What are their prices looking like? I have been hearing good things about them, but didn't they lose their really good tuner?

Nextgen isn't that good. They wanted $650 for tune on my procharged stang when I had it.
I also asked that if something went wrong it's usually the cars fault. He said
"It's always the cars fault"
So nothing in a shoddy tune would do that? lol

Usually shops quote a high ass price if ...
A. They feel the person is being cheap
B. They don't want to work on hacked shit.
C. They don't want to deal with you.
Did u give them the whole I'm just a school boy line?

Nope I didn't do that.. I called as just a new customer.. I know how to talk to people bro.. presenting yourself is all in the way you speak..
FastHatch- Regardless of how much you spend there they don't give out any real deals.. "SavSVT" knows.. I think thats his name

Well I GO to Ditos, and have no complaints. ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) They do great work and turn out a lot of nice cars. They are the only shop that I know of on the peninsula that have a dyno, correct me if Im wrong. With that said, I can see why they might quote a little high, because theres not much competition for tuning. The last couple of times I have stopped by, I ran in to a few guys from outta state getting their cars tuned there. That to me means their good at what they do, pricy but good. You get what you pay for bro. I never feel ripped off when I leave that shop, Im at ease because I know for a fact the work was done right. I have also been going to Ditos for over 7 years. Its hard to call any shop to try and get great deals with out an established relationship. Good luck to you bro .

Whereever you decide to go, just make you sure you get enough feedback from people who actually used them for your application if possible. I'm talking from experience you don't want to end up paying $500-$600 for a tune, which turns out to be pretty crappy once someone that actually has experience with your application shows you as to why it sucks.

I know they do good work bro.. A few of my budded actually jhad their entire cars built by them... I really prefer a local tuner but if they don't budge on the price I'll most likely be going across the bridge.. I'll try and go their with a buddy of mine next week and hopefully I get more love

Ok smartass.. have you ever paid almost $1000 for a tune??????? that is a rip off... I'm sorry bro.. I work hard for my money... I don't mind spending it but I don't want to spend it like a dumbass, on an over priced service...
Just curious how much have you spent on your tune? I got quotes today at other shops between $350-500 for a tune and $600-$700 w/o a chip.. you can be my guest and go spend the extra $200-$300 there, They would love you for sure...
Seems like you one of the guys who buys the most expensive TV thinking he's the shit, only to have his buddy search for about a month and get a better one for 2/3 of your cost..
I guess searching for the best deal
Every member on the board here searches for the best prices.. thats why we are all here... maybe you need to leave the board and go hang with the high rollers ![[Razz]](tongue.gif)

If you don't like the price, you can always just move along rather than getting your panties in a wad.

I am moving on.. I just preferred them since they were local man.. I'm not stressing, they are the one's losing money if they don't lower the price
