Turbotrio Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I am sure the vast majority of you have heard of us but for those that have not you can check out the website here: http://www.toybarncars.com The "Performance & Tuning" tab is getting added soon as that is now complimenting the general service / maintenance work we have done for years. Since the Dyno isn't here yet I started setting up all our European tuning accounts and so far we have: Dinan for BMW BMS for BMW APR for Audi / VW / Porsche RENNTech for Mercedes / McLaren / Rover / Lambo / Ferrari / Bentley Cobb for BMW / Porsche / Mitsu / Suby I have spent the first couple weeks getting all the most commonly requested parts accounts set-up so that we will be able to offer competitive pricing on just about everything. A very cool aspect to doing performance upgrades and tuning here is that many clients have already worked them right into their financing so they get the car exactly how they want it right out of the gate and it can all be done with one payment. For general service work we do take walk-in clients every day and like most service-oriented shops we do everything from oil changes and alignments to advanced diagnostics and engine / transmission swaps. Collectively the techs are Audi / Bentley / BMW / Mercedes / Porsche / VW certified and since we service the cars we sell they see a lot of them. Any questions feel free to post here or call me at the shop any time at: 614-799-5000 Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Good luck, Jeff! Toy Barn has built a robust brand and a loyal fanbase - having a performance avenue will plug well into that market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Jeff, congrats on the new venture. I wish you the best of luck over there. I'm not really a dealership guy, I've purchased 1 car EVER from a dealer and that was our 997 TT which came from Toy Barn. I was really pleasantly surprised with the whole experience buying through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks With the "Built-in" client-base that buy/sell performance or modified cars all the time here it is a perfect spot for a performance shop so I couldn't be happier Glad to hear the 997 purchase went well -- who did you work with on the sales side of things? I don't get over to the Barn very often but starting to know most of the guys already. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"ve been passively shopping for a replacement for the turbo since it recently got destroyed...this one keeps grabbing my attention :-) http://www.toybarncars.com/pre-owned/porsche/911/2014-white-turbo-2677938.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been parked out front a lot so its nice to stare at a few times a day If there is anything I can find out about it for you let me know, Jeff EDIT: All I see is that it was traded in on a McLaren and it made it through service without anything major being wrong / needed.

Yup...came from Chicago. The previous owner is a friend of a friend I just wasn't quite in the market yet and he wanted the 12C you guys had. I'm torn on driving a car with PDK transmission is my biggest issue...as a purist I think the transmission ruins the driving experience, having tracked one I know how amazing they actually are.
