I don't know anything about their tuner, but Chris (owner) is a good guy and its a nice shop. They've been around a while but just in the last couple years been doing more LS stuff. He's done some very nice LS swaps over the last few years in several cars that I have seen in person.

Great group of guys, self-made too. I've known them for a couple of years, and they work hard and will not let anything go less than perfect out of their shop.
We've actually allowed them to do a couple of our HPE packages, and there are less than 20 shops in the country we let do that.
They're behind a subway, and busting at the seams of their current location.
Here's their facebook page, they do a lot of LS swaps into things that didn't come with LS's. Great group of guys, proud to call them friends.

Those guys are a bunch of clowns. I had my C5 tuned there, all they were interested in was selling me crap I don't need, they tried to sale me a clutch, at that time my clutch had less than 600 miles on it, they destroyed the passenger side rocker panel on the lift and wouldn't pay for it. It took them nearly a week to get it tuned, burned up 4 pcm's and expected me to pay for them, and the tune still isn't right, they decided to gut my cats and F'd up my exhaust and again wouldn't pay for it. ABSOLUTELY THE WORST SHOP IN THE AREA IN MY OPINION!!!
I don't play the second hand information game, but there's another angry customer with a CTSV that had a friend call me to verify they were the ones that F'd up my car.

Baileys is a joke. They over promise and under deliver. They also nickle and dime you at every chance. I have a six month project that was promised to be completed in a week. Unprofessional. I don't have the time to post the details at this time but I could lend a story if it interest anybody.

Here is why I will never do business with Baileys hyperformance again:
I have had two vehicles done by these turd gobblers. First off they swapped in a 6.0 into a single cab truck for me. They over promised and under delivered. They started off with a modest number and kept adding parts. They never shot me straight on a budget or schedule. I had to wait hand over foot with the dumb bastards. Tuning???? Ha. They couldn't tune a bicycle.... my truck kept dying and they blamed my old computer, throttle body, injectors.... The truck now hauls *** but for the money I could have purchased a new crate 500hp supercharged corvette motor.
My truck was in their possession and it was broke into. The entire stereo was stolen and they didn't take responsibility for anything. They had the truck for way longer than necessary. Their planning for the project was poor at best.
Fast forward 2 years later: Sept 8 2016 I paid in full for a cam swap due to some lifter issues in my 2011 chevy caprice. $3600
All of the sudden they move locations and dont order my parts till a month later. They told me the car was ready 3 times. I was pissed. They ended up sending me my car via tow truck and they didnt even tune the thing. Grease was all over my engine and paint. Random **** was not hooked up. The oil filter was not tighten all the way. It was sad how they treated me. On 10\22\16 I drove 400 miles at about 80 mph and it seemed to run alright....small belt squeak...no big deal. I parked in the street (unlike me) and thank God I did. Tranny line came loose and... I made them come get the car. 200 miles more and the squeak is strong... turns out my car with 36000miles on it has a bad crank pulley. That is a 250k-500k part but if you beat it back into place it will fail in a few hundred miles. They offered me a cheap price to fix it when they should have fixed it for free.
Tuning: feb 14 2017 I finally can make it to their shop at 11am when they be there at that time. At 1130 the tuner has yet to arrive and they owner chris logs on and remotely have my tune looked at. My 4th gear is changing gears at 44mph at 2000rpm when the first 3 gears all change at 1300-1400 at most (THEY NEVER FIXED MY TUNING ISSUE). This was killing my city mileage (9mpg vs 14-16mpg prior to them touching it). The owner says this is a factory shift point based on torque. My cam was for forced induction friendly properties and no stall converter was needed for this install. It mimicked the stock curve except I am making 372hp\440tq at the tires vs 350\380 factory at the flywheel. Then the silly bastard (owner) tells me I have a 4 speed...I remind him that I have a 6L80E and the 6 stands for how many gears I have. He stumbles and then says he can only control the first 4 gears and not the last 2...
I left out how they mocked me, were rude when I had any issues and treated me like a dumbass. I don't care if I counted 6 brand new corvettes and a few lambos... I would not let them touch my skate board.
Please save your money and sanity and go somewhere else. Their actions are not quiet criminal but are probably lawsuit worthy.

So they burned you once....and you went back 2 years later?
You know that old saying, "Screw me once shame on you, screw me twice shame on me"
Right there!
I seen there new shop off of Golden Triangle West of I-35. Got a Lambo and a 2016 Z06 in the show room, pretty cars! Lots of work in the shop, lots of different cars, I forgot the name of the guy who was giving me the dime tour but he was cordial even when I told him I do my own work and had no plans of bringing my car or truck in for work. He asked a lot of questions about my builds and was professional, seemed like a decent guy and a decent shop.
