    KT Motoring in Chatsworth hands down. Makes you feel like family right away. Quality expert work, tunes to perfection as well. There are meets there also every Tuesday night around 8ish.

    Amen bro !!! If massimo did tunes then that would be my shop 100% so I go back an forth with kt motoring and massimo. I 100% trust both of them with my car and I know nothing will go wrong when they have it.

    Massimo power always recommends Kt motoring for tuning since massimo doesn't have a tuner at the moment they trust kt so much that even massimo powers race cars are tuned by Kt I wish they could closer to me. However I talked to Alfred at tuning tech and the guy is super cool so they might be the ones doing my tune hopefully

    I hear you, I had my car stuck at a local shop for 4 months and I am very picky. When I picked it up, I had a dripping pan oil leak, battery was dead, catch can was shoved on top of my new carbon fiber K & N filter, running on 3 cylinders, the radiator had crushed fins on my new CBRD radiator, the radiator clamp was so close to my new Tial BOV that it dug right into it! Scratches here and there! I went to replace my IACV and they never ordered the seal for it. I am sure I will see more things later?

    We pay alot of money for these parts to look good why do they have to be so careless when installing them? Look at STMs engine bay - it's spotless from the picture anyway!

    $2K later: replaced water pump (they ordered a 8 and paid for a 9), quartermaster clutch, fixed bent shifter bracket, found vacuum leak, they broke the tensioner square - installed Gates and new belt.

    I still cannot find anyone in town that knows or wants to hook my GM ethanol sensor and AEM guages to the ecu harness? So until this is done, I am only tuned on wastegate pressure. I have 1 last shop to call, but then I may have to drive my evo 41/2hrs to get it finished? I have been trying to avoid this the whole time, but I may have no choice!

    Suggestion: Try to do as much yourself so if something happens it's on you rather than the shop you take it too.

    My gripe session is over, lol good luck picking a shop!

    Ryu, sorry to hear that. We are perhaps a bit spoiled around here; lots of good shops to choose from. Good luck, hope it works out!!

    Basically KTM, RRE or MP are your best options.

    Might as well go to Jiffy Lube then ... I'm sure they could recommend your brake and coolant flushed while you are there.

    Questions like "who's the best shop, who's the best tuner, who's the best in bed" should be tabo questions to ask.
