Hey guys! I'm a newbie to the tuner/AWD world. I used to do all v-8/muscle/trucks. I just bought my Evo IX about 4 months ago and I'm about to start modding it. I was wondering if anybody knew any good shops in or around central Illinois. Maybe even a 3 hour drive from Decatur, IL (smack-dab in the middle of IL). There's some things that I can do and then there's some things I just don't trust myself with. If you guys could help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

 

3 hours puts you in range of all the local big chicago shops in the vendor section.

 

Boostin' Performance is in Chicago aren't they?

AMS if you could afford it and make it in their busy schedule.

 

schnozznozzle - We'd be happy to help with any modifications or maintenance items that you have in mind for your Evo.
Give us a call or message us and let us know how we can help.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon and congrats on your recent purchase!

 

Chicago has had over 16000 car thefts in a year, be careful.

 

^^^ 100 of those were Evos

 

DG Motors, Reese Tuning, Sierra Motorsports are some of the finest shops in all of the land.

If you want a amazing tune though go through Al@dynoflash.

I got all of my stolen parts really cheap from Sierra Motorsports, cheap knock off battery trays from Reese, and a super cheap tune from Big Al!

 

Atleast put a J/K in there lol. Internet sarcasm is hard to catch sometimes.

 

Yea OP. Go to Al@dynoflash he's the greatest. You can play dyno or no dyno which he renamed will the motor blow or not blow.

 

So, there IS such a thing called 'internet sarcasm'?

Anywho, even though Chicago IS about 3 hours away, I was kind of hoping that their would be something a LITTLE bit closer. I'm also not looking for a super-tuner shop for now, just a reputable shop that knows their way around a turb'a'charged car.

 

Strictly Modified is a great place to go but it's also in the Chicago area.

 

Devo tuning by Adam also on Chicago area

 

In all honesty now, I would just make the 3 hour drive and get your car done right by a shop who has worked on Evos and know them in and out. Rather spend the little extra or drive the little extra to have my car done right.

As far as shops I would go to Boostin Performance hands in Addison hands down.

Dude, pretty sure Devo Tuning closed like 3-4 years ago.
