Mod Friendly Dealers/Service shops in the DC/MD/VA area?

Just like the title says...are there any Mod Friendly Dealers in the DC Area? My warranty is almost up and would like to have the car looked over real quick before it expires and they hit me with the whole your car is modded b.s.
I have a 4G TL and I'm only modded with coilovers, wheels and a J-pipe.

Find a trusted indy shop and pay them a half hour or so to give the car a good once over. Then look at the results and determine if your mods may have had any impacts on the problems the indy found. If there is no connection, then go to the dealer of your choice and ask them to fix the issues.

Taking a car (modded or not) to a dealer to have them do a "pre-warranty-expiration" check is a bad idea. They have no incentive to find problems because they get paid less for a warranty repair than for a out-of-warranty repair paid by you.

That $100 or so you spend at an indy may save you thousands.
