Question Is Vishnu legit?

I am ready to begin careful upgrades for my Evo 9 now that I have broken her in. I tried to visit the address listed on the Vishnu website this afternoon to check out the facility but ended up at some residential houses in a rural neighborhood! ! I was expecting to see an beautiful tuning shop like those I have experienced overseas. Then I looked up the 2nd address listed on their website and it was Auto Care 2000??? Is this a real business or just some chaps fronting out of their freinds bedroom???
They look good online but I want to see where all the research and development is taking place and have a word with them before I invest my hard earned dollars. I also tried calling them but got no answer. Has anyone been to this Danville office? The best tuners in the world like Ruf for Porsche have absolutely magnificent facilities. If Vishnu are supposed "tuners" like Dynoflash and Robispec who work out of their bedroom I will be very disappointed and lose all respect.

i love them. shiv has tuned my car twice already and is going to tune it again on the 14th. they have really good customer service (when you can reach them). the fact of the matter is that just like any shop, they are busy 24/7 and it can be hard to contact them sometimes, but whenever you do they are extremely helpful. somethings that helped me decide to go through vishnu are that they have user friendly software, well experienced workers and tuners and last but not least they are really helpful. i would def. call them legit and would trust them with my business.

We'll point you in all the right directions for parts, tuning, warranty work, etc. I've personally never taken my Evo to Vishnu but there are members who have. Other local shops include WORKS, Gruppe-S, Speed Element, fiaevo.com, ForceFed, etc.

Well he's got a legit gripe. No need to make it personal. Somehow he got a residential address. He certainly didn't pull it out of thin air.

You mean 3 years. That's how long they've been here.

Thank you for the link. I look for cleanliness, organization, tools and resources and professionalism in a tuner that I can trust with my vehicles. Otherwise I just as soon leave them stock. The US has many substandard tuners who can talk the talk online. All I want to know is where the Vishnu tuning facility is so I can pay them a visit. Honestly I did not think that was too much to ask?

Just FYI - my address at Dyno Flash is 700 Canal Street - (A/k/a Harbor Square Office Complex) 3rd Floor, Stamford, CT 06902.


It is a 5 floor commercial office complex and you are welcome to visit my office any Monday - Friday 9 - 5:30 p.m.

Also, I am found 1/2 the time I am in CT at my partner shop Pruven Performance - www.pruvenperformance.com

Please - what ever your issues with Vishnu kindly leave me out of it

I do a lot of traveling all over and tuning in various locations but I do maintain a proper business facility - NOT MY BEDROOM

Thanks

It's a smooth one bro!
Bro - the gentleman above is alledging that I operate out of my bed room.

I feel I am entitled to refute his false allegation and discuss the true nature of my business location.

Thanks bro

<---agree with Al...one of my best friends Carlos (fromWRXtoEVO), as well as many others have had great experiences with Al. making that statement is complete libel. good luck getting your car tuned, but do some more homework next time
