If we tuned the car before I'll gladly work you a better price.

We will also retune for any changes, other than injectors or a new turbo, at an hourly rate. If it takes under an hour to modify your tune, you're paying under $95 for those changes.

We're not trying to rip anyone off. Dan is a very thorough tuner and has hundreds of excellent tunes to his credit. Mike is gone. Long gone. 3 years gone.

Call us up and we'll talk if you'd like.

We do what we can to be fairly priced, but a full tune of a car takes a few hours, and you're paying for tuning time and dyno usage. I rent the dyno out to a local tuner for $100 an hour. Factor that into a $450 tune by our in house tuner Dan and you're getting a very fair deal.

I paid Sean Ivey $500 or so to tune my car years ago, and I also had to pay the shop to use their dyno. Don't take that as complaining. It was worth every penny. Nothing is free. And a cheap tune is not something I'd go searching for. A quality tune should be the first priority, then maybe look into the price. Don't base your choice off of the cheapest guy in town.

Get your car tune for cheap?
Don't go cheap on a tune, unless you want your car copy & paste map and then call it a day. :X

I got tuned by Mike 3 years ago. Then I got tuned by Charlie at cbrd. Now would you retune my car at $95 an hour? Although I got a 9 Turbo put on after Charlie's tune.

The economy sucks and so does the dollar...things are more expensive now, big deal.

I'm all for 4WS, read his reviews. Tamer is a great guy, he will even teach you to tune. I've actually used him for 3 years since I got my car with the exception of a road tune by KevinD whom is also awesome. 4WS has worked with me through the stock 8 turbo, two sets of cams, two o2 housings, a built motor, 35R, meth on stock and 35R going through 3 set ups with 10 different nozzles, two exhausts, two sets of injectors, and a partridge in a pear tree. He's never steered me wrong

I had Charlie tune my car at cbrd last summer
Does that count as a tune at cbrd? Would I get a retune for $250?

Quick question, how much would you guys charge for a two map tune, looking to get tuned on 93 and then another tune on E85 in the upcoming months.

Would it be $675? Even if it was at the same time?

Thanks,
Tom

Cbrd is 450 but you do get a discount for being a return customer for tunes. I believe it is around 225-250 for each tune after
