GRD in Naperville

Just stopped by GRD in Naperville to check out their shop and talk cars with the guys. Real cool guys,down to earth. Anywho, what drew me to them is that they have a dynapack awd dyno. After talking with Tuan and another gentlemen I was informed that they are going to start doing REFLASHES using the same Techtom software as everyone else. This is great since most of the shops offering reflashes are on both coasts. These guys are big with scooby's and audi's and had many great APS products in stock in the sales room. Just thought you guys would be interested in a local shop that will be doing reflashes and not have to convert over to FWD in order to get it dynoed.

Just a note. I'm not trying to bash GRD when i say this either.

My friend has a 98 GST Eclipse and had GRD do all of his internals to install a big 16g turbo. In the end he was happy and now pushs very good whp number but from what he has said it wasn't worth the hassle. Lots of delays, run arounds, and suggesting unnecessary mods.

Though on the other hand I though GRD was on the list of distribotors for Vishnu products.
