I got my car dyno'd there and for 2 of the 3 pulls the dyno was out of calibration so I only got a print out for 1 of my pulls but I paid for 3, And the one print out they did give me it was all out of wack and said my car only went to 6450 rpm when I watched him take it up to 7krpm. Also they have no interest in cobalts and know nothing about them. At first I was all excited about a place 10 mins from my house that could tune my car but after being there I wouldnt let them tune my lawn mower, maybe my barbie corvette power wheels but definatly not my lawn mower its just to important to me.

oh and the place is really nice, but only because the owners dad owns arbor homes and paid to get the establishment going for his kid. I thought they were rude also but its probably cause I drive a cobalt, not a subaru or evo that has awd. But my barbie power wheels is rwd so I dunno if i would trust them with that either now that im thinking about it.

I figured they wouldn't know much about cobalts lol, reason I ask is because my cousin works their & I just found that out. Haven't talked to him for years & caught up w/him on facebook & found out he works there. I am sure its a nice place & they know what they are doing w/specific vehicles but not cobalts. Really its normal for me to see shops that don't know much about our cars. Sorry to hear they didn't give ya another 2 pulls on the rollers. Its happened to me before here in ohio @ one of the 3 dyno shops that I have takin my car to.

Any info or other stories I would appreciate hearing. Just wanna know what kinda rep this place holds locally.

I was just there today with my friend in his WRX, they seemed very professional and nice, the front desk guy "jay" was hilarious. they went above and beyond for my friend who spent nearly $2,000 on rims and tires from them. but if I had a car worth tuning, They would be doing it. They had a 1200hp twin turbo lambo getting new clutch cables, a NSX getting a turbo kit, they were dynoing a 550hp supra, and had a Nissan Skyline, Evo, 2 Shelby GT500's and a Viper out front. Lets just say that I did not mention that I drove a G5 GT.
