I'm guessing by the grill he has on the car in his sig, it's an LSJ and am also going to guess HP Tuners.

I know exactly what to look for in logs to fix any possible errors (Vince is a busy guy, so it happens from time to time) but NO trifecta tuner could claim to have the knowledge of a true tuner. If they did, they would actually be tuning with real tuning software like HPT and not sending them off to have the maps/tables modified by someone else.
Some of us Trifecta dealers also use HPT, such as the ones in Houston. We choose to offer our customers a choice, since there are things offered by Trifecta that are not offered by HPT. HPT helps for logging and comparisons too, for instance.

In Houston, we were also some of the first to test what became the HPT-Trifecta hybrid tunes (such as the Trifecta Stage 3), which is the only place anybody can get a Stage 3 tune by the way.

In some cases, it's not about the knowledge, but offering the customer the best options, so I too do not totally agree with the statement above.

Yes. One of the HPT/Trifecta dealers actually service the Laredo area.

E-Mail TrifectaPerformance@GMofHouston.com for more information.

think you can fine tune my LE5 i'm on like my 10th tune from Vince i heard its never gonna be 100% unless its done in person. Its not safe to be stalling at redlights when you turn on the a/c and when it doesn't stall it will bogg and then launch like a bat outta hell.
shady, I dont believe you have grounds for a refund if THEY deny your warranty due to modifications

my aunt called the guy right after she bought hit because she knew i was up to something because i have not had my car for awhile. He told her if i were to do such a thing that she would get refunded but the money would go back to her because she payed for it.
