Default A reputable Tuner shop

Do any of you guys know a reputable tuner shop around here that is certified in Hondata? I know of Lowe's Performance, Speed and Sound, and Adrenaline motorsports. Would you guys recommend me to any of these shops? Any mix reviews on them? I want to take it to a reputable shop that knows what they are doing and do it right the first time. But please let me know! Thanks!

Such a thing does not exist in this city. I think the closest place to get real tuning done would be Chicago.

The only shop that I haven't heard bad reviews from is Lowe's Performance. But Adrenaline gets the frosting on the cake for the worst reviews ever.

So if there is no reputable tuner shop around this city... What's a good one in Chicago? I'm thinking about taking a roadtrip up there asap!

Stay away from tunners in STL. They don't have much of a clue on this sar. There are some good ones in Chicago aand some in KC as well. Mase Tuning in KC seems to be one that keeps coming up with good comments. Just search the KC forum for Mase to ket some feedback.

Mase isn't actually a shop; from what I gather, he's a (very reputable) tuner based out of Florida (I think ) who is flown around the country to tune people's cars.

FWIW, I've heard only positive comments about RevLine in KC. No personal experience with them though.

There are a couple of places here in Tulsa that can do it (e.g. Humble Performance), but that's probably a little further from you than Chicago distance-wise.

JulieU... thanks for the much needed info. If I can get him down here to tune my car that would be awesome. If not, I can drive up there or probably make a roadtrip to Chicago for some really good tuners up there. Either way I'm just figuring out a good tuner that is hondata certified to tune my car.

Shawn - you're right man... I hear horrible things about Adrenaline. My friend just got his RSX-S back from tuning and wasn't satisfied at all and he recommended me not to go there lol.
