Today, we operate a 14,000-square-foot facility featuring state-of-the-art equipment for engine building, auto body work, and manufacturing. Our team includes industry veterans with decades of experience in BMW performance engineering. We offer a full range of services, from race fabrication to daily commuter repairs, backed by advanced diagnostics and factory-level tools.Our proprietary VAC Performance Parts are used globally in high-stakes racing applications.
