Al from dynoflash is a joke!!
Al from dynoflash is a joke!!
To be honest I held Al pretty high in my book before this past weekend. He did a mail-in flash for me when I first got my evo and I really liked it. But then he lost me as a customer forever by his actions. I paid $100 deposit for him to fly out to the west coast(sacramento), but after he took my money I realized he wasn't even going to be at a performance shop with a dyno at all. I found out that we were just supposed to meet him at some hotel in Sac. That sounded ghetto to me, but I thought whatever he will just road tune my car. Well, there was an accident on the 50 freeway, so I was like 30 min. late and he wasn't even there. I was late tho, so I'm not worried. But then Al gets my car ready to road tune and gets in the drivers seat. He then drives out of the parking lot and down an semi-steep hill, he takes the driveway at no angle at all, just straight on, and smacks my front end on the ground. I was not happy. Then we drove like 1/4 mile and we realize the cigarette lighter isn't working so we had to go back. He turns around, then slams his foot on the gas and slams it from gear to gear, totally driving and shifting like he had never drove a exedy twin-disk in his life(I know he has). I was not happy. Then we drive up the hill he smacked my front end on again, he takes it at no angle again and luckily he didn't scrape. But....when he pulled back into the parking space he smacked my front bumper into the curb and then it went up on it. He then backed it up off the curb as it scraped coming down off it as well. He did all this and didn't even say sorry!! Well, I got my cigarette lighter working, and he got back in the drivers seat to road tune it again. I said "No I would really like to drive my car." He wouldn't let me saying "I don't let people drive me around." I'm like WTF, so I say well your not driving my car again after what you just did. He acted like he did nothing at all!! He gave me my money back for the tuning and I left, but I did not get my deposit back at all. And never once did I get an apology. I'm paying him for the tuning not the otrher way around. And unless I get a serious apology, me and none of my friends will never do business with Dynoflash and Al again. You messed with the wrong person Al!!
One other guy who got tuned earlier said Al was eating a burger, flooring it in 3rd, looking at the AFR's, and using his knee to steer all while tuning his car.

SOrry to hear that. Al's customer service is a little rough, I must agree; impolite at best, almost condoscending. I'm sure he would'nt appreciate a customer taking his car out for a little under-carriage abuse...

That's for the info. as much as I want to do a tune for my mods with a flash, I'll look at other options, if anything I'll set up a dyno time to do the flash...if I go with his.

OUCH!!! Sounds like you had a pretty bad experience. Sorry dude, but there are other routes to tune your car. The flash is great, but sometimes the service can be questionable. Hope things work out for ya bro.

I got a mail-in tune done by Al at Pruven and he decided to drive my car after flashing it. He pounded the **** out of it. Granted I do the same, but IT IS MY CAR. Not only is he putting himself in considerable legal risk by driving someone else's car that hard on public roads, but it's not exactly the nicest thing either. He gets a 
from me on him test driving customers cars that hard. You can get an idea of how the car is running with much saner driving
