i know it's little bit late. I haven't check the forum in a while.

It was for my WRX. I thought I blew the motor, due to oily smoke, and power loss. It turned out to be blown turbo. I upgraded to VF39, and had to get it re-tuned. (done all at their shop.)

I didn't have any issues with them. The price wasn't bad, and I got the car back in timely manner.

I researched them too. Not many reviews, and the reviews are mixed feeling.

But they were the only ones that could guarantee me for the turnaround time. I was going out of state and needed the car.

That was my only time dealing with them. I didn't have any issues. Also, that was probably about 2 or 3 years ago. Lot could happen within those time.

I used to go there for tunes on my STI. At the time, John Visconti worked there and i had a great experience with them. Jimmy, the owner, is a great guy and seems to run a tight ship. His dad on the otherhand, answers the phone and can be annoying to deal with. I never seen any BMWs there, but it is definitely a great shop.

Figured I'd update. Ended up going there for some strut work after hitting a pothole since they're close to my job. Everything went well. I'd take it there again.
