Who would u choose

Whats up again fellas I am at my 60k mark and im about to do my timing belt service. My dealership has a master tech who knows his stuff and we became very cool over the past year and he does all my work and anytime I have a problem he is there(I have alot of trust in him). I have cams and cam gears and other mods in my sig that i need to get installed also and I talked with Andrew at Dyno4mance who is on hell of a guy also and he said that he can do those same jobs for around the same price. My master tech was intially going to install everything and I was going to take the car to Andrew for the tuning. honestly guys do u think I should let Andrew do everything then the tune or let my master tech do the install and Andrew tuning? The price is very identical for everything and my master tech is a genuis on cars!!!! Help me decide.

thats the thing. i trust michael to the upmost and he made a good point about whatever the dealer fixes recieves a 1yr 12000 mile warranty for that install. I also trust Andrew because he gives me good advice and never tries to sell me anything hes always there for me 2.

dealer+mods=dissaster... i would rather 1 person do everything, than having different peeps toyin with my car... but if you trust the "master tech" at the dealer more than the other guy to do the install and trust the other guy more than the dealer to do the tune??? what do you do?

Screw dealers, they are clown shoes. Give your buisness to small buisness owners.

Oh yeah I know that too.. Only thing that concerns me about that is his distance if something may go wrong 400miles away compared to my dealer 5miles.

Like people said go with where you feel better taking the car. IMO I would go to a performance shop that does those install all day everyday.

Dyno4mance FTW! Andrew is an awesome guy. He will do it right, no doubt. I have taken my Evo to him for all of my service and maintenance since I've owned the car. He has done a perfect job on everything.

Andrew experience makes my decision harder. For the guys who have been to him what type of warranty does he offer on his install
