How about an article from 2 weeks ago?

I used to be in the high performance custom car world, I did it for almost 15 years. Unfortunately the guy I worked for was a crook, and thought he knew it all. One thing I did learn was the amount of, "know how" you need to have to do this kind of work, and do it right. That being said, there are a handful of shops I would consider to be "top in the country"

FSP
ADM
Slowhawk
Cincy speed

Those are the four that come to mind. If you step away from Camaro5 and do some google searching. You would be amazed at the feedback that is out there for some of the popular shops here on C5. Hell, head over to LS1 Tech lol.

For my money, Matt @ FSP will always have my car, when I need work done. He is honest, pays attention to detail, knows his shit, and is well respected by others in the business, his competitors included.

The best way I found to qualify a shop, is to ask some other shops questions. Questions like "if you were not in the business that your in, and wanted to get your car worked on, who would you take it to?" Then spend some time talking to their customers, ask them how their experience was. Spend time on the internet reading customer testimonials/complaints.

Jannetty has remote tuned about 8 cars with cams and blowers for me. All of them drive GREAT. He also has 3 9sec Camaros local to me

Also, nobody is the best. LOL

I can really appreciate that very honest response. Unless someone bought cars from every tuner out there, how can they say, XYZ Tuner is the best? They can express their satisfaction and recommend them like, or maybe they can say that they used ABC Tuner and were not happy so they went to XYZ Tuner and are very happy. Plus whats important to me, may not be important to you. Are you making decisions based on experience, pricing, location, etc? Most likely, you are considering all of those factors. So do your homework and do your best to pick the right one for you. It may prove to perfect or unfortunately not so good.

In my own business, we describe our services and pricing and tell the prospective customer that we need to be a good fit for one another. If we are not a good fit, I refer them to a competitor.

There are clearly a number of tuners on this forum. I really appreciate that they sponsor the forum and willingness to share their knowledge. Do your due diligence and make a well-informed decision. Best of luck.
