Any southern Illinois or St.louis area viper owners out there?

[JUCD VPR]

I just bought a 99' Black RT/10 in LA and i wanted to get some work done. I.E full exhaust smooth tubes etc etc. Does anyone know where i can get any of these things done in the St/louis area or southern illinois region ? because DC performnce is doing some warranty work but they charge 95$ and hour for labor. I was curious if i could get it done cheaper somewhere? I mean cheaper but quality work as well. Thanks

Best guy in the midwest is Joe Donovan. He owns Performance by Joe and is fair on price and high on quality. Give him a call at (636) 375-3151. His shop is south of St. Louis near High Ridge.

Lots of good places in Il, and Indiana. Not sure about down by St louis, but Roanoke is GREAT, Chicago area has a few spots, and Indianapolis area has places too.

Yes Joe has worked on my car. Next week he's doing a water pump on my wifes viper and I'm getting a Roe put on when we get her car back. Your not that far away being in Bellville, are you at Scott AFB?

Well over 100+ Vipers in St.Louis, and lots of wonna-be Viper techs. Joe is your guy; honest and very hard working. He put the ROE s/c on my car and can handle what ever you need done.

BTW, when you get back in town, check out our local Gateway VCA.

Joe Donovan. Period. End of story.

Joe does all the work on my car. I won't take it to anyone else. VPRGTS is right, Joe is the man.

Thanks for the info guys, how much did he charge to install your Roe supercharger? RX VIPER, i'm thinking of having him do mine as well in a few months Does Joe do tuning or any dynoing?

 

[JUCD VPR]

I'll be sure to check out Gateway VCA. Thanks again

MJ660- Yes, Joe does all the tuning and will print out your dyno with a darn near perfect if not perfect a/f ratio. He has made adjustments to mine since with the Roe VEC 2 and his laptop. I'm now at 652TQ! It's pretty amazing. I'll give you a ride in mine next time your in town. As for the price, I had other stuff done at the same time, so you'll have to check with him on the price for just the s/c install. I do know that no one in STL will do as good of a job at his price. He's such an asset to our club, and if it wasn't mentioned before, he is a Viper owner himself.

I've owned 3 Vipers since '95 and used to take them to the local dealerships here and get gouged and left unhappy with their work. Now that we have him in our club, my car will never see a dealer service department again.

Our local club is very active. We usually have 15-20 cars or sometimes more each event. Shoot me a PM next time your in town.
