http://www.donleeauto.com/ is one that I heared is the best. Then http://www.spmotorsports.net/ is another option also heared good things about them. Search around the forum as well lots of threads about this.

I find the shop situation down here just nutty. There seems to be a lot of people down here with hot cars, but no one seems to know where to get them worked on or where their car was built.

Is there nothing down here that's reputable? Especially in Orange County?!?

I really need to find a nearby shop, because the chuckleheads at A-OK (or AAA) Muffler keep screwing my car over, even on simple ****, like head gaskets, sparkplugs and even hanging a hi-flow cat.

I just need somebody close to Irvine that aren't *COMPLETE IDIOTS*!

Any help appreciated.

E-Tune is no longer is business, but Mike (E-Tune) used LS1-Edit to tune, then switch over to HPTuners.

I don't know if Don Lee uses HPTuners, or if they out source there tuning. I was referring to Mike Morgan and E-Tune. Mike used to use LS1-Edit, but then switch over to HPTuners prior to closing E-Tune.

As far as I know DLA does not do tuning. If you want a local tuner (close to DLA) there's VanGordon & Brown in Claremont.
