All I have heard was good things about this place.

Not sure what your trying to spend or how far your willing to travel , but its in Roseville.

They do have an AWD dyno as well.

^Good suggestion.

I prefer these guys: www.eqtuning.com Their shop and dyno is in Fairfield but Ed comes up and road tunes in Reno regularly.

Thanks, just spoke to him............and he does do them

Come on guys, try some searching and check out the appropriate forums before posting.

Tint, tuners and reviews, etc. have likely been covered.

There is an entire vendor review section and the different N. CA/NV tuners are well represented.

No, Don't.

Welcome, and Sorry to be so terse.

There are threads with quite a bit of information for all the tuners in the Vendor review forum.

Maybe you could share why he needs a tune, what mods he has, what his/your objectives for the car are, etc...

And even us old guys can figure search out Juice with a little nudging.

Is it okay for him to list his mods? I mean, he may indicate brand names and this isn't the review forum. What if we've discussed that part already in another thread? OMG, the inapropriateness of it all!!!

Dean, I think it's pretty ridiculous to bark at someone new here after their first post that they should search. If you feel a question has been answered recently already, feel free to post helpful links, but don't lecture people over nothing.

There's a big difference between telling something and asking something.

In what sense? Are you saying Dean should have formatted his request as a question, like Jeorpardy?

No, I'm saying that one should be expected to do a search before asking a common question, but listing mods (especially when they directly affect the question asked, about a tune) is not something you need to search for.

Dean may have come on a tad strong with his "do a search. n00b" response, but the fact is new folks should search.

Okay, everyone just take a breath.

Nels - please try to be more descriptive in your posts, so if you have a question it sounds like an actual question.

Everyone - please use the search function before asking questions, so we don't have eleventy-billion "HAY GUYZ WHAT SPRINGS SHOULD I USE?" or "HAI GUYZ WHERE SHOULD I GET MAH CAR TUNEDZ0RZ?". These questions have already been asked and answered, repeatedly.

Thank you, please drive through..

[EDIT - Moved thread to GD.]

I can agree with that, for the most part. I'm just saying don't be surprised if locals who just need a simple answer to a simple question don't read all of the stickies and learn the search function (hours) instead of taking 2 minutes to post their question. As I said, if you feel the topic has been covered, simply provide a helpful link (and let the thread die if it's so useless). Or atleast you've made it easeir for a mod to merge similar threads if they want. If you can't stand that the thread is in the wrong forum, PM a mod.

I leave to Vegas for one day and everyone goes nuts. This is embarrassing. If I was that guy I would tell you bastards to piss off and I sure as hell
would never post another question on this forum. This should all be deleted before he comes back.

Quick answers to drive by questions are not necessarily good if we are actually trying to help people learn about Subarus and build a community. My second post where I ask why he needs a tune and what his mods were are probably how all of us should have responded at first.

For all we know, he put on a CAI and the car is running like crap. Sending him to sac for a tune is the wrong answer.

I agree we should move this discussion elsewhere.
