NC Tuners

After having my caged and gutted 06 IX sit in my garage for the past few years while I piled clothes and other junk on top of it, I've finally got it back to running.

Looking for a tuner in the NC (Greensboro Area) to get it pulled completely back together.

Any advice would be appreciated...

LOL at the take it to Atlanta comment. I lived there for 15 years and got tuned by one of the so-called tuners there and had horrible results along with a bunch of my other friends and the other big name shop has had horror stories.

The only reason to take it to Atlanta is to have a tuner that comes from Florida to tune. He is the only one worth his salt in Atlanta IMO. I can tell you who if you PM me. I can't mention his name without some people here getting butt hurt.

You are fine with Spec-Ops and they aren't that far. I know ForceFed is close as well.

Def. better off with them as opposed to the "Atlanta" tuners.

Force-Fed Performance, HIS Motorsports & Spec-Ops are all good shops in NC. All of them could get you back on the road again no problem. I suggest giving them all a call & talk with them for a bit, see which shop fits you better.

We would be glad to take a look at the car and get you an estimate going and get the car back up and running, but if it is in pieces please have a realistic outlook when it comes to the amount we may charge for labor and or parts to make it complete once again. Thanks, Freddie

So as you can NC has its fair share of "CAPABLE" tuners. More then some other states.

i've had some great experiences with Spe Ops Motorsports, good enough to come back to them time and time again. Their lot is usually pretty full, I'd call 'em sooner rather than later to see what you think about them.
