Tuner Shop near East Coast/MD?

asd370z · 10-11-2017, 03:41 PM

Looking for a Tuner near me. Seems like the only good places are in Cali. I live in Western MD so really any shop in Southern PA, MD, Northen Virginia or even West Virginia will do

I heard very good things about Hill's Garage. No personal experience. I believe there are a few good shops in that area.

Also AAM, had TT kit installed, tuned and dynoed by them.

Echoing Jayhovah, Hill's Garage is supposed to be great. I'm planning to use them for my tune this time around. They were way more reasonable than RT Tuning for an EcuTek tune.

I like Moore Automotive out of Fairfax, VA. They work on a lot of Japanese imports. I've had just some minor work done there, but heard they do great tuning.

+1 for hill's garage. They know what they are doing and will not charge you outrageous prices. AAM and MA motorsports are both experienced, but be prepared to pay a bunch. MA will charge you $900-$1000 minimum, for the tune on top of whatever tuning license you need.

The 2 who i would trust is RT Tuning, and MA Motorsports. RT did mine back in '12. I've had zero issues. I live south of the 'burgh and traveled to them. I don't know much about Hill's. Only one or two bad reports mixed in with some good reports. But you get that with everyone.

What is the normal cost total for AAM/MA and Hills?

With UpRev. You have 3 levels. When I had my done. It was something like $500.00, no cable. $750.00,with cable and limited access. And $900.00, full access tuner cable. All tuning was done on a DynoJet.

Hills quoted me $850 for Dyno Tune with license. RT quoted me $1060. If I were convinced RT would do a better job I'd go with them, but the reports I've heard about Hills lately was that they do amazing work and really care about client cars.

macneil187 · 10-26-2017, 08:58 PM

I can tell you I had a car tuned at MA, cost me $900 just on the tune. The car already had a stand alone and had a so-so tune from a previous tuner. so not as bad as if they had to start from scratch. After picking up the car and reviewing the tune tables, I found they returned the ignition map back to stock and left it like that. $900 for a tune that the ignition timing was not worked on. Just my experience with them.
