Northern kentucky evo shops?

I'm possibly moving to the Cincinnati/Newport, KY area and I'm looking for any evo/sti performance shops in the area to work for. Any info is appreciated.

Seriously? I've heard of Injected Performance but that's 1.5 hrs south of where I would be. Maybe I should open my own shop.

So im 99% sure Ill be moving to Northern Kentucky near Newport at the end of May. Im looking to start doing some work out of my garage and eventually consider opening a shop. I am curious about the interest from anyone? Im ASE Master certified with 6+ years of experience so I can do just about anything (that my home garage would allow). Can do street tunes with DSMLink and AEM. Let me know how you feel about a shop opened up. Im open to opinions. Thank you!

Brad,

There isn't an AWD dyno show within 150 miles of Cincinnati. We all either learn to tune our own cars, or make the drive to AMS or Buschur.

As for the idea of a shop....we need to talk. I have a business plan in the works already. Funding is vailable, and a Dyno is in the project.

I'm a 18 yr military vet (maintenance officer) that has been turning wrenches since 1990. I've tuned several cars and am eager to put my BBA degree to some use.

I look forward to meeting you. We can get together, I will show you the "car scene" if you will, and get you introduced to the locals.

Paul

There is an AWD Mustang Dyno in Louisville, KY. That's about 90 miles from Northern KY.

No shops, but there is a great tuner here in Louisville that tunes most of the Evo's in town. I am sure there are options up in Cincy also. You might want to jump on some local forums to gather a little more information. If you need more information feel free to pm me.

I used to live just south of Lexington which is where Injected is. I know injected does alot of online/retail sales, but I'm really not sure how much installation work they actually do. As stated above, there is a shop with an AWD dyno in Louisville though which isn't that bad of a drive from Cincy. The name of the shop slips my mind at the moment though...
