Tune/Dyno Shop coming in Northern, IL.

Hello all, alot of you have seen me talking on here for awhile, however I have always wanted to start my own Performance Shop (specializing in cobalts)....I dont have the money to do something that extreme...however, through some very careful planning, a few investors, and some family & friend help...i am opening a "Tuning Shop"...for starters.


It will feature a Lift, a Dyno, and the Tuning Software, and a car washing stall....


Im sure alot of you are asking as to why the hell would anyone pay for a shop just for..that. and not do anything else. Well let me tell you why.

Over the years, modding cars, playing with cars...you dont always have the right Tool..or its hard to get under the car...or you dont know how much power youve gained from a mod.

Well me and some friends were talking, and i have decided to make a shop to where me and my friends/family can go, work on the car for our own enjoyment. maybe do some side work. and have all the tools, the lift, the dyno, and the testing software all within arms reach.


Once the building is finished being developed (new development up here in Sterling, IL), I will offer the Dyno, the HP Tuners software for use. Yes, I know, some people charge $50+ an hour for dyno testing, and upwards of $20 for a single run, and $300+ for tuning, well thats all going to be changed here.



I hope atleast a few of you are as excited as I am about all this. However, it wont be open for atleast another month. However, your all invited (who are up in this area) for discounted tunes and free dyno runs.



I will keep you all informed.
