I will never set foot in his place again! He set my friends 06 MR 2 step to 6100rpm for no reason and he just blew his motor too, I have no doubt that this so called dom tune guy contributed to it with his rediculious tunes. If i were u id stay away, he's a subaru guy that hates evos anyway
Wow. I had no idea they were thieves. My experience with my sti with them was great so I figured they were legit. I wonder why there's so many evos up there when I pass by

Hahaha. I was there for that pull and the conditions were less than optimal.

I got tuned right after. We didn't get my car on the dyno till after 6:30pm. Aaron stayed till it was done and done right, even after a 12 hour day and having to cancel his personal plans he stayed and made sure my car was tuned correctly.
NO ONE will take better care of you. This I will guarantee.
They are 2.5hrs+ from where I live. As others stated, it is well worth the drive.

In a desert even the mud hole looks good if you're thirsty.

How fast are you driving?


Seriously, I'm not sure why the OP would scratch off a premier tuner (in the country, not just the PacNW) based on 3-4 hour drive.

^LOL - it will take me longer. The OP is in Seattle. I'd say about 150 miles, with some of it doing 80 in a 70? Plus, he's a cop! (I think, anyway).

This is a good point. When I was tuned at their dyno last there was someone behind me and I think I got on about 6P or so. When I got off the guy getting on mentioned he had some leaks and other issues and Lucas respectfully jumped under the car while on the ramp and took a look.

I woulda been less than respectful, especially on a Friday night!

yeah its like Aaron said: in a desert even a mud hole would look appealing if your thirsty.

in other words he is the only so called "tuner" remotely in the area, and some evo guys wont make the easy trip down to Camas so the end up going to that dom guy because he is closer. He even admitted to me that he hates working with mitsubishi's

This is what its about, I have heard nothing but great things from this shop.

If this is the attitude and dedication that comes from the shop is it really a big deal to drive a few hours?

I could see saying that about Full Function, but damn, its right there.

Use English, they are worth the drive period. There really is no one else in the NW that doesn't ether steal Aarons maps or completely suck ***.
