all thous choices but you can only choose one.

really? majority of the shops i now will gladly take any business. theyre lie drunk ***** at a bar, whatever comes their way.

i took my 350z to sound performance, sat a long time. they have a great reputation but overall wasnt too impressed. they have a clean shop, appear professional, etc. they do great work, just very very slow. this is the case with alot of shops.

Its a shame u had a bad experience there or whatever, but were talking about tuning, not gossip and drama. all bull**** aside he is an outstanding tuner and u know ur car will be in great running order when u leave

I drive the few hours to Ivey also, he's the only person I will allow to touch my car, whether I drive it or trailer it there.

Accept the risks or learn to tune your self. If I was a tuner reading this, I might be crossing my fingers you don't choose me

The ? question on the poll was "How many shops have tuned your car" ...truth is i've had 4 total.... BUT.... I had to go through 3 to find the 1 that did it correctly. So my answer is ...I would only go to one shop...but it took a year and 3 tuners to find the right one.
I've done all the work on my car (with the exception of the cams) and I know of 2 tuners closer to where i live. It's all about trust with a tuner and a shop.
