Take it over to lmr, If your setup will change you wanna make sure you get a lifetime tune. So the cost of a retune isn't a crazy high amount. I'm not sure if any other shops offer that service. Well who will stand by it anyway

I've used Gforce a couple times for small work. Very professional, fast, great customer service. They always treated me like I wasn't the "little guy". Big or small, I don't think you will be dissapointed in Gforce. They have a great reputation, and it is just not on internet boards.

Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly, but if someone changes cars and has had a tune with you, you will still only charge just the retune fee? If so, thats freaking awesome! If not, you guys still do awesome work, have always treated me very well, and I would recommend you to anyone.

G Force is the only shop that I have dealt with that I trust. Thats not to say that there aren't other good shops around, but G Force is by far my favorite.

You pay 500.00 for a Lifetime tune. You pay 75.00 for all dyno retunes.

If you sell your car. The new owner must pay 250.00 to tune it then he gets all the 75.00 retunes he wants!

I've dealt with Bryan at Pavlock, we did a ton of suspension, UMI Chassis Mounted Torque Arm, BMR Upper/lower tubular A arms, Strange 12 Bolt and a few other things on my 93 and he did a great job.

So, if i have a 500 dollar tune on my trans am, if i sell it and get another car, is the re tune fee still 75 bucks on the new car?
