Default mod friendly dealership

We just lost a mod friendly service manager from NW Hills Jeep in Torrington, Ct
Anyone know of a mod friendly dealership in the Ct area???
Bought my JK at Papa's in New Britian because they had what I wanted on the lot. However they are not mod friendly. By that I mean they will void your warranty and once your VIN is listed, you're done for.
BASTAGES! Fargin ICE A Holes. It's a freaking Jeep Damnit
Thanks.

i was down at Gengras in East Hartford just to get parts and was talking to the parts guy about wheeling mine, if any thing it seemed like they encouraged me to be wheeling it hard. haven't taken it in for service yet but i might, hopefully their service guys are as cool as the parts guys there.

Good looks about papas, i went down there once last year to pick up a replacement window for my soft top, nice dealership, there were two real decently done up TJs in the lot when i got there so i would have thought otherwise on their stance towards jeepers like us.

I had two in the area in Mass that use to be mod friendly. both service managers said they will need to be hard on me from now on because they have little faith chrysler will reiemburse them. They said unfortunately they will honor if they do the work but otherwise I'd be on my own.

When i bought my JK at Papas I asked the Service manager about mods. He checked with regional rep and they stated, "Unless it is Mopar items, installed by us, you are on your own."
The salesman however said, "They will work with you." Whatever that means.
I was looking for new tires and wheels and the tire shop guy said they just ordered a set of custom wheels for a JK for Papa's. He didn't say any more than that.
They could have just been putting wheels on w/ factory sized tires for a customer, bling bling type stuff.
As far as the modded Tj's, those may have come to them like that on a trade in and they are selling them like that, maybe under their certified used program, maybe not???
I'll have to try them again saying I am "thinking" about adding a lift and what would that do to my warranty as far as service is concerned, etc...
