Black Forest Technik

It might be a hot one, but we’re looking forward to hosting one of the last few Technik Thursdays of the year. Come out and socialize with the car community at large, and enjoy some snack and drinks provided by us.

BMW, Porsche, and Audis everywhere. A look behind the scenes of the past few days as July comes to a close.

Today is the last day to vote for us for Raleigh's Best. Please help us out and vote today. Thank you!

Vote Black Forest Technik Raleigh's Best Vote once per day.

We've been rolling through these dog days of summer with some really fun cars, including multiple Audi R8s, a Ferrari, some Porsches, an E92 M3, some TTE Turbo action along with headers on a Cayman, timing chain jobs, water pumps and everything else in between.

Super rare spec on this B7 S4 Avant- with a manual transmission! Definitely not every day you see something like this.

No stock photography on our page, just some shots from around the shop recently. A plethora of Porsches, and all the Audis, with plenty of BMW, VW, and MINI as well.

Thanks to everyone who made it out. See you at the next one!

We've been exceedingly busy up here with all manner of Audi, BMW, Porsche, VW and more. Here's another recent photo dump of what's been stopping by. Don't worry though, we have enough manpower to get your vehicle serviced in a timely manner. If you've been putting off those repairs or upgrades, then now is always a great time to give us a call to schedule!

Here's a recent photo dump of a small sampling of cars through our doors. As always, we appreciate the variety and the quality of cars that we're able to take care of on a daily basis. Thank you to all our customers for choosing us!

What great weather, and a diverse turn out last night. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, this was a very enjoyable one!

Also thanks to Age Photography for the shots

This was unofficially the year of the Porsche at Alpine Volks Fair. We've been coming to Helen, GA for 15 years now and it's always an incredible time and this year was no exception. Here's a first round of a few photos of specifically P cars. More to come!

This past Monday was a wild one, but we are glad that we were able to help out a stranded motorist(s). Normally our customers aren't allowed in the shop, but when they are 7 adorable, and most importantly, adoptable canines that promised to be on their best behavior you can make an exception. If anyone is looking to add a new pup to their family then please reach out to this organization!

I would like to take a moment and thank all of the supporters who helped us in time of desperate need.

While returning from our adoption event Sunday evening from New Jersey our K-9 Express shut down at 2:45am while just crossing into North Carolina on interstate 95S.

Having 7 pups on board and trying desperately to get the van off the passing lane into the breakdown lane with no engine power was extremely frightening.

I sat there in disbelief for 4 hours thinking how I was going to get someone, anyone to come pickup the pups to bring back to Georgia which was 337 miles away.

Well sadly no one was able to help so plan B was to now call for a wrecker to tow us somewhere.
State police were called and to my surprise not many towers were willing to tow with animals in the van.
Finally one wrecker picked us us and towed us 4 miles off the interstate with a charge of $312 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thankfully my father in Massachusetts helped get us towed by a second wrecker. The driver was compassionate, friendly and extremely helpful.
I tried to get to a Mercedes Benz Service in NC but they wouldn’t be able to look at the van for 2 months 🤦🏻‍♀️
Tow driver happened to know a great mechanic who works on foreign vehicles 🙏 and he dropped us off at this location in Cary, NC
The men at the shop located the issue and although we were told they couldn’t help till Wednesday they jump into action trying their best to accommodate our animals on board.
I was extremely emotional, crying on and off all day but I knew I was in great hands.
Being short on funds and counting ever dollar I could find in my purse I reached out to our supporters at 2 Hands Saving 4 Paws Humane Society Inc.
Within a couple of hours all funds were raised and vehicle was fixed. Amen 🙏

We made it back to Georgia at 10am Wednesday morning after a brief stop in Sc so I could sleep and drive home safely.
I am forever grateful to those who helped with their donations and also to Black Forest Technique for staying overtime to get us back on the road.

We’re hiring! We have a spot open here for a skilled and knowledgeable European service technician. We’re looking for someone with experience that has great attention to detail and has a passion for these vehicles. If you or someone you know might be a great fit, then please email a resume to [email protected].

Lots of clean cars showed up for this past Technik Thursday, and Static Age Photography got a few shots for you!

The mother of all 911s stopped by yesterday. This 992 GT3RS with Weissach package was truly something to behold.

Incredible Audi R8 V10 in for service today!

Killer turnout for the first of many Technik Thursdays of 2024! As usual we will keep this going every last Thursday of the month at 6 pm. Thanks to everyone who made it out and we look forward to seeing you next month.

Our recent customer came to us wanting to go mild with their VW Atlas and give it a more rugged look and improved capability. We installed a 1.5" lift from B2BFAB as well as a set of wheels from fifteen52 in addition to a set of BFG All Terrain tires to round things out. The customer's requirements dictated we had to stick close to factory in terms of final fitment, and they are already looking for additional ways to make this Atlas more their own.

So many interesting and unique cars in this week! We had a 2.7T swapped B6 Avant, a 981 Cayman S, several different TTs, tons of BMWs, many VWs including this MK6 Golf R and a host of other cars. This week was extremely busy for us, but we're getting cars finished up and off to their owners to hopefully enjoy a bit of spring weather.

Recently in the shop: a Porsche 997 C2S, an Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT, a C8 RS6, a Porsche 957 and more than a few Audi SQ5s.

Today we had a 991 911 in for spark plugs, coil packs and some performance software from APR. This gorgeous green SQ5 was here for a bit of service, and this MK8 was back for an APR cold air intake, after already receiving stage 1 software and APR plugs and coils.

It was great seeing everyone this weekend at Southeast Eurofest Raleigh. We're lucky to have this in our backyard where so many cool Euros come out for the day. Thanks to the organizers and those who put on these event throughout the southeast! South East Euro Motorsports Eurofest Raleigh

Today's hodge podge consists of an A90 Supra, Porsche 944, Porsche Boxster, BMW X5 among several others.

We recently had the pleasure of snapping a few shots of one of our customer's gated 6-speed manual Ferrari F430. This is a gorgeous example of a period in time when driving was as raw and connected as it comes. The shriek of the S-line exhaust as it approaches 10k RPM will give you goosebumps. There's a reason that this era of cars is fast becoming one of the most sought after, and proof that absolute horsepower isn't everything.

Some shots from around the shop recently.

No shades of gray today. No sir, we've got a vibrant 718 Cayman in for APR software, an M340i here for service, and one of the most immaculate VR6 Corrados you've ever seen, with barely 70k miles on the odometer here for a bit a tune up as well as a set of KW V3 coilovers. This will make the 3rd Corrado that we've installed this suspension on for the same customer. We can appreciate when someone knows what they like. All in all yet another great assortment of German cars, all here at the same time.

On this Monday we had a couple of Audis in for performance upgrades. The Audi TTRS was here for APR Software, as well as a bit of servicing, and the Audi S5 Sportback is in for a new front mount intercooler, as well as downpipe and boost plumbing.

This week's eclectic and assorted mix of vehicles features: an Aston Martin Vantage V8 4.7 6 speed manual, a Hummer H1, multiple Volkswagen GTIs and Golf Rs, and a B7 RS4 among many others.

Insert your favorite Back to the Future quote / reference here. Many of you have seen this DeLorean at a cars and coffee near you, but were you aware of the K swap under the bonnet? While we didn't perform the conversion, it was here for us to tidy up a couple loose ends. Such a unique vehicle and one that was fun to stare at in the shop .
