Typical Cost for a Tune?

What is the typical price for a tune? Also, I am having trouble finding anybody in the Metro Detroit area who does the tunes for our cars. Any help would be appreciated!

I got quoted at $600 at Livernois Motorsports which I thought was a bit steep. $250 is reasonable, so how does the trifecta tune work? Does CIA send you a GT programmer and you plug it in and loud up the tune then ship the GT programmer back?

Sorry for all of the questions, but I am new to Cobalts. I am more familiar with Neons...
