Exclamation Phoenix Area Folks I have a question

Hi there Phoenix folks!

I used to live down there, but not when I was doing car stuff. I have a question for you.

I run a shop in Washington State and I am currently putting a motor into an Evo8 for a customer who ended up with a rod knock after only having the car 2 months. He's fresh out of the military up here and as soon as it is broken in he'll be heading home to Surprise, AZ. I need to send him to a good, knowledgeable, reputable tuner and shop in that area to make sure that the car gets tuned well and is kept reliable.


So my question is simple, who do I send him to? Any contact info would be helpful too. Thank you in advance!

I highly recommend UMS Tuning in Mesa, AZ. Tony is the shop owner/tuner. James is the shop manager and handles all phone calls. Their number is 480-446-8863.

If it's a good suggestion, great. I'm just not familiar with what shops are down there. Thanks!

This would not be my first choice in regards to looking for a shop to build/tune my Evo.
