Repair shops in CT-MA area

I recently moved to connecticut and my car has been giving me terrible ignition related problems. Does anyone know a GOOD shop that specializes either in ignition work or in thirdgens?

I can travel and leave the car because Its not my primary mode of transportation anymore.

Thanks
James

I know of a shop in Manchester, where you live, that does a lot of work on performance cars, and although I have never gone there, I have been there for dynoes and such. It is J&M Motorsports, or (at least it used to be) K&M Corvettes! They could probably do the work you want, but it may not be cheap!

i used J&m alot. they are real good guys. they know their stuff. its now j&m motorsports, but the sign still says J&m corvettes. they are over by the parkade in manchester, on the other side of the street as wendys or kool cow. it kinda set back, behind a building with a blue top.

donnie had done 90% of the work on my car. hes got a iroc too. the owner is mike.

Mike has the red Nova right! He was at the track and he was telling us the probs he was having. It wasn't staying in the right gear and still runing mid to low 10s! He used to take that car up to the Pike when he was runing 9.90s, but I am sure he stays away now!

J&M is behind either a car wash or an emissions building (I haven't been there for a couple of years!).

They have an inground dyno, and they do great work, and do it right (I have heard from others). I may be using them to get a baseline dyno soon, if someone gets a dyno day together!

He was going 9.90s at Epping, but now he is running more boost and having issues! That car pretty much owned the Turnpike for a year!
