Default Installation shops near Boston, MA?

Does anyone know of any garages/shops in Massachusetts (Pref near-ish to Boston) where I can get a snorkel installed? I am not mechanically inclined, so that is not an option and I want to be able to take it back to a place if there are any problems with it. Basically I want to do all sorts of fun stuff to my Jeep, but don't know where I can take it. Thanks

Steve's Jeep Country in Epsom, NH. About an hour and 20 mins or so, but well worth it. Steve has worked on my rig and many, many others on this forum. He does good, quality work for reasonable rates. Check them out Jeep Home Steves Jeep Country - Epsom NH

Could check out Elia's in Townsend... about an hour from Boston. I had my lift put on my TJ when I lived in Boston. Just moved to Nebraska in June. Miss New England.

They do a good job. Google Elia's in Townend and you'll see their website. Good luck

I recommend Elias up in Townsend. They did some work on an old truck of mine that went beyond their original estimation of time and money, and they stood firm on their original price. Good guys in my book.

He can do anything and everything I have asked. Never once had a single problem. This includes building up 2 jeeps, 2 lightnings and a raptor. I Highly recommend him

to bump this up, I wound up talking with the guy over at r & d, and he explained he doesnt like doing anything too complicated, just because it takes up too many hours on the lift, and so he generally doesn't do custom work anymore. I wound up going to Gurneys Automotive in Nashua NH. These guys are real pro's, and I would recommend them for any work you need done. I've never seen them working on anything like my jeep, and I was able to just drop it off with directions (I was having a front trackbar bracket welded on, and rear trackbar bracket with some modifcations, and a RK 3-link). They were able to get it up and running in under a day, and they didn't even have to call me with any questions. My dads been using them for the last 2 decades or so, and after how they treated the jeep I wouldn't hesitate to have to do work on any car, for anything!

*and ninja edit* i didnt even realize this post was in modified, should probably be moved to the New England section!
