As much as I would love to see a local store build a reputation within the Evo community, I have to go with what I know. And that means suggesting you get your tune done by Aaron from English Racing. He really knows his stuff and will do you right.

If you contact him ahead of time he can likely fit you in for dyno tuning during the 2/20 event in Vancouver. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/no...ge-2-20-a.html

Any mention of "Pina" just shows that his shop isn't one to get involved with, in my opinion, sorry, but i am not the only one to feel this way.

 

I like the fact the English knows 100% what theyre doing and they will stand by their work and always help the customer out. It was worth the 2.5 hour drive to get my cams installed/tuned thats for sure. I know it was done right - the first time.

 

Aaron might humbly downplay 'knowing 100% what they're doing' to "but we're damn good guessers" or something along those lines. And then quote his gran-pappy!

 

to each their own sir, i must have been a lucky one... i got a great tune by them, it just took forever but he didnt charge me extra for the hiccups

 

I dont know much about tuning. But as a rookie customer I can say that the ER teams willingness to check the cold-start idling issue I was having (for free) at the Drift Office dyno day and time they spent looking over the maps, plus the OBDII emissions compliance assistance helped me believe that they offer great customer service to locals with whom they know they will see again.

They dont "do it right" for only those who raise a stink, they "do it right" so that a stink isnt raised in the first place....

The way customer service used to be many moons ago.

 

wonder where they got their map from.........

So Grandpa would say this:

"I like to smoke Cigars. I like Cubans and even Dominican rolled. I wont touch a F'ing Swisher."

They're all cigars and you light them all. They do the job you want when you want it. I think the original question needed to be asked, What is it you need done? Spark plugs or a downpipe bolted on? Engine built? Tune, installs, diagnosis, SD, etc.? If its little stuff that would be silly. If its things that you know we are known for well thats different.

 

We have had stinks raised, we try to unstink them. We want happy customers thats the goal. I think alot of business' forget that and go out of business when times get tough because people dont forget who treated them the way they should and not anything less.

When I worked at my particular Les Schwab we had a saying, We dont deserve the customer's business we earn the customers business. They chose to come to us despite all the other places they could go.

It applies to all businesses really. I dont know this Arsenal other than I have seen them use Pina's dyno. For awhile I thought they were one in the same and it was some kind of dodge. Jordan cleared that one up. I would like to point out that typically when cars are on the DD it is never cheap despite how long it takes...usually it ends up hourly.

 

One of the best quotes ever. This should go up on the ER website.

 

Outstanding, I knew I could get another quote from him!

 

English all the way!
