Default Anyone in Ocala to tune my car?

By tune I mean in this case that I'm buying LT's and a ORY for the car and I dont want my damn SES light to be on all the time anymore. Anyone on here know of someone or a place that can tune that out or another alternate fix to my problem? Any input is appreciated guys!

Rollins Automotive in Gainesville might be able to help you. If not, Jeremy Formato (goes under Jeremy F on here) usually makes a trip there every month or so for tuning.

Jeremy Formato is based in Lutz as I recall. That's pretty close, isn't it?

Go with Jeremy if he is going to be in your area especially. He tuned my car and I am love the way it drives. HE got rid of that light for me also. Very easy guy to talk with also

Call who ever your thinking about and talk to more than one guy, get a feel for them.

I like Doc and the guys at EFI, it's the only place I will take mine.

Vinny,
I don't think they would have included them, as the Feds have gotten serious about companies selling O2 sims as of late, and have fined numerous companies that have been selling them. Could just be O2 extensions that you're seeing. I could be wrong though.
