Just went ECUtek

Zipper1

Ok so its about 48hrs and i still have not received anything.
He mentioned something about getting a car ready for SEMA but im not sure if he was actually going.
i sent him another email just asking on what was holding up the process (politely). I m hoing for a response by morning.
Im the type of customer who demands attention, especially after dropping $700 on a frkn cable. if he is at SEMA i expect i wont hear back from him until about two weeks. Since hes so busy.

JARblue

lol

You don't expect to hear back from him for two weeks yet you are worried when you don't hear back after 48 hours?

Why don't you just go ahead and ask for your money back?

You seem to be preparing for the worst

Guess i wasnt clear enough.
Worried cause I know he's been here for the last 48 hrs and I got no response. If he's at SEMA now then obviously I won't get a response for awhile (2 weeks probably) and I can be more understanding. Like I said I'm hoping for the best. This is not a money issue but a time issue. My time is worth more so I don't want it wasted. JARblue I've done tons of research on Joe at Dynotronicstuning and have seenquite a bit of bad reviews. BEWARE, STAY AWAY, A Rip Off Report...stuff like that....and these are from mazda guys ...what he really specializes in. This is also why I'm worried about this just ending up a disaster. But hey I wouldn't mind being suprised and actually getting what I expected. Glad yours went well, I'm hoping others that have dealt with Joe can chime in that have had good results.

We'll definitely see.

If he's getting a car ready for SEMA but not attending then he won't be available until the car is shipped off. Interesting how you can be understanding about him being gone for two weeks at a show but you can't be understanding about being unavailable for 48 hours to finish up a car for the show.


Frankly, all the people I know that have actually let Joe do his job have been extremely happy with the end results. The only people I know who were unhappy with him did not let him complete the tune due to their impatience over his busy schedule. Some of the more negative reviews I've read were idiots who had Joe do a bunch of e-tuning and then didn't let him finish and asked for full refunds after he had spent hours on their tune.

I definitely don't understand why you chose to use Joe after all your research findings. Sounds like you should just go ahead and request a refund and find another tuner. That or just be patient.

I chose DynoT cause it was the closest tuner to me.

JARblue did you ever do any dyno runs during your tuning process?

JARblue

Nope. We discussed it, but it just wasn't in the cards the week I was able to drop the car off. IIRC, he has access to a dyno down the street, but he has to coordinate usage with the shop.

Since I still want the additional RaceRom features, I'll be dropping it off with him again sometime. I'm going to ask him to tweak the tune since I've added an exhaust and see if he can get at least get some dyno numbers.
