alignment… especially if you plan to hit the track with your ride!

I had my exhaust installed here and they gave me a reasonable quote for labor and did it quickly, unlike all the other places I called who wanted 2 or 3 times the labor for a simple bolt on job.
They work on lots of vintage cars, which probably means people have a high amount of trust in their work. Everyone at the shop was nice and they did a great job. I would definitely go back to have future work done on my car.

They came highly recommended by the Alfa Club and I wanted a place in Seattle near Queen Anne to do the alignment since I had H&R springs & Bilstein shocks/​struts put on my ’92 Audi S4. They do race car prep/​fabrication, custom brakes and suspensions.
I saw race cars, vintage Alfa Romeo’s, BMW M-​cars, Porsche 993TT «S», ’67 Mini race car. It was a pleasure going their and seeing so many rare cars. It was self-​evident that they and their customers are passionate about cars.
I instruct for the Audi Club NW & PCA and so I do numerous track days per year. Chris, that did the alignment, queried me about the type of driving (how many track days per year vs. street driving) and dialed it in for my type of driving something the dealer or a normal garage wouldn’t be able to do. They gave me a computer read-​out of the specs before and after, as well as, notes on things to watch out for. I only had them align my car which came out to $ 150+tax for 1.5hrs of work (not sure if that’s the same shop rate for other work besides alignment?).
Everybody was extremely friendly and the service was great!

I have a 2006 Subaru Spec B and these guys have worked well with me and my car. I started using them initially for tires (Tire Rack installer) but I have had them do brakes, and other maintenance work since. They’re reasonably priced and seem to care about the customer a lot more than most. I would highly recommend this shop to anybody

Great shop ! great guys who run it, Work always performed to the highest standards and are willing to take on «projects «if their time allows. Bonus they are a Tire Rack authorized installer.

Great bunch of car guys, that will make sure you are well taken care of. I take all of my BMW’s into Group 2 for 3^rd party mechanical inspections, and they do a great job, and are a pleasure to deal with.

If you want suspension work done on your car and you care about performance, Group2 is the place to go. It is a bit out of my way (I live in Kirkland), but it has certainly been worth it. The mechanics are passionate about racing and they do top quality work. I did a suspension upgrade on a WRX (Whiteline heavy duty links, H&R springs, and Koni adjustable shocks). It made a huge difference. They make sure that your car rides great before they give it back to you and will take the time to do adjustments until they are satisfied (and they have high standards).
When my brakes get worn, I’ll have them do a brakeline upgrade (steel) and we’ll see what else.

I had Group 2 do a bunch of work on my old car (BMW E36 328is — coilover install, a bunch of bushings) — everyone there does great work and they are extremely friendly. I have referred many friends here and we all have been extremely satisfied.
