UpRev Tuner in Raleigh NC.....other than Phantasm

warbird · 03-28-2012, 10:09 PM

Does anyone know of anybody in Raleigh NC that does professional tuning on our cars (NISMO)? No disrespect to Phantasm, but between the reviews and what I have observed personally going in there, I am not comfortable taking my car to them.

I was actually thinking about taking my car up there, why shouldn't I? Do not take your car to national speed in Wilmington.

I actually have visited the shop and purchased parts from them. My experience was that I could not get any help, the shop is in complete disarray, there were young punks everywhere, and it does look like a Japanese car cemetery outside. I was not impressed with the mechanics. They all looked young and not what you typically expect of experienced professional mechanics.
These were my personal observations. Then I looked at the reviews and by golly I was not alone! Everything I saw other folks said the same. Just be cautious.
I have to go with my gut.......and my gut is telling me to stay away!!!

Moore Automotive Inc in Fairfax Virginia is Up Rev Pro Tuner. Let me know if you guys are interested in a tune. Our Tuner Chris is EFI Live certified tuner along with AEM EMS Haltech & Motec. I know we are a ways from you guys in Northern Va but I know you would be most happy with us. We have tuned many Z's Evo's Wrx's Supra's & so on. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Thank You

Could you give me a quote on a nitrous tune? A little in sight about the shop?
I will need my current tune cleaned up as I am not satisfied with it.

I looked them up they seem fairly new and their website needs an update ASAP.

you can't go to phantasm anyways. they have been working on their inground dyno for a long time now. personally, i wouldn't go there either for tuning but most of them are my friends. i heard good thing about CIN motorsports but when i get my tune, it will be down at Forged performance.
